The Day Of The Verdict
The day had finally come. Carla was anywhere but on planet earth. As she drew back the curtains to reveal a day with weather that portrayed her exact mood. She trembled with fear as Michelle gently touched her on the shoulders, startling her out of her skin. She didn't have time to say anything before the doorbell rang. It was peter. "I'll meet you in the car!" Michelle spoke softly and left the flat.
"come here baby." Peter spoke, holding out his arms, just waiting to grab Carla. She leaped towards him knocking him slightly off balance but he loved having her in his arms.
"hey, hey! It's gonna be alright" he said softly as he ran his fingers gently through her soft, silky hair. To him she was perfection. There was nobody in the universe that compared to her.
Peter was her knight in shining armour and she never felt as safe as she did when she was in his arms. He hated seeing her like this and wanted this day to be over as much as she did. He rested his hands on her face and wiped away the tears with his thumbs. "don't cry Carla. You have nothing to worry about and you definitely have nothing to be ashamed of." They both adored each other and even though many people had said those exact words to her it had never meant as much as when he had said them.
She glanced into his eyes trying to hold back the floods of tears that were building up. She wanted to show him there was still hope but deep down they both knew there wasn't much chance of the result they wanted.
Carla grasped peter's hands and sensed he was scared. "oh babe, what have I done? You don't deserve to have to put up with this, or me. It's not fair!" "look at me, I have said this before and I shall say it again. There is nobody else on this planet I want to be with and I know your innocent and that's all that matters."
He leant over and let his mouth touch her soft lips, trying to show her how much he cared for her and he wanted her to know for certain how much she meant to him. . .
