Gettin' Up

Court.. yet again...

Renee Pov.

"All rise court is now in session", the police officer spoke.

I stood there trying not to cry.. This is all Jacob fucking Perez fault and Daniels!

"Today Renee Perez you are pressing charges against Jessica Jerrell, Having Daniel put in jail, and for your minor right to leave California? Am I right?", the judge asked me.

"Yes ma'am", I spoke.

"So what happened the night of the arrest?", The judge asked looking at me.

"My fathe- I mean Jacob Perez and I was going to pick up Clare. When we finally arrived at the home. The door was unlocked so I let myself in when I saw Jessica beating on my daugther.. Which this is a self defense charge definding that I am to protect my self and children from danger.. Than I looked over to the left of the door to see Daniel Simmons sitting there watching her get beaten on..", I spoke .

" Mr. Daniel Simmons may I hear your side", She asked direct to Daniel.

"I was deciding on leaving or not to go to work. Frigten that this would happen to Clare and Jessica. I went but 3 hours into working. I decided to come back home to see how things where before Renee came. When I came in I saw Jessica beating on Clare. I stood shocked and didn't know what to do.. I was about to pull Jessica off of Clare until Renee came in and slapped me.", Daniel said without a bit of it sounding like him.

"Ms. Jessica your side?", The judge asked Jesica.

"See what had happen was .. She uhhhh.. Shit I have nothing to say but Yeah I put my hands on her.. Why because im tired of seeing her! This is Daniels and I life not Daniel, Clare, Jessica, and I life. So I tired to kill her. I would have killed her if it wasnt for Daniel and Jessica.", She said making her self sound mentally retarded. 

Daniel ended up being charged with house arraist and Jessica Life for attenpt of murder.

" Mr. Daniel Simmons may I ask how old you are?", the judge asked Daniel.

"ummm. uhh", he said not wanting to get it out...

He whole court room got quit as everyone waited for his answer... 

"Because Mr. Daniel the math of the age in the report doesn't match the age on your criminal record...", the judge spoke.

Daniel Pov.

Shit I'm stuck.... I lied about my age..

"Mr. Daniel Simmons you were taken under oath.. come to the stand please", she demanded Daniel to do..

"how old are you", she asked him once again.

"40 years old..." , Daniel said looking down.

"Mr.Daniel is this true?", she asked Daniel.

I started to shake then.. 

"no-o no...", i spoke out loud on attendant.

"How old Mr. Daniel..?", she asked me once again.

"24...", I spoke.

"Mr. Daniel stop playing tell the truth or you will be sentenced longer....", She spoke trying to get the answer out of me..

"I'm 20 years old....", I spoke.

"Your free...", the judge spoke.

"Wait! Wait? If you are 19 who was the man that was always around my mother while i was growing up?", I asked as I looked at Daiel with pleeding eyes..

"That was .. me .. Renee. That was all me", I spoke looking broken.

Renee gave Clare to her father... Out of everyone her father?! and ran out the court room....

"Mr. Danie Simmons you are sentenced to 4 years in prison for lieing under oath and not watching Clare on your due days.
