A/N: Again, I'm not a lawyer so I don't know all the legal detail. This is the last chapter and mostly ties everything together. Sorry it's so short but thanks to all who stuck with me.

All mistakes are my own.

Sunday Lindsay spent time with her parents but all she really wanted to do was spend time with Danny. Monday was uneventful but on Tuesday Lindsay noticed that Lexie wasn't in class. Wednesday after class she got a call from Lexie that Jason was arrested and was awaiting trial which was set for the following week.

Danny and Lindsay spent as much time as possible together. On Friday they got a second chance to be intimate after school when both of Lindsay's parents were at work. Lindsay really just loved lying in Danny's arms, it brought her comfort.

When the trial date finally approached it was set for Monday afternoon. Lindsay and Danny both went to the court house after school let out. They walked in as Lexie was testifying.

"I was looking for my coat when I heard someone walk in behind me…" she was saying. It had turned out that once news spread that Jason was going on trial for rape, a few other girls came forward with similar stories and were able to join in the suit. Lindsay had been the only one that had been interrupted by Madison, none of the other girls had been that lucky.

The evidence Lexie told Lindsay about was presented and more testimonies from the other girls were heard. The trial continued for the next few days. On the last day by the time school was over the jury was out deliberating.

When the jury came back and handed the clerk a piece of paper it was brought to the judge who read it and then said, "Does the jury have a verdict?"

"Yes we do, your honor," the forewoman replied. "We the jury, find Jason Devreaux guilty as charged."

The judge decided that the sentencing hearing would take place on Friday and then thanked the jury and dismissed them.

Lindsay and Danny were able to sit in on the sentencing hearing since they took the day off from school. The teachers understood Lindsay's need for closure. Lexie sat next to Lindsay for support as the sentence was read.

It was determined that Jason would get some jail time but he would probably get out on parole with good behavior. He also had to join the sex offender registry as well as go into a therapy group for rapists.

After the sentence was read everyone stood up and began moving around. Lindsay let out a breath and hugged Lexie. Lindsay may have not been able to bring charges against Jason but she was happy that someone else could.

She turned to Danny and kissed him and he wrapped her in a hug. "It's over," he whispered into her ear to which she whispered back, "yea, it is."

Back at school Lindsay and Lexie became pretty good friends. While she loved Danny, it was nice to be able to do some girly things with Lexie like shopping. Danny didn't mind as long as Lindsay was happy but he was also able to work more after school which meant more money to go on dates and buy gifts for Lindsay.

After Jason was found guilty Madison just brushed it off and soon found a new boyfriend. She still managed to have a group of girls following her every lead and Lindsay couldn't help but think that some things never change.

The school found a new Biology teacher, a 40 year old woman who used to teach in Chicago but moved mid term due to her husband getting a transfer to New York. She was nice and very passionate about the subject.

The Messer's and Monroe's still managed to have dinner together once in a while switching between the two houses.

As the weeks until summer break became less and less Lindsay found herself getting more and more excited. Danny was going to visit his mother and his sister Giovanna in LA for the month of July and Lindsay was going to take a college level course at UCLA for the same month. Danny's mother didn't live too far from UCLA so they would get to see a lot of each other.

Lindsay made sure to find a therapist at the university so she would be able to continue her sessions. She wanted to have a consistency with her sessions so she could continue to get better. It was important to her and it was nice to be able to unload on someone instead of keeping everything locked up.

Arrangements were made for Danny's sister Giovanna to pick both Lindsay and Danny up from the airport and help Lindsay move her stuff into her dorm room. Giovanna had heard a lot about Lindsay and was excited to meet her.

At the airport in New York Mr. and Mrs. Monroe as well as Mr. Messer said their good-byes to Danny and Lindsay at the security check point. Danny put out his hand for Lindsay which she took and said, "Follow me," which she gladly did.

The End


A/N: So there you have it. After I believe 7-8 months I finally finished updating this fic. Sorry for the minimal dialoge in this shapter.
