Disclaimer: I don't own anyone famous. I do own Jenna, Riley,
Michael, James, and Kevin.
A/N: Thanks for the reviews to the last chapter. Heather, Kevin does get his just not in the way you think. Hope you guys like this chapter, I'm not really sure what all happens in a trial, so I've kinda made up some stuff probably.
Chapter 12
Confessions and a Trial
"I realized what I want." I whispered, looking into his eyes.
"What do you want?" He asked, his voice still husky from sleep.
"This." I said, as I pressed my lips against his. I know I shocked Randy when I first kissed him, hell I even surprised myself. When I came up here, I was just wanting to talk, but when he answered the door the way he did, something told me to kiss him. Randy finally pulled away after a couple of minutes, and looked me in the eye.
"Jenna, are you sure about this? I don't want you doing something you're not comfortable with." Randy said, keeping his arms around my waist.
"Can we sit down and talk?" I asked.
"Yeah, come on in." He said, stepping aside to let me through.
"I did alot of thinking like I said, and I realized that if I'm not willing to take a chance, I could miss out on being truly happy for the first time, in a long time." I said, our eyes never leaving each other.
"Jenna, I promise you, that I will never hurt you. I wasn't lying or just trying to get to you last week when I told you I love you. I meant it then, and I mean it now." Randy said, placing a small kiss on my lips.
"I still want to take this slow, I know you would never hurt me, but there's still a small part of me that needs to learn to trust again." I said, breaking the kiss this time.
"Jenna, I'll be there to help you through all your problems." Randy said, as someone started knocking on the door. "Damn it. I swear if it's Dave again, I'm going to kick his ass." Randy grumbled, as he went to answer the door.
"Randy my man." I heard Ric say, as he walked into the room with Paul.
"Sure Ric, you guys can come in." Randy said, sarcastically.
"Hey guys. What are you doing here?" I asked, as Paul and Ric sat at the table.
"We ran into Dave and Riley down at the pool, and they said you were up here, and we wanted to check on you." Paul said.
"Well, I'm fine. Nervous as hell about the trial, but it's nothing I can't deal with." I said, looking them in the eye.
"You know we'll be there to support you" Ric said, giving me a small smile.
"Thanks. I just wish I didn't have to testify against him. I don't think I'll be able to stand having to look at him from the witness stand." I said, not knowing how I would deal with everything that would be going on tomorrow.
"You'll be fine dollface. He'll get what he deserves." Ric said, trying to be optimistic.
"Yeah, I know. I talked to the prosecutor, and he said that if Kevin is found guilty of all the things he's being charged with, he could be in prison for 140 years." I said, the last part making me smile a bit.
"You just keep that smile on your face. When you get up on that stand, you look out at him, and you give him your bitchy Evolution look." Paul said, with a chuckle.
"Okay, I'll do that." I said, laughing at Paul.
~ ~ ~ ~
When Randy, Dave, Riley, and I arrived at the courthouse, I was starting to feel the nerves kick in again. We had been there for about 10 minutes, when Bob and Elaine Orton walked in, with Becky right behind them.
"Mom, Dad. What are you guys doing here?" Randy asked, as he hugged both his parents.
"We couldn't let you guys go through this alone." Bob answered, looking back and forth from me and his son.
"I really appreciate you guys being here." I said, as Elaine gave me a hug.
"Sweetie, we wouldn't be anywhere else." She said, as Paul, Ric, Stephanie, and Lisa Marie walked in.
"Hey Lisa. Can I talk to you for a second?" I asked, wanting to finally thank her for finding John.
"Sure." She replied, as we walked away from the others.
"Lisa, I know I haven't said thank you yet, but I want to now. You will never know how grateful Riley and I were to see you that night. You saved us from possibly being killed, when you went to find John. So I just wanted to say thank you." I said, as we both had tears in our eyes by this point.
"I didn't do anything, anyone else wouldn't do." Lisa replied.
"Yeah, still." I said, as we both hugged, before going back to the others.
"Hey Jenna. Nate wanted me to tell you, if you need him to, he'll come and kick some ass." Becky said, as John and Katie both hugged me.
