Louis's heart was racing in his chest. He didn't know if he'd actually be able to do this. The people that had taken the videos and recorded the audio sat there in the court room. They all look terrified but Louis doubted they felt he way he did.

He watched as each one was called up to try and explain their actions. They would stutter and try to tell the judge that it was just harmless fun and they just wanted some money out of it.

The judge didn't look amused. Neither did the jury.

"This is going good." Betty whispered, "Are you ready for this, Louis?"

Louis felt Harry squeeze his hand under the table, "I'm ready."

"You can do this, Louis." Harry whispered, "Just be completely honest with them. Did you take your pills before we left the house?"

"Yes. But I'm still on edge." Louis admitted.

Harry kissed his temple, "Once this is all over with I'm going to take you on a huge shopping spree, baby. You're going to shop until you feel better and I'm going to buy everything that you want despite the fact I know you'll argue with me."

Louis smiled at him with a soft blush on his face, "I won't argue but it's not because I want things. It's because there is no use arguing with you."

Harry smiled and they both turned back to the court where they forgot they ewre for a few moments.

When Louis was finally called up to talk he could hear his mom whispering in the pews behind them. He hoped for his own sake that she would stay quiet and not speak out.

"Now, Mr. Tomlinson," Roger Williams, the lawyer for the kids who were accused spoke, "you claim that what these kids did has taken a toll on your mental health correct?"

"Yes sir."

"Then why have sex in the parking lot of a public place? Not only is that disrespectful for you but for your partner, Harry. He is well known around this place and here you are trying to drag him and his reputation down."

"Objection!" Betty shouted.

"Substained. Mr. Williams, stay on topic please."

"Sorry, Your Honor. Louis, please tell the court why you couldn't just wait until you were home?"

Louis felt his skin starting to crawl. Not only that but he felt the anger in the back of his head beginning to pick up. When he got to that point of extreme anger he couldn't keep his mouth shut. He couldn't control what he said. He has kept it hidden for a long time now but any second he felt that it could come back.
