Kivana Stewart

I looked at myself in the mirror before removing my hoodie. I traced my hands over the scars before wiping the tears that fell from my eyes.

I sighed before placing the hoodie around my waist. The jury needed to see, to feel what I've endured.

I walked out of the bathroom to see everyone. I avoided there stares not being able to handled any more sadness. I walked passed Camille and into the court room with my head down.

We picked up where we left off before we spent another hour listen to his lawyer talk about nothing. Finally it was Camille's turn.

"Your honor I would like to call Kivana Stewart to the stand." Camille said.

I stood up before I was escorted onto the stand. Camille smiled at me before she began questioning me.

"Ms.Stewart, when was the first time you've encountered abusive behavior from Byung?" She asked.

"A few months ago, before I was kidnapped." I said.

"What happened?" She asked.

"Well...after I found out he had my sister go through seven abortions, I decided it was time to really call it quits." I said.

"So you guys broke up?" She asked.

"No, I left the house for a while." I said.

"How long exactly?" He asked.

"Three days." I said.

"Ok, and what happened when you returned?" She asked.

"Well my parents...my adoptive parents returned and we were planning on having dinner at Mrs.Lee house. It was six of us and not all of us were going to fit in one car so Kivan took my adoptive parents and sister while Byung and I rode together but...before Byung and I left he began to question me." I explained.

"Question you about your whereabouts?" She asked.

"Yes and he grabbed my arm leaving a bruise." I said.

"Did anyone else see this bruise?" She asked.

"Yes." I said.

"Who?" She asked.

"Simon Dominic." I said.

"So Byung was already showing aggressive behavior, did you tell the family about his affair?" She asked.

"I did." I nodded.

"And how did they react?" She asked.

"Shocked...disappointed." I said.

"And Byung?" She asked.

"He tried to jump over the table to attack me." I said.

"Did he get to you?" She asked.

"No, Simon...he protected me." I mumbled.

"So you out his affair and he tried to attack you. Simon defends you...what happened next?" She asked.
