Your Safe With Me

Rachel looked over at her girlfriend while the hazel eyed girl had been putting on a front that she was okay and ready for the trail it was obvious in this very moment that she was a nervous wreck. Which was understandable she was about to face her abusers and rapist for the first time in months and she knew they were gonna throw everything at her to get her to screw up. Sighing Rachel grabbed the girlfriend trembling hands sending her a reassuring smile "Hey it's okay...you're gonna make yourself sick sweetheart" Rachel told her softly. Lucy nodded slowly as she looked out the car window attempting to stop all the thoughts cluttering her mind. 

As Lucy looked out the window she did her best to control her emotions and keep her hands from trembling. She couldn't help but think about what it would be like to see her "parents" for the first time in a while and just the thought made her wanna throw up she'd thought she was ready and prepared to see them but now she wasn't so sure if she was ready she wanted to tell LeRory to turn the car around and take her back home but she knew that he wouldn't do that not when they were this close to the courthouse. 

"Alright we're here girls" LeRory said looking at the girls in the mirror. Rachel nodded and unbuckled her seatbelt not noticing that Lucy had yet to move to unbuckle and get out. Slowly the red head unbuckled herself with shaky hands and got out the car and walking inside breathing heavily. As she walked with LeRory she saw her "parents" lawyer and she knew that was him because she'd grown up around the man he'd even gone as far as to moving to Lima for them. The man knew that her parents were abusing her he'd been present for some of it even took pleasure in watching it. To her he'd always been a creep he was just as disgusting as her father. Lucy's breath hitched when the man smirked at her as he passed her. "You ready for this Lucy ?" Hiram asked looking at her. hesitantly Lucy nodded and held his hand and walked into the court room with them.

As the Judge spoke Lucy blanked out and played with the hem of her skirt it felt like they'd been in the court room for hours already but in reality the lawyers had just spoken a brief summary of what they both believe happened in the Fabray home. It wasn't until LeRory was whispering her name in her ear that she zoned back in "They're calling you to the stand sweetheart" LeRory whispered to her. Lucy nodded and slowly went to the stand after saying she'd tell the truth she sat down and took a deep breath as her "parents" lawyer walked up and smiled at her "Quinn is it true that you made the choice to leave your parents home without informing them last year" John said looking at the girl "N-no...they kicked me out.." Lucy told him softly "Is it true that you are a trouble child ? Having sex with boys and even seducing your own father" John asked "No...I-...they-...my father he-..." Lucy stuttered, unfortunately Lucy looked over and made eye contact with Russel she was frozen. She watched as the man mouthed words to her and she knew exactly what he was saying "Your being bad Quinnie. You're supposed to lie for daddy not get him in trouble" Russel mouthed to the girl. 

Lucy felt sick she felt hot she felt as though she was back in that house. She felt like she needed to hurry and clean the house and began fixing lunch before her parents arrived home. All of the sudden she felt like a little girl again who'd just disobeyed her father and he was about to give her a spanking. Lucy hadn't realized that she was hyperventilating or crying or the fact that she was rocking slightly in her chair mumbling quietly "I'm so sorry daddy....I'm sorry daddy please..." she mumbled though she was quiet everyone could hear her. When LeRory touched the red heads shoulder gently she flinched and moved back "I said sorry...I didn't mean to be bad I swear..." Lucy mumbled not noticing that it was LeRory. "Hey Lucy sweetheart its me...your okay.." LeRory said softly. Turning around Lucy looked at the man she trusted dearly "I feel sick..." the hazel eyed girl whispered to him as tears rolled down her cheeks she wanted to go home and let him hold her til she fell asleep she didn't want to do this anymore.
