Thank you for all your lovely feedback. It's nice to know you follow the story. I miss them :( Esther/Tilly are Yuck! No chemistry what so ever. Please leave a review good/bad. Happy reading x

The Judge explains to the jury that they must " make their decision based only the facts presented and not how the feel." They also must all agree on a verdict of GUILTY and NOT GUILTY.

Time had come for the jury to make a decision. This meant Jen had to wait for the outcome she just wished she just know now instead of waiting. Tilly was pacing the floor. "Tilly, stop" her mum grabbing her arm. "Mum, I'm scared what happens if she will go down I cant see her go. I love her" tears falling down her cheek. "Did I do enough for her? Did I make things worse for her? This is both of our faults for this but I love her so much it will kill me to her go down for this" her mum held out her arms for Tilly. Her mum began to realize today how much they both felt about each other. Especially when Jen declared her love to Tilly in the courtroom when she knew she could go down. Her mum had seen the way they had looked at each other.

"Sweetheart, I know this is hard for you & there really is nothing I can say. I wish I could take the pain away from you. All I can do is be here for you" comforting her daughter.

Tilly lifted her head from mother chest. "Do you think she will go down?" tears forming in her eyes. "I don't know sweetheart" wiping her daughters eyes and kissing her cheek.

Jen was standing with her brother. He was trying to take her mind off the case which wasn't working. "I think you were really brave today. I think you are with a good chance" trying to be positive.

"You think?" said Jen. "Yeah you were honest and were speaking from the heart also I think Tilly stuck up for you too" Jen smiled when Liam mentioned Tilly. Jen nodded.

"I need a drink of water you want one?" asked Liam.

"Yes, please" Jen answered.

While Liam had gone. A women came up to her "Jen can I have a word "said the tall lady with blonde hair.

"Yeah, certainly Helen" wondering what she was going to say to her.

It's about Tilly" Just hearing her name made heart flutter. "is she ok? I know she's not but you know I mean." Jen said waffling on.

"I just wanted to speak to you. I don't agree with what you too have done but I know my daughter & when she know what she wants she won't stop until she gets it and I know that must have been difficult. But it still doesn't excuse the both of you what has been done."

Jen couldn't look at Helen she had head down she felt like a naughty child. She couldn't defend herself because all what Helen was saying was true & she didn't think Jen was just in the wrong it had been the both of them.

"I know what you saying and you are right" Jen replied.

"But today I got to see you in different light I saw how much love you have my daughter even though in this situation. You could be denying all the accusation made about you & how you are declaring your love in front of the courtroom. I must say that takes guts. Tilly loves you & I know this is little late but you have my full blessing. Whatever happens?

"Thank you I really don't know what to say… you don't know how much that means to me" Jen is speechless. Finally she has someone on her side accepting her & Tilly relationship. Jen had tears in her eyes. Helen felt a little bit sorry for her.

15 minutes later the jury had made their decision & everyone was called back. Tilly & her parents had made their way to there seats. Liam and Ste were sitting quite close. Liam was really nervous for his sister.

He knew that this would happen and did try & stop it. He saw her turn into someone he didn't recognize but lately he had been seeing the old Jen. He could see how much in love Jen was with Tilly that was the problem in the first place. He just hoped that things would be different.

Everyone was silent. Jen had made her way to the stand. Her legs felt like Jelly. Tilly was crying already she felt like she was already slipping away from her. Helen held her daughter hand and gave it a squeeze.

The defense Counsel stand. "Members of the jury have you reached a verdict?

Yes your honor, we have"

The judge then asks "Members of the jury, on the case do you find the defendant guilty on not guilty?"
