The screen lit up with a video that had a timestamp from exactly four weeks earlier when Patrick first said he was leaving. The sound of a door slamming hard came through the speakers followed by Patrick’s furious voice which was cold and mean.
“Stay in your room because I do not want her to hear us while I tell you to finally get a grip on reality,” he shouted at me. The camera was shaking because Macy was filming the scene from behind a corner in the hallway where she was hiding in the dark.
Then Tiffany’s voice appeared on the video as she told Patrick to just make me sign the papers so they could leave together. “She will get over it eventually,” Tiffany said with a cold laugh that made my skin turn to ice while I watched the footage.
On the screen, Patrick looked at me with pure contempt before he turned and yelled at Macy to go back to her room immediately. The video ended and a heavy silence fell over the entire courtroom as everyone processed the cruel truth of what had actually happened.
