As Nick is being dragged out of the dressing room by the police, Clinton tried charging at him.
"You son of a bitch!" He yelled with rage.
"Clinton stop! Don't worry about him. Its Stacy we need to worry about." John said as he held him back.
Clinton broke loose from him and ran into her dressing room. He saw Stacy sitting on the floor wrapped in a robe crying.
"Stacy..."He said and got down to the floor with her.
She didn't say anything but just fell into his arms cry.
"Oh Stacy...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry" he said as he held her tighty and his heart began to break into zillions of pieces.
John fallowed in shortly after and was devistated to see her in such bad shape. He also got down on the floor with her to help comfort her.
"Stacy...can you tell us what happened?"Clinton asked
Stacy didn't say anything at first.
"Stace...did he rape you?"
She knodded her head and cried even harder. They both were horrified at the thought. Clinton then started to cry.
"Oh god...thanks goodness we didn't lose her" john said.
Clinton held onto her tighty and was extremely thankfull she wasn't kiled but his heart still sank at the thought of what he did to her.
After Stacy calmed down a bit, john asked Stacy if she would be ok to answer a few questions for the police and she agreed.
"Ok Stace. Ill sent him in" Clinton helped her up.
"Come on Stace. Let me help you to the couch" he said and helped her to the couch.
The officer then came in.
"Hello Stacy. I'm detective Martinez. Are you ok with answering a few questions for me?" He asked sweetly.
"Yes"
"Ok great. Did he attept to shoot you?"
"Yes...he did threaten to shoot me"
"Ok...did he force hiself on you sexually?"
"Yes"
"Did he rape you"
She knodded her head and started to cry again.
"Sssh its ok stacy" clinton tried to comfort her.
"I need to ask. Are you willing to apear in court and testify against him?"
She looked at Clinton with uncertainty.
"You should Stacy..."
"Ok...yeah I think so"
"Great...now to better your chances of winning this case would you be willing to concent to a rape kit"
"Uh...I...I don't know. Not sure if I want to go through that.
"Its ok. I definately underetsand but I have to be honest. If you don't it will be very difficult to prosecute him"
"Come on Stace. If you do he will go to jail for sure" Clinton said.
"Can I think about it.?"
"You monst definitly can but I must say the longer you wait the less evidence we will have against him."
"I just don't want to go through the pain and discomfort and most of all the emberassment"
"What if I'm there with you Stace...would that make you feel better?"
Stacy knodded her head.
"So what do you say Stace...will you do it?"
"Ok...as long as you're there"
"You made the right choice Stacy and don't worry I'm refering you to the best"
He said and handed Clinton a list of things she will need and where to go.
"Thank you officer"
"No problem"
"Come on Stace...ill take you right now"
Clinton helped Stacy gather what she need and he took her to go get the rape kit done.
The entire proccess took about 4 hours to finish. Clinton was there by her side the entire time supporting her doing his best comfort her. Durring the pelvic exame some asspects were pretty painfull Clinton could see that she was in pain so he grabbed her hand and held it untill the exame was over.
(In the car)
"That wa so aweful" Stacy said
"I'm sorry Stace but you meade the right decision. I'm very proud of you Stacy"
Stacy shhok her head and started to cry.
"Stace?...oh Stace please don't cry"
"Can't help it. All this bad shit keeps happening to me"
"I'm so sorry Stacy..." He said sadly and grabbed her hand and held it gently.
"Thank you so much Clinton...for being there for me"
"No need to tahnk me Stace. I am always here for you and I am going to be by your side to help you get through this no matter how long it takes."
"Really? You would do that for me?"
"Yes beautiful. I would do anything for you"
Clinton lifted her hand and kissed it gently. Stacy smiled.
Stacy looked at Clinton for a moment and thought to herself:
"Why can't I just let my guarde down and just...let him in"
"Clinton. Do you wanna know what I think is so amazing?"
"What's that?"
"How you never fail to make me smile no matter how bad of a situation"
Clinton smiled.
"One of the most amazing feelings in the world is to be the one to make you smile"
They stayed silent for a few minutes then:
"Stacy...I love you"
Stacy looked at him and smiled.
"I love you too Clinton"
Clintons heart filled with butterflies after she said that she loved him too
They wanted to give Stacy as much time as she needed off of work to recover, but she insisted to return to work the very next day. Stacy said she would rather work and keep busy to help keep her mind off of what happened.
So, the next day, Stacy returned to work as usual. She walked towards her dressing room with coffee in hand but stopped in her tracks. She stood there for a moment just staring into her dressing room. Then all of the sudden,everything that had happed to her just yesterday began to flash before her eyes. Clinton noticed she was standing there and he went to check to see if she was alright. He approched her from behind.
"Are you alright Stace?" He asked as he placed his hand on her shoulder.
It started her and she dropped her coffee on the floor.
"Oh Stace I'm so sorry if for scaring you"
"Its ok Clinton" she said as she picked up the coffee cup.
"Are you gonna be ok?"
"Yeah I just...don't think I could go in there"
"Its ok Stace. I can go in there and get you what you need and you can get ready in the bathroom.
"Thank you Clinton"
When Stacy went into the bathroom to change, she first went to go wash the coffe off of her hands and legs. As she stood looking in the mirror, she broke down and started to cry. She placed her hands on either side of the sink and rested her body on it. Then a strong nauseaded feeling hit her stomach. She ended up getting sick.
When she left the bathroom, her eyes were blood shot and she looked pale. Clinton went over to her and noticed she looked very ill
"Stacy...are you ok? What happened"
"I threw up" she said
"Will you be alright?"
"Yeah ill be fine"
"Stace you really look like you're going to passout...come on" he said and helped her over to the couch to sit her down.
"I'm going to run to the store and get you some sprite and something for your stomach ok"
"Ok...thank you" she said and laid down.
Later on as john was doing her hair, their producer Alvin had someone he wanted her to meet
"Stacy...this is Ted Gibson...our new on camera hair stylist"
"Pleasure to meet you Stacy"
" You too Tedd " she said and they shook hands.
"Welcome to the What not to Wear family" she said
"Thank you Stacy"
"Ok now let me introduce you to Clinton" he said to Ted and they walked off.
As Stacy and Clinton were waiting to film:
"Alvin replaced Nick pretty quick" she said
"Yeah I know! That was fast huh"
"I hope its not temporary"oh no! Nick is gone for good"
"Good"
"In fact Alvin was planning on replace him anyway"
"Well too bad he coudlnt have done it sooner...maybe none of this would have happened"
Clintons heart snapped in two and was clueless on how to respond.
(One month Later)
Stacy stood Next to her lawyer as did Nick on the other side of the court room. Clinton stood behind her and she looked back at him. He looked at her with confidence as if he knew for sure Nick was going to be prosecuted.
"Has the jury reached a vertict?"
"Yes we have your honor...we find the defended not guilty due to mental illness and must be addmited into a mental facilty and undergo treatment for his phsycosis disorder"
Stacy stomach sank and she bagan to cry. She turned to Clinton and he hugged her tightly.
"He got away with it Clinton" she cried"
"I'm so sorry stacy...I'm so sorry"
As they escorted Nick out of the court room and kept his eyes on Stacy the whole time while she was in Clintons arms and Clinton scolded him until he left the court room.
