I'm sorry it's been so long, I haven't had any ideas that hit me. Sorry bout that. Hope you all still love me!
Deadly Flashbacks
Chapter 5
"Ms. Tenou. Is it true, that when you were 16 you ran away to Tokyo?" the prosecuting atorney was pacing back and forth in front of her.
Haruka hung her head, "Yes, he had been in a car accident. That's when I left. I couldn't put-"
"Ms. Tenou, what made you leave your father?"
"I couldn't put up with the way he treated me. After...after my mother died, he blamed it on me." Tears were streaming down her face at that time.
"No further questions your honor."
"Ms. Tenou, you may step down, baliff get her some tissues." the judge was simpathetic toward the sobbing Haruka.
The defence atorney stood up. "The defence calls Michiru Kaiou to the stand."
She stood up, gave a nodding glance to Haruka and was sworn in before taking her seat on the witness stand.
"Now..Ms. Kaiou..may I call you Michiru?" she nodded "Now Michiru, do you recall any strange behavior from Haruka?"
"When we were younger, she would never be allowed out of the house after her mother died. I remember her coming to school with bruises on her face and arms. She always said she fell, but she was never able to look into my eyes and say it." Michiru took a deep breath before continuing. "I knew there was something wrong with Haruka as soon as we reached middle school. She always pushed me away, and would never let anybody get close to her, neither male nor female."
"And when Ms. Tenou moved away, how did you feel?"
"It was the worst time of my life. She was my best friend. I would try to write her letters, but would always get a 'return to sender' stamp on them. I would try to call and her father always said she wasn't home, even at 10 at night. When she finally came back, she poured her heart out to me, telling me everything that ever happened to her. All the times her father beat and raped her. That's when I talked to her about doing this..coming here."
"The defence rests your honor."
"Prosecution rests your honor."
Michiru stepped down and over to her seat beside Haruka, pulling her best friend into a loving embrace.
"The court will take a recess so I can make my decision." the judge stood up and headed back to his chambers.
