Chapter 51

Gabriella

"You need to take a deep breath Gabriella. You can't make it so obvious that you're nervous or they might capitalise on that." Micheal gave me advice after noticing how nervous and scared I looked. I couldn't even control my breathing properly and I'm pretty sure my entire face looked like it was on fire.

He shouldn't really blame me though for being this way cause never I have ever imagined myself actually being in front of a judge especially not as the accused and the fact that I'm sitting here right at this moment with so many eyes watching me and staring at me with judgemental glares and irritated expressions, it definitely discouraged every fibre of my being and made me feel completely uncomfortable and on edge.

"I'm trying Micheal. I really am. It's just that all of this is freaking me out and I can't help myself right now." I mutter to him and he gently gives my hands a small squeeze.
