ous chapters, but this will be the LAST chapter of this story. I did write another boondocks fanfic called " Situations". Which is totally different than this story. Situations is an actual Huey x Jazmine fanfiction, since this story focused mainly on Jazmine. The first chapter of situations has been published, so please check it out!
Jazmine, once again, could not sleep. At this point, she may never sleep again. Her new sleeping pills weren't doing the trick either. Today was her trial, which is why her anxiety was dancing throughout the night. She had to convince a judge and a jury that Tremon sexually assaulted her. This was going to be the hardest part of her story. Tremon had money, and was the nephew of Thugnificent, one of the most famous rappers around. WoodCrest was already convinced that she was a guilty whore who was lying.
Jazmine went downstairs to find her parents watching the news. On the screen, was of course., Thugnificent.
"Thugnificent! How do you feel about your own nephew being accused of rape!? "
"No comment. " He replied simply.
"C'mon, you gotta give us somethin!" The reporter pleaded.
"Fine." He sighed. " My fat ass nephew has always been a lil punk ass bitch. I wouldn't be surprised if he did do it. But my bitch ass sister is gonna try and make it out like he is some innocent little boy. Mane, wake up bitch! " He then shrugged. " My family is probably gonna hate me for sayin all dis, but I don't care. If Tremon is guilty, then he is dead to me. And so is my sister for defendin his ass. "
Tom sighed and turned off the television. "Well, that was a little reassuring."
"Yeah." Sarah put her palm to her face. " God, I am so nervous about this trial."
"Me too…" Tom shook his head. "But I won't let that fucker walk around the streets of WoodCrest. That's a promise."
Jazmine snuck back up the stairs to her room before her parents noticed. She decided to shower and get dressed before the trial. She picked out a short black dress to wear. After she showered and got dressed, she sat on her bed, staring at her reflection in the mirror."
"Hey…"
She looked over to see Huey Freeman standing in the door frame. He was dressed in a black dress shirt and black pants. "You ready for today?"
"Nope. " Jazmine shook her head.
Huey sighed and sat on the bed next to her. "Look, everything will be okay. We have so much evidence that the Judge has to throw Tremon in jail. "
"As much as I appreciate your optimism, let's be realistic." She sighed. " He's rich. When do they ever throw the rich in jail?"
Huey pulled his girlfriend close to him. "I know, I know, I'm never optimistic. Just trying to cheer you up."
Jazmine laid her head on his shoulder. " Huey...do believe I was raped?"
Huey looked at her strange. "What? Of course I do! Why wouldn't I?"
"I know, stupid question." She held her temples. " If Tremon wins the case...I didn't think you would want to be with me anymore."
"Jazmine, look at me." Huey instructed. Jazmine looked her in the eyes. "No matter what happens today, I'm going to stay with you. I will never doubt you again."
Jazmine sniffled and hugged him tightly. "I'm scared, Huey. I'm so scared."
Huey hugged her tightly. "I know baby…"
"Ahem." Tom Dubois was standing in the door. " You all ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be…" Jazmine stood up.
Tom wrapped an arm around his daughter. "Everything is going to be okay."
Jazmine stood on trial, her heart racing. It felt like all the eyes of WoodCrest were on her. Well, maybe because everyone in town was there. Huey, Riley, Cindy, and Sarah were all sitting in the front. Tom was Jazmine's lawyer. She felt uneasy about the fact that her dad was defending her, but she tried to look at it from his perspective. If her child was violated, she would want to make sure the criminal went down too.
"So…" Tremon's lawyer, who was a man named John. He was one of the best lawyers in the state of Maryland. " , you were at a Tremon's party on Friday, March eighth, correct?"
"Yes."
"Was there alcohol at the party?"
"Yes."
"Did you drink any?"
"No. I was the only sober person at the party."
"So, you say Tremon approached you, obviously intoxicated?"
"Yes."
"He asked you to help him up to his room, and when you got up there, is when the alleged sexual assault happened?"
"Yes."
" So, why did you wait until almost two weeks later to report him?"
" I was afraid." Jazmine spoke softly. " After Tremon raped me, I wanted to forget it ever happened. I thought I could sweep it under the rug, and just never think or deal with it again. I also thought it was my fault for lying to my father about where I was " She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. " Tremon went on to tell everyone that I slept with him. Then I became the school's slut. The bullying became so bad that I started that I tried to end my life."
John nodded. "So, you have mental health issues?"
"Yes. Depression and anxiety, and PTSD."
"Now, since you have anxiety, is it possible that you are exaggerating this whole thing?"
The whole courtroom gasped in horror.
