Nightingales (demi lovato fanfic)

court meeting

Elsa's POV

I walked out into the front room where Demi had dropped me off yesterday. I walked up to the lady behind the counter and returned the smile she was giving me.

"Umm I have to go to a court or something I think." I said.

"Oh yes, you must be Elsa. We have assigned you a care taker who will drive you to where you need to be and she will stay with you for the whole time." She said smiling.

"Ok, thank you. Do I just wait here?"

"Yeah, I'll just call her." she said walking into the room behind her. She walked out with Ebony behind her and Ebony smiled warmly at me.

"Hi Elsa, I'm your care taker for today."

"Hi." I smiled back.

I followed Ebony to a small silver car and got in.

"So, court. Can I ask why?" Ebony asked.

"Yeah, uhh a custody battle."

"I heard something about Demi Lovato fighting for custody over one of our girls. That wouldn't happen to be you would it?" She asked.

"Haha yeah, that would be me." I replied.

"That is so cool, I love Demi, she's freakin amazing." Ebony said as she was driving.

"Haha. yeah she is." I laughed.

I really liked Ebony. She was so layed back and fun. We drove listening to the radio for a few minutes. I wanted to find out more about Aymie but I was scared to ask. I took a deep breath and counted to three in my head.

"So, Aymie, her older sister died?" I asked cautiously.

"Yes. Her older sister, Maya, commit suicide and they found her dairy and there were several accounts of sexual and physical abuse from both her parents. They were arrested and Aymie was given to us. She's been here for about a week and Maya has been dead for just over two weeks. The police say that they found Aymie hiding in a cupboard in the same room that Maya was found. They believe that her parents confronted them both and Maya hid Aymie so she wouldn't get hurt and then when her parents told her that they would be better off without her she took some pills." Ebony whispered staring straight ahead.

"Oh." I choked out through the tears that were threatening to fall. Poor Aymie. Poor girl.

The rest of the drive was silent except for the radio. We finally arrived at a big limestone building that had a massive sign on the front that read 'Family court of Perth, Western Australia.' I wonder if Demi was already in there. I climbed out of the car with Ebony and followed wearily behind her. We walked through the big stone doors and she put her hand on my shoukder to calm me. She knew that I was on the verge of an anxiety attack. We went up to the counter and Ebony started speaking to the man behind it. He pressed a button and then called for my team over an anouncer.

"Elsa," called a police man that was being followed by what i guess was a lawyer. "right this way please."

They led me down a long corridor and then in to a small room that was signed as an interview room. They took a red sign that said 'in use' and put it on the door. I was lead in and sat down in a red chair.

"I'm sorry miss but you can't follow Elsa in here. Please just take a seat in the corridor chairs and we should be done soon." The police said politely to Ebony.

She gave meone last warm smile before the door was shut.

"So, Elsa. Hi my name is John and this is Dave, who will be your lawyer for your custody battle." introduced the police man. "So today we just want to ask you a few questions, everything that you tell us is confidential unless it puts you or anyone else at harm, tomorrow we will have the trial in the court room and then theh day after that we wil have a meeting with you and your parents or care giver, who ever recieves custody over you."
