For The Love of A Daughter

court

*Demetriana's POV*

"Wake up, Demi" I heard my mom yell from downstairs.

I shivered at the name, not only because I ran away from her, but because I couldn't stand it anymore.

"Don't call me that!" I came off really rude. I really don't care. Yes, I know what you're thinking.

I silently started humming and decided that I probably should get up. I looked at the clock and realized it's 7:30am.

"What the actual fuck! It's 7:30am! I'm not a fucking morning person!"

I groaned.

I put on some PINK sweats and did a messy bun with my black uggs. Didn't bother brushing my teeth.

I didn't know whether we were going to breakfast. I didn't know where we were going at all.

I got downstairs and my parents looked at me like I was crazy or something.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing... uhm, don't you wanna change?" They seemed worried.

"Hell nah, let's go!" I've been cursing a lot lately. Need to stop that.

--------------------------------------

We were in the car and I had my headphones on. I fell asleep to Demi's music. I just can't stop automatically listening to her music.

I mean she's really talented and I feel that if-.

It's not worth it. She gave me up and it was her choice. I'm not going to kiss her ass.

"We're here!" I just then noticed that they were in suits.

"Where the hell are we?" I asked. I looked out the window and realized we're at fucking court.

"You could've told me! I would've dressed nicer!" I yelled. Then again it's nobody's fault except mine.

We got out of the car and entered the court room. I kept my eyes down at the floor and didn't notice anybody.

"We're here for a custody ruling. This trial may proceed."

I heard the male judge say.

It rang over and over again in my head until Demi's lawyer called out.

"I'd like to call Dani to the stand."

My mom stood up.

Please don't screw this up, mom. I'm begging you.

"When did you first accept Demetriana into your family?" DL said. (DL= Demi's Lawyer)

"We accepted Demetriana in our home on December 19th, 2003" Mom said.

"Wow, you sure do know the exact date don't you. Will you ever know how it felt to give birth to such a wonderful kid?"

"No." my mom said worried.

"Will you ever know how it was holding her as soon as she was born?"

"No." My mom lost hope.

"No further questions." DL said.

My mom at this point was crying.

Probably thinking about how awful it was and how she never got to be the first to hold me in her hands.

-Before she could reach me, I sprang up from my seat, and wrapped my arms tightly around her. I told the judge I wanted her. Only her.-
If only that was true.
