Through The Trial

Chapter 8

So when we woke up the girls they said they had to leave a console. Thou the events last night change the plan I had it helped me. The first stab to Jones mom was right bellow the heart which tells me all the other stabs could not have happened if she had stabbed herself. The pictures of her body at the scene tell me that she could not have done it ether. This I how I think the scene played out give or take a few things.
Victoria came home and Tom walked up a said "Time to make my life easier I never really love you I have been planning this for a long time" then he stabs her 10 times.
At this point Jones walks in and puts a DVD done on the table.
"Are you sure we put this in as evidence and he is completely done you told me you never share this with anyone it hurts to much Jones you don't have to do this." I said.
"I do if not he'll get out in a few years a do this again to someone else or if one day we get married" he said then paused "I can't let him hurt you I love you to much for that you are my life and my heart and this cruel man that only cares for himself needs to die or be put in prison being blunt. Massachusetts has the death penalty so I may never have to see this again after next week. I love you for being concerned but this is going to happen no matter what."
"Okay then let's give it to dad so he can work on it and go see a movie. And just relax and have fun for at least once in our crazy life." I said
Okay what movie do you want to see." He said.
I knew right away "Captain America: Winter Solder" I said hopefully
"Okay I wanted to see that too. Don't even think about paying I got this covered. I know you want to know how but I can't tell you till after the trail. I got money now and gosh lets just go." He said I knowing better don't ask him what just tell me I knew he would have a good reason for not telling me but what could it be.
We got to the movie theater and he went to the snack line wow I don't want him to have to pay for this. But I know better to fight with him. He remembered from when we were little I liked lots of butter on my popcorn and salt too. I also love putting Milk Duds I there too. He remembered what I like only thou we went to the theaters a year after my mom died.
When we got our food and drinks we went and sat down in the theater seats. The movie went on and it was good but not the best movie ever I seen but I got lost the moment forgetting that John had just killed himself and that the trail for Jones's dad forgot about the drama with dad.
"I am taking you out for supper now." Jones said.
"Where" I said
"You'll see" he said.
About a hour later we pulled into Lawyers it is a good place to eat and my favorite at that.
"You just surprise me all day you know that" I said.
"Just to tell you change is good I remember things about you because I have loved you since I don't know when I wanted change and you are the only person that can give it to me." Jones said kissing my check then before I got out he walked out and around the car and got me out. "Your my world."
We got in the restaurant and sat down he just looked at the menu knowing it like he knew me well that's how I felt.
"Hello my name is Morgan I will be your server tonight what would you guys like to drink."
"Water for me and sweet tea for her." Jones said.
"You amaze me you know so what entree am I having." I said
"Let's you love chicken and burgers and onion tangles so we'll spilt the triangle special it has all the things you want in small sizes." Jones said.
"Okay that sounds perfect." I said not exactly sure what this day is really about.
The waitress came back with our drinks and spilt my drink on my dress
"I am so sorry today is my first day on my own it is kinda scary I'll get you a new drink miss." Morgan said. She walked away.
"Does she look familiar to you" Jones asked.
"Yeah kinda there was that girl in our grade named Morgan Tillward. That moved she really looks like her. Whatever happened to her" I said.
"We can ask her what her last name" Jones said.
When Morgan returned she really looked at us for a second.
"Your Amy Lane and Jones Johns we used to go to school together." She said.
"Yeah we were just talking about that." I said "can we talk later."
"Yeah my shift gets off after your table. But what would you like to eat tonight." She said.
"The triangle special. Chicken fried with ranch dipping sauce. Burgers medium rare and opinion tangles with ranch also and we'll be spitting it so bring an extra plate." Jones said.
"So you ready to graduate yet" I said.
"As long as I get into Duke I can't image life without you" he said.
"Being a lawyer at dad's firm will mean a great relationship with him and means your going to be the best lawyer and closest one I just hope one day you can still make partner and not just a worker also are relationship to stay strong." I said.
"Your dad never has played favorites so he won't with me but your dad is strange I mean we're dating and living in the same house and he like never there how does he trust you." He said.
