Chapter 207: I Love Him
(JERICHO)
"No one’s bullying anyone." Sasha studies Wesley closely. "Your father wants me and everyone in my family dead. Tell me, Wesley. Would you want someone like that in your family?"
"I am not my father. And if it helps, I hate my father." Sweat breaks out of Wesley’s face and his breathing picks up. "I’m not like them. That’s why I left. They hated that I was nothing like them, and they constantly berated me for it. I don’t know how else I can convince you, but I’m nothing like them." He says in a hoarse voice.
"How can we be sure?" Sasha insists.
"I don’t know. I don’t know know how I can prove anything else to you."
"You don’t have to prove anything to him." I hug Wesley and glare angrily at my brother.
"You have to. If you want my blessing."
Tyler gets up. "isn’t it enough proof already that Wesley protected Jericho and baby Reign? I think if there’s something to speak to Wesley’s motives, it’s that. We know that the Sharks clan helped to orchestrate that move with the Sawyer clan. If Wesley had been in on that, he would have let Jericho and baby Reign die at the park."
"Exactly." I add. "I wouldn’t have been alive today if Wesley wasn’t with me in the park that day. He risked his life and jumped right in front of me to save me. He didn’t have to do that."
"Who knows, maybe he was trying to put a front to trick us." Sasha grimaces.
"No." I roll my eyes. "If he was on the Sayers side, he’d have gladly left me to die. Come on, Sasha. You know that is true. As much as the Sawyers hate us?"
