Adopted by Zoella

Slightly better

**GEMMA'S POV**

I had just been discharged from hospital and had to attend court at 5pm. How am I going to have any impact? I'm a child. I sat in the car with Charlotte, mum and dad. We agreed Charlotte could stay over because I was awfully scared to be alone, anywhere. I opened up my Twitter, I had follows, and likes, and people messaging me and people tweeting me. All things like "Are you alive?".
How sad can the world get? It was on the news? Damn. I composed a tweet.

Alive? Yes. Fine? No. Court today -_-

"Hey, are you okay?" Charlotte asked

"Hmm" I nodded

"Gemma, you can tell us?" Mum asked

I knew if I spoke I'd have a breakdown, I just nodded. The car pulled up and we got out of the car. I had a mini travel bag. My leg stung as I moved closer to the door. Dad removed the bag from my hands and allowed me to lean on him. As soon as we got inside, Charlotte reccomended that I showered, I should, I had cuts all over me and was so dirty. My hair, erugh. Charlotte was in the same state as me, she used the other bathroom. I have always taken longer than anybody in the bath / shower so by the time I was ready, Charlotte claimed she had been for an hour.

"You take agggges" Charlotte laughed

"Shut up! I was cleaning" I giggled

"Shh! Theyre filming" Charlotte whispered

"No need to be quiet, cmon" I ran to mum and dad, Charlotte close behind me.

I forgot about my leg, collapsing half way. I didnt cry, just laughed.

"That. Was. Loud." Charlotte giggled

I scrambled to my feet, giggles escaping my mouth. We ran into the front room, to see mum and dad filming a video.

"So, Gemma's kidnapping was on the news" Dad began

I pulled Charlotte in.

"Hey mum" I hugged mum tightly

"This is Gemma and Charlotte, Gemma's friend and her are good as new" Dad smiled

"Mum when do I go to school?" I asked

"You'll be going to the nearest school" Mum smiled

I grinned and Charlotte and I went into my room.

"So, what's your school like?" I asked

"Bitches everywhere, stick with me, and I'm not being rude, but, make no friends" Charlotte laughed

I gestured for her to continue.

"Not a single normal girl, stay with me, guys arent too bad, you'll be smothered seeing as your Zoe's daughter" Charlotte laughed

"Okay, I trust you!" I laughed

"GEMM! CMON! COURT" Mum said loudly, however happily.

"Come on" Charlotte said

"What if it doesnt work?" I felt tears

"It will" Charlotte hugged me tightly

We walked towards the front door and got in the car.

"Are you okay? You look like youre gonna cry" Dad said

"Yeah" I wiped my eye.

~AFTER COURT~

"I DONT WANT SEE HIM" I screamed, tears coming down my eyes.

"HE ALMOST KILLED ME!" I cried

"You have to spend the day with him"
