Chapter 19 physical evidence
Ali's pov
I walked into the room clutching Emily's hand tightly. A detective and 2 other ladies which I presume are nurses stood there looking at me. "Alison my name is lutenit tanner, I am here to help you today. I understand this maybe be slightly uncomfortable for you but I want you to know we will try our best to get this done as quickly as possible for you." "Emily since you requested to be in here I presume you are comfortable with seeing this?" I looked at Em and she nodded, "yes mam." "Okay then Alison I need you too remove all clothing that covers any form of physical evidence." "I will give you two a minute when your done place this robe on and me and the two nurses will come back in." The door closed and it was then that I started to have second thoughts again. I started rambling and pacing the room. Em, I can't do this I'm in over my head here what was I thinking? What are they going to do next stair at me? God I hate this.

I was left alone in the room with Ali and she began pacing the room, something I know she does when she's nervous. When I heard her start to doubt herself I new I had to do something. I walked over closing the distance between us and held her hands in mine. Hey babe look at me, please don't doubt yourself okay, you can do this I'm right here with you. She didn't say anything but its not like I gave her any chance to because I didn't hesitate to pull her in for a kiss. this kiss was slightly more forceful then usual but I new she needed it. When we pulled apart for air I watched as she blushed and I felt her relax in my arms. "What was that for?" she questioned me and I smirked. I was hoping it would help you relax and it looks like it did. Ali laughed, "God I wish you would kiss me like that more often" she says and I eagerly feel her attaches her lips back on mine. This time she took the lead, and I felt her tongue brush my bottom lip asking for access to explore my mouth. I let go of her hands and placed mine on her hips, feeling her arms moved to hold the back of my neck, the kiss slowing down. I gently griped the hem of my hoddie and the singlet she was wearing and pulled it up and over her head leaving her in her bra. She went to look away but I didn't let her. Don't look away babe, at lest not with me okay? You're so beautiful I say as my hands brushes her stomach. I watched her smile before tightening my grip on her and pulling her into a hug. I placed a kiss to the side of her neck before watching her undoing her bra and biting my lip to suppress the erg. I then walked over to the chair where the robe was hanging, and she removed her leggings leaving her in just her underwear before I helped her into it. when she turned around I placed a quick kiss on her forehead before whispering you can do this and walking over to the door to let them back in.

The three of them re entered the room and one of the nurses asked me to remove the robe. When I did one of them examined the marks, while the other wrote down some note. It was so uncomfortable knowing that all eyes in this room were on me but I tried my best to not let it get to me, making sure to keep my eyes on Em's. "Okay Alison I'd like you to lie down for me on this table we are going to take a quick CT scan to see if any of the bruises have caused any internal damage." I lay down, squinting my eyes from the bright lights above me. It was done with in five minutes and I was more then relieved when a nurse said I could get dressed. I went behind the Curtin, and could hear the nurses talking to tanner on the other side so when I came back out I sat down next to Emily and let them explain what they had to say. Tanner looked at me, "well Alison the good news is that we have a strong amount of physical evidence which we can use for the case, we will use some of the picture from your scan." 'However the scan has shown that the bruises on your right rib were server and have causing a fracture." "Have you been in any pain lately?" I looked at Emily, I could tell she wanted me to be honest. Um a little at night I guess but mainly only if I touch it. It was the nurses turn to speck. "It seams to be healing just fine by its self but I will give you some medication to help, it should be fully healed in two week." I nodded to show I understood not in the mood to talk. "You girls are free to go. Veronica is waiting outside to take you home, thank you for coming in." I pretty much sprinted to the door as soon as the words left her mouth, happy to be out of there. On the way home Veronica filled us in.
"Alison, your father is going to be charged with child abuse and will be arrested first thing tomorrow." I stiffened a little when she said that but let her continue "I know that you might want to see your mother or your brother once his gone but if you do I am going to have to ask to come with you." It was silent for a bit until I found my voice, no I don't want to see them, I don't think I... can, not until the court day. Veronica nodded. "Okay well the date has been set for next week, to give your dad a chance to get himself a lawyer." "I'm very proud of you Alison for going through this today, you're lucky to have Emily and Pam to take care of you." I smiled yeah I am I say while locking eyes with em. "If you have anymore questioned at all fell free to give me a call, other wise I will be here next week to take you and Emily to the court." "Your welcome to wear whatever you like, and all you have to do is answer a few question." I sighed… do I have to see him? 'Yes honey he will be in the court room, but he will have two police guards with him and handcuffs so you will be safe okay." "He can not hurt you and you don't have to look at him." The car pulled into Emily's drive way and I hoped out with her thanking veronica for everything she has done, before waving goodbye when she left. We walked inside and up to Em's room and I immediately lay down on her bed closing my eyes exhausted from today. I felt Emily lie down next to me and her Arms wrapped around my waist. The smell of her perfume made me smile and I turned to face her placing a few kisses on her lips. I love you I whisper and I can feel her smile when she here's it. I close my eyes again burying my face in the side of her neck content with falling asleep in my girl's arms. The last words I hear before drifting off are "I love you too!"
