Finding my master

BAILEY

"Calm down love, he won't be able to get to you we will be on the other side of the room and there is security everywhere." Jax comforts my anxiety about court.

We are laid cuddling in bed, he's big spoon, I'm little and hes carefully stroking my hair, I love the warmth of his hands on my body, its calming- "I know but what if the judge lets him free, I can't help but worry."

"Just stop thinking about it darling, the lawyer says that he is very confident our evidence is enough to lock him away and then we can go on free with our lives, yeah?"

"Mkay." I respond still feeling nervous but wanting to stop talking about it.

Instead, Jax pulls me closer to his body and gives me small neck kisses- causing me to giggle, "You like that pup?" he chuckles as he moves further down my body. Nodding in agreement, I lean into his soft touch slightly grinding my hips against his thigh to get some friction.

"Ah ah puppy, not today, we need sleep."

"But master-" I whine, "I wanna play."

"Later pet, come on my mistake for starting with the kisses, lets just cuddle whilst we go to sleep yeah?"

"Okay master," even though I know he's right I can't help but feel slightly disappointed.

"Hm good boy."

"Yes Bailey you have to go, you have to at least give a statement against him okay." Jax says as I stop outside the courthouse, my nerves are kicking in again, Willow already went in to get started on the security aspect of it all.

"But I really don't want to."

"Come on darling, you know that if you do he will be out away forever and can't hurt anyone again don't you?" I nod my head, "See, so you need to go in, be brave for me and I have the perfect reward."

"Okay, I think I'm ready."

The security doesn't take long, though I got slightly scared at one point when the man asked who Jax was, of course Jax was smart and knew what to say so he could stay- the security man said we were lucky he wasn't sent away.

As we walk into the main room my eyes immediately meet with my fathers.

My stomach drops.

The way you can see the pure anger in his eyes terrifies me, I've seen him mad before but not like this. I guess he wasn't expecting being arrested this week. Oh well.

"I would like to call the first victim up to the stand please." the authoritative voice of the judge booms, as Willow timidly walks up to the platform, "State your evidence."

I zone out as she is talking, not because she is boring or I'm being ignorant - no, its because I can't bare to hear the disgusting things he did. I can't believe I'm half of him, half of my body came from that monster. Am I going to turn into him?

As she lists off the stuff he subjected her to my heart aches- it's worse than me. I guess I'm sort of lucky that he is my dad, means he wouldn't try rape me like he did with Willow.

"Bailey please come to the stand and provide your evidence." the judge says with no emotion.

Walking up to the stand I feel the eyes of my dad glare at me, the silent threat of 'don't say anything or I'll find a way to hurt you.' I try to tell myself that it's just my imagination but it's hard.

As I reach the stand my eyes scan the room searching for Jax, him and Willow are giving me supportive looks. Without thinking about it my shaking voice lists off the multitude of abusive a yes he did to me.
