I sat quietly on the stand as Hakiem's lawyer questioned me. I looked over at my dad every once in a while but he always looked away as if he were more scared then I was but didn't want to show it.
"And you say that at that time, my client shot you?" He asked.
"No. Stop putting words in my mouth. What I said was that him and my aunt were working together. The intention was for me to eventually get shot because Hakiem thinks its my fault my mom doesn't love him but Camilla was so easily aggravated by Janai, that she tried to kill her."
"So how did you end up shot?"
"I pushed my little sister out the way. I wasn't gonna let Camilla kill her."
"Ok thats all" Hakiem's lawyer said sitting down. They called my mom up next.

"What are your claims against Mr. Jenkins?"
"Sex trafficking, domestic violence, molestation, attempted murder, and possession and selling of illegal substances." I said quietly.
"Can you explain what happned a few months ago, and why the police can't find the body of Camilla Crippen but have managed to find your fingerprints everywhere?"
I was about to spill but I made the mistake of looking up at Hakiem and I automatically shut my mouth.
"Ms Allen may I remind you that you are under oath." Hakiem's dumb a** lawyer stated.
"I don't know what happened. It went so fast. There were a lot of guns and I honestly don't even think it was Camilla's gun that shot Juanita because I shot Hakiem's hand and Ray shot the other one, Camilla shot Ray's leg but she couldn't have shot Juanita because then Craig shot her and I pushed Chres out the way so there was one too many gunshots.....one gunshot unaccounted for." I said extremely fast.
"So you don't know who shot them?"
"I have suspensions but no." I said looking down. I heard Hakiem in my head saying 'good girl' as if I was a little puppy listening to my master's commands....which I was AGAIN! "Wait I lied! I know who shot who."
"Lieing under oath?"
"You don't understand."
"Explain to the court then."
I froze and thought about the true reason _why_. _Why_ was telling the truth so hard? _Why_ can't I look Hakiem in the eye? _Why_ do I real so....responsible for this? _Why_ me?
".... I met Hakiem when I was 10. I was at my friends house and he lived around there. We talked for a while then I gave him my number and about a week later we were dating. He was my first love. I had no idea that he was in a gang or what he did to...girls. Little....defenseless....innocent girls. I found out on my 12th birthday when he.....he raped me but I was too dumb to say anything and a few weeks later he started hitting me. I eventually broke up with him. That's about the time when Chresanto came into my life. Hakiem saw us at the park and asked if I wanted to play basketball even though I was pregnant. I knew he wanted to slap the living sh*t out of me for being with Chresanto and for having his baby. Lucky for me Chres wouldn't let me go over there then the stress got to me and I went into labor. After that I moved in with Chresanto in Cali but Hakiem found me and somehow became my pimp the found out I was pregnant again and threatened that if I didn't leave Juanita and Chresanto he would kill them-" I was cut off by the gasping of everybody in the court. Everyone but Hakiem's lawyer who stood with his arms folded.
