It's a cold universe

~ 25 ~

I'll give Milly a second chapter in her view because Chris has already spoken with the police. Enjoy this chapter!

Milly's P.O.V:

As I return to the waiting area a familiar face is already sitting in one of the chairs. Its Jonny!

MJ: ,,Hey man what are you doing in here¨
JB: ,,Just wanted to check up on you and Chris. How was it?¨
MJ: ,,It was emotional but not as scary as I thought. Chris is talking to my dad now.¨
JB: ,, Okay. You think it's enough to bring him into prison?¨
MJ: ,,I don't know, well I hope so. There will be a court hearing anyways.¨
JB: ,,Yeah. What I always wanted to know but which I never asked was......Can u play any other instrument than saxophone?¨
MJ: ,, Well.....not really. I mean, I had once a boyfriend and he had a guitar, just like you, and he wanted to teach me some songs on it, but I failed. I think I can only remmember one song, which is called Smoke on the water but I guess that's all. I really don't know, I think I just have to try it again.
JB: ,,Okay....You can borrow my guitar if u want.¨
MJ: ,, No, you don't really have to give it to me. It's totally okay. I don't have time anyways.¨
JB: ,,Well, but if u want I can teach you one of our songs.¨
MJ: ,,You would do this?
JB: ,,Of course, why not. You're favourite song is Talk right?
MJ: ,,Yes!¨
JB: ,,Great, so the riff of that song is not really complicated. When we're back at the Bakery I can show it to you.
MJ: Okay, thank you Jonny! --I say and lean my head on his shoulder--
JB: Always sister.

Just in that moment Chris comes out of the room and walkes straight towards us.
CM: Jay! What are you doing here?
JB: Just wanted to check up on you two. Are you finished?
CM: Yes I guess so. Well Milly, your dad will come out once again because he needs to talk to u a bit .
MJ: Of course!
Chris kisses me gently on the lips and from the corner of my eye I can see Jonny smiling. Everything will be okay now!
DJ: Hey Love birds! Chris can I borrow my daughter for a second?
CM: Of course!
DJ: Hey Girl I just wanted to say that we have something against him now and we will  have the court hearing as soon as possible. I'll contact you than.
MJ: Thank you, dad.
He takes me into a warm and long embrace and kisses my head.
I don't know it but I'm pretty sure Jonny and Chris were hugging each other too. After my dad pats Chris on the back and told him what a luck I have, with a guy like him, together with Jonny we leave the police station.

Later in the Bakery:

JB: You ready to try some riffs now?
MJ: Jay, do you really think this is such a good idea? I mean, it's been a while since I played. This could end in a disaster. I really don't want to ruin one of your instruments.
JB: Oh trust me. You won't. I'll stay at your side the whole time over. Just give me a sec to get 2 guitars.
I nodd and than he leaves the room.
42 seconds later he came back with a brown/white guitar, which he used at the AHFOD tour 2016/17 and a black one with the Viva la Vida logo in the back.
JB: Which one do you want. Both are Telecaster Thinline 72' from Fender.
MJ: The black one please.
He handed me the guitar and surprisingly this instrument feels way lighter than I thought.
JB: So....for the beginning......show me what you can play. It doesn't matter if it's much.
I nod and than I start to play ¨Smoke on water¨ which is the only riff I know.
JB: Good this is not even that bad. So we don't start with level 0.
MJ: Thank you.
JB: You know how I mean this. So keep a look here.
He plays a riff which belongs to the song ¨Talk¨
After he played it 3 times I tried it on my own. I failed many times, but every time I hit the wrong note, Jonny didn't freak out. He stayed calm and laid my fingers on the right taps. Or he showed it on his guitar and I tried to figure it out on my own. After 2 hours of practise, Chris and Will came in the room and I thanked Jonny for this jam/ learn session. 3 teacups later Chris and I left the Bakery.

Day of the court hearing:

CM: Are you ready baby?
MJ: Yes I guess so. I look at myself in the mirror: a black/white dress covers my body and my hair lays curly on my shoulders. Today is the day, that Harry gets into prison for what he has done. Literally everybody will be here. Guy, Will, Jonny, Phil, Chris, my mum and Daniel, Linda, Sarah and a lots of other people who I know. It's a great pressure which lays on my shoulders. Will he go into prison or not? Will the judge believe me? Will I finally be free from him. I hope so.
A knock on the door brings me back to reality.
MJ: Sry baby I didn't hear you.
CM: It's okay. I just asked if I should wear the grey tie or the blue one. What do you say?
MJ: the blue one. It fits you better because it's slimmer.
CM: Okay. Thank you! Look at us! You're stunning and for surprise I don't look like a completly idiot too. Togehter we're beautiful, absolutly fucking amazing!
I laugh and spin around
MJ: I love you from the bottom of my heart!
CM: I love u too.
