Always *reunited book 2

Chapter 43

Lina's POV

     I sat in my room for days. The night played over and over in my brain. Dried tears stained my cheeks. The boys would always come in here and try to cheer me up but nothing works. I just stair at the wall. 

    Zach walked into the room dressed all nice. He smiled sadly at me and sat down in front of me. I looked down at him slowly. He looked up at me. Multiple emotions swam in his eyes. He wrapped his arms around me and laid his head on my lap. 

     "Today is the day Lee. We have to go to court." He said. I nodded slowly. I didn't want to face him again. Zach stood up and put his hands out. I lifted my hands up and interlocked my fingers with his. He pulled me up and led me into the bathroom. 

     When I  looked in the mirror I internally cringed. I looked gross. My hair was greasy, I had dark circles under my eyes, and I looked like I haven't seen the sun in years. Zach looked at me and saw that I was looking in the mirror disgusted. He walked over and kissed my head. 

     "You are still beautiful to me. Even when you look like a breathing zombie." He said with a smile. This made a small smile appear on my face. Zach turned on the shower and kissed my head one more time before walking out of the bathroom, giving me some space.

      The hot water felt absolutely great. It relaxed all of my muscles instantly. I sighed enjoying the heat. After I finished I wrapped a towel around my body. I walked out of the bathroom and into Zach's room. A beautiful blue dress laid on the bed. I smiled and slid the dress on. 

    After doing my hair and a small amount of makeup I walked out of Zach's room and downstairs. When I got downstairs I noticed all of the boys dressed in nice shirts and nice pants, by the door. They all were talking among themselves until I got downstairs. They all turned to me with a smile. 

    "So she is alive after all." Jonah said lightening the mood. I smiled sadly and nodded. Zach walked over to me and put his arm around my waist. I smiled up at him as he led us out to the van. 

   The drive to the court house was full of silence. It wasn't an awkward silence, it was more of a sad silence. Everyone in the van knew what the right thing to say here is. We all know he will be sentenced to death for all of things he has done, well we can hope at least. 

    Pulling up to the court house made my anxiety go up. Jonah parked the van and one by one each of us got out of the car. Zach instantly grabbed my hand and interlocked our fingers. He smiled at me and led us inside. Standing inside the door was Luka. He looked very nervous. He smiled at us and walked over as soon as he noticed us. 

    "You ready little sis." He asked. I nodded and looked over at Zach. He smiled at me. 

    As the time neared for the hearing we went into the court room. The room was filled with multiple well dressed people. I am guessing they are the jury. The boys all gave me encouraging smiles before walking away from me. I walked over to my lawyer Jerry and sat down. Jerry has been our family lawyer since the car accident that killed my father and brother. 

    I smiled at him and slid into the seat next to him. I watched the door, waiting for him to walk through them. I defiantly am not ready to face him yet. 

    First the judge came in. He was wearing an all black outfit with a white tie. He wore a black robe also. He walked up to the main podium and took a seat. Then the doors opened once again. 

    First a man in a dressy outfit walked in, he looked like a lawyer. He didn't look happy to be here. He looked as if he wanted to just go home. Next a few police officers walked in. They had multiple guns on them. The sight made me shudder. 

    Then the doors opened once more and instantly my eyes locked with oh so familiar bright green ones.
