Rock Bottom (A Tony Lopez Story/Fanfiction)

Chapter 9: The Emotional Outbreak

 I spent the next few days in my dark apartment, barely eating anything and only getting up to make sure CeCe was taken care of. It was around 3pm on Saturday when I got a knock on my door. I figured it was some of the stuff I ordered since I've been online shopping the past few days. I dragged myself out of bed and opened the door without looking. I was making sure CeCe didn't get out by keeping my leg in front of her when I looked up.

ØY/N: What are you doing here?

Olivia: I came to check up on you.

 Y/N: I'm fine and why do you care anyway? You were treating me like shit the other day. What changed now?

 Olivia: In case you forgot, I was the only one there for you during your darkest times. I also remind you that I am your best friend. I care about you and you care about me

 Y/N: That's the problem Olivia

 She was shocked at my way of addressing her like that. I've always had called her Liv and I never call her by her whole name

 Y/N: That is the problem. I don't. I don't care about you. I don't care about Chris or Addison or Charli or my dad or my mom or Noah! Hell, I don't even fucking care about fucking Ondreaz and fucking Tony! Ever since I've met any of you, my life has been an actual living hell and I'm done dealing with any of the shit! I don't care about any of you! And I never loved any of you!

 It was quiet when a tear fell down her face and when my heart felt like it broke into millions of pieces. Tony, Ondreaz, Chris, and Addison emerged from the side of the hallway and looked at me slowly. I ended up crying and clutching my chest feeling like I ruined the last bit of family I had left. I didn't mean any of it and I ruined everything. They all looked at me with the most devastating looks on their faces and I especially could tell on Tony's face. Everyone looked like they were about to break any second now and I couldn't bare to watch any of it. I was just upset and I ruined it all

 Y/N: God damn it!

 I ran to my room getting Tony's hoodie and sweatpants. I went back to them and they were all looking at each other. I went up to Tony not even looking at any of them in the eye. I shoved the clothes into Tony's arms and I ran back inside. I slammed my door behind me and fell to the floor and screamed and wailed all of my feelings out. I knew all of them heard it. I sat there for what seemed like forever until I heard them walking away. I heard some of them talking but I couldn't pin out who was who. I just felt dead inside knowing that I had no one left. It was just me... alone.

 I checked the time and realized that I had to be at the court in an hour. I got dressed, did a little bit of makeup to clean myself up but not too much. I wanted them to see the marks he gave me and then I did my hair. I took CeCe out for a walk so she could use the bathroom and I left to the court house. I got there and sat into my assigned seat next to my lawyer. I was there early so I watched all the others pile into the room. The last one to come in was Noah. He got my eye and his face drooped.

 Judge: Court is in session. You may be seated. May Y/N Y/L/N come to the seating stand?

 I stood up and went where I was told. Noah's lawyer stood up and walked to the front.

 N. Lawyer: Ms. Y/L/N, what is your relationship with Mr. Williams? (Noah's last name)

 Y/N: He is my former boyfriend.

 N. Lawyer: And when did you become unassociated with each other?

 Y/N: February of last year

 N. Lawyer: Have you seen him since then?

 Y/N: No, not until this following incident.

 N. Lawyer: Could you explain what all had occurred during this incident?

 I explained everything that happened in the best detail I could describe it in.

 N. Lawyer: And did you provoke him in any way?

 Y/N: Why does that matter? He still had assaulted me.

 N. Lawyer: Answer the question

 I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. It will all be over soon.

 Y/N: Yes...

 N. Lawyer: And how?

 Y/N: I told him I didn't love him and that I never did

 N. Lawyer: It sounds like to me that you asked for it-

 My Lawyer: Objection your honor!

 Judge: Objection accepted

 Noah's lawyer glared at me

 N. Lawyer: No further questions your honor

 His lawyer sat down and my lawyer stood up and came to the front

My Lawyer: Good evening Ms. Y/L/N

 Y/N: Good evening

 My lawyer went back to her desk to grab some pictures and a video USB document. She showed me the pictures.

 My Lawyer: Are these photos proof of the Injuries that Mr. Williams gifted to you

 It was two pictures of my black eye and busted lip

 Y/N: Yes

 She showed the photo to the judge and the jury (the people who decide if the convicted is guilty or not) and to Noah's lawyer

 My Lawyer: And is this the time and date of the occurring event?

 I looked at the bottom of the photo to see

 Y/N: Yes

 She smiled at me and looked at the judge

 My Lawyer: No further questions you honor

 Judge: You may proceed back to your seat

 I stood up and walked back to my seat. Noah got up and went to the stand seat. His lawyer didn't go to the front. I assumed that she had no questions for him that will prove him not guilty. My lawyer got up, turned on the TV provided, and went up to the front.

 My Lawyer: Mr. Williams, watch this video for me please.

 She put the USB into the TV and it showed my security camera footage of the incident. It showed every last bit of what happened and that is the biggest proof. The video ended and she took the USB out of the TV and went back to the front.

 My Lawyer: Is this proven evidence?

 Noah looked at me and swallowed

 Noah: Yes

 My Lawyer: And is that you and Ms. Y/L/N, Mr. Williams?

 He sighed and ducked his head

 Noah: Yes

 My Lawyer: And is that you physically and sexually abusing and harassing Ms. Y/L/N?

 Noah: ...

 My Lawyer: Answer the question Mr. Williams

 Noah looked at me with a devastating look

 Noah: Yes

 My Lawyer: No further questions your honor

Judge: We will give the jury the time they need to decide if guilty or not guilty.

 One of the juries stood up

 Jury: That won't be necessary your honor

 Judge: Then what do you plead?

 The jury looked at Noah disgustingly and then looked at me and smiled

 Jury: We all plead him... guilty.

 I sighed in relief as my lawyer hugged me

 Judge: Then it is settled. Mr. Williams will be sentenced to 3 years in prison with another 2 years under house arrest and live with probation.

 The judge smacked his hammer on the desk and everyone stood up. Noah, his lawyer, and the juries left out one door while the rest of us went out. I went to the front center to fill out the paper work and got the check I was forced to receive. I left and went to the ATM to cash some of it out and put the rest into my credit card. Then I went home.
