AN: So it's 1:30 am and I need to go to sleep because I need to get up at 8. So here is the next chapter. It's not long but not supper short either.
I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING
Enjoy.
Chapter 17
Jazmine marked days off from her calendar. She was siting in her closet counting the days that had currently passed. '184 days until my escape' she thought.
Jeremy was gone for the day and she didn't know how to feel about it. Half of her was happy since that monster was not going to be bothering her for a whole day but the other half wished he was here so she could get the sex over with. Jazmine stared at the last word she had written on her wall.
"Hope." She read.
She smiled softly. There was hope. Jazmine's smile turned upside down when she thought of what Chibi told her the other day.
"Jazmine I know you have been hiding something from me and I know you've been lying. Tell me what is going on. Don't you trust me?"
"I do Chibi but-"
"So you really are hiding something."
Jazmine began to panic, realizing Chibi had caught her in a lie.
"No- I mean- I trust you but there's nothing I'm hiding."
Chibi frowned and looked away.
"It pains me to say this but if you do not come clean to me by Tuesday then our friendship is over."
And with that she walked away leaving an utter shocked Jazmine.
That was Friday. Tomorrow was Tuesday and Jazmine still did not know what to do. She just wanted to protect Chibi from the cold truth. But she did deserve to not be lied to. She was in such a conundrum and her brain hurt just thinking about what to do. Jazmine had decided to take a quick break so she headed to the kitchen to get a snack. She sighed when she looked at the stove clock.
"I'm home." Jeremy said from behind her.
She turned around and smiled the brightest fake smile that she could.
"Welcome back." She said.
Only 184 days left.
Jeremy walked up to her and kissed her sloppily.
You can do this.
He removed her shirt.
You went three years with this monster, what's 184 days more?
Jeremy lifted her up and placed her on the kitchen table.
"I can't wait any longer." He said as he unbuckled his belt and pulled his pants off.
"I want you now." He said as he grabbed her waist.
Jazmine looked at the ceiling as he inserted himself inside of her. Eventually everything turned numb so she didn't even bother to cry or anything. She just laid there looking up above her hoping that her parents weren't watching. She closed her eyes and thought of Huey. She quickly shook the memories of him away. She would soon see him but in reality she was scared to face him. She is not the same Jazmine as she used to be and she is scared that he will not love her because of this. Jeremy thrusted harder until she felt the familiar sensation of him releasing his seed inside her. She had a back up pill, she bought them after the first scare. She did not care anymore all she cared about was being gone by her graduation.
"Huey what are you doing? Are you really going to burn it? Why?" Marleen sasked.
"It's time for me to move on Marleen, besides this thing gives me no answers on her whereabouts and its depressing each time I read it." Huey said as he looked at the pink note book.
Marleen smiled a sad one.
"Well do what you feel is right."
Huey nodded and looked at the notebook one last time before throwing it into the small fire pit he had made. They watched the pages slowly burn and turn into ash. After extinguishing the fire Huey walked inside his house with Marleen.
"I should be going, my mom is waiting on me."
Huey looked over at Marleen and nodded. The girl stood there for a few seconds before turning to leave but she stopped when Huey called her.
"Yes?" She asked.
"Thanks for being there. I needed the moral support."
Marleen smiled gently.
"Anytime." She said before walking out the door and heading towards her house.
In reality Marleen was super happy about the diary getting burned. She had nothing against Jazmine but she was happy to see that her man was moving on. He was taking baby steps and Marleen was like the doting mother who guides him and supports him. Huey was finally becoming all hers.
"I'm home." She announced as she walked into the door.
"Oh good, help me set up everything for dinner." Mrs. Cross said.
Marleen shook her head, not even a second of being home and her mom had her doing chores.
"Ok mom." She said as she walked towards the kitchen.
She wondered how some kids could get away with talking back to their mothers. If she tried that she probably would be laying six feet under. Marleen made the table as her brother walked down stairs.
"Smells good." Kyle said.
"Hey Kyle long time no see." Marleen said.
Her brother was either always with friends or locked up in his room. Cindy used to have a small crush on him until she realized that he never did much.
"Marleen has a point, It's like you don't exist or something." Mrs. Cross said.
Kyle frowned.
Mr. Cross walked in.
"Well look what the cat dragged back from the dead." Mr. Cross said.
"Is it really that bad?"
"Yeah." All three of them said at the same time.
After eating Marleen helped clean while Kyle headed back into his room.
"Well at least I manage to get him to eat dinner with us." Mrs. Cross said.
She looked sad and Marleen knew what she was thinking about.
"It's just a phase mom. Kyle still loves us but he just is going through the 'I want to be left alone and hide in my room all day' phase."
Mrs. Cross laughed.
"And what phase did you go through?" She asked.
Marleen shrugged.
"I guess I'm mature."
Mrs. Cross laughed some more.
"I guess you are."
"I'm serious Jazmine I know something is up and I need to know." Chibi said.
"Look I really don't want to talk about it Chibi and frankly it's something I want no one to know about."
"So you admit that you've been lying?" She asked.
Jazmine sighed.
"Yeah I admit it, happy?"
"Very."
"Now will you please stop bugging?"
"Sure."
It was her turn to lie. Chibi was going to find out even if it killed her.
"Thank you." Jazmine said as she ate the rest of her lunch.
Chibi contemplated on how she was going to find her friend's address. The quickest way to finding out was to follow her home; but that plan was also the riskiest. She was probably going to have to look in the school records or something. Chibi was a teachers pet so she could probably find out by one of them.
Later that day she stayed after school to get what she wanted.
'Bingo.' she thought after tricking her English teacher on giving her Jazmine's address. Now all she had to do was plan a time to go.
"I'm going to find out Jazmine." Chibi said as she began to walk home.
AN: Well Chibi is dead set on learning what Jazmine is hiding. Will she found out? Stay tuned.
