After months of fighting, Joanna Klein finally proved Jacob's innocence. You were his girlfriend before this whole Ben thing started. Typical teenage love. You knew his parents, he knew your parents. You went to the movies together, ice skating, on all those teenage dates. You sat together at school, holding hands – that typical, beautiful teenage love.

Until Jacob was tried. You couldn't see him; his lawyer forbade you, and your parents weren't okay with it either. You two were young, in love, and stupid. And then you were forbidden to be young, in love, and stupid.

When, after all these months, everything was resolved, you were able to see him again. You were able to be in his house, in his room, in his parents' house again. You had very little contact during this whole thing, but you were still together. Now you know that even the possibility of jail time can't keep you apart.

You showed up at his house the day after his trial. Not too early, because he probably wanted to sleep off all those months of stress, but not too late, because Jacob and his parents were having their usual movie night. So you showed up as usual—in the afternoon, just like you always did after school.
