Today was the day, the moment of truth, the day that they found out whether or not Karofsky, Rick and Azimio won, and it was scaring Kurt to death. He could barely sleep due to the pain in his back, as well as the nightmares. He felt horrible knowing he woke Finn up several times. He sat on top of his bed in his best suit, feeling sick with stress and worry. He let out a sigh, feeling drained. Tears burned his eyes. He felt humiliated, and the fact he was going to need to go on the stand, it embarrassed him. His leg shook. He felt numb, cold, ill. He wanted to throw up. He felt the sweat coming onto his face. He nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard Finn knocking on his door.

"Kurt are you okay?" Finn came in to see Kurt looking as though he was going to pass out on the bed or throw up.

Kurt shook his head tearfully.

"Kurt, Kurt you should lie down for two minutes," Finn said.

"I-I-I-I-I think-I think I'm gonna throw up." Kurt's breathing sounded very hitched.

"Just-Just lie back and breathe okay? You haven't slept all night long, okay? Just close your eyes for two minutes and focus on breathing," Finn whispered.

Kurt nodded and lied back on his bed, breathing deeply. Finn pressed a hand on his forehead. "You're sick. You're starting to get sick. Even I can see it. You're burnt out. Just take five minutes to relax. You need to take care of yourself."

Kurt nodded, feeling the sickness coming out of his stomach slowly. The sweat was still on his forehead, but he was feeling better already. He was surprised that just taking five minutes for himself would make him feel so much better. He sat up, letting out a sigh.

"You ready?" Finn asked.

Kurt nodded.

They went to the courthouse. All of the New Directions were there for moral support, while some of them were there as witnesses. Mike, Blaine, Artie, Finn, his therapist, Mike's mother, and his doctor were there as his witnesses. He knew that no matter what they were going to be there for him and stand by him. As they walked into the courtroom, Kurt could feel nausea overcome his body when he saw Karofsky, Rick and Azimio sitting right there in orange jump suits, handcuffs on their wrists. All three of them were with their attorney, Victor Callahan. Kurt shook as he sat down, hoping Mike's father would pull through for him. As the judge presided, Mike Sr. sat down, letting out a sight. He stood when the judge said that the prosecution could start.

Mike Sr. stood, starting out strong and tough. "Rape," he said. "Abuse. Torture. Kidnapping. Harassment. Humiliation. Imagine if these were things that your own child had to go through every day for three weeks. Because that was what Kurt Hummel had to go through. We are here to prove that Kurt was kidnapped, harassed and humiliated by David Karofsky, Rick Nelson and Azimio Adams, and was also harassed and shamed by David Karofsky. A video had been released on social media of David raping him. I hope that at the end of this trial, there will be a verdict of 'guilty.'" Mike's father said.

Callahan then rose from his seat. "The defense would wish to make a statement, Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury. The defendants, David Karofsky, Azimio Adams and Rick Nelson wish to testify that Kurt Hummel twisted the facts and is a liar. You see, Kurt wanted it. He willingly followed them to the auditorium and made it appear to be what it was. He's committing perjury and is completely damaging these three boys' reputations. They will not be able to apply for jobs, they might possibly not be accepted to their first choice colleges when they graduate, and, there are legal documents claiming them as rapists, bullies, and kidnappers. At the conclusion of this trial, please render a verdict of 'not guilty.' Thank you."

Mike Sr. announced Finn to the stand as the first witness. Finn rose from his seat and gave Kurt a silent exchange that he will tell nothing but the truth, and that he would get Kurt's real story out.

"Can you please state your name and address?"

"Finn Christopher Hudson, 415 Whitman Avenue, Lima, Ohio," he stated.

"What is your relationship to the prosecution?"

"He's my stepbrother," Finn said.

"Did you see the kidnapping take place?"

"No I did not. I was in class. But I did know that something was wrong when Kurt didn't show up for glee club rehearsal. I ended up calling my parents right away and they came home from their honeymoon early."

"When you found Kurt, what was it that you found? And what was your gut-level reaction?"

"When I found Kurt, it was sickening. I felt ready to throw up the minute that I saw what I saw. I-I was rendered speechless. And I don't get rendered speechless that often. I mean I was horrified and scared of what I had witnessed before me. I mean when I saw Kurt half-naked, his clothes a wreck, bruised, bloody and weakened and being kicked in the chest I was horrified. I wanted to scream. More than anything in that moment I wanted to scream," Finn said.

"Thank you, Finn. Nothing further."

Callahan then rose, but Finn wanted to slap that little smirk right off his face.

"Would you say that its a possibility Kurt set this whole thing up for attention?" Callahan asked.

Finn shook his head. "No. That's not a possibility."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. I'm really sure."

"Do you love your stepbrother?"

"Yes," Finn said, not even needing to think twice about it.

"Would you do anything for him?"

"Yes," Finn said.

"Does that include lying for him to cover for him?"

"Why would I lie about something like that?" Finn asked.

"Just out of curiosity," Callahan said.

"Out of curiosity for what?"

"Did you possibly help set this up?"

"No."

"What was your relationship with the prosecution before your parents got married?"

"It was rocky," Finn said.

"What do you mean by rocky?"

"Well . . . . at first things were awkward, but then I narrowed down that he had apparent feelings for me," Finn admitted. "And one day when we came home, he completely redid the room we were meant to share, but I wasn't at all comfortable due to the lack of privacy it had, and when I asked him to tone it down, we got into a huge fight and I lost my temper and I . . . ."

"And you what?"

"I . . . . I . . . . um . . . . I called one of the lamps faggy," Finn stammered.

Callahan seemed satisfied with himself. "No further questions."

Mike's father then stood up from his seat. "Your Honor, I request a ten minute recess?"

"I'll allow it," the judge said. Finn got up from the stand and sat back in his seat, looking embarrassed. Mike's father then turned around, a glare painted on his face.

"Unbelievable! Callahan is making me look like an ass up there!" he growled.

"Look, you can only do everything you can, Dad," Mike said.

"Look, Mr. Chang, how long do you think this will last?" Quinn asked.

"It'll probably last to about four days. We cannot be here all night. Look, when ten o'clock comes, Kurt, you are going home to get your rest. We cannot afford a potential disaster striking," Mike's father insisted. "Okay, so as a result you will have to go up there and give an alibi."

"And what? Go up on the stand and be harassed by that snake? No thank you!" Kurt said.

"Look, Kurt, Callahan is an ass, alright?" Mike Sr. said. "He's a scum on the Earth and can honestly be the dirt on my shoes. I don't care if we need to be here all year. We'll win."

Kurt nodded, though he was having doubts.

Legally Blonde weekend was a success. We got a big crowd and almost had a standing ovation opening night. However, one of my cast mates, Ahmad, lost his best friend in a car accident, so keep him in your prayers, please. He can really use some peace right now.
