Hello, Goodbye

part 11

*Maddies pov*

Samuel and I went to bed almost immediately after last night, I was mad at him at the time but I'm now glad. It was stupid of me to be honest, I was an an emotional mess and wasn't thinking.

Sam had to go into school today because there's a football match and need to practice according to his dad who he was arguing with this morning about having to go in.

Mr and Mrs Johnson took me to court today and tried there best to comfort me which was sweet of them. I was watching when the judge made an announcement, "Since there is no valid proof of Mr Hill being abusive towards Miss Miller we are now going to bring up Miss Hill and ask her a couple of questions."

What? Oh shit. I slowly stood up from my seat as I was greeted by one of the workers who led me to the stand and helped me up.

"Okay Miss Hill just 3 questions for you today then this will all be over, okay?" The judge spoke in a much softer voice to me as I nodded my head.

"Great. First question we'd like to ask you is: have you seen your father perform any acts of violence towards anyone?" A man stepped forwards as he spoke.

"No, never. He wouldn't hurt a fly..." I mumbled while fiddling with my fingers.

"Okay thankyou, and is it true your mother put you on a diet where you were starved?" The man questioned as I looked down again at my hands.

"Yes... yeah that's true.. she called it a fasting diet, I wouldn't eat anything for as long as I could untill I passed out then she would give me a single apple slice... I just got out of the hospital for anorexia 4 days ago because of it.." I spoke quietly, hating to have to admit I have anorexia.

"Im so sorry Miss Hill... now we'd like your opinion on who you stay with. Your father, Mr Hill, or your mother, Miss Miller." I looked at my dad then at the Johnsons, thinking of Sam. "I want to stay with my Dad, here in florida." I announced while smiling slightly.

"Okay thankyou for your input Miss Hill, you can go back to your seat now."

I stood up and walked back over to the Johnsons, Mrs Johnson immediately pulled me into a hug, "Well done, you did an amazing job!" She praised before releasing me from her grip.

No one said anything for about 10 minutes as the judge was discussing something with a few other workers and police.

Suddenly the judge cleared his throat and began reading off a sheet of paper, "We have the results of the court case between Mr Hill and Miss Miller on custody of Miss Hill. Mr Hill has won custody of His daughter, Miss Hill. Miss Miller will face 7 years in prison for child neglect and then 3 years on community service."

I watched as my mother broke down in tears while my father got up from his seat and began walking over to me with a huge grin on his face, "Come here buttercup.." he smiled while pulling me into a hug as I felt tears of joy roll down my face.
We both watched as my mother was put into handcuffs and walked out the room.

"Its 4pm... how about we go home and get changed then grab some dinner to celebrate. Oh and Sam's game is tonight isn't it? What time is it? We can go to that after!" My dad grinned at me as I hugged him again.

"Alright both of you smile!" Mrs Johnson exclaimed as she took out her phone to take a photo, I watched as the flash went off on her camera and smiled even bigger then before.

"We have to go pick up Jessica from her friends house but congratulations! We'll see you tonight!" Mrs Johnson stated while walking past my dad and I.

We had just finnished dinner and arived at the school where we were greeted by the Mr and Mrs Johnson and Jessica who immediately hugged me, "I'm glad your staying here!" She giggled while letting go of me. "I'm glad I'm staying too!" I responded with a soft smile on my lips.

"Come on get on my back I'll give you piggy back into the stadium!" I chuckled while crouching down to let Jessica on my back.

We got into the stadium and it was absolutely rammed. There was enough seats for all of us but they were split up in a 3 and a 2, the 2 seats were at the 1st row inbetween 2 older men and the other seats were on the 2nd row exactly behind them. "Uh there's seats over there.." I pointed as I began walking over. We got to them but now had to decide who sat where.

"You girls go in the front so no one blocks your view, were fine behind you." My dad offered as he began walking to the seats in the 2nd row.

I put Jessica down and held onto her hand so she didn't get lost as we walked into the aisle, "go on you go first I'll be right behind you." I smiled as she walked infront of me. That's when I felt it. Some guy groped my ass. I know I'm wearing a short dress but it's not an invitation! If I didn't have Jessica with me I would've said something.

I sat down next to Jessica who almost immediately climbed onto my lap making me laugh. "Where are they all?" She asked while looking at me. "They'll be out in a second.." I replied while looking towards the guy who had groped me, he had a sick expression on his face. Like he wanted more.

I looked towards the pitch when I heard cheering and saw the football team walking out as someone announced over the speakers the game will begin in a minute.

"Which ones Sam?" Jessica questioned while turning to look at me, "he's number 54.. look you see him?" I pointed towards him and saw a grin appear on her face.

I watched as Sam began scanning the stadium, assuming to look for his family. He must've spotted us because a huge grin appeared on his face as he looked in our direction.

It got to half time and almost immediately he ran over to us, "Your staying here?!" He exclaimed while pulling himself up on the bar so he was almost face to face with me, "Yeah! My mums been sentenced 7 years aswell!" I giggled while leaning forward and kissing him.

Suddenly I heard someone yell out from the side, "Hey! 54! Your girlfriends hot! Let me have a go!" It was the creep from earlier. I quickly stopped Sam when he went to yell back at him to make sure he didn't get into a fight.

"Ignore him. He's a creep. Now go get a drink your about to go back on in a minute." I kissed him one last time before he walked off again.

The rest of the game went extremely well with them winning by miles off. just like he did at half time, he ran over to us again.

"Hey I wanna ask you something, homecoming is in less then a month, will you go with me?" Samuel questioned while lifting himself up again before jumping over the bar so he was stood with me. "Does the pope pray? Ofcourse I'll go with you!" I giggled before he leant down and kissed me to my dad's disgust.

"Ewww! That's gross!" Jessica fake gagged making the parents laugh, "in fairness you two, watch the tongue there's a kid around!" Mr Johnson chuckled.
