My Life as an Upcoming Star with a Couple Setbacks {ft. Fifth Harmony}

Chapter 6

*Jessicas Pov*

I woke up to someone gently rubbing my backs and whispering into my ear to wake up. I tiredly rub my eyes and o look up to see Lauren, "Hey girly it's 10:30 and it's going to be a long day so I figured I'd wake you up.". I nod and ask where the restroom is, she shows me and as I'm about to close the door she kept it open with foot. I give her a questioning look and she explained that she didn't know what happened but she doesn't want to let me out of her sight until she knows what happened so I'm safe, I understand I told her and she turned around so I could do what k had to do and washed my hands.

When I was done she grabbed my hand and led me downstairs where all the girls where sitting on the couch. I was pulled in between Lauren and Camila when Ally decided to speak up.

"Hey look I know we haven't known each other for that long but can you please explain what happened last night? We're all very worried!" she questioned.

I felt Camila grab my hands and take them into her own rubbing them gently with the pad of her thumb instantly soothing me, like a mother and her child. It seemed like they really cared and I've never told anyone this before so here I go.

"Well it all started when I was seven, my mom was on her way to pick me up from school when a careless driver went into the wrong lane and crashed into her car, my mother taking all the impact died instantly."

I explains with tears threatening to fall, I felt Lauren's hand rubbing my back comfortably and I continued..

"My father went into a depressive state and worked all day long, then would come home and get drunk. He-He started blaming m-me for her death
a-and started t-to b-beat me." By now I had tears running down my face and with a squeeze of my hands from Camila it urged me to go deeper.

"He would u-use a b-belt and whip m-me, every.single.night for years!" I can feel the anger building up and I was starting to get mad, very mad.

"I didn't drive the car, I didn't crash into her, I didn't ask for this." Sobs racked through my body and I was shaking uncontrollably, my body was lifted into Camilas lap and I buried my face into her chest. She whispered sweet nothings into my ear and eventually I calmed down.

"You don't deserve anything that's happened to you and we're gonna take care of it I promise you, you're lucky I didn't get a chance to meet this son of a bitch or he wouldn't know what hit him." the Polynesian girl gritted through her teeth.

"We need to report this and head to the police station, like right now. As long as you're with us from now on, we won't let anyone touch a hair on your little head." Normani exclaimed.

I tried to protest but they said it was for the best, I was really scared what if he didn't go to jail I don't want to go back there.

I looked up at Camila and and whispered "Please, please don't make me go back I'll do anything please." she whispered back "Not even over my dead body would that man touch you again."

I finally felt safe somewhere for the first time in my life and I would have to say it felt pretty dam good, I soon realized Lauren hasn't said a word yet and i worriedly looked over to her. Her head was in her hands and her body was shaking slightly was she.. no she couldn't be.. was she crying?!

I quickly got up and went over to her, she instantly grabbed me and tightly embraced me. "This is not okay this will never be okay, that man is sick and he doesn't deserve a child like you ever. You're never EVER going to get hurt again because of that man or anyone else while I'm in your life, and I can't even imagine what you've been through. I love you so much please please never ever think you did a thing wrong because you didnt. Okay?" the green eyes beauty questioned.

I nodded and our embrace lasted a couple more minutes before I wiped her tears away and she got her keys, "Were going to the station now!" She grabbed my hand and we piled into the car, as soon as we got there they asked us what our emergency was.

*Laurens Pov*

"Yes mam what's your emergency?"

"We have a case of child abuse."

"Let's get you into the back room now, come along officer Kelly will be in with you in a moment."

We were lead to a room with couches and some snack, not letting Jess' hand go for a moment we sat down. Eventually the sheriff came in and questioned us, we explained the whole story and as evidence Jess showed her bruises. A few years were shed and about a half an hour later we were informed some police officer had arrested him and he was to be sentenced to jail.

"Now sweetie we will have to put you into a care home since you have no other family relations, hopefully a wonderful family will come and adopt you okay I can take you to get some of our things." the officer recited as if she'd said it a million times before.

About a second later Jessicas sobs could be heard from Canada when I made a quick rash decision, I knew instantly it's for the best and I would never regret it. I carefully lifted Jess off the floor and spoke up.

"You're not taking her she's mine, I'm adopting her show me where to sign."
