Court Day

(A/N: This is going to have a lot of commotion and this includes everyone's POVs)

Ashton's P.O.V
It was the day of my court and I hadn't heard from her since last Thursday and I was getting pretty nervous. I didn't think she was coming.
I sat down in the seat beside the judge and took in a deep breath.
The judge hit the her gavel on the desk multiple times "order in the court, order in the court" she yelled. I could see about thirty fans in the corner of the court room that had signs telling the judge to free me so I nodded and smiled at them which made them squeal. "Who do we have today?" The judge asked the cop next to her "Ashton Irwin, sewed by Steven Growths for abusive and crucial beating, judge" the cop answered her "thank you. You may all sit down now" she told everyone in the the court room. Calum, Luke, and Michael all sat down on the first bench while Stevens crew sat in the first bench behind him "so, Mr.Irwin, you're part of a band that's getting pretty big, what brings you to court?" "Judge uh.." I glanced over "judge Jacobs, me and my..." I carried on and explained what had happened and everything to her.
Court went on for another half hour and she still wasn't here, this got me nervous. "So, in that case, does anyone have any objections before I make my final choice?" Judge Jacobs asked and there was a long silence "okay then, I here by claim Asht-" "I object and I also have something to say" Marcella barged in the court doors "okay, Ms.?" The judge asked "just call me Marcella, judge Jacobs" I looked at her amazed because I didn't think she would actually show up. I looked at Michael and-

Michaels P.O.V
"I object and I also have something to say" I heard her. Marcella. Why was she here? How did she know? Oh shit. I tried to look calm and turned in my seat to see where she was. She stood there in blue jeans and a white shirt. Beautiful as ever. I was literally lost for words as all I could do was stare at her as she stood there until Luke hit my side and whispered "get ahold of yourself".
Ashton's P.O.V
"You see, judge, Ashton was caught by this boys" she gestured toward Steven "girlfriend knocking him out cold. But judge, do you know how many times a night that happens at the club?" "Yes but Ash-" "no, I don't want any of the bullshit that - excuse my language - you have to offer me. This case isn't different from any others and you know that's a fact. You also know that the only difference in this case is the fact that Ashton is a celebrity. But the thing you have to ask yourself is 'how is this case more important and shocking than any Justin Bieber case?' That's right, it isn't. So, I suggest that before you call that Ashton is guilty, rethink what I just told you. Goodbye, I rest my case".
When we got to the house we had bought in England, we found Marcella in the kitchen drinking a cup of hot tea. "Guess who was found not guilty" I gave a cheesy smile as I ran up and hugged her "I'm hoping you. So I'm guessing the judge gave you a fine to pay or something?" She replied "no, not really. He was actually pretty speechless after your whole speech" I laughed while, behind me, Calum and Luke ran in to hug Marcella as well "gosh it's been so long since I've last seen you. How have you been? Have you gotten taller? Or shorter?" Luke and Calum took turns asking her questions as we all laughed together. I could sense a presence behind me so I turned around and stopped smiling when I saw Michael. He nodded in the direction of Marcella 'don't screw this up Mike' mouthed to him as I told the others to come on and they complained but came anyways as they knew. I turned my head enough to see that Michael was slowly walking to Marcella as his normal shy self when they first met and I just smiled.
