A/N:

In this story the character names belong to Stephenie Meyer but the chapter titles come from William Shakespeare's epic tale, Romeo & Juliet. The slash is all my idea.

Chapter 165. There lies the man slain by young Romeo.

I looked up on hearing the inflammatory words to see whom Laurent was talking to, and was livid when I realized it was the Commissioner of Police, Aro Prince. That asshole was skewing the whole incident to discredit my family, so I strode over to the pair to repair the damage.

"Sir," Jasper addressed the grim-faced peacekeeper. "My little brother was forced into that action; the shooting was purely self-defense. Swan had already shot Mr. Masen and knifed Mr. Reid. Edward only fired the weapon when Swan threatened that he'd be next and lunged at him. Edward is only seventeen."
