Chapter 2
Marleen stood in front of her bathroom mirror placing soft pink eyeshadow on her eyes. Today was the day. She had been preparing herself physically and mentally for this. Today she was going to confess to Huey Percival Freeman. She had know the boy for a couple of months but she could not help but fall in love with him. Something about him attracted her to him. She was an ant and he was the honey.
"Marleen your friend is here!" Her mom shouted from downstairs.
Before Marleen could say anything Cindy burst through the bathroom door.
"Cindy!" She shouted.
"What if Kyle was in here?"
"Kyle is never up at this time, he like to wait last minute like Riley."
Kyle was Marleen's younger brother. Riley,Cindy, and him where the same age, while Caesar, Huey, and her were two years older. Cindy and Marleen clicked quick, Cindy thought that maybe it was because she resembled Jazmine.
"Is you ready?" Cindy asked impatiently.
"Hold up Cin, I need to look good."
"For what?" She knew for what but still asked anyway.
"I'm going to confess."
Cindy hated that Marleen had a crush on Huey. Deep down she wanted her best friend Jazmine to win him over, but at the same time Cindy knew that Jazmine was not coming back and that Huey and herself had to move on. So she smiled and encouraged the girl like a friend would.
"Good Luck Mar."
Marleen smiled.
"Thanks Cindy, I'm really going to need it."
Jazmine walked into the dreadful school building. The other students avoided her like she was the plague. She hated everything about this school. She knew that they suspect something but were keeping quiet, everyone kept quiet. Jazmine sped walked to the back bathrooms, no one ever went in them so she had a few minutes to be alone. She lifted her blouse and looked in the mirror. Her body was covered in bruises. She rolled her sleeves up to reveal cut marks. She hated doing that to herself, she really did. But at the same time she felt like it was necessary. She sat on the toilet and stared up at the ceiling.
"Mom, Dad..." She simply said as she closed her eyes.
"Jazmine you are going to have lots of fun." Her father assured her.
"How am I going to have fun at a lame dinner party?" She asked.
Her mother laughed.
"They assured me that this time they'd have activities for you youngsters."
Jazmine could not help but giggle at her fathers choice of words.
"TOM LOOK OUT!" Sarah screamed in horror.
A truck was heading their way. It collided with their car, causing it to flip through the highway. Jazmine saw everything, it was like everything was in slow motion. She remembers the glass flying at her, scraping her face. She remembers the other cars trying to avoid theirs. She remembers seeing the airbags activate. And most importantly she remembers seeing her parents die.
Jazmine opened her eyes at the sound of the bell. First period had started but she did not care. She's just going to skip as usual.
"Marleen!" Caesar greeted her with a smile.
"Caesar!" She said.
This was how they greeted each other in the mornings.
Riley walked up and gave her a dap.
"What up mamma?" And this was how Riley greeted her in the morning.
Marleen laughed.
"Not much, the day has not started yet. Where's Huey?" Marleen asked.
"At his locker or some shit." Riley said as he pulled out his phone and began blasting Thugnifacents newest hit.
"Bitch don't fuck with me, hoe, shit. If you ain't bout money then you, shit. Hang with the homies night, day. Fuck yo shit nigga, you, gay." Riley rapped along to the song.
Cindy jammed with him while Caesar shook his head at their horrible taste in music. Usually Marleen would have joined Caesar and they all would have had a debate about which decade had better music, but today she was on a mission and she had no time to waste.
Huey grabbed the books that he needed and walked to class. Some days he joined his brother and everyone else but some days he just felt like going to class early and reading. It was days like these when Jazmine would annoy him the most. She usually came before he could walk into his class and yell his name.
"Huey!"
Just like that.
Huey turned around to face Marleen, she looked a bit different today. Marleen always looked good but today it looked like she was trying extra hard.
"Yes?" Huey asked.
"We still have ten minutes, why you trying to get to class so fast?" She asked him.
