I have decided that I'm just going to finish up the story in this chapter, so it may be a long one lol.
And once again, I know this is not how things work, but for my story it is :).
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot.
So heres the final chapter....
As Alice pulled up outside the garda station I felt knots form in my stomach; what if the evidence wasn't enough?? what if they thought that it was a set up and not really Tanya on the tape??
"Ready??" Alice asked
"As I'll ever be" I smiled slightly at her.
I hopped out of the car as Alice locked it behind us. She practically ran over to me and nearly knocked me over.
"Calm down Alice" I laughed slightly at her enthusiasm.
"Bells you have no idea how thankful I am! you got my brother out of jail!!" Alice screamed.
"I haven't got him out yet" I pointed out
"We have a confession Bells!! What more could they want??" Alice retorted, she did have a point I suppose.
"And you know the best part?" I smiled wickedly
"Ohhh what?" Alice was obviously intrigued
"Tanya can be done for peverting the course of justice (A/N think thats what its called? Im not really good with things like that)"
"Ya know, I never even thought about that" Alice laughed
"As much as I would love to stay here and discuss it with you, I have a boyfriend to get out of jail" I stated as I made my way once again into the garda station reception area.
I knocked on the glass as Alice stood beside me, after a second the same garda as the other day came to the glass and opened it.
"How may I help you miss?" He asked in his country accent.
"I would like to see Detective Murray please" I smiled politely at him.
"May I ask what its concerning?"
"Edward Cullen" I replied shortly
"I will get him now for you, if you just wait over in them seats" he pointed to the uncomfortable seats against the wall, I just smiled and walked away.
I sat in the a seat and just thought. I thought about what it would be like with Edward back, I know that it had only been a few days since I last seen him, but I really did miss him. I suppose when you love someone any time that you spend apart you miss them like hell. My train of thought was interrupted by Alice nudging me.
"What?" I akedd clearly irritated
"Touchy" she laughed and then pointed to a tall, broad man walking towards us.
"Yea?' I asked as I scrucnched my face up.
"I think thats Detective Murray" Alice said in a 'duh' tone of voice
"Ohhhh" I whispered as the man was nearly in front of us now.
"Hello, my name is Adrian Murray. I heard you were looking for me, something about Edward Cullen?" He asked formally
"Yes, I have some evidence I would like to show you" I replied as formally as him
"Alright, follow me then please" He stated as he made his way down the same corridor as the other day and led us into a room to the right.
"Take a seat" He smiled at Alice and I. We both took our seats.
"You have evidence?" He aimed the question at me.
"I believe so, I have a confession from Tanya" I explained, inside my heart was beating so hard I was sure that even Edward could hear it wherever he was.
"A confession of what?"
"That she set Edward up, that he was with her that night and she changed her statement after he dumped her" I stated calmly, alot calmer than I felt anyway.
"Right, were is this confession?" He asked and I pulled the tape recorder out of my bag and handed it to him.
He looked at it for the second and then pressed the play button. There was a bit of crackiling to begin with but then myy voice could clearly be heard...
"Why??"
"Sorry, I don't get you" Tanya's sickly sweet voice spoke
"Oh cut the crap Tanya. You and I both know that you got Edward arrested" I winced as I realised for the first time how loud I asctually shouted.
"Thats some accusation" I gagged, you could practically hear the smugness in her voice.
"So is rape!"
"Oh come on he deserved it! sure he didn't rape Lauren but who's to say he never raped anyone else?? I wouldn't put it past him. He got what he deserved" at this point I looked up to Detective Murray and he seemed quite shocked, I presumed that was a good thing.
"You can't say that! you know he didn't rape Lauren, he was with you that night"
"I know that, and so does Edward. But the police don't and thats what counts"
"So why do it then?!"
"Coz he dumped me, nobody dumps me and gets away with it"
"Oh just get over yourself!!"
He stopped the tape and looked at me.
"Well, I must say you have done a good job there Miss..." He trailed off
"Swan"
"Miss Swan" He smiled "I believe that this is sufficient evidence to let Edward go"
I practically jumped on him there and then, he laughed slightly. For once, Alice seemed to have kept herself more composed than me.
"And Tanya and Lauren??" Alice asked
"Well we will look into Tanya getting done for peverting the course of justice and will definitely be getting done for wasting police time" He explained, huge smiles spread across both mine and Alice's faces.
"When will Edward be out??" I asked excitedly
"In about an hour or so, there's just some paperwork that has to be done. If you two could just wait here until then" He stated as he made his way out of the room.
"We did it!!" I yelled as Alice jumped on me as soon as the door was shut.
"I can't believe it" I whispered, more to myself than to Alice.
"Well believe it Bells, oh my god we owe you so much" Alice said as she pulled away from our hug
"No, I get my boyfriend back, that is enough thanks for me" I grinned widely
"Don't be stupid! you saved my brother, if it wasn't for your plan he could be in here for years!"
"You can buy me a take away tonight and we will call it evens" I laughed
"Deal" Alice giggled.
We both composed ourselves and set down in silence for a little while. Every minute that passed felt like forever it was kind of like that JLS song..
Every minutes like an hour
Every hours like a day
Everyday lasts forever
But what else am I guna do?
I'd wait forever and a day for you
That pretty much sums up how its been for me over the last few days without Edward.
Eventually Edward walked through the doors with the biggest grin on his face.
"Edward!!" I screamed as I ran over to him and he picked me up and twirled me round.
"Thank you" He whispered in my ear.
"You don't have to thank me, I'm as happy as you are that you are out" I whispered into his ear.
"Bells, you saved my life hun" He smiled as he put me back down on my feet.
"I also saved mine" I said simply. I heard someone clear their throat behind me and I realised that it was Alice, I had completely forgotten about her being there, I was just so happy to be there in his arms.
"Bro" Alice shouted as she hugged him, well it looked more like a rugby tackle to me but I'm sure to her it was just a hug.
"Sis" Edward laughed that angelic laugh of his, a few days ago I thought that I wouldn't hear that for a long long time.
We soon made our way back to the Cullen house. Obviously all of Edwards family were glad to see him and thanful to me. I don't really see why, what I did was as selfish as it was kind. As much as they had missed him they did give Edward and I some time alone that evening. As promised Alice brought me a take away. Edward and I watched 'The Notebook'. If I was honest I spent alot more time studying Edwards face and his reaction to everything that was going on in the film; I had seen it a thousand times anyway.
I don't remember much else, I fell asleep in Edwards arms that night and thats the way that it was supposed to be.
Three Months Later
Good evening and welcome to the 5 o'clock news. My name is Marie O'Conner.
Today Tanya Denali and Lauren Molloy were both sentenced to two years each. Tanya for peverting the court of justice and Lauren for wasting police time.
They have both already served three months of their sentence. And with good behaviour they should both be out in just over a year.
