"Mrs Alsina, what do you have to say on George Paynes testimony?" My lawyer asked.

"He's lying. I slept with him once but he'd told me that he was 20 years old, he basically lied about his age." She said as she gritted her teeth.

"Alright, Mrs Alsina, and attorneys of both sides, we're starting with the Mr Alsina situation since that was the prime reason that we are all here today." The lawyer said.

"Mrs Alsina, can you explain what happened on the day that Mr Alsina raped and abused you?" Her lawyer asked as she sat up straight in the witness box.

"I was at home just watching TV on the couch and then he came home, he was drunk out of his mind and he stunk like weed. He walked up to me and I was just like 'hey baby' but he shoved me out the way and I hit my head on the corner of the room-"

"Where-abouts' is your sofa in your main room?" My lawyer asked.

"Objection, how is this relevant?" Princess' lawyer called.

"Your honor, if you allow me to speak, you'll see where I'm going with this." My lawyer said and the judge paused for a second.

"Overruled. Mr Shreden; continue please." He said banging his gavel. If you're wondering, Mr Shreden is my lawyer's name.

"As I was saying, where-abouts is the couch in your main room?" My lawyer asked.

"It's in front of the TV so it's in the middle of the room. But I don't see how this is relevant." Princess said.

"Mrs Alsina, is your main room small?" My lawyer asked.

"Erm, well it's probably half the size of this court room." She said and my lawyer nodded.

"So if you were in the middle, and Mr Alsina came up to you, how did he manage to shove you all the way to the corner of the room causing you to allegedly hit your head? I mean, Mr Alsina is probably not the strongest person in the world." My lawyer said and the jury broke into murmurs.

"And also Mrs Alsina, please bare in mind that you swore on the bible to tell the truth and nothing but the truth." My lawyer said. Princess opened her mouth to speak but no words came out.

"Mrs Alsina, did Mr Alsina really push you and cause you to hit your head?" The judge asked.

"Oh no, I remember, he pushed me and I fell backwards hitting the table." Princess said as I sucked my teeth.

"So you're changing your story?" My lawyer asked and she nodded hesitantly. My lawyer then shrugged and sat back down next to me; allowing Princess' lawyer to finish questioning her.

"Alright. Carry on telling us what happened." Her lawyer said.

"So after I fell, he started screaming at me telling me to get my stuff and leave. And I was confused thinking what was going on. Then he said I had 30 minutes to leave. So, I went upstairs and started packing and when I was done, he came in and he kept screaming at me. Then he called me a 'bitch ass hoe' and hit my eye. Then he pushed me onto the bed and started... he started ripping my clothes off telling me that he was going to 'make me pay' before I left." She said, she paused to wipe away her tears that just happened to be invisible.

"So, he raped you?" Her lawyer asked and she nodded as her lips pursed together.

"What happened after?" Her lawyer asked.

"I put my clothes back on whilst he was washing his hands-"

"Objection your honor, he couldn't have washed his hands straight after because the police caught him with bruised hands." My lawyer said.
