Screaming for Help

The Trial Pt.1

*Lauren POV*

When we wake up in the morning, the sense of dread that's been looming over me comes down fully.

I hear Camila groan beside me considering she just woke up. "what are you thinking about" she asks me, "about if this whole trial thing goes to shit I'm probably dead" I say with a long sigh. 

Camila sits up on the bed a looks at me "hey don't think like that, even IF things don't go our way, which won't happen I'll protect you from everything" She says softly.  

I sigh not an irritated sigh just a tired one "I know and that's why I'm yours and not his anymore" I whisper. Camila just smiles softly "Well we better get up and get moving if we want to get to the court house on time" Camila says as she starts getting up from the bed. I groan but get up anyway. "Hey Camz can we li- ......actually never mind" I say getting nervous. She stops and turns to me and says "no its okay what did you want to ask me".

"Well its just I'm really nervous about today, and I don't really wanna be alone I also kinda want to be close to you so canweshowertogetherplease" I start to say super fast. Camila just smiles and nods her head very vigorously "hell yeah" she says also very excitedly. I smile just as big as her and we head into the bathroom.

 I start to undress meaning just taking off her t-shirt and the boxers I stole from her, I look over to she her mouth gaped open and a little drool start to form in the corner of her lips. I chuckle "Are you gonna actually undress or just continue to stand there and drool at me" I say amused. She shakes her head snapping out of it while I turn on the very fancy shower to heat it up. When I turn back around to face her she managed to undress, now I'm the one gaping because her dick is HUGE. Unfortunately she caught me starting at the monster between her legs and retorts "Are you just gonna stand there and drool or actually get in the shower with me" she says as she walks into the preheated shower, I shake my head and follow after her.

I wrap my arms around her waist and rest my head against her back as she stands underneath the spray of warm water, I whisper against her back "thank you for being here with me and becoming my person through all of this". She turns around and wraps her muscular arms around me making me feel the safest I've ever been and she says in a whisper "I'll continue to be here for you" as she kisses my head.

We just stood under the shower head for a few more minutes before finally doing what we needed to, then getting out to get ready for the day....the long dreaded day.

I plug my straightener in the outlet next to the sink, I had already put on my outfit for the day and was getting ready to do some light makeup while the tool heats up. As I'm doing my routine Camila walks into the bathroom behind me fully dressed in her pressed and ironed police uniform no utility belt. She reaches for her hair brush that is in front of the iron. On instinct I flinch to protect myself and yell out "NO". Camila recoils and backs away from me, I uncover myself once I realized what just happened and look guilty over at Camila "I'm sorry its just the other day he got mad and he hit me with my curling iron, he burned most of hair length off so that's why its so short" I explain. "No baby, don't be sorry, I  should've warned you what I was doing" she says reassuring me I wasn't at fault. "He's got me really fucked up" I say sadly. Camila just hugs me and says "well talk about this later but we really need to get going soon". I peck her on the lips as she walks away with her hair brush.

*At the courthouse* *Still Lauren POV* 

Once we arrive at the courthouse we got there before Tyrone was brought in so I sit in the designated table and chairs as Camila sits beside, she puts a comforting hand on top of my hand she rubs the pad of her thumb along my knuckles "you'll be okay I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere" she whispers quietly into my ear.

Just as I am staring to feel better the doors open and in comes Tyrone shackled in an orange jumpsuit with guards all around him. Once he sets his eyes on me he smirks and blows me a kiss, but once he sees Camila's hand that smirk instantly turns into a look of murderous rage. The guards sit him down at his table next to ours and shackle him in. 

The judge hits her gavel and speaks loudly "We are here today in the order that Mr. Tyrone Griffin is sentenced to 75 years to life for domestic abuse in the first degree on Ms. Lauren Jauregui". She speaks clearly. She turns towards me "Ms. Jauregui may you please take the stand" the judge says. I nod and stand up making my way over to the designated area I try not to look at Ty on my way.

Once I'm seated Ty's attorney comes up to introduce himself and start to question me. "Hello Ms. Jauregui I'm Austin Mahone is it alright if I question you on your relationship with Mr. Griffin?". I speak into the microphone "yes" I spoke clearly. "How long were you in a relationship with Tyrone" His lawyer questions, "Three years" I say timidly. His lawyer nods "and in those three years when did he become 'abusive' as you put it" he spoke cockily, I grimace "about a year and half ago was when he started to hit me regularly" I stated. His lawyer smiles at me and says "what did you do that would set Mr. Griffin off in particular". I look at his lawyer before speaking "If I didn't do anything right to his standards, like cleaning, cooking, if didn't look or dress a certain way" I say. His lawyer just looks at me "and he just started to do this out of the ordinary" he states clearly. I nod my head and answer with a simple "yes". He nods "well if this had been going on for so long, why didn't you reach out for help" he stated wildly. I sputter. He walks away "no further questions, your honor" He states like he had just cracked the code.

My lawyer walks up, "Hi Lauren" she says softly. "Hi" I say back. She starts off "What did Tyrone do to you in the years he was abusive" My lawyer questions. "He would punch me in the face and mainly on my body, he would kick my stomach, there was a couple times where he used a hammer. And as of recently he started to sexually abuse me to" I say tearing up a bit. Demi my lawyer gives me a tissue and I dab my eyes.

"Can you describe the day he came to your place of work" Demi spoke. I nod and begin "Well I came in late because he had used my curling iron as a weapon and burned most of my hair off. So after I got to the school, I set up my power point and was lecturing, when he came in. He didn't like that I was angry that he came in. And he swung in front of my class, it hit me square the jaw. I didn't think he would do anything like that in public so the hit knocked me down and that's when one of my students came to check on me. While she was bent over looking at my jaw I noticed he was getting ready to strike her, so I rolled her over, I ended up on the top to take the blow. It knocked the wind out of me so I couldn't recover fast enough. That's whenever he took advantage of me he started hitting me left and right while sitting on my hips pinning me to the ground. The last thing I remember is passing out and coming to when the paramedics put me on the stretcher to take me to the hospital. I finish my story. Demi nods and looks at the judge "No further questions your honor" she says. the judge nods and speaks to me "Ms. Jauregui you are free to exit the stand and be seated". I nod and move my way back to my table while avoiding eye contact with Tyrone the whole way there.