"Read." He simply said as he kept walking.
"Ok then lets go to the library." She suggested.
Huey shook his head.
"You know how loud it gets in the mornings. I rather sit in an empty class reading than reading in the library at this time." Huey continued to walk, Marleen frowned. This boy was really though to convince but she was not given up easily, her parents thought her to fight and never give up on the things she wanted and Huey Freeman she indeed wanted. She followed Huey to his class. Her class was on the other side of the hallway so she had no fears of being late. Huey began reading while Marleen stared at him.
'She used to do it too.'
He shook away the thought of Jazmine and tried to focus all his attention on the words in front of him, but it was rather hard.
"Marleen can you stop staring like that, its uncomfortable." He said.
"Yeah, sorry."
She wasn't trying to make him feel that way. She just wanted him to notice her. Marleen knew about Jazmine, well she did not know her name but she knew that there was a girl that used to be best friends with Huey. It was never specified if they dated or not but she figured no since Huey does not seem like the type to chase girls. She barely knew a thing about Jazmine, everyone tried to avoid talking about her in front of Marleen. Marleen wanted to know more about the mystery girl but she could ask another day, right now she wants to win Huey.
Jazmine laid on the practice football field, the first period gym always went to run track so she was all alone, as usual. When ever she watched the sky she could not help but remember their days on their hill. She wondered if he had made a new best friend and if they had shared the hill like they once did. Jazmine hoped not, she didn't want someone else sharing that with Huey, that was their thing. Caesar was barely allowed on it. She closed her eyes.
"I'll be living with my uncle and aunt from now on." Jazmine said as she cried.
"I really wish that I could stay here with you and everyone else but they are my guardians now."
"Jazmine you can't leave." Huey was hurt. Other than Caesar Jazmine was the only person he could share his feelings with. He really hated to admit it but she was his best friend and he shared something different with her, Caesar could not compare to the mulatto girl.
"Tell me you will come back." He pratically was pleading.
Jazmine looked down at the floor.
"I can't promise you that I will, Huey. But I can promise you that I will always think of you and that you will always have a special place in my heart. I'm truly going to miss you. I would have never grown up if it wasn't for you. You are my best friend and nothing will change that. I hope that when and if we meet again we can naturally talk like we used to." Jazmine said as she wiped her tears away.
Huey's tears threatened to spill like hers but he kept it in, he didn't want her to see him cry. They hugged, neither wanted to let go.
"I love you." Huey said, it had slipped out of his mouth.
Jazmine was shocked but then she cried more.
"I'm sorry." Huey said, trying to apologize.
Jazmine shook her head.
"It's not fair. I love you so much Huey and we need to part. It's not fair."
Huey was surprised, she was right it really wasn't fair. They both loved each other. He now wishes he had confessed earlier. No, he wishes that Jazmine could stay. Huey gently caressed her cheek and placed his lips on hers. They both shared their first kiss.
Jazmine opened her eyes as she felt droplets of water fall on her cheeks. She thought it had started to rain but she soon realized that the droplets were her own tears.
"Did you confess?" Cindy asked Marleen as she munched on a snickers bar.
"No. The mood was wrong and then the bell had rung." Marleen lamented.
"Don't worry girl you'll get a second chance." Cindy said as she comforted Marleen.
Deep down Cindy was happy that Marleen had not gotten her chance with Huey. She really likes the girl but she really wants Jazmine and Huey to have that sappy romance moment like in those cheesy hallmark movies.
"Do you want Caesar to recite a poem for you?" Cindy asked as she waved at Caesar, he was making his way to them.
"Nah, I'm fine."
"Sup ladies?" He said as he sat on the bench with Cindy and Marleen. The girls had a free period so they usually chilled outside. Caesar normally had math but since he was great at it his teacher dismissed him five minutes before everyone else.
"So how it go?" Caesar asked Marleen.
