A week passed and it was time for them to go on tour and my court case to start. I walked into the living room where all suitcases were packed and everyone was sitting down. I sat down next to Gerard and hugged him.

"I hate not being there for you" He whispered

"Mikey is here, I'll be fine" I lied

"I'll support her" Mikey spoke up

"Cassie, you call us and tell us how it goes okay?" Frank said walking over and hugging me, I hugged him back tightly.

"Yes Sir!" I chuckled and pulled back smiling.

"When will the bus be here?" Ray asked

"Very soon" Gerard replied.

"And when does the court case start" Ray asked me

"1pm" I whispered, we all sat there in silence until a car horn made us all jump. We all looked at each other as we stood up and ended up being in a group hug.

"I'm going to miss you" Gerard said

"Me too" I whispered and I pulled away to let them go. I stood at the door as they dragged their suitcases on the bus. They all turned back to see me and Mikey, they all waved and we waved back. Gerard looked hurt, Frank looked sad and Ray looked like he was faking a smile. They all walked onto the bus and left. I turned too Mikey who was half smiling.

"You ready?" I asked

"Yeah, Most importantly are you?" He asked, I wasn't ready but I would never be ready so I just nodded and walked to the car. Mikey ran and grabbed the keys then ran outside to the car. My heart was beating fast and I wanted to cry... Just cry till it was all over but that wouldn't work. We both hopped into the car and as Mikey started the engine I felt a tear fall from my eye and onto my cheek, I wiped it quickly so Mikey couldn't see.

"Let's get this over and done with" I whispered as Mikey drove to the court. I looked outside at the people laughing whilst walking on the streets, I watched the children smile at there dad's whilst he hugged them. I felt jealous and envied them all.

 As we arrived at the court I froze, Mikey stopped the car and stepped out of it. I slowly exited the car and walked to the entrance of the building. Mikey held my hand and we walked in, A man came up to me and smiled.

"Hello, I believe your name is Cassie?" I nodded "Well I'm your lawyer for today" He looked at Mikey and raised an eyebrow "And you are?"

"Her uncle" I felt Mikey's hand tense and I swallowed hard.

"Oh right, well we will need to enter the court soon. You'll be asked questions and all you need to do is tell them what your father did. We have some pictures of your bruises which is good evidence. You really have nothing to worry about" He smiled, but I just nodded. "Your uncle will have to leave you whilst you're in the court, he will be sitting behind you in the stands" I felt sick, I fount it hard to breath and I was becoming weak. I'd see my dad in the court and Mikey wouldn't be there to hold my hand, I'd have to face my fears alone. I looked up at Mikey who was half smiling.

"You can do this" He encouraged, but could I actually do this?
