Court

~time skip to Wednesday~

Today was your court day. You got out somewhat professional clothes from your bag that you packed with your luck that you even had them. Vance was getting ready himself. Him and his parents were going with you and also had to get the other two kids. Once you guys were done getting ready, you were on your way to collect the other two.

~time skip to the court house~

You guys walked in and were escorted into the court room. When you entered, you saw your dad on the other side from where you, Gwen and Finn would be opposite of him. Soon enough, the judge came in and sat down in her seat.

"Court is now in session. Today's case is the Blake family between a father and his three kids with abuse. I'll start with you guys first."

The three of you prepared for questions but it was going to be you doing most of the talking.

"Ms. Blake, from a note from the detectives, it says that you stated that it was only you that was being hit. Is that correct?"

"Yes your honor."

"It also says that you take blame for everything that happens when your father lashes out on you guys so the little ones don't have to experience it. Is that correct?"

"Yes it is."

She put the notes down that she was holding.

"How many years has this been going on for?"

You sighed before answering.

"Ever since I was 4 years old."

She then looked at your dad in disbelief then everybody else in the room.

"This is a brave young girl right here. She has been dealing with beatings ever since she was 4 years old. Ms. Blake, when your other siblings were born and were at your age, did they ever get hit?"

"No your honor. He would only be able to yell at them before I stepped in right before they got hit. I gave them both the same promise when they were old enough to understand what a promise was and everything. I promised them that they would never ever be touched by our dad. I told them that if things ever got bad, they come to me no matter where I was. I'm not afraid to stand up to my father. And he sure as hell isn't touching my siblings. That promise has been going on for years now, and they're still left untouched."

There was a pause and silence in the room. She then started to clap. Everybody else in the room joined her.

"Honey, let me tell you something. I don't think I've ever seen a kid like you in my court room. One that's so committed, kind, caring and definitely not afraid to speak her mind. You, sweetheart, are unique and I'm so sorry that you suffered like this for so long."

"You know what, it's okay your honor. I can't even get hurt by him anymore. He doesn't phase me like he does my siblings."

Finn and Gwen latched on to your sides hugging you. They felt bad that you were spilling out your feelings in the court room since you never told them these details. You held them both knowing how they felt just by how they latched themselves onto you.

"Look at that everybody. What a sweet child. Do you have anything to say about this Mr. Blake?"

He looked at the three of you before speaking.

"No words your honor."

"Okay. So, tell me. Why do you beat these kids anyway? What could they have possibly done to deserve any of this?"

You chimed in before he could say anything.

"He's a drunkie. That's the only reason your honor. Always takes his anger out on us."
