Hi guys! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I was in London for a few days and the wifi was awful. I will get back to updating regularly now though.

Connie sighed and pulled her hand bag onto her shoulder, before turning around and waving at Jacob, who was sat in a car.

She felt really apprehensive and scared, but also hopeful, as she knew help was on its way. 

As she walked up to the desk, she could feel herself shaking.

'I'm Connie Beauchamp, I would like to report a case of domestic abuse against me.' Connie told the officer, sounding very scared.

'Okay, please fill out this form, return it to me and then we'll get someone to see you.' The officer replied, giving her a form.


A while later, Connie was waiting, she had given the form back and was told an officer would be down to see her soon. She was very nervous and kept fiddling with the handles on her bag.

Jacob walked over to her and smiled. 'Hey.'

'Hey' She replied, moving her bag so Jacob could sit down.

'Are you okay?' He asked, placing his hand on her thigh.

'Nervous, but I'll be alright.' She half - smiled at him.

'It'll be alright.' He told her, squeezing her leg.

'Connie Beauchamp?' An officer called, Connie put her hand up and walked over to the officer, followed by Jacob.

'Hi, I'm Constable Maria Laurie. If you're ready, we would like you to come and answer some questions and make a statement.' The officer said gently.

'Just remember I'll be waiting here. I'm here for you, and always will be.' Jacob told her, smiling reassuringly at her.

Connie nodded, squeezed Jacob's hand and swallowed.

'I'm ready.' She said, before following Maria out of the room.
