Staring into my eyes Joshua leaned in and kissed me. "I'm sorry I couldn't control myself Isabella but he.... He could have walked free and that man was going to help him." Joshua looked as if he was going to cry or even snap at any second. Taking his face in my hands I made him look at me, really look at me.

"Joshua calm down baby. It wasn't your fault and truthfully I don't really know what happened, everything happened so fast. All I know is that Jaxon had paid people off somehow. Joshua I freaked out and I don't know why or even who it was that grabbed my wrist.  I was just so scared." I stopped not knowing what I was actually saying because so much crap was running through my head; it was as if my head had been whipped inside a raging tornado.

"It was a police officer." Joshua was now full out laughing at my shocked face. I had punched and kicked a police officer. "Oh my god they are going to lock me up and throw away the key and...and oh my god Joshua." I rambled on while full out panicking.

Joshua however was still laughing at me. I slapped him hard "Here I am ready to be locked up and you're bloody laughing! What is wrong with you?" I screamed. Joshua held his hands up in surrender but still continued to laugh. "I'm sorry but your face..." I slapped him again whilst stomping my foot.

"Ok..ok..." Joshua wrapped his arms around me tightly so I couldn't hit him again. Then when he calmed down from his fits of laughter he spoke up.

"First off, you're not going to be locked up because if you were, they would've locked you up already. Now calm down. Our lawyer and the police officer you attack have already spoken and agreed that no charges needed to be pressed. If it makes you feel any better, the police office you attacked actually apologized for grabbing hold of you the way he did. Now let's get something to eat because I have a feeling, today is going to be a very long day." With that we left to join up with the rest of our friends. I still felt slightly panicked however, it did make me laugh a little that the poor officer I attacked actually apologized to me.

Once in the restaurant, Joshua began telling everyone about what had happened. As well as the part where the police officer sent an apology to me. When in all reality I was the one who should've been apologizing. Elle and Paul being their normal crazy selves thought it was hilarious. Hell even Lisa and Jack were laughing so much that I couldn't help myself but laughing along with them. Even though I was still a bundle of nerves, it felt good to laugh. It was as if all the fear and built up tension was dissolving but not only for me but for every one of us.

Before we knew it, it was time to go back to the dreaded court. Lisa Elle Jack and Paul all refused to go home and came back with us but instead of being in the room with us as I wanted, they waited outside. To say they were all raging would be an understatement. The normally calm Jack was out for blood, Jaxon's at that. With one last hug from everyone Joshua and I made our way towards the room.

Joshua and I walked into the room and although I knew I was going to come face to face with Jaxon, I no longer cared. He wasn't going to scare me! I hadn't done anything wrong and he had already caused me so much heartache and pain that I was no way in hell; going to let him see me how scared I actually was. On that last thought, I straightened my shoulders and walked into the room as if I was out for the kill. Which I was because now Jaxon was going to see a side of me that neither he, nor anyone including myself had ever seen.

As I stood there waiting for Jaxon and the judge to enter the room; I kept mentally reassuring myself that I could do this. Joshua was trying everything to get me to sit down but I just stood there preparing myself for their entrance. I needed to stay focussed because the last thing I needed right now was to fall to pieces right in front of Jaxon. I could just imagine him laughing at me, if he saw how petrified he makes me feel. My thoughts were stopped dead as the door behind me opened.

'Keep strong, he can't touch me, I can do this.' I chanted mentally as I heard the chains clink as Jaxon walked into the room.

I wanted to look at him and show him he had no effect on me what so ever but I quickly stopped myself. I may feel strong but I knew deep down that the second our eyes met I would be a complete mess. Jaxon cleared his throat and began making hissing noises as well as doing everything he could to get my attention. Joshua began fidgeting beside me and I could tell he wanted nothing more than to get up and shut Jaxon up but I ignored Jaxon and got Joshua to focus on me instead. Giving Joshua a quick peck on the lips I smiled as I looked down at him. "Ignore him." I whispered as I leaned in and gave him another quick kiss.

The room wasn't as scary as the other one we were in earlier. It was just like any normal office but only bigger and more formal. The judge walked in and before she took her seat which was at the top end of a large desk like table, she spoke up. "I want this ended today if possible, so no more arguing" she nodded sternly towards both lawyers.

"And there will be no jury" at this Jaxon started shouting abuse at the judge. "Mr Hudson. I should advise you now to get your client under control before I lock him up for disruptive behaviour." With that said Jaxon's lawyer slapped Jaxon. Jaxon however shut his mouth but continued to mumble abuse.

"Now while I've read and have seen some of the most disturbing pictures I have ever seen, I am willing to hear your side Mr Jaxon." Mr Jaxon? I mentally thought but as I looked over at Jaxon, I noticed he was now standing up looking as cocky as ever. I shuddered at the sight of him but kept it well and truly hidden.

"I would first like to say that I am NOT GUILTY as it was all Isabella's fault." My blood boiled as he spoke. "Isabella called me up and asked me to come over to her house, where she then started to abuse me both physically and verbally." I wanted to leap across the table and batter him. "That's a lie" I screamed out in temper.

"See she can't even keep her temper in, in here. She is mentally disturbed but only she hides it well." As much as I knew I needed to keep my mouth shut, I just couldn't but Joshua quickly covered my mouth before I could scream any more abuse at Jaxon. I could feel the judge's eyes on me but I couldn't for the life of me take my eyes off of Jaxon's lying cheating disgusting face.

Jaxon turned to face me and winked while smiling. He was so good at this false act he was putting on that I wanted to slap everyone out of the trance that Jaxon had so obviously put them in. Then as he turned back to face the judge he looked like he was literally petrified of me and acting all upset. It was as if my entire body was ready to explode.

"I loved her so much that I really tried everything to make our relationship work but I just couldn't live being so scared of her all the time. Not knowing when she was going to blow up or attack me next." I turned to face the judge only to be horrified to see that she was really buying all his bull crap.

Joshua's grip on my hand grew stronger as he tried to stop me from getting up and giving Jaxon a piece of my mind. For the first time in my life, well maybe the second, I wanted to kill him with my own bare hands. I even wanted to scream at the judge for even believing his vicious lies.

*******************

I hated Jaxon before but now God, there is no words to describe just how much!!!

What did you think of Isabella attacking the police officer? lol

All i can say is thank god Joshua and Isabella noticed that something  was off.

How did Jaxon pay them off?  and how will they ever find out who was paid off?
