I sat uncomfortable with my brother next to me in the chairs. It was my second time being in Court, but it still feels weird and not normal. Everyone is looking at you with doubt or questioned faces. I clenched my fists together and breathed in and out. Our parents were just sitting a few meters away from us, looking disgusted in our direction. Their eyes were twitching in rage, but Chris tried to let me pay no mind to that. We will win. We have to. Of course, other employees are sitting in the backseat just like officer Paul and other policemen. The other animatronics weren't allowed to leave the Pizzaplex, not even for statements. It's unfair that they get treated as machines.
„We will begin now the trail. Y/N **** is being accused of taking property of the household, sleeping illegally at the workplace and abusing the parents."

What?! I looked confused to my brother, who is just as shocked as I am. Abusing??? The second might be correct, but the other two?! More the other way around!
„Y/N's lawyer is Christopher ****. The lawyer of the prosecutor is F/N ****, husband of M/N ****. We may begin the trail now."
Our father stood up and looked at the judge with a sad expression.
„Your honor, my client is not only here for another type of a misunderstanding, but also because of abusive behavior in our own household."
„Objection, parol evidence."
„Sustain."
„Thank you your honor. As I was saying, our child became violent over a few months ago. We were so happy to be free from all this abuse, but than we asked ourselves, what if they would start to attack other people too? Their behavior has to be finally put to an end."

I hate this. It's just all lies and garbage they talk. Chris is trying his best, but if our voice won't come to a better understanding, we will loose...
„Thank you mister ****. We may hear now the statement of the defendant."
Chris stood up and looked to our parents.
„Your honor, as a family member myself, I can fully cross out the statement of my parental figures being abused at home."
„Objection hearsay."
„Sustain."
„In fact, it is the other way around. 12 years ago, we stood here as hopeless children, being injured by our own parents."
„Objection relevance!"
„Sustain."

Chris cleared his throat before looking into the room.
„We were desperately trying to win, but the jury thought it was just a rumor. All four of us got beaten or mistreated at least once week every year, till my sibling Y/N, escaped this madness."
„Objection hearsay."
„Sustained."
„So we stand here before you as victims of silent abuse and want to press charges against our parents for abusing, tormenting and damaging our emotional state of mind."
The room filled with whispers within a few seconds. The judge slammed her hammer on the desk, letting the room go quiet again.

„Quiet! Misses ****, can you tell us how the defendant hurt you?"
„Of course...Y/N would always kick me in the legs and punch me in the stomach...I was too scared to say anything to my husband or the police."
„Objection parol evidence."
„Sustained."
„Than they left home without a word after we had a big argument...today is the first time I see them again."
„Objection relevance."
„Sustained. Miss ****, do you have pictures or audios that contain the abusive behavior of your child?"
„No, I have not."
„And do you, Mister ****, have any pictures or audios of the so called abusive behavior of your parents."

Chris opened his folder and took out many photos of different times.
„We do have evidence. May I bring them forth?"
„Objection assertion."
„Sustained."
He walked up to the Judge and handed out several photos, before coming back to me. When did he shot these? Or hid them in a place our parents never saw it?
„I made them secretly. My siblings never knew about this, nor did they knew about the voice recordings I took whenever our parents got violent."
„Objection best evidence rule!"
„Sustained."
The judge looked over all the photos with a straight face. Does she not believe us?

„I take that these are real and not photoshopped?"
„Yes your honor. If you give us more time, I could have brought the audios and videos itself."
If only I could have searched up quicker Sun and Moons memories. Sadly other employees needed to repair Music Man's legs and stormed in and out all the time. And since the other computers are not that quick to work on, it was impossible to finish it.
„Very well. I'm also expecting proof from your side Mister and Misses ****."
„Of course."
„I'm therefore ending it for today. Tomorrow we will see the proofs and the witness account."
I breathed out and hold my brothers hand strongly. The first day went better than expected. But tomorrow is the time it counts. I'm pretty sure our neighbors and the police will say the truth, but our parents friends? Probably not.
