Lisa's trial

Micheal's POV

It's the day of Lisa's trail and I'm really worried about Leanne being there today. Not just because of Lisa being there, but because of what she might say. It's taken Leanne a really long time to deal with everything that's happened. She doesn't have panic attacks anymore, but she's still grieving for her parents and trying to come to terms with everything and I'm worried that her being there is going to bring back all those emotions and cause her to go backwards.

"You know you really don't have to go today" I say softly going into the bedroom and Leanne is still getting ready. "The lawyer said you don't have to give evidence anymore. Not now that Lisa has change her plea back to guilty"

"I know I don't have to be there, but I can't just stay here and sit around going crazy waiting to hear from you and wondering what's going on"

"I can always ask Janet to stay here with you. That way you won't be alone and you won't be thinking about it at all" I suggest and she walks over, wrapping her arms around me an pecks my lips.

"I appreciate what your trying to do, but I'm gonna be thinking about it the whole time regardless of who's with me. I need to do this"

"Well you know you can changed your mind at anytime. Even during the trail you can just get up and leave anytime you want if it gets to much"

"I know" she smiles slightly then sighs. "Do you think they'll let her go?"

"I wish I could tell you, but I honestly don't know" I mumble then pull her in close to me. "But whatever happens, we'll get through it together ok?" I smile slightly and she does the same.

"I should finish getting ready" she sighs breaking away turns and goes back to what she was doing.

I wish I could tell her everything is going to be ok and that Lisa will stay locked up, but even the lawyers are saying there's a chance she could be released today and Leanne needs to be prepared incase that happens.

As much as I'm worried about Lisa's trail, I'm more worried about Mary's which is coming up in then next month. We haven't spoken much about it because the few times we have Leanne starts closing up and panicking so I'm trying not to mention it as much right and get Lisa's trail out of the way first.

We haven't heard back from Emma yet and I'm really hoping that she manages to get a confession from her because with that alone Mary will be going away for a long time. It won't bring back Leanne's parents back or changed what's happened on the past, but it will help give her closer and she won't have that fear of Mary coming after her anymore.

Emma's POV

As i'm waiting for Mary, I'm sat shaking desperately trying to compose myself. As much as this woman still terrifies me I can't let her see that if, I want this confession from her. I've been thinking all night about how to do this and I realised that the best way to do this is to make Mary think I'm not scared of her anymore because Mary feeds off people's fear and if she's sees I'm still scared of her then she won't need to say anything.

The door opens and I take a deep breath bracing myself as she walks in.

She doesn't say anything and I look over to check the gaurd is still watching through the glass window. "So... was there something you wanted or did you just come here to waste my time" Mary says and I turn my attention back to her.

"I um..."

"Well?" She shrugs "I've got better things to do that sit here staring at some filthy old whore" she scrunches her face at me.

"That's the best you got?" I shrug, trying not to look intimidated by her. "I just came here to see for myself that your rotting away in here where you deserve" I smirk.