"Yeah, well I think I've got plenty of ass kickers with me." I said, looking over at Randy, John, and Dave looking like they're innocent. After I said this, the bailiff came out and said court was about ready to start.
~ ~ ~ ~
We had been sitting in the courtroom for a few minutes, when the bailiff brought Kevin in. When Kevin noticed Riley and I sitting there, he gave us a sadistic smile, which only proceeded to piss off Randy and Dave. John, Paul, and Ric didn't see it, but when Randy started yelling at him, they stopped talking.
"Don't you dare look at them, you son of a bitch." Randy yelled, jumping up, no doubt to get in Kevin's face.
"Why don't you ask your bitch, how she likes her sex?" Kevin asked, which only succeeded in pissing Randy off even more.
"You fucking bastard." Randy growled, already going after Kevin, before I could try and stop him. Luckily, John and Bob were able to grab him, before he beat the shit out of Kevin.
"Now's not the time son. He'll get what's coming to him." Bob said, pulling Randy back to his seat.
"Randy, come on. He'd be stupid to try and do something with all you guys here." I said, hoping to calm him down.
"Whatever." Randy replied, as he sat down.
~ ~ ~ ~
15 minutes later, after the judge informed the jury and the court what the charges were, the prosecuting attorney, Michael Johnson, was told to call his first witness.
"Your honor, the state would like to call Lisa Marie Varon." Michael announced, as Lisa walked up to the stand.
"Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth." The bailiff asked, Lisa as she got to the stand.
"Yes." Lisa answered, as she sat down.
"Okay, Miss Varon. How do you know Jennifer Taylor and Riley Thompson?" Michael asked.
"I work with Jennifer in World Wrestling Entertainment. I know Riley through Jenna." Lisa said, trying not to look at Kevin.
"Is that how you know the defendant Kevin Green?" Michael asked.
"I knew of him. The only time I ever saw him, was the night of the kidnapping." Lisa explained. After Michael asked her a few more questions, including what she saw that night, he sat back down. Kevin's lawyer got up, with a cocky look on his face.
"So Miss Varon. You say until the night of the alleged kidnapping, you had never seen my client?" He asked, trying to twist Lisa's words around.
"Yes, that's correct." Lisa answered, getting pissed off with this guy.
"So how did you know it was Kevin, if you had never seen him?" He asked, I was starting to think Kevin may get off.
"When I found John and told him that Jenna and Riley were leaving the arena with some guy, he asked what he looked like, and I told him. Then I saw a picture of him from Jenna's purse." Lisa told him, satisfied with her answer.
"No further questions your honor." James said, walking back to the table.
"You may step down." The judge told Lisa. When she got back to her seat he spoke again. "Council, you may call your next witness." The judge finished.
"Thank you. Your honor, the state wishes to call Randy Orton." Michael said, as Randy gave my hand a squeeze before standing up. After being sworn in, Michael started with the questions. "Mr. Orton, how long have you known Jennifer Taylor and Riley Thompson?" Michael asked, walking toward the stand.
"I worked with Jennifer in Ohio Valley Wrestling, in Louisville, then we met back up in WWE in January." Randy said, trying very hard to control his temper, as he looked over at Kevin.
"What was your relationship with Ms. Taylor and Ms. Thompson like in Louisville?" Michael asked. I could only hope that Randy wouldn't mention the first incident.
"Well we were pretty good friends, she was alot closer to John than any of the other guys, but we would have fun hanging out." Randy said, looking over and giving me a small smile. After a few more questions from Michael, James got up with his cross examination.
"So Mr. Orton, you say that you were pretty good friends with Jennifer and Riley while you were in Louisville correct?" James asked.
"Yes." Randy replied, knowing somehow his words were going to be twisted.
"Well, what caused the big fight between you?" He asked, knowing he'd have Randy right where he wanted him.
"Well if you're referring to the fight that happened a few years ago, John, the guy she was managing at the time, and I had a match that she was supposed to interfere in, and it didn't go the way it was supposed to." Randy said, getting aggravated with his questions.
"What is your relationship with Ms. Taylor and Ms. Thompson now?" James asked.
"Well, I'm friends with both of them." Randy answered.
"They're both living with you, is that correct?"
"Yes they are." Randy growled out.
