"This man has tormented this woman for over a year now! Burned down her apartment, destroyed her car and abused her for god knows how long" My lawyer told the judge loud and clear.

"And you think a restraining order is a punishment?" The judge chuckled as if he had better plans in mind.

"He has no proof!" Bryson's lawyer yelled over him.

The judge pointed at him "You have no rights to speak yet!" He shut him up and he sat back down next to Bryson. He looked down at the documents and said "Now Ms.Haughton you stated here that Mr.Tiller has sent you threats through messages and voicemails ever since you two split, do you have any evidence"

"Yes your honor, there still here in my phone" I said unlocking the screen.

He motioned for me to come over. I came outside of the gate and walked up to the judge's bench and handed him my device. He adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat.

"Mr. Tiller I have proof here that you sent this woman death threats such as I'll kill
You for sending me to court; You really gone see the crazy side of me; Don't leave out of that apartment or else; You wanna lock doors? I'll break all of the windows!" The judge read the messages and sighed looking over at him "Shall I continue?"

"No your honor" He said not looking our way, ashamed of himself.

He gave me my phone back and I went back to my section and stood by my lawyer.

"Now ma'am with the fire, do you have any witnesses here to come up since you weren't there when it happened?"

"Yes sir,"

"Will the witnesses please stand to testify on the behalf of Ms.Haughton?"
I turned around and saw the same old men who once was my neighbor, slowly heading up to the front "And what is your name sir?" The judge asked.

"Ronald...Ronald Sanchez" He told him.

"Ok Mr.Sanchez can you tell us what you witnessed?"

"On the night of the fire I saw Mr.tiller earlier that day, I guess his friends gave him a ride to the apartment and I saw him get out with a brown bag, I guess the candles were in there" He looked over at Bryson and shook his head before continuing "When he came out he also ruined this young woman's car and later that's when the fire started"

The judge sighed and rubbed his head "Alright that's all I need to hear" He told him and we watched him walk back to the bench "Are there any more witnesses in the room? Please just stand!"
