I'm scared.

I'm actually scared. Defending a rape case is always risky. Statistics show 1 of every 6 women are sexually assaulted. 70% of women who are sexually assaulted end up developing a stress or mental disorder.

Most cases, even one's I've worked on, the victim wins.

But those cases, the victim should win. Because the victim is being truthful.

"No." I say.

"Kara-"

"I'm not defending him Tony. I would rather step on my own heart." I reject while walking into his office. The cubicle was much preferable at this moment.

Tony looks to me, as if I just said 2+2=5. "Kara no one is as good as you."

"Yeah? Well then take my advice and let him rot in prison. He doesn't deserve my help nonetheless Stark Law Firms help. It's quite stupid to ask me of all people to defend that bastard." I proclaim from the comfort of a leather chair. My knuckles were growing whiter as my grip was tightening on the arm rest.

"Watch it Franks. Your a first year here and I would hate to let you go." Stark says defensively. I stand from my chair and lean over his desk.

"Fire me. I'll let you tell my father you wanted me to defended the man who raped his wife."

Current time

Alfredo was curled up in the sink in front of me. I pet the ball of fur as my straighter was heating up.

Wearing your hair long and straight is a good way to create a serious and professional image.

I slid the blonde strands through the heated tool. There was a small bald spot from having gum stuck in my hair, Joshua's doing of course. We had cut it out and for an odd reason it hasn't grown back. It sat a couple of centimeter above my right ear. It was always covered by the remainder of my hair but it did bother me.

After straightening my whole head, I give myself some affirmations in the mirror while Al' just purrs his paws off.

Affirmations can help strengthen self-worth by boosting both your positive opinion of yourself and your confidence in your ability to achieve your goals. They can also help counter the feelings of panic, stress, and self-doubt that often accompany anxiety.

I walk back to my bedroom, the cat slowly trailing along. My phone was untouched and on the cord but messages where coming in quick.

James Barnes
You said blue right?
Yeah it was blue.

Is it ok if Riley wears pink?

Can you call me when you can?

I exit out of his messages to check the other ones.
