A Soft Touch Far Away - (Stefanielle fanfic)

FAMILY

Charlotte's POV :

When I heard the judge's final decision, I felt a rush of adrenaline in my whole body and my muscles just gave out.

Being required to stand up, I felt my body collapse to the ground.

It took only a few seconds for two pairs of hands to get me on my feet.

"Oh my- is this real ??" I asked faintly through blurry vision to Danielle and Stefania who had tears in their eyes.

"Yes bambina, you're coming home with us, you're ours !"

I felt again a rush of emotions in my body and couldn't stay up by myself.

Danielle kept me up as I scrubbed my eyes to try and get rid of the stars my brain was creating.

When I opened my eyes again, I met my mom's death glare.

"Next step will be Valeria and Ashton Rayne's trial for abuse. I don't have a precise date for the judgment but for now, they'll be detained in custody," The judge explained.

"Miss Savre, Miss Spampintao, I will need you to come and sign the guardianship papers," She said now smiling at us.

I was stunned.

I couldn't speak.

I couldn't move.

I was finally freed from my parents.

"Lottie ?"

"Charlotte can you look at me ?" Danielle asked.

My eyes met hers.

She was smiling widely and had teary eyes.

"You're with us now, forever,"

"We won't ever let you go," She promised and peppered my face with kisses.

I needed time to comprehend what was happening.

But I knew it was what I wanted for my whole life.

I finally had a loving family who wanted me for who I was, not for the money I was making.

I don't really know what happened after that.

Danielle and Stefania went to sign the official papers, they thanked our lawyer, my parents left without a word, and in no time we were in front of the big doors, ready to come home.

Danielle crouched in front of me.

She took my hands and squeezed them to make me come back to real life.

"Just one last moment where I need you to be brave, there will probably be a lot of people outside but we'll do as when we arrived and everything will be fine, okay ?"

I nodded, not feeling strong enough to answer verbally.

Dani kept one of my hand and Stefania led the way out.

As soon as we were outside, hundreds of journalists came running to me.

I was blinded by the flashes clicking all around me.

"Charlotte !!"

"Are your parents in jail ?"

"Did you make up everything ?"

"What was the decision of the judge ?"

They all screamed and it was too much.

I felt Danielle put her vest on my head and drag me towards the parking lot.

She placed me in the backseat and sat next to me.

Stefania drove us home as I was completely out of it. Too much was happening all at once.
