I don't own Chicago or any of its characters it all belongs to Bob Fosse, This is one of my frist fics so please leave a comment below!
Velma was pacing in her cell, going over what she would say in her head mouthing the words. Today was the day of her trial the day that would make or break her life.
the cell door banged open, Velma turned her head towards the door, in the doorway was Billy Flynn. "Their Ready for you." Velma got up and followed Billy out the door.
Billy looked at Velma. "Ready? just like we practiced. Just stick to the script kid, your gonna be fine"
Mama came in from the courtroom door. "Mr. Flynn, its time"
Velma took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves she was really scared. not that she would say that out loud or anything. Chicago was a tough town they might not be so easy on her.. if she failed and was found guilty, she would remain in jail for the rest of her life, or worse get hanged, Like that hungarian women a few weeks ago.
Mama was standing in front of Velma now, her eyes were glassy as if she was on the verge of tears but she still remained the strong women Velma knew her to be. Mama took Velma's hands in her own. "Be strong Velma" before Velma could even respond Mama wrapped her up in a tight hug.
Velma was shocked. her breath caught in her throat no one had ever hugged her like that before, heck no one had ever given a dam about her..
the only two people who actually cared about her were dead and even they went behind her back in the end.
Velma wrapped her arms around Mama hugging her hard. "be brave baby" Mama whispered softly trying not to cry.
Mama smiled at Velma. Velma wiped her eyes before the tears could fall she didn't want anyone to see her cry, she had to be strong for the trail.
Billy gave Velma a sly smile. "Showtime" Velma took a breath before stepping into the trail room.
