I had 2 hours to write this and I can't fix it I am to stressed with all the other projects I have please fix my teachers comment are at the bottom

title
I awaken in fear, knowing that today John is forcing me to confess[a]. Walking down the steps I see John sitting in the chair already dressed, waiting for me to awaken. His face is turned away from me, I’m [c]contemplating returning upstairs before he has the chance to turn around, but i am too late he is [d]already turning to find me staring at him. I freeze in shock. Smirking at me, he says “get ready for the court” in a very stern voice, I re[e]turn to my room to gather my things. Making my way to the main room I see John holding the confession he had convinced me to write the previous night, I realize that this is really happening, i am about to confess to perjury. Y[f]et I fear what the girls would do to me the most. Getting on the horse and heading to the courthouse I start wondering what Abigail is going to say, sh[g]e has already condemned half the town to be hanged. Arriving at the courthouse, I get[h] off the house only to realize that my knees are trembling beneath me. I feel as if i can barely take a step forward, when i hear John calling for me to follow him, yet all i can do is feel my knees treble almost as if i can hear them shaking. Still looking at my legs, I suddenly notice that John is grabbing[j] my arm fiercely and pulling me into the the court. I can see my confession in his other hand, and i now know that there is no running away i must face the men of the court.[k] As we walk in Giles is already pleading to the court to look at the “petition” that him and John had convinced people to sign, in defense of the good name of the people imprisoned[l]. They stop as they see us enter the room[m], and ask why i am present, i fade out i can see the lips of John, Danforth, and Giles move but I can not seem to hear what they are saying. As they speak they continue to look at me, the eyes of the minister and judges bar[n]e holes through my soul. It seems as if they know all my secrets, and my only option is to continue to stand before them, praying that i may not fall to the floor in fear. As i can not hear them I some how speak with out thought, “It were pretense, sir.”. I do not know what i have just answered but I know I answered honestly. [o]They begin to speak again, as i am still unable to catch their words, but then I hear them send for the girls and i suddenly hear every word. Danforth asks if I was threatened by John to say that[p] it were pretense 2 time, in all honesty I said “no” both times. As he continues to ask me questions the girls come out and make it look as if we're telling lies. I begin to shake, they want me to prove pretense, and faint but I can not. I try to explain myself but they do not believe me, Abby now says I am causes a cold wind to come upon her and the girls. I begin to cry for her to stop, she will have me hanged, i fear for my life. As Abigail begins to pray for the lord, John shouts and admits to lechery, and the accusations are off me, for at least this brief moment. I sit in the pew as they address this new accusation, and begin to calm down as they bring Elizabeth in. They will not let her look to John for his lead, she hesitates with her answer, but falling to the fear of death upon her husband she lies to protect him. Even though she had lied, they still had doubt of Abigail honest and that is where this began to go downhill for, she did not want the focus on her so she fall to pretense. She stared at the ceiling as if there were a bird trying to attack her. She then shouts out and names the bird to me, she was framing me for witchcraft. I shout out that I was not hurting her, that she could not see a bird, she then repeats me as if i am forcing her too. She[q]

Most of your problems are pretty easy to fix.
So just take a deep breath, sit in a quiet place, turn off your cell phone, sip a nice cup of hot chocolate (or your favorite comfort drink), and be confident that you will do an outstanding job.

Where your teacher writes "run on" you need to change your comma (or space) to a period and begin the next sentence with a capital letter. It is
