❝sometimes the past echoes in the future.❞ -walk the moon

"Do you feel safe when your in mommy and daddy's house?" I asked the little four year old boy whom I was defending. He shook his head and nervously eyed his so called parents who were glaring at him from the prosecution stand. "And you'd like to live with someone else, right?" I asked the little boy. He nodded as tears streamed down his cheeks. "I wanna live with you" he said as a single tear rolled down his cheek. My breathing hitched in my throat once his words registered in my head. I opened my mouth to say something, but for once, I was speechless. "No further questions your honor" I whispered and returned to my seat on the defense side of the courtroom.
