-Jades p.o.v.--the next day-

I had my head down as two cops escorted me to the police car. They pushed my head down as I got into the back of the car. I kept my head down as they drove to the court house.

When they pulled up to the court house they got me out and two more cops walked behind me. We entered the court house and all the while I just kept my head down.

Everything seemed to be in slow motion as I walked down the long wide hallway. We turned into the court room and I glanced over instantly finding T. She looked slightly confused as to why there was four cops surrounding me.

The chains shuffled on the floor as I walked. I sat down beside my lawyer as two cops stood close while the other ones took their places in the court. Ms. Hudson looked at me.

"What were you thinking?" She asked peeved. I just stared at my hands that were still slightly shaking.

"Court is in session" the judge said and shuffled some papers around.

"We are here in court today for the charges against Ms. McRay. One charge for assult on Mr. Davidson and 1st degree murder also on Mr. Davidson and are these new charges?" He asked an officer and my lawyer to come to his stand. I glanced behind me at T and she was very confused and whispered something to her mom and she just shrugged. I looked front again.

My lawyer came and sat down next to me and I was called to the stand. I did the while vow thing to tell all the truth and nothing but the truth.

"Ms. McRay do you remember what you were feeling before you attacked Mr. Davidson?" His lawyer asked.

"Yes" I said looking at him.

"And what were you feeling?" He asked.

"Panic" I said.

"Do you remember what you used as a weapon?" He asked.

"My skateboard" I said.

"And why did you attack Mr. Davidson?" He asked.

"I don't know, I don't remember attacking him" I said.

"So, what your saying is that you remember feeling panicked and what you used to attack Mr. Davidson but you don't remember attacking him?" He asked pacing.

"That's correct" I said.

"Will you please elaborate on that?" He asked.

"I blacked out, I only remember what I used because it was ripped away from me after I was pulled away and brought back to reality" I said and he nodded.

"Thank you" he said and sat back down and my lawyer stood up.

"Can you explain to me what you were feeling when you brutally attacked your cell mate Clair Johnson?" She asked and I shook my head.

"No, I don't remember any of it" I said.

"You remember feeling panic when Mr. Davidson did what to you?" She asked.

"He touched my shoulder and I panicked" I said.

"So, did that happen with your cell mate?" She asked and I shrugged.

"I told you I don't know" I said and she nodded.

"Do you remember telling me that you hate being touched by the male gender?" She asked and I nodded.

"Yes, I do" I said.

"Can you tell me why?" She asked. I know what she's doing, I can't tell a lie.

"I told you before I don't know why" I said lying.

"Ms. McRay tell the truth" the judge said. I looked at T and she looked at me.

"I can't" I said looking down.

"You have to answer that question" he said and I sighed.

"Ms. McRay can you please tell the court why" he repeated.

"Because I-" I cut myself off fear setting in.

"Ms. McRay" the judge said getting inpatient.

"Because I was raped" I said looking up.

"When were you raped?" My lawyer asked.

"When I was eleven and almost everyday after by my mothers boy toys so that she could drugs" I said and glanced at T. She looked down. I sighed and looked away.

"When was the last time you raped?" She asked.

"The morning of the day I attacked Mr. Davidson" I said.

"You see Ms. McRay had no intension to attack Mr. Davidson, she was scared and when he touched her shoulder she panicked and blacked out, she had no control over herself" my lawyer said.

"No more questions" she said and walked away.

"Let's take a five minute recess" the judge said and I got down from the stand. I followed my lawyer out of the court room and looked at T to see her crying. I wanted to just hug her and tell her everything will be okay.

"Stay right here, I'll be right back" my lawyer said and I nodded. I looked to my left to see someone I never thought I would see.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"You selfish little bitch" she said angrily.

"You were my money maker and now I have nothing!" She whispered yelled. She grabbed my arm and dragged me to the bathroom.

She pushed me into the wall hard but I couldn't defend myself because my hands and ankles were cuffed.

"You stupid little cunt" she said and grabbed my head banging it against the wall.

"Stop" I said and felt a warm liquid run down the back of my head. She punched me in the face and shoved me against the sinks. I banged my forehead on the edge and felt blood run down my face quickly.

"Come on hurry" she said then I felt a weight on me. A tear slipped down my cheek then darkness took me over.