"I think it's more trust in you. You never pressured me into anything. You have just been there." I said. "Foods coming" he grabbed my hand across the table then held on to the food got here.
"Here guys just one quick question you two finely dating." She said almost to perky.
"Yeah we are" I said
Jones added in "a lot of things have changed since you left fill you in later. "
She left and he told me this " I know this night is mostly for but we need her help so when I told you the story about mom dying it wasn't the whole truth I wasn't the only other person there she was." A tear rolled down my cheek what was going on.
"We were studying for the chem. final well I was tutoring her I will telling at the time you know we had just had that huge fight about going out you flat out told me that day that this wasn't the time it wasn't till awhile to see that I was to blame. That night we were studying and she asked a stupid question. Trying to flirt with me I was mad at you and wanted to make you jealous and said 'I don't really know want to try'. Then we kissed. I am just telling you now and I am so sorry this day wasn't to butter you up it was to help me find the courage to tell you that she also saw more that I did with my dad killing my mom. That's one reason why she left school because she couldn't handle it. Seeing the full pain she saw and the pain she saw in my face. I love you and I am sorry for keeping this from you. I didn't want for you to find out at the trail. She will be on the stand if I can get her to."
"I have to go to the bathroom I'll be back" I said. I don't really know why but I'm hurt I remembered our fight.
"I need to talk to you Ames." Jones said.
"Yeah what about" I said.
"Know here come on" he said.
He took me around the side of the school.
"I have to tell you that you are the most beautiful girl in the whole inter world and I want you to be my girlfriend please." He said then happened our first kiss.
I was shocked and didn't know what to do I just couldn't bare the fact that he wanted me and only me we had talked about dating but I don't really know what to do so I said "Not yet Jones please not yet I can't" then I left crying.
When I got to the bathroom I broke down I should had said yes that day maybe his mom wouldn't had died. I just don't know what to do.
Morgan walked in the bathroom.
"Amy is that you" she said.
"Yeah I sorry Jones told me everything that happened the night of his mom death and now I fill somewhat guilty for her death though I couldn't stop it but I could have said yes that day." I said.
"Look that day after I kissed him he told that he just wanted to make you jealous I got upset and walked of the room If that didn't happen then I wouldn't have seen the entire murder I know your upset but nothing has happened after and I called Jones saying I was ready to talk about the murder since I heard about the trail I am happy for you really but get back out there so your boyfriend still nows you love him because you wouldn't be in here like you are if not." She said.
"Thanks for telling me that but why" I asked?
"Because you too are made for each other and sometimes you will need to be reminded."she said.
"Talk to you later I better finish my food."
I quickly walked back to the table.
"Hey you know I'm sorry I should have told you before and not gotten mad at you. I understand...." Jones said but I cut him off before he could finish
"Look you mean the world to me and I said no because I didn't know what to say I said not yet because even then I was so in love with you. I wanted something but dad was telling me to get my life settled before I made any huge decision that could change my life my college my grades and I just didn't know how to just look at you and say that you are my one and only. I love you and one stupid kiss when we weren't even dating one that would help put the one man you don't want to be around and the only prison that I hate well it's okay and I have a secret for you our first kiss made me want to say yes if you would have kissed me again I would have said yes."
"I love you too" he said taking my hand.
When we got done eating we left the restaurant and meet Morgan at the park.
"I am going to talk I have to you need me to. " Morgan said.
"Thanks Morgan I means a lot. " I said after Jones was silent for a minute.
"I have to go" she said.
"Okay" I said "see you later"
Then I kissed Jones and told him "It's okay we're okay."
" I know" Jones said "it's just I have been mad at my self since that night I didn't mean for if to happen but it did."
" I know I was not walking away because of you I walked away because I couldn't take the fact that I said no to you I been in love with you from the day I you gave me a hug a school because you heard my mom died you didn't know me and I didn't know you we where kids that just happen to grow up before others and I became your best friend and you mine."
"Let's go home we need to talk to your dad." Jones said.
We drove back home to talk with my dad about what though I don't know.
