Chapter 28
Bebe's POV
"Thanks for coming to visit." Kenny tells me. I thought I would pay him a visit in jail before he goes to trial. He looks terrible, he's even skinnier than he was before and that's not a good thing. "No one in my family even bothered so it's nice to have a visitor."
"No problem. So are you ready for court?" I ask him.
"Hell yeah! I'm ready to get out of here!"
"Umm..." I look at him.
"What?"
"You really think you're getting out of here?"
"I'm innocent!" He states proudly.
"Come in Kenny..."
"You don't believe me?"
"I know you!"
Kenny seems taken aback. "What are you saying? You think I'm a rapist?"
"No, but I know you can come off a little strong."
"That's a far cry from rapist!"
"I believe Cartman said no."
Kenny shakes his head. "He's lying."
I glare at him. "Kenny, this is me you're talking to."
"Then you should know that I wouldn't rape anyone."
"I wanted to believe you, but I know you'll say it so anything to get a woman in bed."
"Not rape!"
"Maybe you should apologize…"
He shakes his head again. "That's basically admitting guilt."
"The judge might go easier on you."
"I'm not apologizing to Cartman. If anything, he should apologize to me!"
"For what?"
"I'm in here because of his ass!"
"I'm trying to help you out!"
"How is apologizing going to help?"
"I told you the judge might go easier on you. You need to look sorry."
"Fuck that! I'd rather rot in jail!"
I sigh. "If that's how you want it Kenny." I stand up. "Good luck in court." I tell him just before leaving. I can't believe how stubborn he's being. He's spent two months in jail and is still denying that he raped Cartman. Maybe he likes it in prison. I shrug to myself. Oh well, I tried.
Cartman's POV
"I did NOT rape him!" Kenny yells. The trial date for Kenny and Mark has finally arrived. I couldn't be happier, but I'm nervous at the same time.
"There's plenty of evidence against you." The judge tells him. "Your semen was found in his body. There were signs of rape on his body. Are you sure you want to stand by that?"
Kenny looks at me. "Cartman, I'm sorry for what I did." He pokes out his bottom lip.
"Really…?" I ask him even though I can tell he's lying through his teeth.
"I'm sorry you believe that I raped you. I really am. I thought we had a romantic encounter-"
The judge bangs her gavel. "I've heard enough Mr. McCormick!"
"I'm trying to apologize."
"I said enough!" She bangs her gavel again. "I'm ready for my ruling. Kenny McCormick, I hereby sentence you to 15 years in jail. Bailiff, please escort Mr. McCormick back to his cell."
"Fuck you Cartman! You're dead when I get out! You hear me?" Kenny yells as he's escorted out. Bebe walks over to me and puts her hand on my shoulder.
"Are you ok?" She asks.
I smile and nod. "Yeah…it's over." I look around. "Where did my mom go?"
"She stepped out with Wendy. I think they went to talk to Mark before his trial starts."
Figures. "I see."
"Don't worry, she'll be back." Bebe massages my shoulders. I know I'm supposed to be mad at her, but I'm glad she's here. I need all the support I can get right now especially since it isn't coming from my mom right now.
"Thanks Bebe…" I smile at her as I await the next case.
Wendy's POV
"25 years!" The judge slams down her gavel. I immediately break down in tears. My dad has been sentenced to 25 years in jail for Cartman's rape. First I lose my mom, now my dad is going to jail.
"I love you Liane, I love you Wendy!" Dad tells us as the bailiff escorts him out. I cry even harder as I watch my dad get taken away.
"Come here sweetheart." Liane extends her arms out to me. Before I can stand up to hug her, Cartman makes his way over and tries to hug her, but Liane backs up. "Not you Eric, I was talking to Wendy."
"Wendy?" He glares at me. "What about me?"
"Stop being so selfish! Her dad, my husband, was just sentenced to 25 years in jail! She needs me!"
"He was sentenced to jail for my rape! I need you too!" Cartman whines. I kind of feel bad for him.
"Liane, it's ok." I step in. "Please be there for Eric. I'm going to talk to Bebe." I try to walk off, but she stops me.
"No Wendy, Eric will just have to wait!" Liane tells me.
"Mom…I'm your daughter…" I notice Cartman tearing up.
"This is my daughter!" She pulls me into a hug. "She lost her mom and because of you she's lost her father! How could you make this all about you?"
"So I guess that means I have to lose my mom too…" He turns and walks away.
"You should go after him." I tell Liane.
She shakes her head. "I'll talk to him later. Right now, my concern is about you. I need to make sure you're going to be ok." She keeps talking and all I can think about is Cartman. I see him talking to Bebe and I can only imagine how hurt he is right now…
Cartman's POV
"She doesn't even care that I'm hurting or that I'm suffering!" I vent to Bebe. "Maybe I need to break down and cry in front of her to get her attention. It's not fair! It's not fucking fair!" I kick a chair.
"Maybe you need to sit down with your mom and tell her how you feel." She suggests.
"I don't want to. She's hurt me enough. She's made it very clear that Wendy is her only concern now! I tried to be friends with that bitch! Now she's stolen my mom!"
"You know this isn't Wendy's fault, right?"
"How isn't it?"
"Wendy didn't ask for your mom as a stepmother or for your mom to favor her over you." Bebe explains to me.
"Life was so much better before they came into our lives!"
"I'm sure Wendy would give anything to still have her mom…" I know she's right, but I'm too upset to listen to reason right now.
"I would give anything to have a mom that loves me for me!" I start crying. "No matter what I do, I'm never going to be good enough for her!" Bebe tries to hug me, but I back away. "Don't touch me!"
"Well look at the bright side, you've had two victories today. A lot of women don't have the guts to tell on their rapists and you did! You should be proud of yourself!"
"But now it's torn my "family" apart."
"It was torn apart the moment Mark raped you."
"You're right." I look at my watch. "I guess I better head home."
"Are you going to talk to your mom?" Bebe asks.
I shake my head. "Not tonight. Again, thank you for being here for me."
"Anytime hon!" She hugs me and I leave. I'm glad both Kenny and Mark have been placed behind bars where they belong. I'm hoping things start to look up for me from here.
A/N: I know I said this story was going to end soon, but it probably won't. Let me know what you would like to see happen from here! ;-)
