Happy March! I can't believe we're already three months in 2018. Time sure flies.
Enjoy the chapter! :)
A/N I feel like I need to put a disclaimer. So, I don't know a lot about detective work and all that stuff so I'm just pointing out that everything that is said is for the story plot.
Dan's P.O.V.
"I can't believe I mean so much to someone for them to incorporate my name into their child's name... that's forever." Phil exclaimed.
I chuckled and shrugged my shoulders. "What can I say, Philip is a strong name." I said cheekily.
Phil was opening up a lot more nowadays and honestly, nothing's has made me happier than him remembering and smiling and just being Phil.
Amongst our chatter and giggling, there was a knock heard at the door before a Angela appeared with Detective Grey.
"Hi Dan, Phil. Detective Grey is here to speak with you." And with that, she let the Detective walk in before she excused herself out.
"Detective Grey? Is something wrong?" I asked, noticing the look on her face almost immediately.
"Mr. and Mr. Lester, we found evidence that Mr. Witz was the reason for you being here." She said.
Phil looked at me confused. We didn't tell him about Jonathan.
"Mr. Witz? Who's that?"
Detective Grey looked at me, confused as to why Phil didn't know who she was speaking about. I shook my head at her, signalizing I never told him.
I turned to look at Phil, regret sprawled across my features all while taking his hands in mine. Sucking in a deep breath, I began to explain.
"Jonathan Witz was my bully all throughout my life. Ever since we could walk and talk, he patronized me every single second he could. One day, I was in the hallway at school when I encountered him again. He started beating me until you came out of nowhere and beat him almost to death." I began. Phil's eyes widened.
"He put me in the hospital because I beat him up?" He asked in disbelief.
"You've beat him up quite a few times actually, only once was for me." I said quietly.
I could tell Phil was incredibly confused. "Why did I beat him up before?"
Biting my lips, I couldn't bear look him in the eyes. "It's not my place to say, it's your parents'."
"But you're my husband. It should be your place to say." He said incredulously.
I shook my head and looked up. "Not this." I turned my attention back to Detective Grey who was standing quietly off to the side. "You were saying?"
She cleared her throat before speaking again. "We have a witness and security camera footage."
"A witness?" I asked.
She nodded her head. "You'll have a chance to meet with them, both of you."
I was silent. I didn't know what to say.
"So, what now?" I finally coughed out.
"Now we'll review the security footage scene by scene and we'll bring the witness in for questioning. After we assess all that needs be, we'll bring you both in to face him if you want to. We'll go from there." She finished.
Nodding my head, I tried making sense of it all. "And since Jonathan is the one behind this, what's going to happen to him?"
"That's up to a judge but if anything, he'll be having jail time for attempted vehicular manslaughter."
"Can we have his name?" I asked. "The witness."
She frowned slightly. "Not right now unfortunately due to legal issues. You'll find out soon though don't worry."
Detective Grey soon left us after that, the room is filled with uncertain silence.
"Dan?" Phil's voice sounded so small.
My attention turned to the man in the bed. "Hmm?"
"What are you not telling me? Do I have some weird family member I don't know about?" He asked in a joking manner, not being serious but being completely serious at the same time.
Sighing, I took his hand and interlaced our fingers. "Your parents will tell you. Ask them and they'll tell you."
I can't tell him about her... I can't handle seeing his heart break all over again.
I asked my dad if there's such a thing as attempted vehicular manslaughter and he went all penal code on me so I didn't bother and gave up and went with my own stuff lmao
I hope you all enjoyed and I will see you soon with the next chapter!
Bye guys :)
