- first before I start the chapter I want to say I know nothing about courts so this chapter may be really shit.
Maddys pov
It's been two weeks since the twins were born, 12 days since Brooklyn died and 12 days since I started hearing mums voice and brooklyns crying. in another two weeks then I'll be getting my exam results aswell.
But today I'm in court to find out how long I'm in here for, I'm so nurves. I got out off my bed and picked my crying daughter up "morning baby girl" I say to my little girl as I sit down and begin to breast feed her.
I leave my cell and head into the unit with my daughter. I go over to the kettle and make myself a cuppa while holding my daughter. I felt like I knew what today's outcome was going to be. Mackenzie was crying in my arms and she wouldn't stop, I guess
she could sense my nurves and sense that I am on edge.
I know I said a few weeks ago that I was going to give her up by I don't think I could now. Mackenzie is my BabyGirl and she needs me to protect her.
I must have been awake with kenzie for about half an hour when Franky walks out her cell "morning Maddy" she says looking over to me and I fake a smile over to her "I know your scared for today, you don't have to fake with me"Franky comes and sits next
to me on the sofa in the unit and I turn to her still with Kenzie in my arms.
"Maddy, whatever happens our still going to have me and kenzie on your side." Franky says and I rest my head in her shoulder "I know I deserve whatever happens today because i did kill mum and kenzies dad, I just don't know if I'll be able to cope with
myself and Mackenzie." I start with a shakily voice "Mackenzie needs me to protect her unlike I did with Brooklyn" I say truthfully
"Right listen to me Maddy, you did everything you could to protect Brooklyn and your doing the same with Mackenzie. Your an amazing mum and I knowing yourll be able to take care to both yourself and Mackenzie in here" Franky tells me sturnly and I just
looked at her blankly.
I didn't know what to say or what to do but luckily Mackenzie began to cry so I got out of responding to my sister. I stood up and went into my cell to change Kenzie and myself. I didn't really want to bring Mackenzie to court with me so Franky offered
to look after.
I changed Mackenzies nappy before dressing her into a cream baby-grow and a cute pink skirt. I soon dressed myself into a black skirt with a white blouse and a black blazer and obviously my shoes which were just a pair of black flat shoes I put my hair
into a high go ponytail before leaving my cell with my daughter.
"You'll be fine today" I get reassured by almost Evreyone in the unit but something told me that things weren't going to go well. "Mackenzie shouldn't need feeding but her bottle is in the fridge, nappys are in my cell with spare clothes if needed" I
say trying to avoid thinking about today.
I carried Mackenzie Down to breakfast and I only had a slice of toast because trust me I should never eat when I'm nerves. "Hey where's that smile I love of yours" my sister asks me poking my sides and I plaster it into my face "better" I say cheekily
Franky laughs at me slightly and nods. Mackenzie was doing her cheeky sweet smile in my arms and I couldn't help but smile at her she ment the world to me and everything she did is perfect.
Franky took Mackenzie from me when I had to leave and wished me luck but luck never works. I was lead to the exit before being cuffed and put in the back of a van. None knew I was still harming myself so they didn't know about the scars on my wrist which
were irritated by the cuffs
we soon pull up at the court and I was excorted to the room we were in. I was excorted inside and stood infront off the judge. Evreyone had to rise untill the judge was in "can you confirm your name for us all and your age" the judge asks me so that's
what I do "Maddison Doyle, 18 years old" I say casually "on your file it says that your 17" he responds looking really confused.
I really wanted to laugh but I stopped myself "well you don't stay one age for the rest of your life, I turned 18 two weeks back" I respond as casually as I could and he nods "we are here today to decide the sentence of Miss Doyle" the judge begins "on
the 21st of April 2015 miss Doyle has admitted to brutality murdering Mr John Sigwell before a month later she murdered her own mother Shell Doyle" the judge tells the court room
I was told to sit while people gave evidence. I didn't know why because I've already been found guilty.
It felt like forever for the evidence to be given but we finally on break. The jury we're going to discuss the sentence and I was bricking it.
I was watched and not aloud out off anyone's sight. Soon the judge and jury came back into the court room and I was told to stand "we have came to a decision" they start and pause for a while, I just wanted to shout 'just tell me already' but I knew I
would get in trouble for doing so.
"Maddison Doyle your are sentenced to life in Wentworth correctional center, without parole" the judge tells me and I didn't know what to say at all.
I was soon excorted out off the court and back into the van which drove straight back to Wentworth. I was taken inside and was to do a strip search, gosh I hate these.
I was take Evreything off like told and I hated it. Miss Bennett asked me what the scars I had were but I wasn't going to tell her.
After the search I was excorted to the exercise yard. I walk over to Franky and the girls plastering a fake smile onto my face trying not to think off what happened today "Maddy, how'd it go?" Franky asks me and my fake smile fades
"Life" I say with no emotion what so ever in my voice "life what about parol?" Bea asks me "without parole" I then say once again without any emotion in my voice.
"Maddy I can tell your faking being alright with this" Franky tells me handing my daughter to me. I tried to make out I was fine but Franky can always tell.
After exercise period we had work period and I went to the laundry room and moved the bags and tipped them out while holding my daughter in my left arm.
After work period I went back to the unit and placed Mackenzie down for her nap and sat down on my bed wanting to be alone.