"Nothing is going on between you and either Jennifer or Riley?" The slimeball asked. 'What the fuck difference does it make to him.' I thought as Randy answered.
"Jenna and I have went out a couple of times." Randy said, ready to blow his top any minute.
"Has there been any type of sexual relationship between the two of you?" The asshole asked. Thankfully, Michael decided to try and end this line of questioning.
"Objection! Your honor, this line of questioning is unacceptable." Michael shouted.
"Sustained. Council, I suggest you either find a new question, or let this witness go." The judge said, not looking to happy. After apologizing to the judge, he let Randy sit down, as the judge called for a 10 minute recess.
~ ~ ~ ~
"What the hell was he trying to point out in there? Big fuckin' deal if Riley and I share an apartment with Randy. Who really cares if Randy and I have even gone out a couple of times." I yelled/cried, as Ric tried to calm me down.
"Dollface, come take a walk with me." He said, as he led me over to a bench. "Sweetheart, you can't let that asshole attorney get to you. You're going to be called to the stand next, and just focus on Randy and all of us out there. You know you've got our support and our love. Bob was right when he told Randy that Kevin will get what's coming to him." Ric said, pulling me into a hug.
"You're right, and I know that. It's just, there's a part of me that is afraid he won't be found guilty, and he'll come after me again." I cried, hoping what I said wouldn't come true.
~ ~ ~ ~
When we got back into the courtroom, Michael called me up to the stand. He asked the basic questions, like how long I knew Kevin and stuff. When he asked about that night, I focused in at Randy and I knew that Ric was right. This is my family now, and they'd support me through anything.
"Well, Riley and I were heading towards the women's locker room. We were talking about this guy she likes and as we turned a corner, we ran into Kevin." I started, as I could feel the tears coming to my eyes. As I continued to tell the court what happened, the tears started falling. Michael had me explain in detail, what happened when Kevin had knocked Riley out, and then raped me. This is the first time I've ever explained or talked about what happened that night, except for what I had to tell the police. I looked out and saw Riley, Katie, Becky, Lisa, Steph, and Mrs. Orton crying, and I think the guys were almost crying too. After I finished, the judge asked if I needed a break, but I told him no. I didn't know if I would be able to get back on that stand if I left. I knew when that asshole of a lawyer Kevin has got up, it wouldn't be a pretty thing.
"Ms. Taylor, you say that my client stalked you. Do you have anything that backs this claim up?" He asked, leaning over the witness stand, a little more than I was comfortable with.
"Yes. He left a note on my luggage when we were in New York City for Wrestlemania in March." I said, knowing that letter had been submitted as evidence.
"Well if you knew he was stalking you, why were you walking around by yourself?" He asked, like he thought I wanted to be kidnapped.
"I didn't think he could get backstage, but he was dressed as an arena security guard." I answered. After badgering me some more, and a few objections from Michael, when James tried insinuating I accused Kevin of raping me, so Randy wouldn't think I cheated on him, he allowed me to sit back down. Then both lawyers started their closing arguments, and we were told that we'd be notified when the jury reached a verdict.
~ ~ ~ ~
It was about two hours after both lawyers gave their closing remarks, that the jury reached their verdict. I held both Randy and John's hands while the foreman read the verdicts. "On two counts of aggravated stalking, we the jury find the defendant Kevin Scott Green, guilty. On one count of attempted rape, we the jury find the defendant Kevin Scott Green, guilty. On one count of aggravated sexual assault, we the jury find the defendant Kevin Scott Green, guilty. On one count of aggravated manslaughter, we the jury find the defendant Kevin Scott Green, guilty. On two counts of aggravated kidnapping, we the jury find the defendant Kevin Scott Green, guilty." The foreman announced, as the courtroom erupted into cheers. I just let the tears fall again, and for the first time they were happy tears. I had a wonderful group of friends, and I was "sort of dating" a wonderful guy. Randy said that once this nightmare was over, he was going to take me out on a real date, for once I was happy about that. I smiled to myself, as I was hugged by everyone there.
A/N2: This isn't the end, I know it kinda sounds like it, but I promise it's not. Although, the major drama is over and done with. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Now all that's left is to review.
