Chapter 18

134 days left until graduation.

Jazmine marked the days into her calendar. Time was going by pretty fast and for this she was happy. Jeremy was gone for a nightly meeting. Lately the sex has been a bit more rough and intense. Jazmine looked down at the bite marks he had left on her torso. She frowned and rubbed the purple bite marks with her right hand. She began to think about Chibi and her weird behavior. Jazmine has a feeling that Chibi was up to something but she does not know what.

"Is something up?" Jazmine asked her friend, she looked to be lost in thought.

"Uh? Oh yeah. Everything is good." She said as she took a bite of her sandwich.

Jazmine frowned. She knew Chibi enough to understand something was up. She wondered if it was about the whole secret she was keeping from her friend, but she brushed the thought away since Chibi has not bothering her about it since that one time.

Jazmine really had no idea but she hoped that she would figure it out soon.


Marleen smiled as she read over the text from Huey.

Get ready. I'm picking you up at six.

He didn't want to tell her where they were going. Marleen did not care where he took her, she was just glad he was taking her somewhere. The last time her and him had been on a real date was a couple of months ago. She does get to see him and they do go to the lake and Charlies quite often but it had been a long time since they did something different.

"Marleen! Huey at the door!" Kyle called from down stairs.

Marleen piratically ran down the steps and into her boyfriends arms.

She had on a white and red sweeter dress. There were black little hearts scattered on the dress. Marleen smiled and kissed Huey, not caring that her brother was behind her.

"Eww get a room." He said as he made a gagging sound.

Marleen laughed.

"Stop hating Kyle." She said before dragging Huey out the door, but not before grabbing her coat and scarf. It was late November and it was colder than it had been in October.

"So where are you taking me Freeman?" Marleen asked as she buckled up.

"You'll see." He simply said as he started the car.

They drove around for a while. Marleen watched the buildings and other cars pass by from her window. She would occasionally look over at her boyfriend, he looked so concentrated as he drove. They finally came to a stop.

"We still are not there. We need to walk to it from here." He simply said as he took her hand.

Marleen looked around. They were heading towards a stone bridge with a small creek underneath it.

"Where are we?" She asked again but Huey ignored her and kept walking.

It looked like they were heading into a park. She walked on the red brick rode as she looked at the trees surrounding the place.

They crossed the bridge and headed into a small park. Marleen's eyes widen in shock and surprise.

"Huey...This is...Beautiful."

"Happy three year anniversary."

Marleen kissed her boyfriend passionately, she loved him too much.


Chibi sat in her room going over the data she could come up with. She had yet to go to Jazmine's house since she felt like she would be invading her privacy, but she feels like she is no where closer to finding out her secret. The girl sighed as she closed her notebook.

"What are you hiding Jazmine?" She asked out loud.

"Cheyenne I'm home." Her mom called out.

"Mom your home early." Chibi said in surprise.

"They let me out early." Her mother said while smiling.

Her smile faded in an instant.

"Honey what's wrong?" She could tell her daughter had something on her mind.

Chibi sighed.

"Remember Jazmine?"

Her mother nodded.

"Well I have a feeling she is hiding something from me but I don't know what. It's killing me because I think its an important matter but Jazmine refuses to tell me what it is."

Her mother frowned and Chibi knew something was up.

"Do you know something."

The young woman looked everywhere but her daughter's eyes.

"Mom?"

She sighed.

"Well I didn't want to say since, you know, we can't talk about patience, but I will tell you anyway. I've met Jazmine before you brought her to the house. I don't think she remembered me but I met her once at the hospital. At the time she was not feeling well and we thought she may be expecting, luckily we were wrong. But I started to notice something. She looked scared like she had been through something and when I mentioned the idea of her being pregnant she looked to be having a panic attack. Now yes it is normal to act that way but I believe there was a bit more to her reaction. When I asked her if she knew who it could be she panicked even more. When I spoke with her uncle he seemed to be acting weirdly as well. When I told him that there was a chance that she could be expecting he was at first shocked but then smiled. I thought it was weird how he smiled like that. I mean your seventeen year-old niece could be expecting and you smile. But then I began to suspect something. Sounds crazy but not impossible, I suspected that her uncle was the one that got her pregnant. I put the clues together and I suspected that Jazmine was getting abused by him. But it turned out to be just a suspicion, Jazmine told the doctor that nothing was going on. But still my doubts are not completely gone. We gave her our number and she can call anytime if she wants. We can't do nothing else with out proof and in the end it's still a suspicion."

Chibi was shocked. It was starting to click together and she began to believe that her mother suspicions were in fact true. It made a whole lot of sense now that she thought about it. Why Jazmine wasn't allowed to have company over, why she couldn't go out, and the reason why she didn't want her meeting her uncle. It made sense now, but Chibi still had no proof. She had to get some and quick before things really did get out of hand and her best friend gets hurt even more.


Jazmine hooked her bra back up. Jeremy had taken advantage of her once more. 134 days left she thought. After Graduation she was free. She could finally escape and never return. Deep down she knew she would never be the same but she still hoped for the best. She plans to take counseling after High School, she really needs someone to confess too. Chibi would be her best bet but she wants to keep her protected. Jazmine did not want pity from her only friend. One day she will tell her but this day was not anytime soon. Jeremy walked inside her room.

"Get dressed were going out."

She obliged.

He took her to a City where no one knew them. Jazmine looked to be in her early twenties because of the contouring makeup.

"Would you and your lovely girlfriend like to order?" A waiter asked.

Jazmine cringed at the word 'girlfriend'. She wished he knew that she was his niece and that he would call the police and get this filthy man arrested, but of course she faked smiled and pretended she was in fact his girlfriend. It was the only thing she could do. Jeremy ordered a bottle of wine, The waiter did not even ask for ID.

"To us." He toasted.

Jazmine just nodded before chugging the drink down. She wants to get drunk so she can at least forget about the rest of the night.


Marleen and Huey sat at the table Huey had prepared.

"This is amazing." The girl said as she looked at the white Christmas lights on the tree behind her.

The dinner was amazing, she wondered if Huey had cooked but she did not ask him.

"You like it?" He asked.

"Like it would be an understatement, I love it."

Huey smirked.

Marleen loved seeing him smile even if it never lasted a long time. She wished he would smile more but at least she got to see it every once in a while. She had to admit it, Huey really went all out. He even had a radio playing the song The Only Exception, which was her favorite song. Huey did not like this genre of music but he could tolerate this song, well as long as she did not overplay it like the other songs he could once tolerate.

"I love you Huey." She said as she smiled.

"And I love you Marleen."

This caused the girl to get up and pull Huey from his seat.

"Dance with me." She said as she spun him around.

"Marleen I'm going to get dizzy."

The girl replied by laughing. They spun uncontrollably until they both fell on the yellowish grass.

"You know what?"

"What?" He asked.

"You are truly amazing."

And with that she kissed him one more time before cuddling with they boy.

"And I truly love you." She added as she kissed his cheek.


It had worked. She honestly did not know what happened after the restaurant. The only thing Jazmine remembers is drinking the whole bottle of wine and ordering two cocktails. After that it's all a blur. She didn't even have to look down to know she was naked. She memorized the sensation after all these years. She knew they had sex but she was glad that, for once, it would not be engraved in her memory. She smiled because of this fact. It was Monday morning and she was officially skipping school.

"Jeremy we should head home soon." She said, not wanting to skip another day.

Jeremy groaned.

"We will go back soon." He said as he dozed back to sleep.

She frowned but in the end she had no say in the matter. All she could do is wait patiently, she was used to it anyway.


AN: What do you all think? Let me know in the reviews. Hope to see you all next time.
