What's hers is hers and what's his is his

[paige__matthews]

Sitting there like something so helpless, your whole body starts to ache. The prosecutor obviously knew what he was doing, but did he even care about Julie's fate. My eye's stayed narrow the whole entire time. If it wasn't for julie sending me looks every once and a while, I would of orbed him to another dimension. A not so pleasant dimension that

She brought up some very good points and I was even this close to caving in. I was getting way past the frustration part of this whole mess and I wanted to help no matter what the cost. I could see she was upset too and that made it much worse. Darryl was an interesting name to be brought, he hasn't even helped us out and refuses to take any part in it. Strictly by the book as always but I'm stay strict to the book of shadows. Taking my hand back I had to let her know,

"Julie, I know you'd rather have the fates take care of all of this but I'm not going to let you go to jail because of that guy..."

Standing up once more, I had to move around otherwise I was bound to go insane. In the back of my mind I could see the prosecutor, taunting julie, taunting us all.. I crossed my arms and paced around the room, I didn't know how else to explain this to her.

"He's manipulating the jury and the judge and I can't understand how he is getting away with it. I want him to feel what you've gone through and with all the hope maybe he can get a clear head to your situation."

Again turning to what she had said, personal gain seemed to be the topic that stood out. Of course it was personal gain but not on my behave, it wasn't on anyones really. Turning my head to her I stopped myself,

"This isn't personal gain. You're an innocent and I have to do what I can to protect you. If that means doing a spell then so be it.."

I stand up and in a very firm voice I shout

"NO Paige."

I looked her right in the eyes.

"I wouldn't wish what I felt on my worst enemy. I wouldn't wish that on any demon. Darryl had been trying to pull some strings as well as my really good lawyer. This has to be done by the book Paige. I don't want anyone else to die, or be hurt because of me. Please...do this for me"

I went from firm to pleading, I couldn't have something else go wrong because of magicks.

I turned my head, I couldn't bare to look at her. I didn't really feel like upsetting her anymore than I already have. I had good valid points that I so desperately wanted her to listen too, but she also had some valid points. We both were stubborn of course and I knew I was making her upset.

"Julie.."

I paused trying to think of what exactly to say to her. It's not everyday a friend of yours ends up in going to court and even possibly jail and they refuse to take your help.

"I can't promise you anything, if tomorrow is up to the same crap..."

I bit my tongue as to not go completely off the wall. I continued to pace around the room trying to find a plausible solution to all of this. It didn't make any sense, yet their had to be something out there. I let out a sigh,

"What if...Julie what can I do?"

I needed to do something that was for sure. I crossed my arms, all of this was surreal. I looked over at the book of shadows, then to the chest with all the other books we had. There could possibly be something in there that is useful but I wasn't about to do anything without her consent or while she was sitting right there.

[torturedslayer]

"I go to jail, I will deal. Paige, all I really need is for people to come visit me when it is allowed. I need you to be...I need you to be by my side minus the magic..."

I look into her eyes crying now.

"I need you to be there to help my family when/if I am gone. They have been through hell and I need someone to be there for them..."

I think a moment

"I also need you to forgive Darryl, he was only doing what he had to. He has pulled so many strings lately that I owe him a lot"

I was hoping this would calm her down, I don't know.

[paige__matthews]

No matter how many times she tells me, I cannot and will not accept that as her fate. If the elders knew anything they'd see it too but of course they're not stepping their lazy asses in. For some reason, watching her act like this was an easy solution didn't set well with me. It could of possibly been me replacing myself in her shoes but the calmness that she portrayed wasn't easy for even me to deal with.

"Okay...."

Was all I could muster out. It wasn't as though I could tell her different, I wasn't happy and obviously I couldn't do anything. I crossed my arms and walked to the stained glass window. Trying to look out of it I nearly jumped as she asked me to forgive Darryl.

"What! You want me to what?"

I said almost in complete shock. After everything we've said and done this was far from my list of things to do. I felt my blood boil just a tad bit but I tried to not to show it. Which usually meant anyone could see how angry I was. I let out a grunt then turned to look back her,

"I can't, not right now..."

I arched and eyebrow and felt my eyes get a little wider. This was something I would have to deal with a eventually but I am perfectly fine with postponing it for a while. If I didn't have to see him for a while that would also be perfect, but since when have I ever lived in a perfect world.

[torturedslayer]

I walked over to her and looked her in the eyes once more.

"What will it take for you to forgive him? Well and to not lie to me about not doing anything. I know you feel like you failed me and I know you feel like you have to save me, you saw me in that hotel room naked, bloody and beaten and I know you saw what that man did to me..I know you think that you have to make it all better with some spell, it will only make it worse. Please, I am begging you do not do this..just let what happens happen...I need atleast one of us looking after my family..."

I couldn't hold back anymore the tears were flowing free and I was a mess yet again.

[paige__matthews]

I watched her as I held the back of my hand against the tip of my lips. It really hurt me knowing that I hurt her. All of this was just a mess and seeing her get all emotional was starting to make me emotional. I was starting make all of this drama towards her and she's been through alot.

"I'm sorry.."

I reached over to hug her, I looked blankly at the wall as I squeezed her tightly. I had to hold back a little to keep myself grounded. Two emotional women probably wouldn't be the best thing right now. I pulled back and held onto her shoulders.

"You're right and I will be there for you no matter what. I know your worried and you want things to go alright with your family and they will..."

I paused as I noticed her nose running. I looked around the room for the kleenexs and slightly found them a couple tables over at the door. I took a deep breath before focusing my eyes on them. I reached out my hand,

"Tissues!"

I commanded and with that sad I had them in my hands. I extended them over to Julie and then I took a couple myself. If things were about to get more heavy I knew I would need them. I halfway smiled before trying once more to ease her tensions,

"I will look after your family, okay? I won't do any magic I'll just leave this open to the fates."

[torturedslayer]

I took the tissues and smiled at her a bit the tears still falling.

"You promise?"

I asked trying to decide if she was telling the truth.

[paige__matthews]

With every bone in my body I felt as though I could not say it. If I did that would mean any possibility of helping out this whole situation was out. Watching her all upset didn't help either but I had a hunch that I was right and promising it away would set the previous fate. I let out a sigh as I knew it was coming,

"I promise.."

I forced it out of me and my stomach started to hurt a little. I tried to smile and make everything seem as though it was ok but it wasn't. I crossed my arms and I started to get emotional myself. I was more frustrated than anything and I got to thinking about it more I felt a tear fall down my cheek.

"This isn't easy for you me but if this is what you wish I can't stop you..."

[torturedslayer]

I looked at her questioningly.

"I..I guess that I will leave you alone now...just please no spells."

I didn't know what else to do or say. I knew that she was going to do something crazy, but I didn't know what or how. I guess I would just let it go for now.

"Thank you Paige...for everything"
