Ciara POV

Today is the day we go to court and my nerves were bad. Nicki was trying to get me up but I wouldn't.

"Come on,I made breakfast and you know I hardly do that personally" She says

"I don't want to" I say

"Why?" She asks

"I'm still in pain,the medicine ain't been working for 2 days" I groan

"How?" She asks

"It's barely taking all the pain out,stupid shit" I say

"Maybe if you eat you'll feel better" She says

"How am I going to eat if I can't sit up without it hurting?" I ask

"You know I'm gonna help you" She laughs

"You're gonna carry me out the bed and down the stairs?" I ask

"If you want" She says after a long pause

"Ok" I chuckle

She picks me up bridal style and goes downstairs.

"You are too spoiled" She smiles

"That's wonderful,at least for me" I smirk

She sits me in the chair and stands across from me.

"You're gonna eat now right?" She asks

"Yea" I say

She makes our plates and I can't help but smile when I see the food. 1,I'm hungry as fuck,2,she made my favorite pancakes. Chocolate chip with whip cream and a cup of orange juice 😍😋. I ate so fast you would've thought I went a lifetime without eating.

"How you feel about going to the court today?" She asks

My smile quickly faded as I got brought back to reality.

"I guess" I say lowly

Ever since the accident everything seems black to me,no emotion,not phased by any bright things. Like when you bury flowers in a grave,my care goes. I've been the highlight of the media and it's honestly annoying seeing it everyday. I now look inside myself and see my heart is black,me and Alan were really cool at a point in time so it's sad he felt the need to do what he did. Maybe I won't have to face the facts cause it's not easy. If I look hard enough into the light everything won't feel so dark. I want everything to match my insides,black as night and coal. Sometimes I just mentally look away until everything goes away.

We start getting ready and I just put on something simple and black. I flat iron my hair and spray some perfume,soon Nicki is ready and we leave. The ride there seems longer than usual and I sigh. When we get there I carefully get out the car,I slightly roll my eyes when I see the paparazzi. I figured they be here but how do they know,like ugh. I walk in the room and greet everybody,my parents were here so I felt more comfortable. Me,Nicki,and Christian stand next to our lawyer and the Jude comes out.

"Good afternoon Ladies and gentlemen,my name is John Myer and I am representing the defendants Ciara Harris,Onika Maraj,and Christian Morton,we are here today to decide whether plauntiff Alan McQuiver was a suspect or victim,his parents Helen and Don McQuiver will be doing the case for him,sorry for you loss,Alan McQuiver has been accused of domestic violence,attempted murder,and verbal abuse,on June 14th the plaintiff allegedly went to the defendants house and talked to Onika,things went sour and he pulled out a knife,Ciara walked through the door and he threatened her with it,after a while of arguing Onika pursued to call the cops,that's when Alan used the knife them attempted to use another one for Onika,Christian went in and helped them out,in addition we will show the security footage of the accident,I hope by the end of this trial you plead my clients 'not guilty',thank you" My lawyer says

"You may all be seated" The judge says

I don't understand why his parents felt the need to drag us to court,it's not our fault their son turned into a psychopath.

"The plaintiffs lawyer will now speak" She says

"Your honor my clients feel like the defendants had no right to kill their son,self defense is one thing but taking a life is another" Their lawyer says

Is this a joke......what the fuck? They can't be serious cause this is typical shit.

"The situation was between Nicki,Ciara,and Alan,Christian had no right going in the house and killing their son" He says

I don't know why he saying it like that,Christian already feels bad enough.

"For all we know Alan probably didn't do any of this and their just trying to get a quick story,he has never shown any sign of danger his whole life so why would he do such an act? My clients and u personally think this whole thing is a set up to cover up Alan's death" He adds

I was bout to say something but Nicki covered my mouth. I feel offended in so many ways,this dude was seriously making my side hurt just being a bitch.

"Would the defendants like to say anything?" The judge asks

"I'm personally very offended by what was said,if that was to happen to everybody else in this court room I bet they would've did the same thing,after I knocked the knife out his hand he grabbed my throat and pushed me against the wall,that's a charge against him right there,then he pushed me on the floor after Nicki begged him to let me go,then while she went to the cops he stabbed me in my side,so whatever was to happen,we had every right,then he got his other knife stuck in his leg and tried to stab Nicki when he got it out,that when Christian came in and pulled him off her,Alan felt the need to try to stab Christian too so Christian reacted,Alan set this upon himself" I shrug

"What caused him to retaliate like that?" She asks

"Your honor my client and Alan have had sexual relations and he was very upset when he found out she didn't want to pursue a relationship" My lawyer says

"Did you lead him on?" The judge asks

"No,he came on to me and I told him I didn't wanna go that far,he didn't care I was married and after I told her he tried to come on to me again,I've been ignoring him since and that's when he came over to the house,he told me if he can't have me no one can and that's when he pulled out the knife" Nicki says

"The knife actually came into contact with my skin,it just wasn't that bad to go to a hospital,I was in the studio with Ciara that day and when we stopped at her house she took a awfully long time so I went in,I was scared for my life when he tried to stab me too,so I got a knife and stabbed him when he tried to use the knife on me for the second time" Christian says

"Like I said to the cop,regardless of what happens I was just trying to protect my friends then myself" He adds

"My clients would like to sue for $1 million for emotional distress and have them sentenced to prison" Their lawyer says

Oh hell no! That's over $330k each,this is a drag,and jail?! Hoes got me fucked up!

"Let's take a look at the security footage" The judge says

They play the tape and as it gets to the part where Alan stabbed me I hear his parents gasp. The tape ends and the judge has an astonished look on her face.

"I hear by sentence the defendants not guilty in a act of self defense,with funeral payments,case dismissed" The judge says

She bangs her gabble and everyone stands up. My parents and friends hug me and I sigh. This was stressful.
