Are you required to show up for a deposition?
If you are the deponent, yes. If you are the plaintiff or defendant and they are deposing a witness or the other party, you are entitled to attended but it is not required.

You were subpoena as a victim to court your boyfriend hit you?
Too many variables to answer the question. How serious was the assault? What was he charged with? Were there witnesses to it? What (if any) is his criminal record? (it would have a bearing on the severity of the prosecution) If you were served with a subpoena to testify as a witness, I suggest that you appear as directed. If not, the judge COULD issue a warrant for your arrest and compel you to appear.
