Plaintiff vs Defendant

What could have been ? I thought as I sat openly before the judge and the jury as the room filled with many different neighborhood residents stalking the front line. What could have been ? The question that still remains in my tiny head. I stole a look over my shoulder rubbing my nose furiously as my twin brother Ethan stepped in. He was dressed in all black from head to toe wearing his locs along with his hat. The room became a rant as the people of the town began to whisper amongst me, I could hear few of their remarks the time he sat down looking at the judge.

For the first time I felt truly afraid of my life, my brother wasn't no nerd that I knew of that day but me being here being the defendant trying to plead for my own life was something both we wouldn't ever think of. He continued to rubbed his hands together slowly with his black gloves that altered around his hands but what really caught me was how hard he was trying to ignore me.

Judge Judy didn't say a word, not for one minute as she flicked through the script before her repeatedly , the silence amongst me m, archon and echoes in my ears as my feet tap the surface of the ground. Next human thing that appeared after my brother was a lady I wasn't familiar with, she was of dark complexion with dimples on either side of her cheek with hair as long as her shoulders going down. She appeared to be his lawyer though she was incompetent of our resources. A single cough came from behind as I glanced around seeing Dre, Ren and Yella at the back nodding, to my far right stood Suge and some Random guy as I stood on the outside of the opposite direction along the long dark brown table.

The brows of my sweat fell inches closer to my eye lids, my nerves grew even more as the judge silently scan through the paper, she hummed and clenching few times reading whatever that was said until suge had to open his big mouth.

" Excuse me your honor-

Judge Judy waved her hand in the mid air silencing him as she kept reading, my knees bent and hands shaking, alerting me as I shot few more gazed over my brother. I tried looking around the room to glimpse our lovely mother and there she was sitting on his side in full black looking straight ahead. I focus my stare at her hoping she would look my way but fatality hits when she didn't and that's when I knew.

" Who's Ethan and Who's Eric ?" The judge asked relooking through her glasses that rest upon and in between her nose.

" My client here is Ethan the Plaintiff, Ma'am !"

" Understood, now, Eric who will be representing you today ?" The judge took her glasses off swinging it side to side before putting on her table

" Well your honor I have Mr Knight here with me " I spoke urgently

" Proceeds "

" Your Honor if I can demonstrate and show you some documents about Eric behavior would be the best ability to argue on this debate"

" Proceed"

" Thank you, * clears throat fixing coat* your Honor, jury and the residents of this neighborhood let me explain to you about my clients unwavering behavior and mishaps of this situation. Now my client here * points over to Eric,

Now it has concluded that over here Ethan was hitting on Eric's friends who now an arch enemy name O'Shea. That individual is not here but O'Shea and Ethan were supposedly friends!

" I object " Ethan's lawyer shouted standing on her feet.

" Proceed " judge waved her hands ignoring her
