Im so sorry for not uploading sooner! i would use Wattpad on my Ipod and type my stories on there but then it broke so i just stopped. But now I'm back! For this next chapter I know nothing about court and law so bear with me in my attempt at this!
Part 8
Caleb's Pov
The guards led me to the front of the courtroom. I kept my head high and stared straight ahead. I could feel Emily's presence but I didn't dare glance at her. The judge was saying stuff but I wasn't paying attention. Vaguely I was aware of the people around me sitting down and the judge calling someone to the stand. I looked and saw Emily timidily looking at everyone. A lump caught in my throat. She looked beautiful of course but her hand was wrapped in a cast. I did that.
"Did Caleb ever hurt you?" A lawyer asked.
"Um he broke my hand but-"
"Okay, did he ever try to do anything sexually?" She blushed. Oh crap, I kissed her what if she told them thought and made me look like some creep?
"No." She stated boldly. Thank god. The questions continued and each time she said as little as possible and put as much blame on herself as she could. Once I caught her eye and I felt my body heat up.Then it was my turn at the stand. They asked me a lot of questions but I was more worried about Emily. I was watching her the whole time and she looked pale and clammy.
"Did you ever-" The lawyers question was interrupted by Emily's body hitting the floor. At first my brain didn't process what had happened and then I was jumping over the podium and running to her side. There were shouts behind me but I ignored them.
"Emily, are you okay? Please wake up!" I whispered to her and cradeled her in my arms while checking for a pulse. She had one so I knew that she had only fainted but I still wanted her awake. Her eyes fluttered and flew open.
"Caleb." She whispered.
"Yes it's me, I'm here."
"Are you- are you going to jail?"
"I don't know yet." She raised her arms and wrapped them around my neck. I pulled her up closer to me so that our faces were inches apart but we were still sitting on the ground.
"No matter what happens it's going to be okay. Don't worry about me worry about yourself."
"What the hell is going on here?!?" Nick suddenly yelled pushing through the shocked crowd of onlookers. "Emily get up now. Were going home and we will talk about this there." She looked frightened and confused and her grip on me tightened mine did too for a moment but then I realized that she should go.
"Go. I'll be in touch." I whispered and kissed her on the forehead. I couldn't watch her leave again so I turned my head and thought about how much more trouble I am going to get in. When will I get to see her again? 5 years? I felt like I could cry at any moment and did the best thing I could do. I went numb.
Okay so I'm still sorry about taking so long to upload and I know this isn't long but my laptop is being slow. I promise that I'll hopefully upload again soon. Enjoy!
