Till Death Do Us Part?

Framed and Arrested (Part 2)

Rose POV

I've been in here in jail for a few days now, and I really want to get out. There is a bunch of crazy people in here. It also stinks in here, and the beds are just pretty much concrete with no cushion on them. In a few hours I will have my trial. I got a good lawyer his name is Peter Stone, I heard he's the best lawyer, and he will fight for you until there's nothing more he could do. Joe has got to come and see me a few times but it wasn't that long because the restrictions and policies are stupid. There is not much I can do or prove that I wasn't the killer. I was always taught that you've got to keep your head high and to also never show fear. Yes I am scared and I'm afraid of how long I'll have to stay in prison. I just hope Peter has found some evidence that I ain't the killer and that I'm being set up.

*at the trial*

A lot of people if not all the people from the firehouse are here in court. They know and they believe I did not kill the girl. "Alright Miss Jones please tell the court and the judge where you was the night of Abigail death." Abigails lawyer asked. "Like I told Detective Lindsay and Detective Antonio, Me and Seth went out for a friend reunion dinner, that was around 8:00, me and him had dinner and talked until 9:20ish. I got home at 9:43 then rested for the rest of the night." Abigail's lawyer turned around to the table that had the knife that had in my purse. "Is this the knife, Miss Jones, that was in your purse?" The the lawyer asked me. "Yes sir, it is, but I did not use it, and I have never used it on anybody to harm them in anyway, nor have I ever threaten them with it." I responded back to the lawyers question. "Okay Mrs Jones why is there fingerprints on this knife that are yours?" He asked me and I just looked at him stupid. "Why do you think my fingerprints on it?" I asked him sarcastically. "Okay Miss Jones, let me rephrase that. Why is Abigail's blood on your knife?" He asked me. "I do not know why Abigail's blood is on my knife, but I can tell you that I'm being set up and framed. I have never harmed anyone nor have I ever thought about it. I am a paramedic I help people not kill them." I responded back getting irritated at this point, because nobody was believing me. I looked over at Joe he gave me a small smile which made me better. I was asked to move from the stand and back to the chair beside Peter. The few other witnesses go up there and said that they 'saw' me with Seth, and we had Abigail with us. I think its a bunch of bull this was all set up from Seth. I knew at this point there was no hope for me, and I think Peter knew to. I'm not mad at Peter, because he gave it all he could. There was a small break for the judge to decide my sentence. It felt like years before they started again, because I know deep down that at this point my life was over. I would never be able to spend a normal life, a life with Joe, I would never get to have kids, nor would I have a life with my firehouse family. I thought when I signed up to be a paramedic and to leave the rough life I thought I could have a normal life again, and get away from the bad, but I was wrong. I just can't believe that someone would want to frame such an awful thing like killing a human being on someone just so put them away for good. After all I have done I've got to say I am proud and I guess I did succeed a little bit of my life. I know when I leave this courtroom that it will be the last time I will ever get to see my friends, and the love of my life. Sure, they can come and see me, but it will never be the same.

*30 minutes later

The judge comes back in with his decision. "Rose Jones, you will be found guilty by the court of law of the murder of Abigail Rogers. You will be doing life in prison with no bail." He finishes. I can see Abigails parents hug each other out of the corner of my eye. "I'm sorry Rose, I did everything I could." Peter said to me. "Don't be, you did everything you could, thank you." I told Peter. I turned around to everyone from the firehouse. They all had tears in their eyes. "Listen guys I want to say thank you for everything you guys have done for me. When I joined 51 I didn't know what to expect, but you guys showed me that I still had hope for my life, thank you guys so much." I said trying to not let the tears spill. "You guys gave me the best, thank you. I hope everyone of you guys live your life to the fullest because anything could happen in just a split second. I love you so much." I said. I leaned over to Joe and gave him one last kiss, before I was taken away.

Joe POV

In the blink of an eye, Rose, my beautiful, funny, sweet, Rose was gone. I couldn't believe it. Why? Why? Why? Was all I kept asking myself. I wish I could help her more , I wish could have been there for her , I wish I never left to go to Florida, and I wish I knew who did this to her. I won't give up on her. I will not stop until I find the person responsible for this, but until then there's nothing more I could do but wish her the best.
