Chapter 315: Waiting

Jarrod's POV:

We're all waiting.

Waiting for the twelve people that are currently in the jury room to come to a decision. I'm sat next to Tallulah but I'm restless. My feet want to pace the room so instead they tap on the floor.

The barristers' closing arguments are running through my mind on repeat. The defence called Tallulah a liar. The prosecutor said she was a brave survivor. Each told a different story.

"Many women unlike Tallulah never brave this court. They never report what men like Mr Roderick have done to them," the prosecutor had said.
