Just Good Friends ❣︎ [Michael Jackson]

Chapter 20

The Trial

It was trail day I was nervous as hell. I was jittery. And I had to talk about things today that I never wanted to think about again. But now I had to. So that way Toby was never going to be able to hurt another women again.

Ever. I come into the bedroom after spending an hour fixing myself up in my bathroom! And all I was wearing was a simple black dress. And a black top. I feel Michael's arms steal around my middle. Holding me close. He nibbles kisses on my neck.

I turn around to face him. "Baby are you ready?" he asks me. I nod.

He kisses me on the lips. "I am" I sigh. "At least now this will all be over with. And we can get on with our lives"

"True. And the tour can begin. And I can make love to my beautiful sexy wife" he says to me. Happiness shines in his brown eyes. He touches my cheek with his hand. Then kisses me again. I melt into him.

"I can do anything as long as I am with you" I vow.

Kendall finally comes by. Then we all swing over to the courthouse. Fan fair was gathered around outside the courthouse. Fans were cheering. Screaming Michael's name.

We get out of the limo. Camera's are flashed in our direction. I spot Courtney heading into the courthouse. She was here. I was sure the other girls were here to testify against Toby. Kendall squeezes my arm. We head in.

We are all seated. Then Michael is in the seat over from us. I am right behind him. Cindy and the other women are behind me. We wait for them to bring in Toby. My heart was pounding loudly in my eardrums.

This was going to be the last time that I was ever going to have to see this asshole. I fold my hands in my lap. Kendall takes my hand then holds it to help me feel better. She knows how shaky I am.

Michael glances back then smiles at me. His lawyer is seated beside him.

There is a rise of chatter in the crowd suddenly.

"There is that ass!" Kendall whispers to me.

I squeeze her hand hard then I make myself glance over to where they were bringing in Toby. He was dressed in an orange and black jump suite.

His brown hair was shaggy and longer. I could not bring myself to look him in the eyes yet. I glance away. Tears come to me. I feel a hand on my shoulder. Michael. He takes my other hand in his. Then kisses the top of my hand and smiles at me.

I smile gratefully at him.

The judge comes in the room. We are all to rise. Then the trial can begin. Witnesses are called. Cindy goes first on the stand. Michael's lawyer is questing her.

She does not look a bit nervous. I wondered how she did it. She was going to be a big help to this trial. I was not sure how helpful that I would be. But I would really try.
