~A Couple Weeks Later~
I got up for school and decided to get dressed, Chloe was in the living room with me so we got dressed together.

We both wheeled out of the house and got into mom's car as she would be driving us to school for another week. We put our backpacks on the back of our chairs and just carried everything with us. It just felt redundant to go to our lockers when we could just carry all our stuff with us.

I was rolling to my class with Mariana beside me making sure I had a path. I looked at Mariana and she looked bothered, and it was concerning.
"You okay?" I asked as I got into class. She nodded but sighed,
"I saw you and Jesus cuddling and so did Emma, she thinks that you two are doing things and now she says she's not coming over anymore." Mariana said as if she just spit it all out,
"We aren't dating, I'd ask you before I did date any of your siblings." I said laughing as I took out all my stuff for English and smiled at Timothy,
"How are you feeling? I know you had a bit of a difficult time a little bit ago, I would like you to know that you can come to me whenever you'd like." He said, I nodded slowly as everyone joined the class and the class started.

After English I had gym which I can't participate, so I rolled in and worked on some stuff that I missed when I noticed Jesus run in, I smiled slightly before looking back down at my paper. While I was doing some math equations I heard a loud yell,
"Heads!" in which I looked up and saw Jesus coming toward me and he caught the ball that was flying toward my head and he stopped inches from my face, I let out a nervous giggle,
"Careful Court." He said softly with a smile before going back to the game.
"Jesus, stop being a worry wart!" I yelled with a laugh. I could see him smirk as he carried on with his basketball game.

After classes were over I started rolling to my car, or my mom's car, I'm only 15 and I was a half right after the incident so learning to drive hasn't happened yet. Jesus was pushing me with his things in my lap. I smirked slightly,
"Jesus. Hold up for a moment, I think you dropped something." I said, he abruptly stopped as I was able to stifle a giggle as I stood up and put his stuff in my chair, I watched him look around and then look back at me as I stood with my arms crossed,
"Courtney!" Jesus said with a smile of disbelief as he ran at me and picked me up by my waist and spun me around. I rolled my eyes and laughed,
"Don't be too surprised, at least now I'll be able to walk at your party after the trial." I said smiling before he hugged me,
"I thought you couldn't walk for another week!" He said in my ear,
"Mom and Chloe were helping me, Chloe was able to walk after the first week so she helped me started to walk and now I feel like me again." I said with a giggle as we let go and out of the corner of my eye I spotted Emma, she was glaring at me, "Go talk to Emma" I said before I handed Jesus his things and rolled my stuff to Mom's car and got in,
"Be careful when you stand, you know you're not fully healed until next week." She said with a warning look. All I could do was laugh,
"In 4 days I'm fully healed mom!" I said with a smile before I heard a knock on the window, it was Jesus. I rolled down the window as Chloe and Mom looked at him like he was crazy,
"I need a ride and quick, I think Mariana and Emma are working together and have some kind of conspiracy against me." Jesus said quickly and he looked scared, Chloe opened her door and let him in,
"What happened?" Mom asked curiously,
"So you saw my reaction when Courtney stood right?" He asked while we all nodded with smiles, "Well so did Emma and Mariana, they seem to really think there is something going on between Courtney and I." Jesus seemed really freaked out, I sighed,
"Nothing is going on, we are just friends and you saved my life so... what's the problem?" I asked annoyed that Mariana didn't believe me,
"What's bothering you?" Chloe asked as I looked out the window with a smile.
"Sometimes you just wish that you you could make the world stop and understand." I said softly,
"That was cryptic." Jesus said as I spotted him in the corner of my eye looking at me with a slight smile.
"Mariana. She asked me if anything was going on between Jesus and I and obviously said no and that I would ask her if I dated any of her siblings." I said softly trying to stay calm,
"I'll talk to her because she needs to trust us that nothing is happening." Jesus said softly as he put his hand on my shoulder and I nodded with a weak smile.

We arrived at the Adams Foster house and I opened my door and stand and say goodbye to Jesus.
"Good luck, I hope everything goes well." I said softly looking up at him as he blocked the sun and it seemed like he was glowing which made me smile more,
"I'll call you later and maybe pick you up is it's okay with moms and Ms Wyatt. Everything will be fine I promise." He said as he hugged me and let me get back in the car and he closed the door for me so I yelled out the window,
"You're such a gentleman!" He turned around and waved while laughing. I never let mom leave until I see him go through the door. Mom then drove us down the street and into our driveway where the ramp was gone and I think our beds were where they were supposed to be. I ran into the house with just my backpack and jumped onto my bed. For the first time in weeks I had my own room back.
"Courtney you have to pick out clothes for your court date in 5 days!" Mom yelled and I think she told Chloe to pick out clothes too because, Chloe was in her closet as I stood up to go in mine.

For around an hour we were throwing things back and forth between rooms and borrowing jewelry so that when the judge and lawyers looked at us we could be told apart. I am in red and Chloe is in black, I am wearing gold and Chloe is wearing silver. We only color coordinated with our outfits so that we could get our nails done the same color. I was wandering my room knowing I don't have anything to do until my phone started ring and I couldn't find it.
"Courtney I think I have your phone. Oh hey it's Jesus! Catch!" She yelled throwing my phone which I caught while dive bombing for it. I laid on the ground and answered,
"Hey." I said panting slightly,
"You okay?" He asked
"Yeah, just picking out clothes for Wednesday, my phone was in Chloe's room." I giggled
"Okay then, I'm coming over to bring you to the movies to celebrate you walking. Go put some comfy clothes on." Jesus said before hanging up. So I of course went and put on comfy clothes on like I was told.

