JAEDEN

The smile never left my face, not even when I ran all the way to Wyatt's and didn't stop until my feet reached his door.

"Hey...wait for...us, Jae" Jack panted.

I frowned but chuckled.

"Jack, it's only like a hundred feet or so"

Finn looked down at him.

"What?" Jack said defensively. "I hate running, okay?"

The three of us chuckled as I rolled my eyes and knocked on Wyatt's door. The second I heard feet shuffling across the floor, I smiled. I couldn't stand still.

The door opened and I quickly tackled Wyatt in a hug. He stumbled a bit but caught himself, wrapping his arms tight around me.

"Oh, baby" he cooed in my ear. "I missed you"

"I missed you, too" I whispered.

I pulled away and he smiled as he cupped my face in his hands, his dimples prominent in his perfect cheeks.

"Everything okay?" he questioned tenderly.

"Everything is great" I grinned goofily and kissed his cheek. "We have good news"

He eyed me curiously then glanced at Finn and Jack.

"Are you two pranking me?"

"Nope, serious" Finn smiled. "We have a plan. Gonna invite us in or you just gonna cockblock the doorway?"

Wyatt chuckled and moved dramatically out of the way.

"This way, sir" he joked, and Finn patted his shoulder as he and Jack moved past him.

I rolled my eyes playfully as Wyatt smiled and grabbed my hand. He led me inside, and together the four of us say down.

"So...what's going on guys? You said you have some sort of plan?" Wyatt queried as we settled.

Finn glanced at me and I nodded.

"Well, basically, we talked to your friend Joe, and it turns out that he may have a way to end this whole...feud...with us and those assholes, Logan, Jake and Owen" he explained. "Joe says that Nic's father protects them, that he's the chief of police. He also said though that the town judge hates him, and has been trying to find a way to put all of them behind bars for a while now but he has no proof. If we can get enough witnesses...Joe, you, me, Jack, Jae, Angela, Millie...we could end this. We just have to gather people and talk to the judge. Jaeden is evidence of what they've done, and seven witnesses is more than enough for a trial, maybe even an arrest"

Wyatt listened intently. By the end of Finn's explanation, along with some more details from Jack, he signed deeply and rested his folder hands against his lips as he leaned forward, lost in thought.

"Baby?" I whispered gently, and held his arm tenderly.

"So, we just need witnesses to testify?" he finally asked softly.
