Chapter - 12 Carter and Abby-Thoughts
Carter took a sip of the coffee his Gamma had made for him. That day had been a bad day, he had been another witness at Dave's trial. Ivy had a good lawyer, was the least to say. The lawyer had made everything he said mean something other than it was meant to. Dave hadn't looked so well during the trial, looked as if he was falling apart. Probably was, Carter knew that if he was going through what Dave was that he would be falling apart too. He didn't believe that Dave would actually hurt his son on propose, he had seen how Dave was about child abuse. Dave would have to of been pretty damn drunk… or high, or both, he didn't even think Dave hit his own kid even if he was drunk or high…
~*~ Abby
She couldn't figure out why she had been a key witness at Dave's trial, she didn't know Dave that well, it was probably just a way to make Dave look worse. The damn lawyer was a Dick-head, always twisting her words around or cutting her off. She didn't know if Dave actually hit his son or not, but hell that was no reason for the lawyer twist everything to mean what he wanted to mean.
She could still remember how he had looked during the trial, he looked like he hadn't gotten sleep in awhile. Like he was dying, he was tired looking like he was being pulled in too many ways… Even though she didn't know him to well, she did know him and she was worried about Dave, sure he could be an ass, but not even an ass deserved this. Unless he actually did do what Ivy said he did.
She remembered his face when Ivy brought Michael into the court room, it was a look of longing. And then she saw him look at Ivy, it was hatred, anger, and hut all rolled into one. His emotions were probably killing him right now, and all through the trial, Dave wasn't paying attention to what was said, he was looking at his son.
~*~ Flash Back
Abby looked over at Dave from the stand, he was resting his head on his arm and looking over to the other table, she could tell he was looking at Michael. The kid looked a lot like Dave, except for the blond hair and the pale skin, it was almost a younger picture of Dave. She saw Dave's face when he momentarily stopped staring at his son because his own lawyer tapped him on the shoulder to say something to him. He looked so sad, like he wanted to cry.
~*~ End of Flash back.
She sighed, she was going to call him, see if he was all right… She didn't believe the charges that were put against him. And she knew that she didn't want the kid to be put with his mother, any bitch that brought their child to his father's trial couldn't be trusted with a child…
Okay longer than the last one, but I'm writing… slowly… I've got to start studying for finals and I'm taking an extra class over NovaNet, so I don't have to take it next year… World history… it is a bitch… The next chapter will be some more thoughts, Luka, Green, and Elizabeth, then I might have one with Dave's but probably not, it will probably be the verdict, if not he Verdict will be next…