"This nigga can't be serious." Huey whispered.
"What?" Jazmine was dumbfounded
"OBJECTION!" Tom shouted.
"Overruled." The judge said.
" You see, someone with a mental illness should not be able to testify. They could be making the whole thing up in her mind"
"How do you think I got PTSD!?" Jazmine snapped, losing all professionalism. " I can't look at myself in the mirror anymore, I can barely take a shower or be naked without remember what Tremon did to me! I haven't slept in days because I keep having nightmares back to that night! In fact, I can probably never have sex again, because all I will remember is Tremon using me for his selfish desires!"
The judge shook his head. " Sit down, John."
"I thought you were the best lawyer around." Tremon whispered to his lawyer.
"Look." John sighed. "There is a lot of evidence that is pointing to you. You should of just pled guilty like I told you to."
"Now. " Tom was now at the stand. " I would like to call Otis Jenkins to the stand."
"Alright." The judge agreed. "Who are you to the defendant?"
"I'm his uncle man- I mean your honor." Thugnificent replied. Jazmine mentally face palmed.
"Why are you here?" John asked.
"I have some definite proof that my piece of shit nephew is guilty." He smirked. "Now, that mansion he lives in, I paid for with my own money. Which means that house is in my name in on it. Now, when Tremon was actin up in middle school, I installed hidden cameras everywhere in the house. "
"Where are going with this?" The judge asked.
"I never took them out. But I especially had multiple in his room."
Tremon's face went pale. Jazmine's heart started beating. Maybe there was hope in this case after all.
"We have video and audio footage of Tremon McKinley sexually assaulting Jazmine Dubois." Tom tried to state with bravery, but you could hear the pain in his voice. " We can show it to you right now."
"NO!" Tremon stood up, all eyes staring at him. "I did it, okay!? I'm guilty! Just don't show the video!"
" ?" The judge was surprised. " Are you pleading guilty?"
"Yes!" Tremon was crying. " I did it!"
"NO!" A voice from the back of the courtroom screamed. Everyone looked towards the back, there was a heavy set African American women, tears streaming down her face. " Don't lock up my baby!" She made her way up to the court. "He's just scared! He didn't do it, I promise you!"
"Momma." Tremon was crying as well. "I'm sorry momma, but I did it. I'm sorry I disappointed you."
"No baby please!" She sobbed while holding her sons face, looking into his eyes. "Please tell me you didn't do this!"
Tremon shook his head. " I did it momma. You can watch the video for yourself."
"Oh Lord why!?" Tremon's mother fell to the floor sobbing. She had to be escorted out by a police officer.
" Black women." Huey mumbled to himself
" I sentence you, Tremon McKinley, life in prison for rape in the first degree." The judge declared.
"W-Wait, life!?" Tremon exclaimed. "I thought I was gonna get like 2 years!" A police officer came and put him in handcuffs. " I had a future mane! You can't do dis!"
Everyone ignored Tremon's pleads. He was escorted away by the police. From now on, Tremon would never lay another finger on a woman again. Jazmine felt free as they watched the police take that monster away. However, even though Jazmine got the justice she deserved, she was stuck with the memories and trauma.
After the trial was over, they all met outside. Cindy rushed over and gave Jazmine a hug.
"Ya did it girl!" She beamed. " Tremon's ass is goin to away forever!"
"Yeah…" Jazmine managed to smile. "Just wish I would of done it sooner…"
"Still." Riley spoke up. " You don't ever gotta see that mother fucker again."
"Thank God, but I'm still stuck with the memories…" Jazmine sighed. "Unfortunately, they will never leave me."
"Well." Huey held his girlfriends hands. "Now I know you are one of the strongest women I know. After all of this, you're still standing here, managing to smile like you always do."
"Oh Huey." Jazmine smiled and hugged him." You've gotten nicer too."
"Don't get used to it." Huey mumbled, hugging her back.
5 years later
After Jazmine's trial, her story went world wide. She did interviews on the news, on talk shows, and spoke about her experiences at schools. Jazmine has a support group that she goes to once, where she talks to younger girls, and boys, about how she was able to move on from her rape. Talking about her experience has helped her more than she thought it would. Even though from time to time the memories still haunt her, she has support from her best friend Cindy, her fiance Huey (Yes, he did pop the question to her) and her future brother-in law, Riley. Jazmine and her mother have gotten closer as well. They call each other once a week, and Sarah comes and visits when she can. Jazmine went on to attend college to become a therapist. Every day, she sits with people who went through the same suffering she did. She will never "get over" her rape. However, she will become stronger from it.
Well that was the end! Don't forget to check out my new story! :)
