Confessions of a Queen Bee

Chapter 34

*it may be a tad boring but it's kinda a filler and to explain some of the legal stuff. Which also is very hard to research because the internet is afraid of the word sexual assault. 

Anyway enjoy this and i believe it really highlights how important Jayden's friendship to Ivy will be in her recovery and so i kinda love this chapter.

 even though Jackson's not in it and i miss him.

 But dw another update coming soon and i promise he will be in it. :))*

I run and slam the door shut and slide down it my hands clutched to my chest.

"Jesus Christ Ivy, I thought you called them?" Jayden says and I look up at him in confusion... them? Who?

Oh shit.

Slowly getting to my feet I look out our blinds and see two men stood in uniform. I should have been relieved but I think my body is in a permanent state of fear because I was still afraid to open the doors.

"Ivy James? Mr and Mrs James? We have come here in regards to your daughter's protection against Layton Wright." The officer says through the door and Jayden frowns in confusion.

"Lotta said that Layton was spotted in the area." I explain to Jay my voice weak to my own ears.

He nods towards the front door. "Ives" he says sympathetically" let's let the police in then."

Oh, shit yeah.

I nod and walk back towards my front room letting Jayden greet the police and introduce himself. Sitting on my couch and hiding my face in my hands. What does this mean now?

The two officers sit opposite and I can hear them explaining how there's another patrol car outside monitoring the area but they're going to stay with us, or at least outside the building until they catch him. Apparently from my statement they have reason to believe he would seek me out again and that if he does I may be in danger. 

It honestly feels as if I'm listening to them talk to me underwater. Their voices muffled by a bubble of my own anxiety.

"Jayden can you get my parents' home." I hope I don't need to give him more direction than that. I feel so mentally drained I can't even comprehend this. This is what I've been so scared about. That if Layton did manage to get to me, I couldn't go through that again.

"Yeah of course." He gently takes his hand out of mine, which I hadn't realised I'd been holding and goes and gets my own phone. He has my parents' numbers or well he used to. But they will definitely answer if it's a call from me and I guess he knows that. He puts in my password and excuses himself from the room, making his way into the back garden to tell my parents the news.

"Ivy, how are you doing? Your parents are coming but Lotta also gave us permission to contact your support worker or your psychiatrist if needed." The guy across from me says, his name badge reading Geoffrey. What a name.

"where is Lotta?" I ask, I would feel a lot more comfortable if she was here. I'm not going to try and make Mrs Granger or Dr Halpin come to my rescue right now. I had learned how to deal with these feelings, pretty much at least.

"She's at the station. She will be on her way over as soon as she cements everything in place for your protection and for Layton's warrant for arrest."

"You really think you'll get him today?" I ask

The second guy Neil speaks up "This guy has really challenged us in the sense he just seems to disappear. But he is top priority today like there's nothing bigger going on than trying to get him."
