You're safe now (Lucy bronze)

Chapter 46

Lucy's POV:

The hallway was quiet as I made my way back to where Emily's dad was last. I wanted to know what was going to happen to him. He needed to be arrested, he should've been a while ago and then this wouldn't have happened. I should've called the police after what happened last time. This feels like it's partly my fault because I could've prevented this.

I just need to focus on Emily right now and making sure she feels safe and the only way she will is if her dad is in prison.

When I get out to the pitch I see a few officers and I head over to them. Emily's dad is in handcuffs and is being held by one of the officers. As I get closer to him I can feel my blood boiling just by being near him. I can't believe he could treat his own child like that and think he could get away with it.

The officer gave me a run down of the situation, telling me that he will be brought to the station and will be detained. He said we need to go and give statements tomorrow so they can be used in court. I know Emily will most likely not agree to that but I know it needs to be done.

I followed them outside and watched as Emily's dad got put into the back of the police car. I had to say something before the door closed

"You're disgusting and you don't deserve to be a father" I told him letting my anger get the better of me . My voice was harsh and filled with venom. He didn't react to what I said. I didn't care though, I knew he had heard it and that's all that mattered to me.

I watched the police car leave and I let out a sigh of relief. He was gone now but I knew this wasn't over. When the car was out of sight I walked over to Keira's car and lightly tapped on her window, it was dark now and I didn't want to scare her. She rolled it down when she noticed me standing there.

"She's fallen asleep. do you know what's going on?" She asked, glancing behind to Emily who was passed out in the passenger seat.

"Uhm, he's been arrested but we have to go to the station tomorrow to give a statement. I'm not sure how Emily will feel about it though. I'll speak to her in the morning" I tell her, rubbing my face, this whole thing was so draining, all the emotions had taken everything out of me and it was obvious Emily was feeling the same. Keira sighed in response.

"I'll drive my car back if u bring Emily, I don't want to wake her up, she's been through enough today" I tell Keira, watching as Emily slept, he neck was still red and I could see faint handprints around her throat. It upset me knowing she would have another reminder of tonight, knowing her she would want to forget it even happened but I don't think that is possible.
