A/N – Hey, so I've started writing the next chapter of Two Worlds, One Story, however, it's proving to be a bit difficult. So, I've decided it's time to move on with SOTF!

Three Weeks Later

SPOV

It had been three weeks since the incident happened. I was still feeling very emotional, and upset, but I was starting to get better.

For about two weeks, I'd been seeing a counsellor, which had been very helpful.

In a few hours, Chad and I were going to head to the court because it was the day that the man was to be sentenced.

I was a bit nervous, but up to it. They needed me to testify against the man; otherwise nothing was going to happen to him.

It was quite sad, really – all the evidence was there – it was one hundred per cent clear that he raped me, yet I still had to testify or he would get off scot free.

He was being accused of two crimes; one, the rape, and two, having the drug he used to spike my drink. I knew he would definitely get done for the second because of the evidence the police received.

Whether he got done for the rape or not was going to solely depend on how well I performed in court. Which was going to be easy – I am an actress after all.

Oh my gosh. The day was here. The day Sonny went to court over her rape. I went along with her to support her. I am after all, her boyfriend. Her boyfriend who loves her dearly.

I'd just finished getting ready. I was wearing a simple black suit, with a white shirt, black shoes, and that's it.

We hopped into the car, and drove down to the court house, and when we got there, there were millions of people (or close to that) gathered around the court house.

I hopped out of my side, and went around to Sonny's side and got her out of the car. I walked with her in a way that she was protected from the media.

Yes, somehow the media found out that Sonny was the victim, so they'd been hanging around, and just started peppering us with questions.

You know the type, "why are you here?", "is it true Sonny was raped?", "did you rape her?" and all that crap.

We walked into the waiting section, and sat there until we were called in for our case.

So, as Chad mentioned, we got to the court house, and the press were there being their usual nuisance selves.

We got called into the court room at about 11am (2 hours after we arrived).

The judge told us all to sit down.

"Your honour, this case is a 17 year old girl, Allison Munroe, was raped by a 23 year old local named Jake Ulysses Grant." A man in the court said.

"Thank you." The judge replied.

"Calling Allison Munroe to the stand." The guy called out.

I got up, and walked up to the stand. When I got up, Chad wished me luck and all that.

"Miss Munroe, as best you can recall, please tell the court what happened on the night in question." The judge said.

"Well your honour, my boyfriend and I had recently been in another court case, against a local media company who were harassing us, so on the night in question, we were going out to the club to celebrate our success."

"Parts of what I'm about to tell you, I remember, and parts are based on evidence we found later your honour, because I had been drugged."

"Anyway, at around 12 past seven that night, my boyfriend went to the bathroom. Around a minute later, the accused came and started talking to me. Being polite, I started talking to him. He then drugged my drink, whilst I turned away for a second looking for some other friends of ours."

"When I turned back, I took a sip of the drink. I didn't really notice any problem, so I kept talking and drinking, part way through I started feeling lightheaded, but I still kept drinking."

"A bit after quarter past seven, the guy took me out of the club, against my will, and took me to his van. I won't detail what happened in the van, because that is quite explicit, what I will say, is he raped me!"

"All of this your honour, can be verified by this security footage I obtained from the club." I then passed her the footage.

The guy the called up the rapist, and asked a bunch of questions. He denied everything.

The judge then played the footage I gave her, which proved me correct.

After which, the judge called a recess, and asked the jury to go and deliberate.

Chad and I went and got a cup of coffee to calm our nerves.

About half an hour later, the jury returned, and the judged called off the recess.

The head juror got up and announced; "After careful examination of the events surrounding the night in question, we find the accused to be guilty of both charges."

The judge then asked the court to rise as she delivered her verdict.

"Mr Grant, as the jury found you guilty, I hereby sentence you to five years imprisonment for unlawful intercourse with a minor. For the drugs charges, I sentence you to an additional five years imprisonment. That brings your sentence to a total of 10 years imprisonment with a non-parole period of 8 years." The judge said and then banged her hammer on the table.

"The court is now dismissed."

Chad and I went straight home after that. We didn't stop for the press; we just continued walking to Chad's car, then hopped in and went home.

I was glad it was over, and very happy with the decision.

When we got home, my lawyer instructed me to write a media statement regarding the case. Apparently a week before, the law regarding protection of minors was changed, and now they legally could say who it was, so I had to make a statement.

"Three weeks ago, Chad and myself went to the club to celebrate a success." I wrote.

"Whilst at the club, a 23 year old local man approached and started talking to me. Being the polite girl I am, I started talking to him. After a while I started feeling a bit lightheaded, it turns out my drink had been drugged."

"A few minutes after, the guy had got me drugged enough that he could then force me out of the club with him. Due to the explicitness of the event, I won't go into details. What I will say however, is that, the man had raped me." I added.

"Today I went to court, to testify against the man, the jury declared him guilty and the judge sentenced him to five years imprisonment for raping me, and a further five years for drugging me."

"I must say, that I am thrilled with the result, I just pray, that whilst this man is in prison, he learns from his mistake, and after he is released, he becomes a better person."

"Signed: Allison Jane Munroe".

My goodness, I was so glad this was all over, for Sonny's sake. All this drama was starting to take a toll on her. I was very upset because of it too.

Sonny is the love of my life. I tried my best to protect her, and I failed. She got hurt, and that freaking kills me. Sonny spends so much time locked up in her room, crying. The only person she talks to about it is her counsellor. I am really upset that Sonny got hurt. I'll never forgive myself for it. Never, ever!

A/N - So, that's it, review pwease :)
