26

Daniel's POV:

I felt a little bit better that I told him but it didn't remove the little sadness that was still inside. I was nervous about today. I would have to tell the court everything he did to me.

My hands where shaking and put then in my pocket looking at the window trying to think about something else.

'Whatu thinking about?', someone asked. I looked to see it was David. He looked handsome as always in his white shirt and blue jeans with some sneakers.

'Nothing', I looked back to the window and closed my eyes.

'Relax', he said into my ear. I turned back to him and pulled him closer to me kissing him deeply. I pulled away when there wasn't any much air in my lungs.

'Let's get this over with', tool his hand and pulled him into the car waiting outside. Everyone was going to be there. David's parents, witnesses and a whole lot of people. I took a deep breath trying to focus. David gave my hand a gentle squeeze.

I looked up to see him smiling at me.i felt happy knowing that he cared for me but I felt guilt about doing what I intended to do. We made it to the court and everyone took their seats. After a while a police officer came in with my uncle. He gave me a wide evil smile which sent shivers down my spine.

The court started and I was absent minded until I was called into the box.

'Guilty', I said to the judge and my uncle scowled at me. He nodded for me. I told them everything, the abuse the torture and everything. Everybody was shocked even Sophia who was sitting at the far end giving me a thumps up.

After a while the judge hit the gravel and passed his judgment.

'Mr Alex is guilty of the crime and is sentenced to 15 years imprisonment with hard labour'. The police led him out of the court room and he looked at me angrily.

'You did great', David said hugging me.

'Yea', I smiled. it was finally over. He wasn't going to hurt me anymore. I was cut off by someone hugging me. It was Sophia. i hugged her back. I missed my best friend. I wished her told her things.

'Hey it's fine. I'm glad it's all ', she said giving my hand a gentle squeeze. I nodded and turned to David.

'We need to go to the cemetery. I want to talk to my parents'.

'Okay sure. Let's go'. He took my hand in his and led me outside.
