CAMILA

It was the first day of the trial, or the only day of the trial if we finish hearing everything today. We got to LA a couple of days ago, and we made sure we had enough security. The media knows about the trial, and they are up our asses the whole time we were here. We made sure our family and friends were all informed about the trial, and so much to my dismay, they are all coming for the trial. Don't get me wrong, I'd love the support, but I don't want them knowing all the details.

"I really think they shouldn't be there." I said nervously as I paced around my room in LA. We were about to leave, and Lauren and I are fixing up, putting on make up and doing our hair.

"Babe, calm down. They already told Big Rob their coming." Lauren said as she ran her hand through my hair.

"Fuck." I groaned as Lauren kissed my head.

"Let's talk to the twins before we leave." Lauren pulled me to the twins' room. "Kara? Lana?" Lauren knocked on the door as she held on to my hand.

"Come in." Lana said on the other side of the door as we came in. They were still getting dressed.

"We're late? The last time I checked we still had 20 minutes." Kara said panicking, looking for her stockings.

"Mama and I just wanted to talk before we head to court. Is that okay?" Lauren asked as we sat on the sofa. The girls nodded their heads and sat down to the adjacent couch.

"What is it about?" Lana asked as Lauren sighed beside me. She didn't want to do this, but we both know it was for the better.

"Mama went through a lot with Justin, and everything will be discussed in court. Some topics would be uncomfortable to talk about, or too much, so if you can't handle it, you could always step outside and get fresh air." I explained as they looked at me sadly.

"Was it bad?" Kara asked curiously as Lauren nodded her head.

"It was. He made Mama do things out of her consent." Lauren explained as I see Kara tear up, probably understanding everything by now.

"But if you have questions, we can discuss it after the trial, okay? I will try to explain everything to you guys." Lauren said as they both nodded their heads.

"Okay." Lana whispered as Kara jumped to my arms.

"Everything's going to be fine." I whispered, letting myself believe those words.

LAUREN

We sat down behind they lawyers table, where Camila and the three lawyers were seated. I made sure Camz would see me in her peripheral vision, to make her feel less anxious. The twins are seated in between Keana and I, holding onto our hands. Inigo was on my right, making sure he protects me from Justin's side of the room. That's what he said. We didn't ask him to be here, but he insisted on seeing Justin prosecuted. He and Camz also got closer the past few weeks, and sometimes I think if this set up is a good idea. My ex wife and my ex fiance, friends. That's weird. Atleast they're not dating, right?

Our other friends and family members are behind us, showing support. You know who doesn't have friends and family supporting him? Justin. His side is empty, showing him no support on his important day. By now, the news about the trial would be all over. They might or might not get a hold of the real story, but atleast they have a glimpse of who Justin Bieber really is. They'd know about the kidnapping, and my unborn child's death. There are some other things they don't know, and today will be the day of their enlightenment.
