:=:Your POV:=:
I stared at myself in the mirror, looking at my outfit for court;
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
I took a deep breath, the anxiety was killing me. I overheard Hayden talking to Laurence, and they weren't dropping the charges against him.
This is all my fault...
~•~•~
We sat in a court room, waiting for Laurence's hearing. I looked back to see Garroth, Zane, and Vlyad walk through the doors into the court room. Nicely dressed, and still bruised from Laurence. I didn't make eye contact with any of them, Hayden set a hand on my shoulder, and I smiled up at him.
"All rise for Judge King," a Officer said.
We all stood up, and the judge entered, instructing us to sit. I looked over at the jury, and saw them looking over and whispering.
"Today, we are here to discuss the charges of assault against Laurence Zvhal. Mr. Zvhal, do you wish to appeal, or continue on with the court?" The judge asked. "We'd like to continue on," our lawyer said. The judge nodded, "Very well..." he hit his mallet, "Court is now in session."
I took a deep breath, and the questioning of Laurence begun...
~•~•~
"So, Mr. Zvhal," Our lawyer started, "You and the Ro'meave boys have been friends for awhile, yes?" Laurence nodded, "Garroth was my best friend." "Was?" The lawyer asked. "Before I found out that he basically abandoned his sister," Laurence glared. "Yet, it had nothing to do with you.. Family wise," the lawyer stated. "(Y/n) is like my sister, and whenever they don't want to deal with her, she comes to us," Laurence stated. "And so you punch him in the face?" He asked. "I punched Zane and Garroth," Laurence confessed. "Now why did you do that? Why not just let Mr. Zvhal and Mr. Ro'meave deal with it?" He asked. "Garroth and Zane had both made unpleasant remarks about her. They kicked her out like some... unwanted animal. She was left at their doorstep, they were supposed to take care of her but instead... They mentally abused her, did nothing about her harming herself... She almost died... and they didn't even care..." Laurence glared at the Ro'meave family... Disgusted by them.
The lawyers eyes widened, "That's enough questions for now..."
The Ro'meave Lawyer stood, "Laurence, you say that (Y/n) spent a lot of time at your home when she was not at the Ro'meaves, yes?" "Yes, she and my sister are good friends," he smiled at me. "So she spends a lot of time with you?" She asked. Laurence nodded, "I suppose so..." "Would you say.. that at any point in time, did you have romantic feelings for (Y/n)?" She asked. Laurence's eyes widened, "No... I have never had feelings for her, she is like my sister." "I hear you say that yet... the way you acted was the way an angry boyfriend would act," the lawyer shrugged. "I will have to stop you right there, before you continue any further," Laurence glared, "(Y/n) is my sister. I would do anything to protect her from a family who never wanted her to begin with! She has been through so much... So no, I do not have feelings for her. Matter fact, I believe that she is seeing an old friend of mine... Gene."
"Gene?" The judge questioned. "He's an old friend, and (Y/n) has been seeing him," Laurence smiled at me. "I'd like to have Gene brought it, court is adjured until tomorrow," the judge hit his mallet and everyone began to file out.
~•~•~
I sat in the car, avoiding everyone, and waiting for Laurence so I can yell at him..
He got in the back seat and I turned around and hit him, "What the hell?" He questioned. "Why would you say anything about Gene! We're not even dating! How am I supposed to ask him to go to court? You know his record!" I glared. "(Y/n), this could win the case... If Gene can confirm everything Laurence said, then the charges will be dropped, and the Ro'meaves lose bag and all custody of you. Meaning, we can adopt you," Hayden explained.
I looked at Hayden shocked, "Wait what?" Hayden smiled, "Only if you're okay with it... I've loved you like a daughter ever since you were old enough to remember me. If you're okay with it... I'd like to legally adopt you... As soon as all of this is over."
I smiled brightly and hugged him tightly, he was a bit startled but hugged me back, "I'll take that as a yes..." A tear fell from my eye, but I smiled at him, "Of course..."
