I sat in court waiting for them to start.

I heard people mumbling behind me.

I look around and see Faith and Jay walk in with Mandy.

I look at them sadly, Faith looks at me pissed.

I'm in jail because I killed Luke. I didn't mean too, he was coming at me and I had a knife in my hand.

She shakes her head, I drop my head and cry.

She disappointed. "I'm sorry" I mumbled like she could hear me.

Today is the day I find out if I'm guilty or not.

Jess never came to any of my courts, I guess because of Lisa.

Everyone hates me for what I did but nobody understands I was defending myself.

I didn't notice we started until they called my name.

"Please come up to the stand" the judge repeats for the guy.

I slowly stand up and walk to the stand with a limp.

I sit down. "Do you still not know your last name" the guy asks.

"I never knew my last name" I mumbled.

"Well then Mrs. Layla" he says.

•2 hours later•

"We find the defended not guilty on the count of murder" the guy says.

I drop my head, I thought I would be able to get out of harm not I'm going back.

"Your free" my lawyer says.

"No I'm not, leave me alone" I say as the police came and got me. "Thank you for what you've done though" I mumbled.

Soon I sat in my cell waiting for Faith, I see her come and she tells me lets go.

We leave and I sat in the car with her, Jay and Mandy.

"Right here" Faith tells Jay.

Jay pulls over to the side of the road, I look out the window.

"Get out" Faith says.

"Yes m'am" I mumbled. I opened the car door.

"Take the stupid baby too" she yelled.

I take the car seat out the car and close the door and they speed off.

I get out the road and start walking down the street.

•Year Later•

He gave me money and I left with Mandy.

She now one and a half.

"I know your hungry" I mumbled walking down the street.

Soon we sat in the alley as I feed her, her food.

I haven't eaten in months. I hum as I feed her and she started to cry.

I pick her up and rock her.

"We have to get some where to sleep tonight" I whisper grabbing the stuff and putting her in her car seat.

I can barely carry her because Im so weak.

So I found something so I can roll the car seat and stuff.

Soon I get to the shelter home and I ask the lady does she have any room.

She said I was lucky because they have one more room.

"Thank you" I smile.

"We will be serving food in a little bit" she smiled.

"Alright" I say and nodded.
