Earning Her Trust Back

Part 8

What should Lincoln's Ship be? (No Ronnie Anne-They will be best friends) 

Yes, I bring to the stand...

Lincoln. 

Lincoln instantly walked up to the bench and said the oath. He knew that he couldn't look at the rest of his family minus Lisa since they would try to convince him to keep his mouth shut. 

"You're Lisa's older brother aren't you?" The persecutor asked.

"Yes. I am her older brother." Lincoln answered.

"So you know what she's been through in the house." The persecutor said.

"Absolutely. There were several times where my family kicked her out of the house and make her do their homework. Sometimes they even make a game of torturing her for doing something that they don't agree with." Lincoln said.

"Did you try to help her?" The persecutor said.

"Sadly, No. Before you say anything....my family threatened me saying that they would do the same things to me like they're doing her. And because of their behavior towards me..months prior I believed them." Lincoln said.

"Can you describe those incidents?" The persecutor said.

"Yes. The first incident was when I was bullied by a girl which means that she liked me according to my sisters." Lincoln said.

"What?" The persecutor said.

"They said that if a girl bullies me then she must like me. Ridiculous...I know, but they keep trying to get me to date the same girl since her brother is dating....excuse me used to be dating my sister." Lincoln said.

"Objection. Surely the Loud's daughter's don't think that was true right?" The defense attorney said as he looked back and saw the sisters looking anywhere except his gaze. The defense attorney's eyes twitched before he sat down and wondered how he managed to get the dumbest people to defend for. 

"Wow. Uh...So about those other instances?" The persecutor said as the rest of the court minus the Louds had baffled expressions on their faces.

"There was the time that two of my sisters fought over a dress and instead or exposing things...they just kept telling me to butt out. And before you say anything..My parents hardly did anything and hide in their rooms near the end." Lincoln said.

"Is that true Mr. and Mrs. Loud?" The judge asked.

"To be honest...we did, but only because our daughters are sorta out of control." Rita answered. 

"I wonder how that came to be." Jasper Crescent said quietly. 

"Is that all?" The persecutor asked.

"Nope. We're barely scratching the surface of what they put me through. From me being a laughing stock and getting grounded for taking the fall for one of them to getting kicked outside the house for being bad luck." He said.

"Wait a minute....kicked out of the house?" The persecutor said.

"Yes. My sister forced me to go to one of her games and when she lost....she claimed that I was bad luck. And like the idiot I was....I tried to use it to get out of all of their events since  those events took up most of my free time." Lincoln said.

"Then they kicked you out of the house? Did they at least provide you shelter or treated you like any ordinary human being?" The persecutor said.

"If shelter meant sleeping on the ground with only leaves to keep me warm counts and being fed through a dog door. Then no." Lincoln said.

"Uh...I'll like to call a recess." The defense attorney said. The judge agreed and the attorney took his clients to one of rooms far away from the room.

"Well, this is just perfect. Not only are you being shown to be the worst siblings and parents ever, but you're honestly trying to get convicted on all counts." The defense attorney said.

"We didn't treat him that badly...." Rita tried to say before the defense attorney started to hollowly laugh.

"Right. That was clearly shown to the entire room when it was revealed that your daughters were basically ruling the household and that you kicked your only son out. Not caring enough to provide him with proper shelter and treating him like a dog." The defense attorney said.

"I know that it looks bad, but we can still fix it...." Lynn Sr. Said.

"I'm sorry to say this, but you can't fix this. Maybe we can try to get a plea deal or something...." The defense attorney uttered.

"No way. We can win this..." Lynn Jr. said.

"Oh? Then tell me how we can turn this around. Because at this rate, you'll all be locked up for several years." The defense attorney said which caused Lynn Jr. to stay quiet. They can win this...she knew that they could....

Only to discover that people won't take their past actions too kindly.