It didn't take a lot to see that the girl had a crush on his best friend. Caesar was the opposite of Cindy in the mater, yes he really wanted Huey and Jazmine to happen but he likes Marleen and he believes that Huey needs to make a new friend and possibly date eventually. He knew that Huey would think about the mulatto day and night and he wanted his friend to be happy. In a way he felt bad for the girl since he knew that she was a replacement, not only to Huey but to them too. They all missed Jazzy. Caesar wanted to save money to visit her but he didn't know where she was located and her phone has been disconnected ever since she left. There was no way to contact her. The only people who knew of her whereabouts were the social workers that talked to Jazmine the day of the funeral and the judge, but none were going to tell him.
"Huey is a hard catch." Caesar said, trying to cheer the girl up.
"I can tell." Marleen said as she slouched in her spot.
The final bell had rung. For a normal person that sound was joyous, you finally got to go home and relax. School was out. But that bell meant something else to Jazmine Dubois. That bell reminded her of what, or should she say who, was waiting on her. The bell snapped her back to reality. She knew that she had to go back. If she didn't he would come and look for her and he would punish her just like last time. There was no escape. She was faraway from home and she was in a town where there where always eyes on you. Jeremy would find her in a heartbeat. No escape. The words she scribbled on the walls inside of her closet. She hopped onto the bus as she dreadfully waited for it to drive. Her stomach churned and flipped upside down. She was on the way to hell.
The bus dropped her off in front of her stop. Jazmine had to walk the rest since the bus couldn't go that far. It usually took her ten minutes to arrive but she walked slower than usual. She wanted to hold it off. She knew he will be mad and this made her tremble. He was going to punish her, she knew it.
Jazmine arrived and slowly opened the door. She looked around the house, no sign of Jeremy or Martha, her aunt. She walked upstairs to her jell cell, as she likes to call it. She almost threw up in fear. Jeremy was sitting on her bed, a mad expression plastered on his face.
"The fuck have you been?"
"The bus was a bit late." She lied.
"The bus was late? Who the fuck do you think I am? How can you lie to your uncle, the one that took you in and fed you."
Jeremy roughly grabbed his niece and pinned her on the bed.
"You kept me waiting for you and you know how impatient I am."
Jazmine was trembling so hard that her teeth chattered.
"You scared baby?"
She shook her head.
"So you want to lie to me? fine, I guess I gotta teach you a lesson. I was going to be gentle but I think you need it rough."
Jazmine tried to get away but he punched her stomach.
"Don't you run, your all mine."
She began to sob.
"You want to cry, fine by me. I'll just punish you extra."
Jeremy bounded her feet and hands and laid her on her belly. Usually he wouldn't bother stripping her completely but this time he did.
"I wont even use lube." He said as he stuck something in her butt.
Jazmine yelped.
"It hurts. It burns."
"That's the point, don't be late again baby."
He did the same to her frontal regions. He shoved them both deeper as he enjoyed listening to Jazmine's cries of pain. He was drawing blood but he could care less, he wanted to teach his niece a lesson.
"It hurts!" Jazmine cried out.
"Help!" She yelled.
Jeremey kept thrusting the objects, being violent and wiggling them like a mad man. Jazmine felt like she was going to rip apart.
"I won't be late again. Please. Stop."
It was useless. Her uncle pulled out the object from her frontal area and beat her back with it. The object he was using was a bread roller.
Jazmine shrieked before fainting.
She was still nacked when she woke up. Her hand and feet were bruised by the ropes being too tight but what scared her the most was all the blood on the sheets. She tried to move but it hurt so much. Her whole body was sore. Jazmine cried in her pillow. She wanted a chance to leave. She wished their was an escape but she knew that this was her destiny now. Jeremy will never get tired of her and she was trapped in this hell.
"Ready for round two." He said as he walked back in.
The only thing she could do was accept it. The quicker she did the less painful it would be.
Jazmine turned and looked at him.
"Yes." She said.
She had completely shattered.
