A New Chapter Begins...

Part 100

'You arrive home and Tom drags you inside to everyone else'

You: Hey everyone

Kristen: Hey! We've got some great news!

Mr. Holland: There are enough things here to either put your family in jail or keeping them away

You: Okay, what do we need to do?

Mr. Holland: We need you to get Jacob on our side

You: What?

Tom: In order for this to work, we need another inside member

You: But wouldn't he go down too?

Mr. Holland: Maybe, but if he can help then we can get him something smaller

You: I don't know if he'll go for that

Tom: Didn't he want to help though?

You: He did, but I don't know if he would be willing to go back to jail

Harrison: It doesn't hurt to ask him though
Tom: You do have his number, and I'll go with you

You: Alright. I'll call him after dinner, and I'll really need all of your help

Kristen: We'll all be there

You: And thank you for your help Mr. Holland

Mr. Holland: Of course. It's time for all of us to be truly happy, and for you guys to start your lives

You: I've already started my life, and I'm so glad it's had all of you

Tom: I love you so much shortie

You: I love you more Spidey. And you two as well

Kristen: I've always loved you

Harrison: And you've been amazing to my best friend

Mr. Holland: My son picked the most amazing girl

You: And I picked the most amazing guy

Tom: Thanks guys

You: Alright let's get some dinner

'You all eat dinner and enjoy feeling the normalness for the time being. You help Mrs. Holland clean up and put away the dishes'

You: Alright. Ready Spidey?

Tom: Yeah. We can take our time on this one

You: But it has to happen tonight

'You walk up with Tom and pull a piece of paper out of your drawer'

Tom: You okay?

You: Yeah, I'm just not sure what he's going to say

Tom: It's okay, we'll roll with it

'You pull out your phone and dial Jacob'

Jacob: Hello

You: Hi Jacob...umm...

Jacob: Are you okay?

You: Yeah. I just need to ask you something

Jacob: Of course, anything

You: Would you be willing to testify against mom and dad?

Jacob: Yes. I want to help

You: You know you could go back to jail

Jacob: I do, but after everything you've been through, you deserve to be happy. And I'll do anything to help

You: Great. I'll keep in touch. Thank you so much, Jacob

Jacob: Anything for my little sister

'Jacob hangs up and Tom wraps you in a hug'

Tom: I'm so proud of you shortie

You: How are we going to do this?

Tom: By telling the truth

You: And what happens if I can't do it?

Tom: What do you mean?

You: What If I break down and can't talk or I just have another anxiety attack?

Tom: y/n—

You: What if I squeeze my hands and I start to bleed? What if—

Tom: Stop! Take a breath. We have to continue our lives. This isn't going to happen tomorrow

You: You don't get it

Tom: Then help me get it

You: I could ruin everything

Tom: No, if any of that happens, it will show the trauma you've endured your entire life. You're going to show them the strength you have to stand up

You: You think so?

Tom: I know so. I wouldn't have brought it up if I didn't think you were strong enough to get through it

You: I love you Spidey
