"We are here today in the court of justice situated in central London, with charges of the death and murder of the late Niall James Horan as well as the offence of running away from officers for two months, attacking an officer and the offence of trying to murder a child in the local St. Margaret hospital; all on the accused, Zayn Javadd Malik from Bradford England. Mr Malik has one lawyer but however no witnesses to prove alibis. Shall we continue?" the Judge's words stung a little because it was making reality hit me hard. It was making me realise what bad things people think I've done. It makes me realise why people hate me, why people are afraid of me. It makes me more grateful to have someone like Sophia to keep me grounded whilst these rumours have been spreading. 

I looked around the court room and realised it was actually pretty crowded. I didn't think this day would come so soon. I was also waiting rather impatiently for Sophia to come through the doors since she is also accused of all of those charges - well apart from the punching an officer. She wouldn't hurt a fly. I know she wouldn't. 

Where the hell is she?

"Yes please continue." Carson, my lawyer who according to Tank, was the best in the whole of London, nodded his head after glancing at me to see if I was okay. He knew I was going crazy waiting to see Sophia for the first time in a whole torturous week. 

The Judge nods his head as well picking up the documents that hold the information I have been accused with. Most of the information was wrong. Accept the punching an officer. That is in my option though. The public think so much differently. They hate me. 

I see no familiar faces in the crowd though I can't say I expected anyone to turn up. Hardly anyone would- wait, yes they would. Why wouldn't they? My face has been all over the news, or so I'm told. My mother must've known about this. Lucy must come see Sophia. Nathan, Siva, Jay, Tom, Louis, where are they? This is important. 

Just as the Judge opens his mouth to talk, the court room doors swing open. I abruptly stand straight to my feet expecting to see a mass of wavy dark hair belonging to the love of my life. Instead I see curly brown hair belonging to one lanky annoying male and jet black hair belonging to some short also annoying female. What the hell are they doing here?

"We object!" Harry bellows and I honestly almost fall off my seat at this. 

"What in God's name is going on here? Order. Order! What is your names and reasons?" the Judge also stands to his feet with his glasses on the rim of his nose. Carson gives me a confused look as if I hadn't told him about this 'plan'. It wasn't a plan, because I didn't come up with it and I come up with bloody awesome plans. 

"My name is Harry Edward Styles... Malik, and I am a witness with an alibi for the accused." 

Styles Malik? What? Oh-Oh damn. 

"My name is Nikki Walkers, and I am also a witness with an alibi for the accused." 

Well that is something you don't hear and see everyday. I thought these guys hate me so much. All my years in school we have been sworn enemies and now this?
