Wheelchair Girl (A Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Chapter 19

(KRISTAL'S POV)

     The boys, Sydney, and I strutted into the drab court house like the G team we are. They all wanted to come for today, supporting friends and all. But a lot has happened since the last court reading.

     First of all, Syd and Harry are public, HADNEY FOREVER BITCHES! The video Syd and I made on tour a while ago was finally up on the Youtube after being run through an editing team or whatever. There was a whole clip of Hadney doing their infamous disturbing swing dance and them kissing by the end. To say the least, Harry looked embarrassingly loved up and the fans loved it, they always like to see their cheeky Haz do something uncalled for. Sydney has gotten a surprisingly small amount of hate, I believe it would be a mix of her beauty, small amount of fame (daughter of Mayor Ross) and charming personality. Look at me, going all girl crush on my best friend. This clip added to their cheeky tweets back and forth cause a bit of arousal, for example:

  @Harry_Styles: @SydtheKid wearing hot pink socks in your name lol :)

  @SydtheKid:  @Harry_Styles sounds like I'm dead, but thanks anyway xx :)

     I know. They couldn't be anymore obvious.

          The other bit of new information was Louis and me having a new found relationship. Cousins, such a foreign concept for me, I had never even thought about other family members besides Dad, Anne, Harry, Gemma, and technically Delilah. Dad's an only child and both his parents are dead, so we recently just spend holidays with Anne's family.

      Harry was obviously overjoyed to find out that Louis was his step-cousin that he had been living with this whole time. We should've really broken out into a rendition of "It's a Small World After All". The other boys found it quite hilarious, this just makes my life even more of a fucking soap opera. Louis had a determination to become "the best freaking cousin the world has ever seen" and spend much more time bonding with me, aka disturbing Niall and I to a wits end. Haz and I were hoping Lou could "bond" with the other members of the Styles-Johan family once we got to court, although we haven't told them the news yet...

     So there we all were, One Direction and their girlfriends, one of them also a step sister and cousin, strutting into a courthouse with paparazzi flashing from the windows like a bunch of mofo's. Liam and Zayn took strategic seats directly behind Delilah's chair, to stare at the back of her head in disgust I suppose. Louis dragged Harry towards Anne and Gemma and gave them both huge bear hugs. I saw Louis excitedly babble on with input from Harry and a minute later Anne and Gemma were just as excited as Lou.

     "Do you feel better today love?" asked Niall. He'd been worried ever since my freaky breakdown at our last court session.

     "Yes, I'll be fine today, we're hearing her side of the story I really shouldn't have to do much." I responded stroking his arm. He gave me one last worried glance before breaking into a smile and kissing me gently. That's what I love about our relationship, it's pretty sweet and innocent with not too muck PDA, just enough. We've been spending so much time with my family that we really can't afford to be all PDA without Harry (and now Louis) flipping a shit.

     "Okay, I'll be right here, I love you babe."

     "I love you too Ni." I smiled. He gave me one more reassuring grin before we both went to take our seats. 

     The judge called order and my father squeezed my hand a bit. Delilah once again entered the room flanked by police, her copper eyes cutting through the crowd and landing on me. I saw all the boys visibly tense, Harry had to force Sydney to stay down in her seat and silent instead of cussing out my bio mom.

     "Ron, the years haven't done you well I suppose. Krissie, wait until you see your new bedroom!" Delilah cackled. I shuddered at her voice, she sounded so sure of herself. I took a deep breath and Delilah was called to the stand.

     "Hello Ms. Austin, I have a few questions for you," started our lawyer, "Is it true you physically and mentally abused my client, Kristal Johan?"

     "According to her." Delilah replied, her tone seeming to say 'look how many fucks I give'

     "Where was Kristal's room and school?"

     "How am I supposed to remember her school? She slept in our house, like a normal kid!" our lawyer sighed but did not press for the direct answer, he was just getting started, I could feel it.

     "How would this change if Kristal was to live with you?" What type of question was that?!

     "I was sick at the time. I seeked mental help after she left, and lat year was given complete clearance by my doctors. Krissie would live a normal and healthy lifestyle for the rest of her life."

     "Could we see these clearence papers?"

     "No, they are held at the bank, i prefer to keep my history private." She was lying through her teeth, I could see the unguilty smirk in her eyes, not quite reaching her mouth.

     "Well. Could you please explain your relationship with Ron Johan from start to finish." our lawyer said as more of a demand then a question.

     "Gladly. I met Ron on vacation to Miami, Florida. We were at a club, both of us in our early twenties. We had a one night stand, completely drunk and forgettable," drunk and forgettable. I couldn't help but think that that described exactly how Delilah viewed me, forgettable, a drunken mistake, "When I found out I was pregnant, I knew it was his. I tried to find him on line, but instead I found some interesting information..." She motioned for her lawyer to hand a few shuffled printer papers to the judge, "Ron Johan was convicted half a year before I met him; possession and unlicensed use of weaponry! I could not let my child near that, so I kept her to myself." Delilah finished, satisfied with the horrified response. Anne seemed blown away by this news, as was I. Mixed reactions flooded my brain, I didn't exactly know what to think. This was all new information.

     "I'm so sorry you had to find out this way Bunny, I was young and mistaken, I'm so sorry." he whispered, panicked, into my ear. I nodded without expression and scanned the room. Everyone we know seemed taken aback, knowing my father was good,he couldn't do something like that. Some people change I guess.

     "Order in the court! Mr. Wront, would you like to add anything?" the judge asked Delilah's lawyer. He shook his head smugly, the little ass,

     "We will know make our decision." concluded the judge. Our lawyer told us she would be back in ten minutes. Those minutes went by surprisingly quick. A mix of people patting my back, rubbing my shoulder, kissing my cheek, reassuring words exchanged. I didn't feel any of it, I didn't know what to think anymore, I just wanted to be out.

       "Lovie, Kristal love please speak to me. It's alright, okay?" Niall's words were the only ones that stood out to me. I snapped out of it, the last thing I wanted to do wasgo into anotherstress coma and show the other boys just how much of a freak I am. I nodded at him and he kissed my cheek, already going back to his seat to hear the final decision. I looked straight ahead at the judge, the woman informed with the news that could change my life.

     "We have decided..."
