Sooo sorry for the long wait.I had alot of things to take care of. But anyway here it is!

3 weeks later.

"Taylor, remember you don't have to do this, I mean face him."Chad reassured his girlfriend as he wrapped his arms around her comfortingly. Taylor shook her head.

"No I have to do this.People need to know what happened.Don't worry.There's nothing that he can do to me anymore."Taylor reassured her worried boyfriend. It had been three weeks since Devin's arrest and surprisingly his trial started right away.Immediately after his arrest Chad urged Taylor to tell her other family.She had decided to tell her closest family member.However it was the hardest thing to do and also didn't work because it was Aunt Bri, Devin's own mother.In the love and belief that her perfect son would not have done anything wrong she denied it. Well I guess she'll have to see in court.Taylor thought as she was about ready to go inside.After the misfortune of her Aunt, Taylor decided to tell her Aunt from her father's side, Aunt Vicky.After minutes of explaining, Tay's Aunt was on a plane and rushing Taylor into her arms where both cried the whole night.Taylor had been staying with her this whole time waiting for this day.And now it was here.

"But are you absolutely sure?"

"Yes.I am."Taylor said, breaking apart from the hug."I'm nervous but i'm ready."

"Just remember, whatever happens, you'll never see him again.I'll make sure of it."Taylor smiled and nodded."Sweety, you ready?"Aunt Vicky asked walking up to the pair.

"Yeah i'm ready."

"Okay let's go."Aunt Vicky lead Taylor, holding hands with Chad into the court room.After impatiently waiting Taylor first laid eyes on Devin as he was pushed into the court room.From there, he gave her such a terrifying look, she honestly believed he could stare a hole into her head and Taylor was instantly frightened.But that wouldn't, stop her.Fear's never gonna overcome what's right.Taylor reminded herself.

10minutes later.

"Ms.Mc.Kessie, how long have you been living with the defendant?"

"About three months."

"Was there alcohol or drugs anywhere in that house during the three months present?"

"Yes there were."Taylor answered now looking at the scowling face of Devin and bitter face of his mother.I wish she would see.

"Was this often?"

"Yes. Usually once a week or so."

"Thank you.Now would you tell me how often you were abused."Taylor took a deep breath.

"Almost everyday.He hit me, beat me, name it."Taylor heard Devin angrily fig it.

"Your honor we don't have evidence for any of this."The defense attorney stated.Are you crazy?

"You want proof?Here's proof."Taylor rolled up her sleeve where Devin had squeezed it.It was clearly bruised.This'll shut you up asshole!

10minutes later

"Mr.Jones.The prosecutor's statement about the amount of time you have lived with Ms.Mckessie is true correct?"

"Yes."

"Would you describe what occurred in those three months?"

"Nothing."What! you son of a bitch tell the truth.

"I went to work, she went to school.The usual.And Taylor is very adventurous.That's exactly where that mark she showed you came from."

"What?No it's not it from--"Taylor was pulled down and hushed by her lawyer.You wouldn't win like that.However, Devin wasn't going to win.Not now, not ever.And her lawyer proved exactly that.

"Oh god Tay imma need me an aspirin after this."Aunt Vicky stated fanning herself.Taylor laughed.They had indeed won the court case and Devin was sentenced to 45 years.Personally Taylor thought he deserved more but for now she would be content. "Don't worry i'll find you won."

"You wicked child!I hope you rot in hell!"Aunt Bri said storming down the hall."Aunt Bri please---"

"Devin doesn't deserve this!"

"Doesn't deserve this!"Aunt Vicky spoke up.She had already hated Aunt Bri and this fueled her fire."Your horrible son beat, abused and emotionally injured my niece and you expect us to feel sorry for your son?I hope he rots in jail!"Aunt Bri's jaw dropped.

"How dare you!"

"How dare you insult Taylor right now you ignorant, stupid bitch!"This time Taylor's jaw dropped.She never head her aunt curse like that, and she had had enough.

"Aunt Vicky!Please I just wanna go home."Realizing that Taylor really needed to get out of the courtroom Aunt Vicky stopped."Okay let's go."Both turned away from Aunt Bri and exited the courthouse.

"Tay! Wait!"Taylor turned around to see Chad running up to both of them.Taylor faked a smile which he noticed as he wrapped his arms around her."You okay?"

"Honestly no i'm not.I just wanna go home and clear my head from this mess."

"Well, at least I didn't have to force that out of you."Chad stated.Taylor laughed."Yeah I guess so."After saying their goodbye's Taylor drove to her house and pondered on.What she knew, absolutely knew was that Devin was in jail.And for the first time in a long while, she could relax.
