court part 1

billie's POV

flashback to the court day because i just realized i didn't write it.*

-------------

"hey angel. i just woke up. today we are going down to the courthouse to speak to the judge about the incident. that man has spent the last few days in jail and now we're going to see how long he is going to be in for or if he is innocent. we have a lot of witnesses so i am positive that bitch going to JAIL! PERIOD!" i quote one of her favorite videos right as everyone comes in. "is there a reason you are yelling at elle?" finneas furrows his eyebrows with a small smile. "i was just explaining what's going on today." i tell him, getting a nod in response. "we brought you some clothes. i know you wouldn't get caught dead in a dress anymore so i just brought you some normal clothes. i guess you can't have shorts in the courtroom so i brought you some pants i know you like. claudia picked out everything else, insisting that this is what you'd like" my mom explains. "thanks mom. thanks claudia" i laugh a little and get out of bed. i take the clothes from my mom's hands and give her a hug. she kisses my cheek and i kiss her's and then i go to the bathroom to change. 

once i come out, the girls run up to me and attack me with hugs. "hello" i say in a baby voice. "hi billie!" they exclaim. "how'd you two sleep?" i ask, putting my hands on my knees and bending down to madison's level. "good, i have to share a bed with elizabeth and mom but it's alright. we get to snuggle" she explains. "what about you?" i stand up all the way and ask elizabeth. she's not to much shorter to me because as we all know, a bitch short but we don't talk about that. "pretty good. i don't like cuddling anyone except elle so it's kinda sucked but it's okay" she shrugs. "do you guys still have my room open?" i ask my mom. "yeah, just in case you decide to come home late at night or something" she answers. "take it little one" i say and pat her head. "really?!" she asks in an excited tone. "yeah, if it's okay with your mom. i'm not using it." i shrug. elizabeth turns and looks at her mom with hopeful eyes. "it's alright with me. as long as you don't leave the floor and you only come to my room, maggie and patrick's or finneas and claudia's" she instructs. "i won't" she agrees. "thank you so much billie!" she smiles and hugs me. "you wouldn't believe how much room a five year old child takes up." she whispers, making me laugh. "you are just like your sister and i love that so much about you" i frown and hug her again. "i miss elle" she says with a sudden sadness in her eyes, looking over at elle. "hey, you wanna talk about this is private a little later?" i ask in a whisper. "yeah. please" she nods. 

"we better get going billie" my dad warns. "okay. someone is staying with elle at all times correct?" i ask in a stern voice. "i can stay. as i am not a witness, i have no reason to be in the court." claudia volunteers. "thank you so much claudia. you have no idea how much this means to me" i put my hand over my heart and smile. "no problem billie. anything to help" claudia nods and hugs me. "alright everybody, let's get going." finneas announces. we all walk out to the car and drive to the courthouse.

once we arrive, i hear the paparazzi yelling and the clicking of cameras. "i cannot deal with them right now. get them the fuck out of here." i tell sully. "i'll see what i can do." he agrees. he steps out of the car and everybody continues yelling until hearing sully yell. "EVERYONE MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE?! no cameras or pictures at this point in time. if ANY of you take ONE picture, i will have to have you escorted from the premises and the photo will be deleted. this is very important to miss eilish and her family. it would be preferred if this were to not get out to the public. please respect my words and treat miss eilish with nothing but respect and understanding. the past few days have been quite hard for her and this would only add to her stress. no one is to say a word to her or the rest of the family or as i said before, you will be escorted from the premises." i hear sully announce. "you guys got it?" he asks. i hear several agreements, probably from people who don't want to lose their job for being escorted away. "i think you're good to go miss eilish." he tells me. i nod and we all walk out. i see someone raise their camera to their eye and sully points at them and gives them a look meaning to put the camera down. 

 surprisingly i get inside without anyone taking a picture of me or asking me a question. "ah, miss eilish and the o'connells. right on time. i apologize about the paparazzi. i did not know they were out there until i heard this man yelling" he greets us. "it's alright. let's do this i guess." i sigh. two police officers bring out the man that tried to hurt elle. he is in an orange jumpsuit and handcuffed. "all rise" a police officer next to the judge announces. i stand up, along with everyone else. i don't quite understand what he says but after speaking with the judge for several seconds, he tells us we may all be seated. 

"mr randy white, according to what i have read in your file you are being accused of putting victim elle evans in a coma. you were standing in line at the venue at around 2:31 pm three weeks ago. am i correct so far?" she asks. i nod and the man doesn't reply at all. "come on man, you have to say something. we have witnesses, we know it was you" i roll my eyes. "miss eilish, please hold your peace." the police officer warns me. "my apologies" i bow my head. "i can admit that i am being accused of doing so yes" he finally speaks. "permission to call a witness to the stand?" my lawyer asks the judge. "approved." the judge agrees. "magnolia māhoe, please report to the stand" he announces. i turn and see magnolia stand and walk over to where she has been ordered to. 

he has her raise her right hand and put her left on a book. "do you swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth?" he questions. "i swear." she nods. he puts the book back on the table and walks back. "okay magnolia, tell us what happened three weeks ago." he orders. "from the beginning?" she asks. she's adorable. it seems like something elle would ask if she were in the same position. "just from when you got to the venue would be preferred." he answers. "okay. i got to the venue with several friends, those of which are here today, and we got in line. billie and elle got out of the car, along with everyone else in the family, and they started talking to people. i noticed the noise level was much to loud for elle and billie got her noise cancelling headphones. elle looked out of it the entire time they were outside. i assume she zoned out because she did not follow billie down the line. i watched as that man grabbed her by the arm a-and started to choke her. i screamed at him to stop and several people tried to pull him away. he threatened to 'come to their house and kill them' if they were to continue to try to stop him. they backed off but i continued to scream. i saw elle try to call for billie, but it was too loud and her voice was to quiet. he started to grab something from his pocket. from what i could see, it was silver and shiny. i assumed it was a knife. all the while i was screaming at him to stop. i couldn't get around the people are i would've hurt him. next thing i knew, she was on the ground and he stomped on her stomach. finneas noticed almost immediately and tried to wake her. the man acted like he had not done anything and everyone around him stayed quiet. people were continuing to scream, i tried to tell him what happened but he probably couldn't hear because of all the noise. he called patrick over and they took her inside. several minutes later, billie came out and yelled at everyone. someone told her that it was him that hurt elle and she walked over to him. she asked him why he hurt elle, why he didn't leave. he tried to run but there were to many people surrounding him. when he hopped the barricade, billie grabbed him by the arm. i watched him whisper something to her and sully came and got him as billie went inside. the police arrived and so did an ambulance. billie came back out, carrying elle's lifeless body in her arms. elle got into the ambulance by help of the paramedics and they drove away. after about a half an hour or more, they came back. the police interviewed me and about four other people and i told them everything i just told you." magnolia explains, her voice breaking as she tells about what happened. i see tears sliding down her face. i want to wipe them away but i know i can't. she seems so sad. and she didn't even know elle. or me personally. i can't believe this is happening.
