A/N Last time; Warren was arrested; Kirsty said she wanted a divorce and she and Adam kissed! :) KADAM! Mini-spaz over, ahem... 'GERONIMO' as Matt Smith would say! :) BTW Zoe may be a little OOC here, but anyway. Allons-y…

KirstyPOV
"Now you're gonna get what you deserve!" I said, laughing at Warren. They must've thought I was insane, but the police men took him away.
"I'm so glad you did that today. He's gonna be behind bars for a long while now," Adam told me. He placed his hand under my chin, making me look up to him. I stared into his amazing eyes, which sort of put me in a trance.
Leaning in Adam said, "Everything's alright now. You're safe with me," and that sealed the deal. Our lips met, and for one long moment, I wished it would never end.
Warren had been arrested three hours ago, and we were still waiting for the date of his trial to come through.
After the police took him away, I took Adam to cubicles where I cleaned up his head wound and his leg, which was bleeding due to the fall.
Before that, Adam kissed me, and he told me that we would get through this; no matter how hard it may seem. I knew from then that I would file for a divorce as soon as Warren was charged.
Thankfully, Nita was at her friend, Nicole's, house for the weekend, leaving me to tell her when she came home. She was always a 'Daddy's Girl', but would she see that being divorced was the only way we could make this work.
"Thanks for earlier, Adam," I told him, putting a fresh bandage on his leg.
"What? The Warren thing, or the other thing?" he asked, joking.
"Both," I blushed. "You helped me see sense. Thank you," I smiled.
"You're welcome. Look Kirsty, the kiss. Did that mean anything to you?" he asked, now going a pale shade of red himself.
"Well," I began, "Erm, yes, if you wanted it to mean something," I stammered.
"Do you think that when you and Warren get divorced, you and I could, you know," he suggested.
Smiling I said, "I'd think I'd like that, Adam." I told him, holding his hand. "I'd love that," I said, burying my head into his shoulder.
I can finally see
That you're right there beside me
I am not my own
For I have been made new
Please don't let me go
I desperately need you
I am not my own
For I have been made new
Please don't let me go
I desperately need you
"Kirsty," said Zoe as she popped her head around the curtain. "Well, what was all that about?" she asked, hands on her hips.
"Can we go somewhere more private?" I asked and she led me to a vacant room which we all used at a temporary staffroom.
"So, that with your husband and the police, what was going on? Kirsty?" she asked, sighing.
Sitting on the raggedy sofa, I began telling her how it started.
"Just over thirteen years ago, just after my daughter, Nita, was born, Warren started abusing me.
"Recently he claimed to have been diagnosed with ME, and he blamed the highs and lows on that. Every sodding night, Zoe. I was late every morning because he continued to threaten me that 'If I wasn't home on time he'd batter me'.
"Adam was the only one I told, because he kept treating my ribs and bruises. He was the only one I could trust," I told her, fighting back the tears.
"Oh my God, Kirsty. If I'd have known, I... I'd-" she stuttered, but I stopped her.
"It's over now, he's in jail. I don't have to worry anymore," I said, confidently.
"You need to tell the court this at his trial, would you like me to ask Adam if I can come too?"
"If you wouldn't mind. I want as many people possible to try and send him down."
AdamPOV
I'd just asked Kirsty if she wanted to make a fresh start after she'd divorced Warren. I hope that I can support her in any way possible to try and get through this.
"Hey," Kirsty said, back from her talk with Zoe. "Are you OK now?"
"Still sore, but content," I told her. She sat down on the trolley and said,
"At Warren's trial, could you give a statement? I've asked Zoe to give one, and I'm pretty sure Nita'll give one as well. But-" she started, but I silenced her by putting a finger to her lips.
"Calm down, we're gonna get through this. Do you want me to come around yours tonight, Nita's at her mate's right?" I grinned.
"Sure, I hate being alone at home. It makes the house feel huge," she drifted off. I put my arm around her and we sat together for a few minutes. "Get some rest, alright?" she asked, still being professional.
"Sure," I sulked, hating having nothing to do. "Can you get me my book out of the staffroom?" I asked, giving her the 'puppy eyed' look.
"Fine," she laughed.
Pulling the curtain shut, she winked at me, and walked away. Waiting for her to find it, I tilted my head back and looked up at the ceiling.
"Got it," she announced, and I looked back down.
"C. S. Lewis, amazing. Truly genius," she told me, looking at the book, turning it over and reading the blurb. "Sorry, I haven't read this one," she chuckled, chucking me the book.
I caught it with one hand and smiled as she left. The Horse and His Boy – The Chronicles of Narnia, was the book I was reading and was about a talking horse from the land of Narnia, who helps a boy who's going to be sold for slavery. It's quite a good book, though this is the fourth time I've read it...
Flicking through the pages I looked at the pictures, how the horse and the boy make such a good team, overcoming any obstacles together. Like best friends; I and Kirsty would help each other through any difficult times like those.
"The highlight of my day is working with you," she told me almost a year ago. I'd wondered what she meant back then, but now I understand the pain and suffering that she had to go through.
If only she'd left him when I told her to, this may've been avoided. But nothing ever works like that.
Flashback ~~~
"A man walks into the hospital with a cucumber up his nose and carrots sticking out of his ears. 'What's wrong with me Doctor?' he asked," she began telling me an awful joke.
"The doctor said, 'You're not eating properly'," I finished it for her.
"Sorry," she said, repeating the last line of the joke under her breath, smirking.
"You should be; that was awful!" I joked.
End Flashback ~~~
Laughing at the thought that passed my mind, I put the book down and began to dream sweetly.
A/N sorry about the crappy ending, and please leave any reviews, I've had none for weeks now, :(
Now that's over, when I next post it'll be about Warren's trial for sure, sorry it wasn't this chapter... I loved the little flashback at the end, it was from Truth Will Out where Warren and Nita are in a car crash.
Thanks for reading, and happy Friday!
