Everyone takes their seat at the trial. Joyce is just completely quiet till she is asked otherwise.
"Mrs. Byers, please come to the stand" Lonnie's attorney, said Joyce makes her way though the people to the top stand still thinking the worst.
"Mrs. Byers, please tell us, has he got drunk at all?" "Yes sir." Joyce said quietly. "During the time of him being drunk has he ever touched you or your sons?" He asked "yes sir, he has touched me." Joyce said "In an abusive way?" "Yes." "How?" The attorney asked "um, he-" she paused for a second "speak up Mrs. Byers" "uh, okay. He has... Hit me, he's thrown me down and made bruises on my wrists multiple times." "Is that all Mrs. Byers?" "yeah." "When did this start?" He asked "after my oldest son was born." She said as her eyes fill up with tears "Okay, and why do you think you should get custody over them?" "I'm scared, I'm scared that he will hurt them, I mean... Those boys are young, they need their Mother, and I am their mom, and will always be there mom, I took care of them by myself for 3 years." Her eyes fill with tears once again "is that all?" He asked. "Yes" Joyce said silently "no further questions."
Joyce gets off the stand and sits back in her place still on the verge of crying. I told the truth, I told him every little detail. She said to herself
Lonnie looks over at Joyce then back at the front of the court room.
Ha-ha, once again, I apologize if I'm doing this completely wrong lol, I try my best and.. That's what matters I guess? XD
Lonnie's trial starts and Joyce looks' away cause she can't stand the thoughts going though her head, although she started to feel a bit more okay with what's happening, she still had her doubts.
After the trial is let out Joyce just needs to wait one day till she figures out who gets her boys. as Joyce walks out of the court room putting her jacket on she gets stopped by Lonnie. "Joyce? can we talk?" I can't right now Lonnie...Hopper is gonna be here soon to take me home." "Joyce, please? just for 2 seconds?" Lonnie said "okay, fine, what's up?" asked Joyce "I honestly wish you the best tomorrow, lets be real here." Joyce gives him a look "really?" Joyce asked and Lonnie nods "I really do." Joyce looks at him and sees Hopper's truck pull up and she walks away trying to cope with what she just herd out of Lonnie's mouth since when does Lonnie like me? she asked herself why was he being nice to me? why is he acting like he cares? he's never cared before. she asked herself again
