Please no-abused Hinata

Chapter 27

A video was playing on the screen in the court room. The video was disturbing, scary, and plain out disgusting. Hinata couldn't watch. He looked down at the table, ashamed, he had nothing to be ashamed of. He was the victim. 

"As you can see your honor the defendant has not only emotionally abused the plaintiff but also physically abused him." Hinata's lawyer, a sweet, understanding lady, spoke in a strong, confident voice. 

The judge didn't speak for a short moment, "thank you, miss Erika." they lawyer standing took a seat and patted Hinata's back. The boy flinch not even noticing her when she sat down. The team looked worried. They had all noticed Hinata's scratching. 

"Do you think he'll be ok?" Ukai asked leaning over to Takeda. Takeda shrugged honestly not knowing. 

"The defendant may take the stand and speak his side of the case." The judge pointed to the seat next to him. 

Hinata's dad walk to the stand, dragging his chains along, he took a seat in the stand and everyone waited. 

"I....I....the reason I have hurt my son for this long is because.....because...." the man started to cry. Hinata only side, his father was an amazing brain washer, and a narcissist. He was going to pull the victim and everyone was going to believe him. "My wife and baby daughter died in a...a car crash nine years ago. I...i took up drinking to try and cope with the loss. I was blinded by rage, sorrow, and the alcohol. I never ment to hurt my son. I have no excuse for what I have done." The judge looks unconvinced. 

"Thank you Mr. Hinata. you may take a seat again." Hinata's father hangs his head and shuffles back to his seat. The judge looks to Hinata and smiles sweetly. "The plaintiff my come to the stand and present his side of the case." 

Hinata stands slowly, pulling at the cuffs of his jacket. He walks to the stand and takes a seat. A dog approaches him and lays his head on his lap. "That is coco. She is our comfort puppy," the Judge says sweetly smiling at him. The team smiles as well, at least he won't be totally alone. 

"What my father stated about my mother and baby sister.....is true. I was six when the accident happened. I was in the vehicle and managed to survive....." Hinata took a breath. He knew this wasn't going to be easy but this is harder than he thought. Coco put her paw on his leg and whine. Hinata petted her head and looked to his team. They all nodded trying to say "go ahead, your safe". 

"My father blamed me for the crash........ He said if I wasn't such a worthless child they would still be here.....when I came home from the hospital that night.....He hit me" Hinata touched his cheek as he remebered what it felt like. " I thought it was just out of sadness, but over the years it got worse, it went from being slapped acouple times a week, to beatings, to beating every night, and eventually......raping me." Hinata let the tears slide. "I couldn't tell anyone....he threatened to kill anyone I told and everyone close to me. I delt with the pain through self-harm and starving myself. I thought I deserved it-" Hinata choked on his words no longer able to speak. 

The judge said that the jury shall discuss the case and to come back in a couple hours. Hinata's father was escorted out of the room, and Hinata ran out. 

"Hinata!" Kageyama yelled as he followed Hinata out of the court room, and down a random hallway. Hinata tripped and fell on the floor. Kageyama picked him up and held him as he cried. Hinata gripped Kageyama's shirt. 

"I never wanted to say that aloud. I never wanted to talk about that Infront of so many people." Hinata wailed. He was shaking and crying. Kageyama felt useless. He just rocked the boy till he calmed. 

"It's ok. No one thinks differently of you," Kageyama said pulling Hinata away from him. He wiped the crying boy's tears with his thumb. Kageyama's phone buzzed in his pocket. He looked at it and put it away. "We have a few hours till we are called back in. Do you want to stay here for a bit? Get away from everyone?" Hinata nodded and cuddled up to Kageyama. He just wanted to be held. Kageyama pulled out his phone and turned-on volleyball videos for them to watch. They may or may not have fallen asleep for a bit. 

********

They were all back in the court room a few hours had passed and Hinata was ready to take on his father. "The case of Hinata Shoyo Vs. Kaito Hinata is coming to an end. The jury has decided on a fitting punishment." Everyone in the room moved to the edge of their seats, waiting to hear the punishment of the man that hurt the poor young boy. "Kaito Hinata, You have been sentence to a life in prison," the judge brought the gavel down to end the case. Hinata father jumped up and ran at Hinata. Grabbing him by the throat and slamming him into the table. Hinata couldn't breath, his vision went spotty and eventually black. Everyone scrabble to get to him. The four police in the room pulled the fuming man off of the boy and tased him. Hinata's air and vision returned back to him in a rush. He coughed and wheezed trying so desperately to put air back into his lungs. 

"Hinata!" Kageyama said desperately. He pushed through the crowd and pulled Hinata too him. 

"YOU RAT! THIS IS YOUR FAULT! I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS!" Hinata's father continued to scream as he was pulled out of the room. 

Hinata shook his head and sighed. Finally able to breath again. "You ok, Kid?" Ukai asked as he leaned down to check on Hinata. Hinata nodded and started laughing. Everyone was confused. "well at least I never have to see that bastard again." Hinata stated through his giggles everyone busted out in laughter at the red heads statement.
