Chapter
22: Her Fate/Her Last Testament
[Jaslene’s
POV]
I hear police sirens
all around outside; they must really wanna take me out huh? Well they aren’t
gonna find that damn baby if they kill me, I don’t know who tipped them off. If
Trey did his ass is dead, I’m better off working alone anyways. Trey crept into
the warehouse slowly trying to be discreet, but the door slammed hard behind
him startling my already paranoid ass. “Dammit Trey! Stop slamming shit; do you
want the police to find us here? “My
bad Jaslene baby, I’ll be more careful next time.” I turned my head to look at
him. “Why did it take you so long to get here anyways?” I asked suspiciously.
“Cops were circling the block, I’m pretty sure the cops are looking for me too.
Couldn’t risk us getting caught out here, how the hell are we gonna leave the
state Jas?” He asked. “We’re not.” I responded. “Well what are gonna do then?”
He asked. I cocked my gun. “If they take us down, that baby’s going with us.”
Trey’s eyes widened and his hands went up. “Whoa, whoa, whoa Jaslene. Are you really gonna kill that baby?” “Yea, this
is payback for my sister and my dead nephew/niece.” “C’mon Jas, I know Chris
has done you and Cat was fucked up, but killing his kid isn’t gonna bring
Catalina and the baby back. Why don’t we drop the kid off somewhere and split?”
I put down the gun and looked at him. “Y’know what? You’re right, let’s hurt
them like that. Think their child has died when she’s really someone else’s
problem, but where are we gonna drop her off at?” “I’ll pick a random house in
D.C. nobody but Julissa knows I’m down with you yet so lemme do it.” I nodded.
“Ok, we’ll do it together tonight. I’m sick of looking after the little
bastard.” We waited at the warehouse till nightfall; it was starting to get
cold and I was getting ready to drop off the kid, but Trey was nowhere to be
found. I didn’t have time to worry about his ass so I kept packing up, after I dropped
off the kid I was gonna flee town. Maybe I’ll even leave the country; I’ll
Probably go back to Colombia and be a doctor there. I Just Wanted To Leave this
hellhole and take her with me, but I can’t. She’s gone and It is his entire
fault, my blood began to boil again till I heard the little baby girl cooing. I
walked over to the newborn and saw her yawning while looking up at me; how did
I end up like this? Is this how my life was going to end up?
Kidnapping an innocent
child and letting all my anger towards Chris cloud my better judgment? This was
not how I was raised and this was not who I am, but it’s too late. If I
bring her back I’ll end up in jail and if Chris is still alive he’ll tell the
police that I shot him and I’ll end up even more under the jail. I just had to
drop off the kid at a random person’s house far from VA beach and go far, far
away forever. I got back to packing up more of my things then my cellphone
began to ring, I picked up the phone. “Oh
my daughter Jaslene…” “Mother?” I replied. “Si, I see you all over the news. Why did you take that woman’s baby
Jaslene?” I froze up on the phone. “That
woman is the reason why Catalina
died, she stole Chris from her and now she’s dead because Catalina couldn’t
handle it and now her and her unborn child is dead. He must’ve made her have an
abortion like he did to me!” “So that’s
it? Revenge is what you’re after? You’ve lost your career, your sister, your
good reputation and even your freedom all so you can get back at a man who
never forced you to do anything?” “Were you not listening to me mom?! He made
her and me!” “Yes, made not forced. He
didn’t tell you to have sex without protection or that he really wanted to spend
his life with you. I understand you’re mad because your sister is gone and the
man that betrayed you and her has found happiness with another woman, but at
the end of the day that baby has done nothing to deserve to be taken away from
her family. Just please give her back niña and face your consequences’ for the
road you have chosen the same way your sister has, I will always love you
Jaslene but I will not accept or support the life of crime you’ve chosen
because of your anger towards one man. I did not raise you to be that way and I
neither raised Catalina the way she had become, I partly blame myself for not
teaching you both about different types of men out there and how to know when their
love is real or not. I have to go now, please be safe the policia are all over
in Virginia. I love you.” “I love
you too mom.” I said with tears falling from my face silently. I hung up the
phone and sat on the cold steel chair next to the baby. How could it have get
to this point?
The fact my mother
blames herself for all that Catalina & I have done made my tears fall even
harder. All this desire of revenge towards Chris has clouded my better judgment
and made me break the law and do things I would never dream of ever in my life. The cold wind began to pick up
speed and I bundled up the infant even more so she didn’t catch a cold then I
looked over her cooing. She looked just like Chris and she had her mother’s
soul piercing blight brown eyes. I’m kind of relieved Trey told me to let her
live, cause nothing that I could’ve done to this baby would’ve brought back my
sister or her unborn baby. I picked up my cellphone and tried to call Trey on
his cellphone. When I called, it first went straight to voicemail then when I
called again he picked it up quickly. “H-hello, Jaslene?” “Yeah Trey, It’s me.”
I responded. “You ready?” he spoke blandly. “Yea I am, where are we gonna meet
up?” I asked. “Over by Lesner Bridge, right now with the kid then we’ll drive
off from there.” “Alri-” Trey hung up before I could get my words out. I
shrugged my shoulders and got all of my things and the baby together. I got
into my car and started driving to the bridge; I saw trey in the middle
standing there nervously. I took the baby from the backseat and headed towards
him as the wind chill rose from the quickly approaching night. “So are we ready
to go?” I asked while securing the blanket over the basket. “I-Is the baby in
there?” He asked with a little nervousness. “Yea, she’s asleep. What’s your
problem?” I looked at him awkwardly. “What do you mean?” He questioned back.
