Invisible

Chapter 14

Hey guys! Sorry this took so long to write, I've had a lot of health problems and writer's block lately. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it! Love you guys!

The next week was filled with Lexi feeling sad and lonely at the social services place. She had little to no contact with anyone. The court contacted her parents and the next court day has been decided. Lexi's fate will be decided a week from the trial against her Uncle.

Day of the trial
*Lexi's P.O.V.*

It's been a week since I've seen any of my friends. I miss them all so much and I feel like I'm going crazy being kept in this facility. I haven't been able to leave to go to school or anything, so the only contact I've had with my friends and Lucas is through Mrs. Matthews, who comes to talk to me about the trial and to check on me every few days.
Finally the day of the trial came. I was nervous as I got closer. I haven't seen my parents in over a year and I'm scared that they'll take me from my new family and that they'll hurt me again.
 
As I walk in with the social worker, my friends all surround me. They all start asking questions at the same time, 'Are you okay?' 'Was it awful?' 'Were they nice to you?'. As I looked around at everyone and listened to them, I realized just how much I missed them and how much I love them. I really don't want to be taken away by my parents. Unknowingly, I started to cry and the next thing I knew, Lucas was hugging me tightly. I held onto him tightly as I cried into his chest as he stroked my hair and whispered things to reassure me that he wasn't going to let them take me.

"It'll be okay. There's no way that I will let them take you. You're going to stay with the Matthews, we'll go to school with all our friends, and we're going to go on dates every weekend. It's all going to be okay."

I made a sound in agreement and hugged him tighter as I dried my eyes. He smiled gently down at me, caressing my face, and looking lovingly at me. Then he leaned down and kissed my forehead and cheeks as I giggled at his actions.
Mrs. Matthews then put her hand on my shoulder and told me it was time, so I gave Lucas one more hug and followed her past the divider and to our table.

As we were getting settled, in walks a platinum blonde woman with an obvious boob job and spray tan, and her husband that's so tan he looks Mexican with his black balding hair, mustache, and huge muscles. These were my parents, Lily and Kalvin Shaw.
