Here I was currently on the stand, testifying against my own father for killing my boyfriend Alonzo. Alonzo was a black eighteen year old guy and I was Averie a white eighteen year old female. Now, readers you should already see how the flow of this story is. I was raised in a racist town but my heart never followed what my family's mindset did. I always had a thing for "chocolate" guys regardless of what the stereotypes were about them. On my eighteenth birthday, I went out to a lounge with a couple of my friends and met Alonzo. I knew that I was feeling him ever since I laid my eyes on him at the lounge. Did I care about what my family had to say about him? No. Was I ever going to let my feelings change on the way I feel about him? No. Here goes the exact words I shared as I was testifying on the the stand:    "My name is Averie and  I have a story to tell... I grew up in a racist home and time to time all I heard was that white folks were superior then any other humans on Earth. My father always used to remind my brother and sisters and I that we should never have any remorse for any black human. My father had influence on the judicial system and a lot of times he would pay the judges and prosecution to only convict black people and I've seen it with my own eyes. I witnessed it with him growing up .. he thought I was a dumb little girl and didn't comprehend what was going on. I understood more then he did! I always wondered why he hated black folks so much, was it something from the past? I always questioned myself because I know if I tried to question him he would get offended. I've been dating Alonzo for ten months and my father met him after five months. I knew my father would not approve of him but I didn't care because I had nothing against black people whatsoever. Alonzo always asked me how wasn't I brainwashed after living with him for eighteen years. When my father met him he gave him his first threat: "I will make sure you never stay for too long around my daughter. You're not deserving for her. You'll probably steal her life and then I'll have to steal yours if you know what I mean."  Alonzo took it as the typical dad threat and never paid too much attention to it. Every time, my dad saw Alonzo it was always a threat to his life. Alonzo never responded at all he just kept it moving. What my dad didn't get to know about Alonzo was that he was accepted into seven of the highest universities over the United States of America. My father saw Alonzo and labeled him from the start, Alonzo never hurt me and sure did not deserve fourteen bullets straight to his chest. Obviously, my dad really hated him to pull the trigger fourteen times against my boyfriend. My dad knew what he was doing and had his plan mapped out well. He set Alonzo up! I know he did! He couldn't wait to get rid of my boyfriend. I can't believe I slipped the thought that my dad wanted to reconcile with Alonzo in the basement alone! At the time, it wasn't iffy to me at all. It got iffy to me, when I stopped hearing a conversation downstairs and all I heard was the loud quick fourteen gun shots." , Averie testified emotionally.

Averie emotionally unstable to continue testifying walks off the stand staring back at her father with an indifferent attitude on his face.
