Through The Trial

Chapter 7

On Thursday morning Jones came up to me a asked me a very simple question. "Will you accompany me to the senior ball." One thing about this is you had to pay for tickets a least two weeks in advance so that would be the day his dad whipped him he said he had something special planned o-my-word he was going to ask me to the dance that day.
"Yes of course." I said kissing him. "That day you were going to ask me weren't you" my stupid mouth I had to bring it up.
"Yeah I was, look Ames I would do anything for you, you know that right I love you so much" he said.
Did I mention that tickets cost $20 a piece and he doesn't that much money.
The day went by slowly no big fights no people being mean to us. Just a normal day.
The next I went dress shopping. What I want to look good tomorrow and forget about Saturday I was helping build the case from the medical side see through reading the autopsy report that she was stabbed at least 10 times and lost a great amount of blood was stabbed in no vital place but that would be used against us since Jones filed murder one. But I can quickly fire back on them but I need to quit thinking about Saturday the dance is tomorrow and I love it. Dress shopping took me forever see today is senior skip day it was 11:00 o'clock by the time I found the best dress for me. The dress is floor length tight at the top and loose and full a at the bottom the top is blue and the bottom is pink. I love it a took a picture so my hair and makeup would match. I ate a quick bite for lunch before going to the spa. At the spa I meet up with Molly and Katie we talked while getting a full spa treatment.
"Mol what's wrong you. You look so upset." Katie said.
"I got into Duke and Cambridge. I want to go to Duke but dad wants me to go to Cambridge." Mol said.
"I know you love your dad but it's your college experience. He can't tell you where to go. It's you and he can't tell you where to go." I said.
"Thanks" Molly said "o-my-word what is Jones doing in the Castle's. Looks like he is getting a ring or something. You two are so cute."
"How do you know it's for her it could be for someone else they just started to date he is not a person to just jump the gun on anything. It's not like you really love him right." Katie said.
"Wow your just a ray of sunshine he is not a cheater and is not jump the gun on anything. We're seventeen he knows I am not ready for anything yet and yes I really love him so just please get over yourself". I said
When the spa treatment was done I went home just two more hours till the dance.
I got home and did my makeup after laying my dress bag down I could not let Jones see it till I am fully ready. I did my hair in a tight curls so they would fall out just a little my makeup was light. I wanted to look real for the most wonderful dance in my life well at for now. I changed into my dress and went down stairs.
"Wow you look wow" Jones said "I can't even put it words you look beautiful." Then he lightly kissed me. "I love you, you know"
"Yeah I know I love you to."
When we got to the dance. Jones got a little nervous I really didn't know why. But I had a guess.
Grabbing my hand he spines me saying "Let's dance."
For what felted like the longest time we only danced. Then he said "I need to just tell you how much I love you I need to promise you that I will always love you." Then he pulled out a promise ring.
"On my word. Jones just wow I don't know what to say." I said.
He then slipped the promise ring on my left hand as our promise of one day for ever.
Then he kissed my lightly and very appropriately for the time. We danced to the end of the night.
Molly and Katie walked up
"We had to ditch our dates for just a second you two will never leave each other's side will you" Katie said.
Molly started to cry a little.
"Hey what's wrong" I said letting go of Jones hand going to give her a hug.
Molly said "Me and John are over I saw he kissing Brenda I can't deal with his crap anymore I just broke up with him. I don't know what to do he's David's and Jones's best friend and I am you guys best friend it will just be hard to figure something out."
"Girls night out okay" Katie said. "Let's do it on Monday"
"Deal" I said Molly shook her head only then went off to the bathroom wanting to be alone.
"Now everyone join in on the couples dance." said Jacob the DJ for the night.
"Hey I know this is not the right time but John has be off the bus for awhile David and I have been keeping up appearances with him for Molly but he said that 'life is short what happens if I make it shorter.' We both know what that means but when"
That's when Brenda screamed and John dropped to the floor really hurt he had stabbed himself with a knife and a note fell out of his hand.
Being the people we are Jones and I walked over. I put pressure on the wound he wasn't dead yet so I had to help I know it sounds funny but when Katie walked over to me I said "Get me a pad and a towel quickly."
Jones read the note to me and it said
Dear whoever may be reading this,
No one understands what it is like to be thought of a cheat and a lier. To be put through thick and thin no matter where or what. You could not seen to toil put onto me my my parents I never showed soon they started hit me every once and a while.
Goodbye forever,
John Timothy Whitehall

Jones looked like he was going to throw up and one girl said "ungrateful little jerk could he even see that others might have it worse." The things I asked for got back in time he had be been dumb and pulled out the knife so I lay the pad down where I would put presser to stop the bleeding then put the towel on top him barely breathing but still on the paramedics got there we all recounted the events of the night that pertained him. We went home after they talked to me telling I did a good job trying to stop the bleeding but there won't be much they can to to save him because of the damage to his heart it didn't surprise me much but gave me a good point in Jones case which I need to work on tomorrow.
Jones hasn't said a word since finishing the letter he always been so strong and nothing like anyone I ever meet.
"I can't just act like that didn't make me mad I know I had it bad but how bad did he have it does make since how some don't see what's in front of them he never found his anchor and Molly could have been she was in love with him it feels like he didn't even try. I am glad I found my anchor you are my anchor and I love you so much." He said when we got home and of course out of our dress clothes into our Pjs and where sitting on the couch.
"Love you too" I said. Leaning over to kissing him. After awhile my dad came in.
"What are you two home so early" Dad said. We had just found out that John had died 15 minutes before. Yeah a jerk died but honestly he was our friend he made mistakes like the rest of us but can we really judge on that. I mean he was only human right.
"John stabbed himself so that dance was let out early" I said "and he died a few minutes ago. Oh no it's Molly I have to take this."
Walking out of the room I answered the phone.
"Hey Mol how about you come over and pig out on ice cream and talk okay." I said hopefully. "Katie can come to I know she's with you. Let's take that girls night out and make it a girls night in"
"That would be great be there in a few." Molly said I could tell she was beyond sad. I buzzed George to tell him to let them in he said "That's a go".
Jones was behind me be turned me around before I knew he was even there and kissed me it was great honestly and then said "Tomorrow we can talk okay I love you,"
"You only have said it about a million times today I know and we have a lot to talk about." I said.
"The only reason I tell you so much is I can't and I won't lose you ever got that." He said leaving to go to bed.
When Molly and Katie got here Molly said "Okay just listen I am in love with John he was arrogant and cocky and egotistical and a flat out jerk at times but he was also a good listener and good friend and just mine mostly we would fight over the stupidest things at times and I loved that because it kept me from fighting with anyone else. He was trouble yet not. His parents hate me because of how far we went and I have never told anyone of this it only happen a month ago we slept together and I am so ashamed but what is done is done that's when it got bad for him his parents treated him like a pest and stress of becoming a dad got to him he freaked out and I know now and don't tell anyone this, Brenda would be even more crushed than I know she is but he only kissed her to not let me get hurt when he killed himself in the end he didn't want to hurt me. I love him so much I don't know what to do all I know is I can't go to Duke. Cambridge is closer and Dad said he would pay if I go there so he can help with the baby please don't hate me I broke our promise to obtain from sex and broke it I'm so sorry." We ate our ice cream and then went to bed tried from all the nights events. We retired to bed.
