The next morning I was up early. Well to be honest I didn't really sleep. We had to see a lawyer. I've never been to court, I don't know how this works. I'm so nervous. I stood in front of a full body mirror in the guest bedroom. Emily's crib stood as a constant reminder that I had lost her. All I could think was that I failed her. I'm the older sister, I'm suppose to protect her and I couldn't. To keep from crying I adjusted my skirt. I was trying to look as professional as I could, with what I had brought with me. A black plain top tucked into a pleated white skirt and stockings. I felt like a school girl and grimaced at my appearance. It was days like this where I really looked at myself. Days where I felt at my lowest. Blonde hair that always looked stringy and straight... Maybe I could curl it? Nah... I thought as I pulled it into a half bun. I sucked in a deep breath and jumped lightly hearing a knock at the door. "Come on in." I said softly.

Jack's soft smile was the first thing that greeted me. Dressed in a dashing suit that he must of borrowed from Mark as it was pretty big on him. He was adamant that he come with me. I stifled a laugh and smiled. "Hey." He said softly. "How ya doing in here?" He asked coming up behind me in front of the mirror.

My smile slightly dipped. "I'm... I'm gonna be okay." I answered though I wasn't really sure.

Jack gave me a reassuring smile. "We can do this Jenna. It's gonna be okay. We're gonna get her back." He says kissing my head. I smiled softly but felt the tears sting my eyes. I only hope.

Almost an hour later I was sitting nervously in a overly cushioned chair figiting with the hem of my skirt. Jack sitting in the chair next to me as a man who looked cold and meticulous cleared his throat. "So, Miss Beamer. You're fighting for custody for your sister against your parents. You say they are abusive and don't care for her, but... You have no proof." He murmured.

I swallowed hard. "W-well..." I started. "My friend can write up a statement about it, she has seen the bruises, and she has been to the house."

He sighed. "Do you have any photographic evidence?" He said looking through his paperwork.

I glanced at Jack. I'm losing this battle. "N-no."

"Have you called social services?"

Another gulp. "N-no...but-"

"What do you expect me to do?" The lawyer asked. "Just go in front of the judge and ask nicely?" He huffed clearly getting annoyed. I went to speak but he cut me off. "Miss Beamer, I only take cases if there is a possibility of a win. I'm sorry but I can't help you."

I felt my heart drop. I sighed and glanced at Jack but he wasn't talking the defeat. "You sack of tits."

That took both me and the lawyer by surprise. "Excuse me?"

Jack stood. "She came here for your help because she knows what has happened to her and what could happen to get sister. Who is very young mind you. And all you say is there it's nothing you can do?!"

I gripped his hand. "Jack please... We will just find someone else..." I said softly.

The lawyer glared. "I think it's best you leave, before I call security."

Jack glared as I tugged his arm. "We are leaving." I say as I pull him out the door.

Just outside a mousy woman with to big glasses and pulled back hair nearly bumped into us. "Oh oh goodness gracious. Pardon me. Um, I don't mean to eavesdrop but are you looking for a lawyer?"

I nodded as Jack looked at her. "Do you think you can help us?"

She took my hand. "I grew up in an abusive household. I don't care the odds, why don't you two take a step into my office and we will get this sorted."

A breath of relief. The only one that has been had all daY, came from both Jack and I... Please, please let this go right.
