I am so sorry for not updating for ages, but I've been busy with GCSE and I've had writers block. I hope you guys can forgive me. Read And Review.

I was walking down a long corridor that lead to a door. When I got to that door it had to be opened by a buzzer. The room was had prison bars all around it and was monitored ahead by 5 cameras and 4 security guards. That's when another door at the other side buzzed opened.

Out came Josh. He looked different, but in a good way. He sat down on the chair on the other side of the table and I sat on mine. I placed 2 folders in front of him.

"This folder is for you. It contains any evidence that could help us, but this folder contains everything against you,"

The folder for Josh was small compared to the folder against him.

"Josh, they have a lot of evidence against you and some of it could make the jury believe you are guilty. With your permission Josh I need to go into our past"

"What do you mean?" he said with a puzzled look.

"I mean I need to show the jury and judge everything. It will make them question why you went from an innocent person to a killer,"

"Yeah, but some of the things that happened to me. To us will make it worse. It won't help me,"

"Josh I just need your permission."

"Fine if you think it will help I trust you,"

"Thank you," I indicated to the prison guard to open the door. I heard a loud buzz and I left the prison.

When I got home I sat down and began to think of the things in Josh's past that could help.

I wrote down the list of things and read over it carefully.

Raised by his sister.

Grew up in a stable home.

Always taken care of.

Has no mental condition.

After thinking even more for a few hours and adding some more things to my list I heard the door open. My head jolted up to discover Dimitri.

"Hey." he said "You've got mail."

He passed over a few letters. One was an official looking letter. I opened it to reveal a letter from court.

Dear Miss Hathaway,

The court had decided the official date beginning the trial on the 15th Of July, but due to recent events and schedules we have changed the date to 10th Of July. We understand that these means you have less time to gather your evidence, but the court believes you have had long enough already. We apologies for any inconvenience and have decided upon a time for the trial- 11 am.

From the high court of court.

"The trails date has been changed. It's 3 days away."

"Oh. Well what are you going to do?"

"I don't know. I've got hardly any evidence for him with the way I'm going he's going to be charged with the murder."

"Don't say that. You can't think like that!"

"Well it's hard not to be"

"If my sister was accused of murdering someone I would never lose hope."

"I swear I know everything about you, but you don't know a lot about me. I think it's time I tell you."

"What do I need to know?"

"Everything. Get the green box from the cupboard."

He brought it back and placed it in front of me.

"What's that?"

"My past. I haven't looked in this box for years."

I opened the lid and took out the pictures.

"This was the first house me and Josh lived in. We were 10 when I used to take care of him. Put him to bed at night. That year I met Lissa." The picture was of a small boxed house, almost a shed size.

"It's so small."

"Yeah, but I can remember being so happy."

He smiled at me and kissed me.

"This one is of Lissa's brother's birthday."

I couldn't help myself I smiled and laughed at this picture.

"Did you love Andre?"

I nodded. "For ages I did. One day I asked him out. He kissed me and said we could be together."

'What happened then?"

"He died that night" I felt tears brim. "I wanted to die with him, but I kept going for Lissa's sake. She told me that she couldn't have got through it without me."

"Have you ever told Lissa?"

"No and I don't think I will. The only person who knew was Josh. He guessed it and swore he wouldn't tell anyone."

He picked up the next photo.

"That's when Lissa got confirmed. She was 12. In the front row is her mother, me, her grandma. In the second row is Andre, her dad and Josh. They were the closest thing we had to a family and they treated us like we were there actual family."

I took the next photo.

"This was my uncle's wedding day." my voice was full of venom.

'What's wrong?"

"My uncle used to abuse me. Instead of hitting his wife he would hit me. No one knew about this. Not even Josh. He treated Josh like his son, but I was just a piece of furniture. A punch bag."

He pulled me in close.

"But not all of my childhood was bad. Every holiday Lissa went on I went on. Every event I was Lissa's plus one. Well Josh was Lissa's and I was Andre's. Although my childhood terrible all that matters is that Josh's was fine. And it was, but I hate it when people say I had life easy because I didn't. I worked so hard and battled many things to get to where I am today. Some of it I couldn't have done without you."

He smiled. The phone rang and I answered.

The person on the other end told me some news that shocked me.

"Thank you" I said putting the phone back down.

"Who was that?" Dimitri asked.

"Someone from an orphanage just told me she saw Josh the night Tatiana was murdered and she can testify to that."
