"We find Alexander Hartford guilty, charged with an indictable offense in domestic violence and another charge of aggravated sexual abuse of the third degree. You will be sentenced to life in prison. Court dismissed."

I felt tears spring in my eyes as my attorney quickly wrapped me in a hug. I shook my lawyers hand and we left the courtroom.

I was quickly met with Johnnie who hugged me tighter than I had ever been hugged before. I hugged him back 10x harder and began sobbing.

"Sh, it's okay. You got him." Johnny softly whispers to me, stroking my hair. I pulled away from him and wiped my eyes. "I can't mess up my makeup." I laughed.

I finally got justice. He was being put away until he died.

"I think we should go get some Starbucks." Tara says. I laugh and nod my head.

I thanked all of my friends and talked with them for awhile before we left. I was so happy that they were there for this. I knew my parents wouldn't be able to as they live in New Orleans but I knew they watched the footage as they've been texting me non-stop. My
Mother had to from a hospital bed while she got chemo treatments.

Walking out of the courthouse I got a lot of congratulations on my win. I felt amazing. I had finally escaped.

I drove in the car with Johnnie, Jake, and Tara. I drove because when Tara drives we have to listen to Harry Styles and One Direction, when Jake drives he's just a maniac, and Johnnie can't even drive.

I put on our car playlist and we drove to Starbucks. Singing our hearts out to some Taylor Swift was always therapeutic.

"I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22!" We all shouted, pulling up to the Starbucks drive-thru.

For emo's, these bitches were specific as fuck when it came to their Starbucks order. Especially Johnnie, considering he eats like a 5 year old.

After getting our drinks we decided to go home and relax.

"When we get home do you guys want to film and explanation video with me? I promised and everyone has so many questions and I am literally getting like attacked." I say. "I will." Johnnie says. "Me and Jake had plans to go do something when we get home. Sorry." "You're fine."




I set up the camera on the tripod and me and Johnnie were sat at my PC desk where I do streams.

I took a deep breath as I gathered myself.

"Hey guys. I know I haven't been active on anything really but I am just coming on here before I start posting so I can give you guys some information. And I also have my best bud with me!" I look at Johnnie and smile.

"Anyways. I don't really know where to start. Um, as you all know me and Alex had been dating for awhile. In the beginning our relationship was great. He was nice and caring and he was a gentleman. Then he got verbally abusive. He'd call me names and degrade me every chance he got. It was the worst thing. Then he started hitting me. And it got really bad. I mean every interaction with him was a screaming battle or a fist fight. If it weren't for Johnnie and my friends I don't know where I'd be now." I say.

Johnnie looks at me sympathetically. "I don't know how she did it. I mean from what I saw the one time it was so aggressive. And she had locked herself away from us because she didn't want us knowing. But it was a scary sight to see. I mean, with shit like this it's never someone you know, until it is. And it was crazy witnessing a man hit a woman like that."

I nodded. "Um, I don't want to go into details but he did sexually abuse me too. If you want more details just watch the clips from the court case. But this has been seriously life changing. And like I said if it weren't for Johnnie, Colby, Sam, Jake, and Tara I have no clue how I would be right now. For all we know I could've been dead. I'm just really happy that I have friends that care for me like they do." I say.

I wipe the tear that fell down my face.

"And guys, if you are ever struggling in a relationship like this please tell someone. No matter what there will always be someone. Either a total stranger, family, or friends. Just never suffer in silence. Ever. What I did COULDVE caused me way more pain than I could imagine. I had already hidden for two weeks when everyone found out. He had given me a black eye and the blood vessel in my eye had popped. I don't know. It's just crazy. And don't think Johnnie's trying to take my shine away, I asked him to be here. I know how y'all are with that and I just want to say that I personally asked him to be here since he was an eyewitness to what had happened."

"Yeah, in no way, shape, or form do I want to take the spotlight from Liana. This is her story and life and I'm her emotional support emo." He says.

I giggled and wrap my arms around him.

"My emotional support emo!" I laughed. "But in all seriousness, Johnnie has been a better friend then I could've ever asked for and I truly do appreciate him and everything that he does." "You talk about me like I'm not even here." We both laugh. "Yeah, well it's awkward talking directly to you because it feels like they're intruding. Much easier to speak about you to them and then have you thank me for just being so amazing." I smile.

"Who said I was gonna do that?" "Me, because I know everything and I'm always right. Now say it." I say.

He laughs. "You're so amazing Liana, gosh I would just do anything for you." He says dramatically falling to the floor on his knees while praying to me.

I laugh as he just looked back and forth from me to the camera.

"But for real, I'm so grateful for you Johnnie." I say, wrapping my arms around him.

"I'm so grateful for you too, Liana." He says as he hugs me back.
