Rescue me || Caleb Finn

58. Caleb - Trail (Korra's stand)

After talking to the Detective for two hours. I finally got my phone back. They took the photos I had of Korra from when we first met back in April to use them as evidence. Once we all got back to Korra's we sat in the dining room in awkward silence.

"I'm assuming I put myself into this," I said breaking the ice.

"Yeah, you did." Korra said. She shakes her head side to side, "What do we do?"

"As much as it doesn't sound like a good idea. I suggest we act like it's never happening, life being the way it was before that phone call. Obviously it's putting weight on our shoulders we don't want." Jake had a point. It felt like everything was tumbling down. Yet, at the same time it felt like the world fell into place. Korra was hopefully going to get justice with Zach. About to have my baby soon in less than four more months here soon. I was dating the girl I'm in love with. I had a positive fanbase.

Became really good friends with Jake. Got along with Korra's parents well. When I realized Korra is gonna have to visit my family during the holidays.

"Look, I know it sounds hard. Korra, you have to face Zach, and say exactly what he did to you. Caleb and I will be here every step of the way," Jake explains. I hold Korra's hands. She looks at the both of us, tears slowly running down her cheeks.

"You mean that?" She asked, her voice soft. I knew she was frightened.  Upset and unprepared. But, she needed to... It was the best for her. For us.

"Korra, I know you have it in you. You're a survivor. You need to speak about what happened at the trail. Caleb and I will be there as well. I promise you that," Jake explains to Korra. Being direct and honest to her. She needed to hear it.

"Langford, I've always been here for you, even now," I say to her. She started crying and all we did was comfort her. All for one, and one for all.

Two Weeks Later.

As we wait anxiously for the court trail to start. Korra rubs her stomach to keep calm. But while we wait, I'm gonna explain what happened.

After we had that serious talk about the trail. Korra eventually calmed down a bit. Korra said she wanted a nap so she took one. Otherwise we acted like the court day was never happening. Jake and I made her super busy. Also the baby is perfectly healthy. We can't wait to find out what the gender is.

"Okay, it's time. Remember, they're going to ask questions you aren't prepared for. Most of the questions are gonna involve what the detective asked you. You got this, Korra," Korra's Lawyer told her as we began walking into the court room. The victim looked frightened for her life. Looking around consistently. She had blonde highlights in her brunette hair, blue eyes, and pinkish half full lips. She was wearing a black dress and her hair was in a French fish tail braid. Her eyes widen she saw me, I knew she knows who I am.

Once the court room got filled up to a point. We sat and waited. Zach walked out with his lawyer. His parents sitting on his side of the court. His Mom nodded and his Dad did too. I didn't know why they were doing that but I let it be. Korra looked away after they did that.

"We're right here," I whispered to Korra. I kissed her forehead and slowly pulled her close. She hugged me back as well only her grip was tighter. I knew she wasn't ready but I knew she was courageous.

"Korra Langford, take the stand." She gets up and walks to the stand. Holding a bible and everything. Eventually she sits down and by the look she gave me. I knew she was afraid.

"Korra, when did you first meet Mr. Harris?" The lawyer said to her.

"Our 10th grade year. We we're only fifteen," she says casually. Staring straight at the lawyer speaking.
