"The Jury and I have reached a Verdict." The judge speaks firmly, lips held tightly together as he glances around the courtroom.
A drop of sweat falls from my forehead as I stare at Harry next to me, face stern as his suit fitted his body perfectly.
I had to sit in front of almost thirty people testifying about what happened to me that night. I almost broke down several times, I wanted to throw up just being under the same roof as Lucas.
I couldn't even bring myself to look at him.
I was so hurt, damaged, broken.
But as I saw Harry looking at me with those bright emerald eyes, I knew everything was going to be fine as long as I told the truth.
I wasn't alone. He was right by my side, and I thanked god for it.
Who would've known that he was a lawyer? I didn't.
"Lucas Adam Smith, for the rape and assault of eighteen year old Birdie Noelle Winters - "
Under the table Harry squeezes my my hand tightly as we stood anxiously anticipating for the judge's penalty of Lucas crime.
"We find you guilty and will be sentenced to 10 years in prison. Thank you jury for your service here today, court is adjourned."
I let out a heavy sigh of relief, even though he deserves far more at least he'll go to prison and rot hopefully.
Harry smiles at me, "You did great babygirl. You'll never have to see that fucker again." I only nod swallowing my pride to see Lucas getting put in handcuffs and tugged out of the building.
