Buying Love Chapter 77 Update on TWCS
I was sitting anxiously in a conference room at the Seattle
Courthouse. Bella was with me, as well as Rose and Carlisle. Uncle Peter was
working at Swan Towers and Emmett had begun investigating a new case. Liam was
in the grand jury room with Jasper. Alice was waiting outside of the room,
praying that her husband wouldn’t completely melt down. Jared was going to
testify after lunch and then the case would go to the grand jury.
“Edward, you’re going to gnaw off your fingers,” Bella said,
lowering my thumb from my mouth. I’d started biting my nails during my time in
Port Angeles and it only got worse the more anxious I became.
“Sorry,” I whispered. “I just hope that Jasper is okay. You
know?”
“He’s been working with Dr. Benson and his own therapist
down in Los Angeles. He’s doing much better since I met them in mid-October,”
Bella said. “At least, that’s what Alice said.”
“I’ll just be happy once the two of them are in here,” I
said, bringing my thumb back to my mouth. Bella snorted, taking my hand and
twining our fingers together. I smiled sheepishly.
Shortly after our argument about my fingers, Alice and
Jasper came into the conference room. Jasper was pale and covered in sweat. His
movements were jerky and he was deep in a panic attack. “Jazzy, you’re safe,”
Alice cooed, reaching into her purse. She pulled out a bottle of medication.
Rose got up and handed her a water bottle. “Deep breaths, Jazz. Esme will pay
for her crimes. You will help put her away.”
“Put her away,” Jasper choked out, gripping Alice’s jacket.
Their foreheads touched and he calmed, slightly. Alice managed to give Jasper
the medicine she took out and she breathed him, slowly and deeply. Jasper even
went so far as putting his gnarled hand on Alice’s chest, feeling her
heartbeat. With one more deep breath, he pulled her into his arms and hugged
her close. “I’m sorry, Ali. I’m so sorry.”
“Shhhhhhhhhhh, you’re okay, Jazzy,” Alice said, scratching her fingers in his hair. He looked up, cupping her face and kissed her tenderly.
