I DO NOT OWN MY CANDY LOVE
SORRY IF THIS OFFENDS
Chapter 11: Lawyers Pack A Punch
Anna's POV
"HOW CAN YOU NOT BELIEVE ME?! YOU'VE KNOWN ME LONGER THAN HER!" I shouted at Castiel.
After telling everyone the truth, I was rewarded by betrayal. Not only had everyone believed Deborah, Abby and Lynn did too.
"You attacked her!"
"She jumped me!"
"You dumped water on her!"
"Amber did it, not me!"
"Then who started spreading lies?!"
"They aren't lies!"
"Yes they are! Stop these childish games and give up ruining her life!"
"I'm not ruining her life! She's doing that herself!"
"SHUT UP! Can't you realize that you're being worse than Amber!"
"I'm just trying to make sure she doesn't fool you again!"
"She never fooled me in the first place!"
"You're just an IDIOT that only sees the things he wants to!"
"Why can't you just leave us all alone!"
Something in me broke.
"Why don't you leave the world alone and kill yourself!" my grandpa's voice scared me and I winced.
"Fine." I said simply, "I guess more than one request will be fulfilled tonight." I stared into his cold, grey eyes calmly.
"You get your wish." I left.
I found myself running home, hiding in my room… Contemplating whether or not another life should be lost in this house.
Abby's POV
My eye twitched in anger.
"Lynn, I think it's time." I told my friend.
We went into the student council room and turned the speaker on, "Everyone meet in the Student council room! NOW!" Lynn yelled into it as I set up.
Confused student filed in.
"Deborah, can you sit over there please?" I asked.
I had set the room up like a courtroom with a few missing pieces.
Deborah faced everyone sitting down as the rest sat in the other chairs. I taped a paper with 'ANNA' writen on it.
"We're are here to clear Anna's name." I told everyone.
Groans and complaints started so I hit Anna's spoon on the desk.
"ORDER IN THE COURT!" Lynn yelled.
"We have proof, and we two are Anna's attorney." I turned to Deborah, "You'll be your own attorney."
Lynn cleared her throat, "Anna is charged with; false accusations, assault with a bucket and assault."
"On the charges of assault, I call Peggy to the stand." I pointed at her.
She pulled a face and sat in the chair directed.
"Peggy, Anna asked advice on how to get the truth out of someone, correct?"
"Yes…"
"And you told her that recording it on a tape recorded could help, correct?"
"Yes…"
"No further questions. Do you have any Deborah?" she shook her head no.
"Lynn, can you show the court exhibit A?"
Lynn held up a video tape and put it in the cassette and played it. I blushed immediately.
I huffed a breath into the camera lens and cleaned it.
"Abby, you know the camera's on, right?"
"So?" she sighed.
"Hide!" we plunged under desks."
Deborah and Anna walked in.
"What?!" Deborah asked coldly.
"Nothing, I just want to know why you have to pull what you did."
Deborah smirked.
"Stay away from me!" she cried a little louder. She jumped on Anna and covered her mouth.
"Get off me! What did I do to you?!" she plucked the tape recorder out of Anna's hand and turned it off.
"I'm not stupid! I know when I'm being tricked!" she ran out of the room.
"Motion to dismiss assault charges?" I asked the group as they looked skeptically at the teary eyed Deborah.
"That never happened!"
"I next call Amber to the stand." Lynn said.
"I'm not going up there."
"GET UP HERE!" I yelled.
She jumped and sat down rolling her eyes.
"Who dumped water on Deborah?" Lynn asked.
"Anna."
"YOU ARE UNDER OATH!" I yelled in reminder."she rolled her eyes.
"Fine I did, happy? I'm still not going to detention."
I smiled, "No further questions. Any for you Deborah?" she shook her head, still crying.
Castiel got up and sat next to her giving us the coldest look he's ever gave.
Lynn's POV
"Lynn, exhibit B?" I popped the next tape in.
"Abby?!" I shouted catching her attention, "Come on!" we ran down the hall to see Amber and her cronies with a pail of water.
"What are you doing with the bucket?" I asked.
"What are you doing with the camera?" she snapped.
"Touche." the three ran upstairs and we followed.
Anna was sitting by the window.
"What are you?" Anna was cut off.
"There she is! NOW!"
"Hey!" Amber tossed the bucket and ran. Anna leaned over the rail and gasped.
She turned to us and laughed, "That's the funniest thing since 'The Flintstones'!"
"Charges of assault with a bucket of water dismissed?" Abby asked.
Deborah tried to get up but I stepped in front of her.
"That's not even the best part." Even Castiel was skeptical now.
Abby popped in the last tape.
"You just don't know when to give up, do you?" Deborah demanded.
"I won't give up, not until they see who you really are."
Deborah slapped her.
"That's for the trouble you brought me. She slapped her two more times.
"And that's for being a bitch and being the biggest idiot in the school… And here I thought Castiel had that one in the bag…"
Castiel turned to Deborah.
"That was what happened before me and Anna got into that fight, wasn't it?!" he demanded.
Deborah burst into more tears.
"Kitten… It's all lies, I never…"
"Go Deborah!" Nathaniel stood up, "You lied about what happened the day before you left… You tore this school apart. Go!"
"For once, I'm with Mr. GG." Castiel told her.
She turned to Abby and us.
She flat out slapped me. Then went for Abby. I grabbed her right after.
"I was like you once too. I betrayed my friends and helped bully them… But there's a difference between me and you; I made up for it. I made up to Anna by helping with her detention, and Abby by getting her away from the bullies at our old school. Thing is, I don't think I should really be forgiven just yet."
I pushed her away. Deborah threw herself at me but was met with my fist.
"My nose…!" she shrieked as her nose began to bleed.
"I think I'm good now." I told her, "Funny, last time I punched someone it was out of fear… He can tell you it hurts, but you got the motherload." she ran from the room crying.
"Pity Anna couldn't see it…" I pouted.
"Oh, she'll see it." Abby held the camera. I laughed.
"Wait, where is Anna?" Abby asked suddenly.
"Shit."
