Demi's POV
"I declare James Grey guilty to 20 years of prison," the judge rules and a huge smile breaks out over my face.
We won! Now, they just have to catch Will, who they said, if he was caught, would immediately be imprisoned for 5 years and would get a ruling after that.
I hug Jasmine and Wilmer comes to hug us as well. Then, we leave to go home. I still won't feel safe letting Jasmine go anywhere alone, but I know that she's growing up. As soon as Will is caught, we will go out shopping or something to celebrate.
At home, Jasmine hugs both me and Wilmer, then leaves us alone going up to her room.
Wilmer kisses me on the cheek, then asks, "Do you think I should sell my house and move in permanently?"
"If you want to," I reply, "but, Wilmer, you love your house!"
"I know," he says, "but I love you and Jasmine more."
"That's so sweet!" I exclaim, smiling.
He hugs me and then we get to making lunch together. Sure, I'm not the best cook, but Wilmer makes it fun and by the end of the day, I only love him more.
Jasmine's POV
I don't act like I don't know what's going on with Mom and Wilmer. They're obviously in love, and I love Wilmer like a father, but I don't understand how he could just drop his whole life just for Mom and I. I don't think we're that special. Mom's been taking a break from work for a while. I definitely don't mind since it means that I get to spend more time with her, even though I do still have to go to school for another month or so until I'm done grade 6.
When we get home from the court, I hug Mom and Wilmer, then walk up to my room, leaving them alone. I sit on my floor, leaning against my bed, and lightly strum my guitar, working on my song. I want to have it done by Mom's birthday so that I can surprise her with it.
"Goodnight, Jazzy," Mom says through my door, later that evening.
"Goodnight, Mom," I reply, "I love you."
"Love you, too," she says, leaving to go to her room.
Although I'm exhausted, I don't want to sleep, so I sit up working on lyrics until after midnight. Tomorrow is Sunday, anyways. I smile when I realize that I didn't even want to cut today, I didn't even think about it until now; I know that I would be able to stop by myself.
