A Forbidden Love ( Michael Jackson Fan Fic)

Court

Its January 28 1970, People crowded around the court house as we all entered. Camera were flashing taking pictures of mostly Michael. Michael sibling were helping him up the stairs, Harmony was helping me and Marilyn help my mother. Jermaine came over seeing help harmony get me up the stairs when we saw her struggling and then Jackie helped my mother's wheel chair up the steps. They handed me my crutches and i limped to the court room. They had the doors opened for us. 

The court room filled quickly with people, Michaels family, people from Detroit, friends from Washington, Rose and Lance were even there. 

Our lawyer,Michael, my mother and I sat at the front tables. Ive never been to court so this is all new to me. 

Harmony, Marilyn, Bill and the cops that showed up that night sat behind us. 

As we were sitting there, we all just kind of stared off into space. The room quieted down. We all looked back to see them bring Andy in. He was in handcuffs. I instantly began to shake. Michael grabbed my hand, holding it. 

" Every things going to be okay." he comforted me. 

" for her, but not for you negro. Your black ass is going to jail." One of the cops say.

" Dont answer them Michael." Our lawyer warned looking at both him and i. I squeezed his hand tight. 

bang bang " all rise!" the judge said. I left go of Michaels hand as everyone stood. 

" We are hear here today because of the trail Andy Scott vs. Scott and Jackson trial. There are no camera aloud in the court room, if you have a camera out bailiff will take it. "

" Are all the witnesses here?" he asked. our lawyer replied " yes sir."

" Okay begin your trial." he said then sitting down.

Our Lawyer stood up, facing the jury and the court room. 

" January 18th my client Elizabeth Scott was attacked by her husband. Her brutally BEAT and RAPED her. For what reason? There isnt one. "

" I object!" the Andys lawyer said.

" Sit down!" the judge said to him. " Continue Mr. Yelnats."

" Her hospital my client putting her in critical condition. The 2 days later beat his own daughter stabbing her multiple times then beating her. Then stabbing and beating Mr. Jackson......."

I kind of blocked them out, i was so lost in thought about Michael. I never gave him an answer. I really needed to think about it. He had my hand in his again. I knew i wanted him but I was so scared to get hurt again. But he was right. Were both adults, and our relationship wouldnt illegal anymore. In 1967 it became legal. I knew he was determined to have me again and wasnt going to leave without me.

" I would like to call Ariel Scott to the stand." Andys Lawyer announced. My lawyer and the bailiff helped me up to the stand. 

" State your name and date of birth please."

" Ariel Nicole Scott, September 20th 1947."

" Ms.Scott where were you January 18th?"

" Work."i said like it was obvious.

" Where do you work?"

" Blare Music & Dance Studio."

" Where did you go after work?" he asked

" Home."

" Did you stay home?"

" Yeah."

" Can you explain to me what you did the next day?"

" Yeah, um I got up eat breakfast, got ready for work. Went to work. Came home, went to the hospital to see my mother."

" Okay thank you. Thats all i need."

" Any more questions for Ariel Scott?" the judge asked.

" I do." my lawyer said.

" proceed."

" Thank you, Hello Ariel. I just have a few question for you." i nodded.

" Has your dad ever been violent towards you besides a week ago?" he asked

" Yes."

" Can you tell me what happened and his reasoning of being violent." 

I suddenly became nervous." Yes... Well the day Martin Luther King Jr. gave his speech, Michael and I ran into each other. We have had a relationship before then so we greeted each other with a kiss. Someone snapped a photo and put it on the front page of the newspapers every where. Then that night Michael and I stayed at my Aunts hotel and they found out. Michael had to go back to Indiana the next day. That night my mother and Andy came to my aunt Marilyns. He then started yelling and screaming at me. He started slapping me hard, then the argument got worst and he started to punch and kicked me. He hospitalized me."

" Is there something that you said to him that may have trigger him to beat you?" he asked

" Ah..um Yeah."

" Could you please tell me what it was?" he asked

i stayed silent for a little while " He kept slapping asking me if i kissed Michael and  he wouldnt stop. I pushed him away angry as hell. I told him we did more then kiss. I told him that Michael and I had sex." i let out. Everyone gasped. I kept a straight face. 

" And that set your father off to beat you."

" Yes sir."

" When did you and Mr.Jackson first meet?"

" Around April or march in 1962."

" Is that when you saw a change in your father?"

" Um no, i mean i expected him to react the way he did. When he found out i was seeing Michael again in 1963 is when i saw the change in him."

" Okay, alright. umm you said you got kicked out of your aunts and then your mother and sister moved in with you about 7 years later? correct?"

" Yes Sir,"

" Was there any violence you saw or heard about from your mother or sister?"

" Yes sir."

" Can you explain that to me?"

" Yes, um well they came to visit me for the birthday. Harmony and I went shopping when she was trying on clothes i saw something on her back. I lifted up the back of her shirt and her back was covered in purple,blue and black bruises with some opened gashes, i asked her if he did that and she said yes. Then my mother had some bruises on her."

They continued asking me questions, Then my mom. our time was up before they got to Michael or the witnesses. As we stood up to leave, michael left go of my hand but i grabbed his hand, holding it tight. He helped me stand up and walk out the court room doors Jackie had the other side of me helping. Everyone stared at us. 

" I would have thought beating you would have knock some sense into your god damn head! NO DAUGHTER OF MINE WILL BE WITH SOME NIGGER!" Andy screamed. I stopped. 

" Ariel just go." Michael said. I shook my head.

I turned around facing Andy.

" I am not your daughter. I AM NOT your daughter!" i said with tears in my eyes.
