Jordyn's POV

"Hey Jordyn." My Lawyer, Andrea Bryant, says. "You ready?"

Today is the day of the trial against my ex for domestic abuse and a bunch of other charges. Luckily the Judge banned camera's from the courtroom so the people that subscribe to me won't see any of the trial.

The trial is happening in New York because I lived with my ex in NYC. After SheBelieves Toby, Christen, and I went to the NYC police and I showed them all of the evidence I have on my ex then they took it from there.

In a few days the girls play their last send off game, but most of them are here to support me which is nice. After the trial Kelley said she and the girls are gonna take me to do whatever I want to do.

I really like Kelley...and her kisses.

"I actually have a question." I write on my notepad.

"What's up?"

"Can we put another chair next to me for Toby?"

"Is that okay with you?" Andrea asks.

"Yes." Toby says.

The three of us then walk into the court room and sit at our table. I sit in-between Andrea and Toby. My ex and her Lawyer then come in and I can feel her eyes on me, but I don't look up. We stand when the judge comes in then sit down as the trial starts.

While the trial is going on I sit in my seat, play with Toby's fingers, and tune everything out.

I trust my lawyer and Toby to get things done.

"Lunch time Jordyn." Toby says and kisses my head.

"That seemed quick." I say.

"Yeah. You were pretty occupied with my fingers."

"Yeah...I don't really like hearing all of this stuff."

"I understand...Stay here for a second." Toby says then gets up and leaves.

She then comes back 30 seconds later with Ash.

"Okay so I need you to walk in between me and Ash." Toby says.

I get up and walk in-between them and we follow a group of girls to a private room.

When we enter the room I realize all of Toby's National team teammates are here.

"You sit down I'll get us food." Toby says.

I nod then go sit down next to Christen and a couple seconds later Toby brings me the food. I eat then zone out and when I zone back in I notice I'm back in the court room in-between Toby and Andrea and before the trial resumes I pull out my notepad.

"How am I suppose to talk when I testify." I write then show Andrea.

Andrea ponders for a minute then stands up getting everyone's attention

"Permission to approach the bench your honor?" Andrea asks.

The judge nods and Andrea approaches the bench and talks to the judge.

"I need everyone except the defendant to approach the bench." The judge says.

I look at Toby and she stands up and holds her hand out. I take her hand and the two of us walk up to the judge.

"Hi Jordyn my name's Judge Clarke." The judge says.

I just smile.

"What is all of this about your honor?" My ex's lawyer asks.
