In The Place to be {Anthony Ramos x reader}

Chapter 39 - Guilty or No?

Today was the day, today the scumbag who raped me would be thrown in prison. Well... hopefully but there was no way he was getting out of this one. We all gathered in the courtroom. I sat next to my lawyer and looked at him. He patted my shoulder and smiled warmly at me. I returned the smile and took a deep breath in. Then he walked in and sat at the table opposite from us. About 10 minutes later the jury came in. My heart pounded in my chest as one of the members stood and unfolded a small slip of paper.

Bum bum

All I could hear was slow breathing and my heartbeat. I fidgeted with my fingers. "The jury has decided. On the charges of rape in the second degree,"
I held my breath and prayed, something I hadn't done in a while. "We find the defendant,"

"Not guilty."

My heart stopped. I looked at my lawyer then at him. Tears stung in the corners of my eyes. "No no NO!" I screamed. "Mr. Barba control your client." The judge said to my lawyer. "HE RAPED ME!" I ran out of the courtroom. I ran outside and cried on the steps. Soon Anthony was at my side crying because he couldn't try to comfort me.

Later that day we had gone home, Leslie and his wife took Phillip so he could play with his baby girl, I cried into the throw pillow on the couch as Ant paced around the room on the phone with my lawyer. "You said he couldn't get away with this BARBA!" I picked up my head and wiped my face, unable to cry anymore. My head hurt so bad, memories of the rape flooded my brain. "GO AWAY!" I clutched my head and screamed. Ant hung up the phone and came to me on the couch. He cupped my face and stared into my eyes. "Im so sorry baby I promise he won't hurt you ever again, or our family-" I pressed my finger to his lips and whispered. "No more sorry's tonight. Just me, and you." Tears streamed down both of our faces as I connected our lips. You know what happens next.

Time skip cuz im lazy (and juicy stoof happens)

Three days had passed and I had started to feel somewhat better, safer almost. I watched from the kitchen as Anthony played with Phillip, trying to teach him how to crawl. "Ok so...this hand then this leg...yes!- no! Pip!"

Phillip's POV
DADA THIS IS HARD! I dont wanna! I like roll better! Much faster me go quick! This floor fuzzy, feel like doggy. I HUNGRY NOW!"

Y/N's POV
I watched as Phillip started to wail and kick around "Babe what did you do?" I joked. "Hes hungry, I didn't do shiz." He said as he carried Phillip to his highchair and set him in it. "What shall we have tonight Pipper?" Ant asked as he looked at the selections of baby food. "Hmm, strawberry banana mush? Or peas and carrots?" Phillip whined in response. "Strawberry banana it is." I giggled as he grabbed the food and a spoon and squatted next to Phillip to feed him. "Babe can you run to the
store, Pip needs more wipes and diapers." Ant asked politely. "Sure." "Actually I can go if y-" "Ill be fine." I said and smiled. I kissed his forehead and Pips, grabbed the keys and made my way out to the car. I got in and drove to the nearest store. "Alright quick trip, no extras." I said as I walked in the store. I made my way over to the baby section. "Ok... Pampers orrrr the cheap stuff. I am a good mother doing good mother things and I will pay a little extra for good diapers because I am a good mother." I said picking up the Pampers and some wipes. I paid for them and left the store. I walked to the car and threw my stuff in the trunk of the car. I heard a car honk behind me. I quick turned around and shrugged it off. When I went to turn back around a bag was thrown over my head. "Found you." A voice said "HELP GET OFF HELP ME SOMEONE!" I screamed I was dragged into the backseat of a car. The car sped away and I flailed around and screamed. The car stopped and he ducktaped my hands and feet. Then one last piece of tape on my mouth. I knew exactly who it was.

Nathan.
