The following week was crazy busy and very emotionally exhausting.

Chris and I finished packing up everything and as we were finishing up, a buyer interested in the place came by and Chris snuck out back to make sure that they wouldn't see him.

So after they left, we made sure everything was packed and we had what we needed for the rest of the week before Chris booked a motel for us for a few days til our court date.

The few days at the motel were amazing, it was like taking a tiny vacation. It was just us, no distractions or interruptions. We were glued to each other practically.  We watched movies and tv and ate take out and what the motel offered and we made love so much. Chris had to go out and buy a new pack of condoms we were going at it so much.

I wouldn't change it though. We were lost in our world and with each touch or caress we were deeper in that world.

Then came the court date and I was putting on actual nice clothes, I dreaded seeing his face, seeing the killer he was.

As we walked into the court house the cameras and paps were blinding and I squeezed Chris's hand tighter. I was scared and I could feel an anxiety/panic attack threatening to come out and I wanted to cry and go back to the motel or head to Chris's house already.

My father was the main lawyer in this care and he knew how toxic this person was when were together. Chris kissed my forehead.

"You got this sweetheart. After this we can leave this behind and live in Boston with me. I love you so much and I'll be sitting behind you okay. We're all on your side here.

I look and see my mom and Layla sitting in the first row behind me. I hug Chris and he smiles as best as he can without crying himself. I take my spot and my dad comes in and sits next to me.

"I know your scared sweetheart, but I've got enough evidence to put him away and you can be free of this".

"I know. I'm just scared dad".

"I know".

"All rise".

We stood up and the judge walked up and took her seat. I was so happy there was a female judge. We took our seat and I watched my father present his case and the other lawyer as well.

I gave my testimony first and then sat down.

Then he came out and the way he stared at me like I was a piece of meat, make me start to cry and shake.
I couldn't breathe when he started talking about how I wanted everything and I was just an attention seeking whore.

I was having an attack and I couldn't get it under control. I fell out of the chair I was in and I couldn't tell who saved me from hitting the ground.

"Shhh sweetheart, it'll be okay. I'll protect you. I got you. Just breathe for me sweetness. You gotta breathe. Your done. We can almost go home. We're going to the hospital okay. Can you breathe for me. There we go, in and out. Deep breaths. You're doing so well baby. We'll be in Boston tonight okay. I'll drive all night to make sure you're okay and safe."

I open my eyes and I see Chris and he's crying. He's holding me in his arms and he's on the carpet.

"That's it beautiful. I got you. It's okay".

"Is the trial over?".

"Yes, he's going away for a long time. For what he did to you. You're safe baby."

"I'm sorry Chris-".

"No, don't apologize beautiful. You've been through so much. I'm proud of you. Now let's pack your stuff up in that truck and be on our way to our home.

Our home.

Our home.

It would be our home.

The future of us would be in that house.

Once the boxes were loaded I said goodbye to my parents and hugged them.

"Take care of our little girl Chris", said my father.

"Always sir. She's the love of my life".

He shut the back up and got in and I got in.

"To Boston and our future", he said kissing my forehead.

I waved to my parents and my town goodbye.
