The Fourteenth

You can only ever put off reality for so long; no matter how many distractions you throw in its face, real life always has a habit of intruding. When I woke, it was to find a brooding Taylor staring at his phone like he wanted to put his fist through the wall. When he saw me watching him, he quickly slipped on a mask but I wasn’t fooled; we needed to address whatever happened in court yesterday.

Friday the thirteenth…unlucky for some, horrific for Taylor. It was a day of questioning that bordered on interrogation and saw the Defence try to paint a picture where Taylor deliberately lied and fooled Hannah and encouraged Richard to play mind-games with her until she was so terrified that she felt her only option to escape the Hudson madness was fake her own death. Stranger still, the Defence tried to imply that Taylor’s identification of the body under the bus, even though he only ever identified Hannah’s bag at the scene, was somehow part of an elaborate cover-up. Even after Taylor described how he arrived home to find Hannah standing over me wielding a knife, the Defence still seemed determined to blame him, as if somehow he was the root cause of the insanity that Hannah was now pleading.

I stare at Taylor aghast that he was subjected to such a line of questioning. Every ounce of guilt that I know Taylor feels about Hannah has come back to haunt him; his emotions, a thousand times stronger, are etched into his features. A beep interrupts our conversation and Taylor lets out a sigh. “We need to meet up with Edward to go over strategy for your testimony.”

“Oh, okay,” I say softly, pulling the gown I am wearing tighter around me. Suddenly I feel scared. What if the Defence brings up my attempted suicide? Am I really prepared to talk about that in front of a room full of strangers?

“Edward has suggested meeting at their offices in an hour,” Taylor says with a frown. “I guess the honeymoon is over,” he says, his voice hollow.