I heard a knock on my bedroom door, I opened it quickly,
"Hey, Jesus is downstairs and ready to take you to the Movie theater." Mom said with a smile, I nodded and ran down stairs to see Jesus in sweatpants, a sweatshirt, and a beanie with Nike's on his feet. He wrapped his arm around me,
"Come on! Let's go, it's time to get to the movies or we'll miss it!" He said as we walked out and we went to the car, and he started driving.
We got to the movie theater pretty quickly,
"Two tickets to Civil War." Jesus said to the employee, he handed us our tickets and the smell of the jumbo popcorn wafted up to my nostrils and I was in heaven.
"Jesus you are amazing." I said with a smile as I looked up at him as we walked to our seats. We sat down and watched as the movie started,
"I just wanted you to realize that I'm so proud of you for healing so quickly and being so careful. I just hope that everything goes well on Wednesday." He said softly before the theater went fully silent. The avengers came on screen and were fighting. I felt Jesus wrap an arm around me and I leaned into him, we were sat there cuddling as we watched the movie.

After the movie Jesus and I went to leave but I saw a poster and wanted to take a picture with it, Jesus let me stand and take a picture,
"I'm so excited for your party!" I said as we walked outside,
"You are totally bypassing the trial and all that." Jesus said with a slight chuckle, I shrugged smiling as I felt the cool breeze hit my skin as I walked outside and looked at Jesus,
"Can you get me a slurpy?" I asked softly, Jesus broke out with a smile,
"What flavor this time?" He asked as he unlocked his car and opened the door for me, I got in and giggled as I looked at him,
"Cherry." I said with a smirk,
"Alright off we go!" He said as he drove me to the gas station and got out leaving me in the car so I locked it and waited for him to get back, I looked around and saw people who knew my dad and they seemed to have seen me, I was mentally begging Jesus to hurry up and get my slurpy. When Jesus came running out I thanked the lord that he was out in time for those men to see I was with someone,
"Hey is there something wrong?" Jesus asked, I nodded slowly,
"Yeah just, some people my dad knows." I said softly as I took the slurpy from his hand. I took a sip and smiled, "anyway, thanks for the slurpy!" I said happily as Jesus shrugged and started to drive home. Jesus put his hand on my leg for a moment as we pulled up to a stop light,
"You have no idea how much you inspire me to look past the negative." He said softly, I looked at him,
"Well I try to hide the scars and all but you're one of a few people who have seen them." I said softly, "I try to pretend that the hurt isn't there, or the negatives are just small bumps but I can't deny the fact that it hurts sometimes. I don't talk about, I just smile my way through so that no one worries." I stated looking at my hands as I placed one on top of Jesus'. The light turned green and Jesus moved his hand and started driving toward our neighborhood again,
"I can't believe you said all that, I want you to come over after school Monday, also I will invite you to a get together with Mariana and a few other people, to celebrate you being so brave." Jesus said as he pulled up to my house. I looked at him and smiled,
"I'll think about it." I said with a wink before I got out of the car and started to walk up the driveway when I stepped forward with my left foot and a shooting pain went up, I toppled over hold my left leg to my chest,
"Courtney!" I heard Jesus yell as he ran toward me and picked me up and walked up to the porch,
"What's going on?" Mom asked,
"Mommy. I was walking and then it just hurt! I've barely walked for almost a month!" I said softly as I sobbed while holding onto Jesus as he carried me,
"Go take her to her room, she clearly over worked her leg." Mom said urgently. Jesus just started running up the stairs and laid me on my bed and put pillows under my leg,
"I'm going to be fine!" I yelled looking at them doting on me as they took my shoes and socks off. It was overwhelming,
"What's going on?" Chloe asked groggily as she walked into my room,
"Nothing everything is fine." I said softly as I rubbed my temples trying to rid myself from the on coming headache Jesus rounded my bed and sat next to me,
"You can be honest. You always can be with me." He said softly as Mom and Chloe left to let me rest,
"I'm scared." I choked out softly as I started sobbing into his shoulder,
"Courtney it's okay to be scared, just tell me what it is" He said as he rubbed my arm holding me close to him, I took a deep breath,
"The trial, I'm scared my testimony will be dismissed because I'm in emotional distress or something. I just want justice for Chloe and I, I want to make sure he never gets out again for what he's done. Not just last month but through my life, cheating on mom, abusing her in so many ways. I'm beyond scared Jesus." I said as I sobbing looking up at my ceiling as I laid over my covers holding onto Jesus,
"I'll be there, I'll be testifying. You called me, I know how scared you sounded and you rarely sound like that, I know you need all this. Everyone is here for you Court. Just remember." He said softly, I nodded slowly as my eyes felt heavier and heavier,
"I'm really tired, you can go home when you want." I said softly as I started close my eyes,
"I'm not leaving you." Jesus said softly as he put a blanket over the two of us and wrapped an arm around me.
