Maybe this should be my new aesthetic...am I as good of a "photographer" as Wyatt? ~Jae👑

WYATT

I held Jaeden's hand nervously as the four of us watched Joe speak with Judge Weathers. They were talking quietly, so I couldn't make out what they said, but then again, maybe it was because my heart was pumping so fast I could hear my pulse in my ears.

"Wyatt, it'll be okay, don't worry" Jaeden whispered.

I took a deep breath and turned to face him. His green eyes twinkled perfectly in the morning light dripping in the courthouse windows.

His perfect, strawberry lips curled into a warm smile, and I couldn't help but to grin at him.

"I love you" I whispered.

He squeezed my hand.

"I love you too"

A moment later, Joe walked up to us straight-faced. He didn't say anything, he just stared.

The four of us glanced at each other impatiently.

"Well?" Wyatt questioned.

Joe looked at each of us before smiling wide.

"We're on. Judge Weathers agreed to a hearing. He's tired of all the problems those boys cause and he's tired of the chief looking the other way"

"YES!" we all cheered.

Joe laughed.

"This is the first step, guys. The hearing is tomorrow, those boys won't even know what hit them. The case is against all of them, and the Judge is making sure to include all witnesses and every single detail we have on them"

Finn and Jack cheered up a storm. Neither Jaeden or I could say anything, we were speechless. Finally, we would taste the justice we deserved, after everything.

"You okay?" I asked him gently.

"Yeah" he said quietly, then smiled and looked at Joe. "Thank you, Joe"

Joe ruffled his hair and grinned before walking over to Angela. They spoke briefly before hugging.

"You know, your mom was really worried about you, Jae" I said.

"I know" he said, watching her. "She deserves justice too, for all of us, and everything I've put her through"

"Come on, baby, it's not your fault. You're just trying to be happy, nobody can fault you for that"

"Neither can anyone fault you, Wy" he rebutted.

I kissed his forehead and pulled him close.

"Thank you" I whispered into his soft, brunette locks.

After speaking a little bit more with the Judge, Joe thanked him and the court date was set: 9AM tomorrow morning. Tonight, Jake, Logan, and Owen would be taken into custody.
