EMMA

"Can you please hurry up I need to get to work I have to get to court today"

I don't what she's doing in there she probably getting dressed. She knew that she has to get to school today.

She is always late and they only thing she does is to play video games in her room.

"I'm coming be patient."  She screams so loudly she is so childish sometimes she's only 17 years old. I love her so much even though she's moody sometimes.

My mother was having some problems when she had me. She lost 2 babies when she was pregnant the doctors couldn't find out what happened to her. They tried 18 years to have a baby and they did have my sister Ashley.

My sister sees me has her mother and I'm so much older than her her I mean our mother died when she was only 4 years and I was 21. She does remember my mother a little bit whr she looks like her she got or mother's brown hair and eyes.

She comes in the dining area running and taking her lunch bag.

"I love you so much you always thinking about me"  I roll my eyes at her sarcastic tone.

"You lucky because I was making mine it was a one time thing."  She's been living with me for 3 weeks and I swear she's getting pretty lazy now.

She wa living with my father and he was abusing her. My father is a troublemaker ever since my mother died he has been an alcoholic . He didn't accept my mother's death and I swear I understand him it was his wife and he love her so much. He didnt take it really good that our mother died. He really loved our momma.

As soon as we buried her he lost his job and all his things. He depended on alcohol he lost his money on gambling and drinking alcohol. He is an alcoholic now I swear every time I bail him out of jail because of his problems with the law. He owns a lot of money and he gets in trouble everytime.

My sister was living with him because I just got divorced and I didn't know that he was like this. He used to beat up my sister and abused her everyday she was always cleaning the house for him when he's drunk.

When my sister ran away to go to her friend's home I didn't know that the situation was like this. She wanted to sell my sister for his own payments and she wanted my sister to entertain his friends by sleeping with them. I mean who does that to his own daughter that's really disgusting

When my sister told me the whole story I felt really guilty because I didn't really paid a lot of attention to my sister. I was not checking up on her. I was dealing with my own divorce and I didn't like that I paid too much attention to the divorce than to my own sister.

She was almost raped by my father's friend. I don't think I want to know what would happened to her mentally and physically if they did raped her.

I really cried that day because I didn't know what would happened to her. My mother's grave must be turning because of all the things our father did. He turned our family really bad. He always used or mothers death as an excuse to his alcohol addiction and that's really disgusting me because my mother didn't choose to have breast cancer. I don't want to thing about my father now I need to keep up a straight face for my sister. I must be strong.

I arrived at my sister's school and dropped her off.

"Okay bye I will see you later have a good day"

"Bye."  I frown at her voice. She's always down and I swear I need to talk to her and get her to talk to a therapist so she can have some peace.

I arrived in court today it's the last day of the trial and I'm so nervous even though I know it's all good. My client got involved in a murder scene and I'm here to represent my client and to defend.

The court is already filled up with people the lawyer comes up.

"All rise up."  The officer speaks up.

...

We get into the end of the trial as we wait for the judge to speak up.

"The defence is not found guilty."

I'm so happy to hear that. I love doing my job. My clients is so happy now and I'm relieved that this case ended. It's was making me so tired.

I choose to study criminal law because I want to make a difference. I love being a defense attorney I'd because I can protect the right of others. One day I want to open my own organization do that I can help people with their problems.

I spend a lot of time doing my work. I was married before the divorce was finalized earlier this year. As you can see I'm so stressed with my sister and I'm really relieved about my divorce.

I was married for 10 years. Dean Robbie was my first love and it was an arranged marriage made because of our parents were friends. Some people can be surprised when I tell them that I only had one partner. I was married when I was 25 years and I was still a virgin.

At first I was angry with my parents they had no right to get married to a person that I didn't knew. I got used to being a wife and he was really nice to me. But he's behavior started to get out of hand. He manipulated me, he isolated me with my friends and family. He used to make feel disgust and dirty about myself. He made me felt less confidence and he used to insult me about my sexuality that I didn't know how to perform in bed. He emotionally abused me even though he didn't beat me up.

I knew he was cheating on me I always knew that I didn't want to get any type of diseases. I was protecting my self. We were already separated the difference is that we were still married.

I stopped sleeping with many years ago. It's been a dry spell all these years. I don't have any sexual frustrations because it's not on my mind I'm too busy for that. Dean was a cheater and I was glad that I ditched his ass.

All I want to do is to help my sister in this tough time for her. I want to focus on my future and my sister's future as well.

Of course. I want to settle down and to have a family but I'm not ready to start dating.

I go back to my office. There are some stuff that I need to do and go home. I hear my phone ringing and I see my sister's name on the screen.

"Hey Emms."  She talks

"I'm fine what do you need"  I answer to her.

"Can I please have a sleepover at Chloe's house tonight"

I thought she was not in the mood so hang out with people

"Are you sure that you are able to hang out with your friends"

"Yes I know how take of myself and I don't need you to act like you care about me you didn't even raised me so you don't have a have say."

"It's not like that are sure you can trust them?"

"Yes duh they're my friends and it's Friday so you can fetch me because you're not working."

"Okay I will fetch you and please make sure..."

"hello?"

Urgh she switched off her phone. She thinks I don't care about her.

I get back to my work and my phone rings again I answer it without seeing who's calling.

"Hello Ashley you can go to your friends"

"It's not Ash"  I hear a familiar stranded voice.

"What do you want you better stay away from us you disgraceful father"

"Help me I'm in trouble I think they will kill me. Hurry up I need you!!!"
