Lilly

16

Lilly was awaken by the sunlight coming through the window that the blind had been raised
" Time to Rise and Shine Doodlebug "
" Jack " Lilly says her voice cracks slightly
"Yes Love its me now you don't sound very good this morning " Jack says as he moves her hair out of her face.

Lilly looks over to where she thought Liam would be but that side of the bed was empty when she reached out with her hand it was cold so she knew he had been gone awhile.

"I'll go fix you some hot tea with honey you go shower your clothes for the day are on the bed We have a Judge to see at 11 " Jack said .

Breakfast was quite there were few words spoke Lilly was lost in her own world giving herself a pep talk that she could do this that once this was over she would move to a small town out west maybe pick back up photography again to make a living or something anything to have a normal life.

" Lilly come on it's 10 and we have to be there by 11 "Henry said as he tapped Lilly on the shoulder bringing her back to the current reality .

"Oh okay let me grab my purse "
"Already have it Doodlebug " Jack said hold it out for her to take .

Once they arrived at the Courthouse she saw Owen , Axel, Raven and North.

North came over to the car " Go around back to the underground parking then we will meet you in the lobby "

Walking to the Elevator Lilly could feel her heart pounding in her ears
Henry took Lilly's hand
" Beauty Just breath everything will be okay We are all here for you "He says then squeezes her hand
" Thank you "
" Anytime Beauty "

They waited in the Judges Chambers for Judge Harold Jackson , the Judges Assistant came in several times to make sure that everyone had what they needed.

The door opens and The Judge comes in , Everyone stands up in respect to him.

" Have a seat , Owen this must be serious if you are here and not one of your associates "
" It is Harold , Lilly Here has been assaulted since she was 6 by her Father when she was 15 he raped her got her pregnant then caused her to deliver early Killing the child in front of her then he was arrested on other charges for several years he was incarcerated just a few months ago he broke into the home she was living in assaulted her left her in the basement of the home as you can see from the reports from Dr Roberts along with Dr Green the busted knee and broken wrist there are other injuries I come before you to have a permanent restraining order places again him " Owen says

" You do know Lilly that if I do this that he will know where you are living "The Judge says

"No she will have listed the business address any inquires will go through the firm " Owen says

"Lilly is this what you want "

"Yes your Honor it is I do fear for my life because of what he has done to me " Lilly tells the Judge

"Let me ask where is your mother"

" In Jail for drug charges that my father should have gone to jail for and she is no better than him well she didn't rape me ,kill my baby in front of me but she beat me just as much as he did" Lilly tells him.

"I think A temporary one is appropriate for now it will be a 90 day one for now , I do see here that he filled out a missing persons on her , How long has it been theses pictures "
" Over 6 months ago  "
" Evelyn could you pull the records of Mr Perry Moore I want to know where he has been in the last 6 months " The Judge says into an intercom
"Yes sir I will have it to you in a moment "
" He posted a Video of the abuse just the other day from when he broke her wrist it was found on the Dark Web via a Computer Expert " Owen says.

A few moments later Evelyn came in with a pile of papers

The judge read through them.

"I with all that you have told me and the amount of time he has been arrested for different charges from assault on a police officer, reckless driving , drugs the list goes on I think a permanent one is more at Adequate for this situation if at any point he comes near you call the police this will cover the whole state of South Carolina And even if you go out of state the order will be seen " The Judge says.

" Thank you Sir " Lilly says

"Lilly   I hope this gives some peace but as a Judge for the past 25 yrs I know that men like your father don't care about a piece of paper I would enroll in Self Defense classes , Up any security around the place you live even with this order be on your guard " The Judge says.

" I understand and I have been doing classes and I am taking a class for my concealed weapons permit " Lilly says

" Good , Owen I hope not to see this in any court room "
" Me too Your Honor "

Leaving the Judges chambers the papers have been signed and filed with the courts.  A letter will be sent to Lilly's Father to show that he is not to have any contact with her
Lilly knew the Judge is right This isn't going to Stop him if any thing it might anger him but she will be ready hopefully.

" I need to use the bathroom " Lilly says as they approached the bathrooms
" Go we will wait " Owen said

Going in she knew that she needed to go but she was going to use this time to breath and maybe let go for a moment to relieve the tension in her body .
Locking the stall door she uses the bathroom and sits there breathing in and out slowly almost like a ragged breath.
The tears form in her eyes wiping them way with the toilet paper
Giving herself a moment or two to feel then she finishes up her business .

Stepping out the bathroom she doesn't see anyone but she does hear them around the corner but before she could step around she heard his voice

" So this is where I find you "

Lilly freezes , fear grips her for a second

When his hand touches her shoulder she shivers in disgust

Turning around to face him she sees the wear of being a drunk drug Addict on his face

" What do you want " Lilly growls
" For you to come home with me so I can finish teaching you "
" NO" Lilly yells it echos in the hallway
She hears footsteps coming up behind her
Her father sees who is coming and takes off running towards stairs.

There is a blur that runs by her towards the direction her father just ran too.

Arms come around her waist pulling her to them
" Piccolo it's okay I got you he's gone now " Harry says holding her tightly to him

Lilly could feel her heart beating wildly she tightened her hold on Harry she was scared
" Piccolo I know your scared I can feel you shaking I got you my sweet piccolo "

" Pull the video feeds now Between Corey ,  Victor find out where an when he got here , Jack is chasing him now Kota you stay with him Axel is heading out the front to see if he comes out the underground parking garage " Owen was parking in the phone

When Lilly finally looked it was only Harry , Owen and herself left in the hallway every one else went chasing
" Lets take you to see the girls , Silas is coming down the street he will take you  to the house then we will talk " Owen says motioning for them to move .

When Harry let Lilly go so she could get into the Car with Silas he gave her a kiss a sweet soft kiss on the lips
" Piccolo go see the girls talk to them and we will be there soon "
