Real Life Nightmare

Bella's POV

I woke up but I didn't want to get out of bed as soon as I remembered what today was. I was supposed to testify against Ryan today. I was originally supposed to testify a month ago but my mom was able to get the judge to postpone it because I said I wasn't ready. I still didn't feel ready and today was the worst possible day for me to do this. One year ago to the exact date my dad was in court because he illegally prescribed pills to a minor. I tried to go back to sleep. Before I could fall back asleep my mom walked into my room.

"Bella, you have to get out of bed." Melissa said

"I would rather go to school." I said

"I already got the judge to change the date once and getting him to change it again isn't going to be easy." Melissa said

"Please try to get him to change it." I said

"Bella, If you don't testify the judge can decide to throw out the case. If he did that Ryan would be free and I know you don't want that." Melissa said

"I can testify tomorrow or any other day that is not today." I said

"Why not today?" Melissa asked

"Last year on this day dad went to jail." I said

"I realize that Bella but there isn't much I can do." Melissa said

I decided to get up and get dressed so I could get this over with. I got to the courthouse right on time. My mom was the only one there with me. I saw my aunt Spencer but she was at the courthouse for work. Since my aunt was a family lawyer she probably had some sort of custody case to be at. She did take a minute out of her work day to say hello. Depending on how today goes Ryan could go to jail for up to 5 years

The court session began and all I wanted was for it to be over. It wasn't long before I had to speak.

"What can you say about what happened Bella? The judge asked

"Ryan isn't telling the complete truth. He had sex with me twice and I didn't want it either time." I said

"Is it true that you were drunk when this happened both times?" The judge asked

"I was only drunk the first time." I said

"Why were you drinking Bella?" The judge asked

"I was upset about something that happened between my cousin JT Cavanaugh and my best Deylia Rivers. When Ryan and I had sex in my car I was really drunk. I didn't know what was going on and it wasn't until afterwords that I realized what happened." I said

"What about the second time?" The Judge asked

"The second time was the day before thanksgiving. Ryan was living at my house because my mom and his dad are dating. I was upset because my best friend Deylia Rivers cancelled our plans that day to hang out with her then boyfriend JT Cavanaugh and Ryan told me he would make me feel better. I fell for it but at the time I didn't think he meant sex." I said

"Are your mom and Ryan's dad still dating? The judge asked

"Yes." I said

"What did you think Ryan meant that day when he said he would make you feel better?" The judge asked

"I thought Ryan wanted to make me a meal or something to cheer me up." I said

"Did you try and stop Ryan at all when things went further then you wanted?" The judge asked
