Amnesia(slow updates)

Ch.4 Court

Today we leave Alaska

I put on an oversized sweatshirt, leggings, and put my hair in a messy bun. I finished packing then woke Imogen up. "Wake up, you stayed up until 4, playing monopoly with Ethan, it's 7 and you can sleep on the plane, wake up, this is one of the last times I'll see you," then her head popped up. While she was in the shower, I walked to Ashton and Calum's room. They weren't there. I walked to Michael and Luke's room and knocked. Michael opened the door. "Have you seen Ash and Calum?"

He pointed behind him. I walked towards the bathroom door and Calum was recording Luke singing in the shower. I held in my laughs.

Home(Kansas)

Ashton took me to my house while the others went to my aunt and uncles house. I got a few outfits, I'll pack the rest before we go to Australia. I got three normal outfits, and a dress to wear to court tomorrow.

We got into the car and went to my aunt and uncles house. I was staying in Imogen's room, the boys would stay in the guest room. They had to sleep on the floor.

Next day(Calum, Michael, and Luke stayed at the house)

We arrived at the courthouse and I grabbed Ashton's hand. I was so nervous to see my kidnappers faces again. I just want to go to Australia already. "Ready?" Ashton said looking at me. I shook my head.

After we did that thing where you put your hand on the Bible, the judge called me to the stand.(this will not be like a real court, I just wanted to put a lot of drama in this story)

I walked slow, nervous of what I was about to have to say. I sat down and sighed. I blinked back tears as I looked at my kidnapper's faces. I bit my lip.

"So, these people gave you amnesia, right?"

"Yes sir,"

"How did they treat you?"

"It all seemed normal, but, about 4 months ago, my mo- kidnapper that was female was always getting mad at me, and, well," that's when I couldn't hold the tears back anymore.

After a couple more questions, they told me I could step down.

"Ashton Irwin to the stand,"

"Explain what happened the day Maddy was kidnapped,"

"When I was 13, I took her to a park. I bent down to tie my shoe, and when I looked up, she was gone. I immediately called 911, then my mom, I never gave up searching for her, and after 7 years, I found her," he said, smiling a little at the end.

"Brandon Smith, to the stand,"

I put my face in Ashton's side, I couldn't look.

"I was blackmailed!" he yelled before anyone could say anything.

"No, you weren't! I was!" my "dad" yelled.

"No I was!" my "mom" yelled. Soon enough everyone was yelling. I wish I could go back to that moment where we were on the bench and everything was quiet.

"I have a headache," I yelled. Only ash could hear. Then the judge used the gavel and yelled, "Order in the court!" then it was silent. "Maddy Irwin to the stand,"

"How did you hurt your leg, was it them?" he asked pointing at my "family". "No, I tripped a few days ago," I said.

After a few more questions, Brandon was getting mad that the jury would believe me and send him to jail. While I was on the stand, he dove for me, but I ducked and he hit his head against the wall. I ran to Ashton. He pushed me behind him as Brandon approached him. Brandon threw a punch, trying to hit him, but he ducked, and I got hit in the nose. Two cops grabbed him and took him back to his table. Ash picked me up and put me on the table. He grabbed paper towels for my bleeding nose.

"How did you hurt your ankle, the judge asked me, even though I wasn't at the stand.

"I rolled my ankle a few days ago," he nodded.

After several more hours of fighting and tears, the jury FINALLY made a decision.

"On the charges of kidnapping, we find the defendant guilty,"

Then the judge said," 6 months in prison,"(it would be longer but it's fanFICTION lol:P)

After we walked out, Ashton and I sat on the bench again. He hugged me. "I'm so sorry, it's my fault, I put you through this, you have no memory because of me, you were kidnapped because of m-" he rambled but I interrupted him. "Ashton," he looked at me. "Will you shut up?" I said with a small smile. He started laughing. "What time is it?" I asked.

"3:00"

"This thing started at 7:00!"

"Ya, 8 hours,"

"8 hours of pure torture!"

We both smiled. We headed to the car when we saw Brandon trying to get out of the cops grip. "Can we go?" I said. I was scared he would escape. Ash nodded, noticing I was scared. I looked out the car window to see him mouth,'i will kill you' I gulped and looked away.

He sped off, after what seemed like hours, we were at the house. I immediately ran to Imogen's room and saw her drawing. She heard me and looked over,"How did it go?"

"Well, I cried for about 7 hours, I got punched in the nose, and Brandon threatened me, plus, I never got fed," I said.

"Well, let's go get something to eat" and we walked down to the kitchen. We walked to the kitchen and made sandwiches. I sighed, this was our last day together.
