-Jades p.o.v.-

"Come on, your lawyers here" the guard said opening my cell.

"I said I didn't want one" I said.

"Too bad, you got one anyway, let's go" he said and I walled out of my cell following him. He took me to this small room and there stood a Woman with a suit on with her hair in a bun.

I took a seat and she sat down too. She opened a file, which I guess is mine and looked up at me.

"Do you understand your charges?" She asked. I shrugged.

"You have two charges. Count of assault and 1st degree murder" she said.

"I wasn't trying to murder anybody" I said and she sat back folding her hands on the table.

"Please explain" she said.

"I blacked out, I don't remember doing anything" I said and she nodded.

"What was the last thing you remember before you blacked out?" She asked. I looked at the table and sat back in the chair.

"Panic" I said softly.

"Panic? Why were you panicked?" She asked.

"He was touching me, I don't like being touched especially by the male gender" I said.

"Okay, can you explain everything you do remember two days ago at your school?" She asked and I nodded.

"I was running late to school, I overslept, and I went to class but then after that I went to lunch and this girl wouldn't leave me alone so I called her names she got angry and I pushed her away from me. Her boyfriend who is the one I attacked put his hand on my shoulder and I freaked out. The next thing I remember I was being yanked away from him"

"He was on the floor covered it blood and so was my skateboard and hands. They wouldn't stop shaking and I got arrested and now I'm here" I explained, she nodded showing she was listening as she wrote some things down.

"Do you always feel panicked when you get touched?" She asked.

"Only if its a male" I said looking down.

"Why is that?" She asked. Memories flooded my mind but I shrugged.

"No idea" I said looking up at her.

"I've dealt with many abuse victims of assault, rape-"

"I haven't been raped, assualted or abused or anything" I said placing my hands on the table.

"You got really defensive there" she said and I shook my head.

"Are we finished here?" I asked.

"When you first arrived here how was it?" She asked.

"Fine, the guards looked away as I showered and got in this" I said pointing at my orange jumpsuit.

"Mmhmm, well, we are done but I'll be back tomorrow to discuss your court date" she said standing up and I did too. I walked out of the room and a guard took me to my cell.

I sat down on my hard bed that was really just a cot. I picked up the book the guard had given me and started reading it.
