Heaven waits for no angels

AddiLynn's P.O.V
*One month after*
"And then what happened Ms. Chapman? The dense lawyer questioned me, making me feel as if it had been my fault all these years. It was rape or be killed, it's never a kill or be killed situation, even then, you're still dying, they kill your body of mind.

"And then he got the salt, poured it all over me. Into my cuts and my other eye, blinding me. I couldn't see at all, I tried kicking but eventually I just gave up, and that's when he raped me. " I protested.

"Now, I know this case is strictly for this passed year's assault, but if this is rape, and it has happened all your life as you say, why didn't you tell anyone or reach out for help Ms. Chapman? " Offended, I cringed as my lawyer screamed, "Objection!"

"Over ruled." The judge said looking at me, "answer the question Ms. Chapman." I sighed and looked over at Andy and spoke.

"Because I was born into a society where the victim gets the blame. Where society teaches how to not get raped, instead do not rape. I know I would be blamed, I knew no one would believe me. Eventually, I did tell my parents and they proved it. "
The man looked shocked to hear this, "And what did they say to that?" I took a deep breath, reminding myself that I was okay. "I didn't tell them about Dallas at first, because the assault had happened first with my now, stepbrother. Then he invited Dallas in on it, and that's how I got here. She isn't seem to care, because he was my stepbrother. In fact, she ended up using it against my stepfather when they fought. Already breaking my trust with telling him, and then used it against him like she was proud to have it happen to give her a reason to fight more, I found out she had told my older sister too."

"How did you figure that out?" He asked again, I felt like I was the criminal. "He was brought up in the conversation one day, and I mentioned I hated him, and she flat out said,

That's because you think he touched you."

I was pouring my heart out, my whole entire story out in front of hundreds of people, through televisions screens and people sitting in the same room as me.

"If you could go back in time and tell someone, tell your parents, would you?" The lawyer had asked his final question. "No, because then I would have been beaten for lying."

The court room got quiet, I looked up at Andy, Ashley, CC, and Jake, who had been supporting me all the way through. Andy mouthed the words "You're okay" as my memories fell out of my eyes and on to my cheeks. "No further questions." The lawyer had said.

We had a short recess and came back in, after sixteen days if intense court, a verdict was made. "Ms. AddiLynn Chapman, do you have any lady words you would like to share with the people?" The judge had asked me, I nodded my head yes. If I was broadcasting my story to the world, I was telling it all.

"You took something from me I can never get back. My virginity, my self pride, faith that my life was actually going somewhere. I wanted people to remember my name, for doing what I loved and making my own legacy, not for being here in this courtroom. There was a time in my life, that I didn't want to have sex until marriage. But you have taken that from me. You tok away my trust for any make that I meet, flinching at the sight of them extending their hands to me. I can't have a conversation without my heart racing or fear rising with another male. I hope you get what you deserve with the last, tiny piece of hope you left me, hanging on like a damaged thread. But I know it won't happen, and I will never get justice for all the pain and suffering you had put me through.

For the people who I tried to reach out to over the years and get help, that just didn't care or called me a liar, I'm here and my story is real. I hope that Dallas is proud of what he put me through, because he created a masterpiece. For all you men and woman out there with children, regardless of age and gender, teach them how to shoot because a restraining order is just a piece of paper. Thank you."

I finished and couldn't help but be proud of myself, I never thought I could do this. "Have you found a verdict?" The judge asked. "We have your honor, we find the defendant, Dallas Kale Cameron, guilty of all charges. He will be sentenced to two years of prison, with no chance of probation. Lastly, a restraining order held against him, for AddiLynn Chapman, and any husband or children she may have in the future."

My heart sank, a life time of pain and suffering and they call two years of prison justice?