“You’re acting really nervous, like you’re waiting on something.” He just shook
his head and forcefully smiled. “Naw, It’s just really cold out here.” “Are you
sure?” I continued to question him. “Yeah, let’s go.” I quickly looked around because
I noticed there were no cars to be found on either side of the bridge and I
became alarmingly suspicious. So I started to pat down Trey quickly. “What the
fu-? What the fuck are you doing Jas?” “See the thing is Trey, I don’t fucking
trust you and if you brought the fucking cops here you’re a dead
fucking man! And so is that fucking baby!”
I turned him over and patted
him down and checked to see if he was wearing a wire, I felt nothing but
anguish from my sudden burst of paranoia. “What the hell Jaslene?! I told you I
wasn’t wired, you got me trippin over here.” “Sorry, I’ve been really paranoid lately.
I didn’t mean to accuse you of anything.” “It’s cool, so where’s the baby?” he
asked again. “I said in the car.” So we walked over to the car and the moment
right after I took the carseat out then all I saw and heard were police sirens
surrounding the whole bridge, I quickly pulled out my gun & pointed it at
Trey. “VOCÊ CARALHO TRAIDOR!” “You fucking snake!
How could you do me like that you piece of SHIT?!” “Jaslene, baby I-” We both
turned around to see that useless whore Terrance runs out her car and tries to
intervene, but the police tried to hold her back. “GIVE ME BACK MY BABY YOU
BITCH, GIVE ME BACK MY LITTLE GIRL!” She screamed out hysterically and then the
baby started crying loudly. “Jaslene Rosas, put down the infant and put your
hands up in the air.” The police officer said on a megaphone. I backed up
slowly against the bridge wall and I sucked in my breath & pointed my gun
at Trey with a hard stare. “How long have you been against me Trey?” “Jaslene
I-” “HOW FUCKING LONG TREY?” “The cops found me while I was out and they cut me
a deal iight, I didn’t wanna go to jail. This shit got too deep too fucking
fast Jaslene, you knew the risks and
now you fucked up and now my best friend is laid up in the hospital cause of
your jealousy.” “I am NOT jealous! That asshole Chris killed my unborn child
and now my sister and her unborn baby, and they would’ve had their baby if it
wasn’t for that-that WHORE over there. She doesn’t deserve to have this baby.” Then Trey tried to step closer and I
backed up tightening the grip of my gun. “Stay back!” He put both his hands up.
“Whoa, Whoa Jas… Don’t do anything crazy, just calm down. We can talk about
this.” “Talk about this? Talk about this?! TALK ABOUT WHAT?!! WHAT TREY, WHAT?
How my life is ruined? How my sister is dead and my family disowns me?
How now all these damn
cops are here pointing all their guns at me because YOU brought them here? Okay
motherfucker let’s talk.” “IF YOU HURT MY BABY JASLENE YOU’RE DEAD, YOU HEAR
ME?! I’LL END YOUR PATHETIC, MISERABLE ASS LIFE!!!!” I heard Terrance belt out
again. “YOU AND THIS BASTARD CHILD NEED TO SHUT THE FUCK UP!” I yelled out
waving my gun around, I suddenly felt a rush tears stream down my face. “I
can’t take this bullshit any damn more, I’m not going to jail and if I can’t
have my baby, neither will you!” I threw the baby seat over the bridge and
heard the baby crying and Terrance’s horrified scream. “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, MY BABY!”
She cried out while collapsing on the street pavement. Trey ran towards me and
I shot him in the chest and he fell to the ground almost instantly. Then I
pointed the gun to my temple & police tried to run up to stop and arrest
me, but with my last sorrowful tear I whispered Catalina’s name and pulled the
trigger and fell back over the bridge. As my lifeless body plunged down off the
bridge my whole life flashed before my eyes. My childhood with Catalina, us in
school, how I stood there and watch our father kick her out the house for being
pregnant at the age of 15. How our relationship faltered after I graduated high
school and college, How I and Chris met and when we dated… This was still all his fault; he cheated me out of a child,
a happy life, a relationship with my sister and he cheated her out her child
and a better life. I hope that whore Terrance and that bastard Chris suffers
the same fate as we with him ruining us and now he’ll never hurt me or Cat ever
again…
[Julissa’s
POV]
I picked up my phone to
call Aaron, Terrance & Trey didn’t know but Aaron was an ex of mine back
when I went to VCU for a few semesters. I waited for him to answer; I was
growing anxious as I was driving to the docks. “C’mon, c’mon… Pick up dammit.”
Just as soon as the phone I heard his sleepy baritone breathe into the phone,
“H-Hello?” he spoke half conscience. “OH MY GOD! AARON, THANK GOD YOU PICKED
UP!” “Whoa, whoa, whoa, lower ya voice Julissa, Wit yo loud ass It’s one thirty
in the morning.” He spoke in his southern drawl while slowly waking up. “I’m
sorry Aaron, but I really need your
help right now.” “What happened?” His voice continued being more concerned. I
sighed as I replied to him. “Jaslene called me.” “WHAT?!” Aaron’s voice shot up which made me
jump. “Where are you or where are you going?” He continued. “I can’t tell you,
I’m not even supposed to call you… she said if I called anybody the baby dies.”
I spoke with fear. “That crazy broad ain’t gonna do shit, now tell me where you
are.” He spoke trying to reassure me. “I’m driving to docks in Virginia Beach.”
“It’s probably a fucking trap Julissa, let me drive over there and I coul-”“NO!”
I cut him off. “She’ll kill Terrance’s baby if she sees you, she got-” I froze.
“She got what Ju?” I remained silent. “She. got. what. Julissa?” He broke up
the sentence with a heightened tone level. “S-she got Trey with her…” I replied
sheepishly. “Trey?! Trey who?” He fired back. “Tremaine, Tremaine.” “WHAT?! I
always knew that fuck nigga was always jealous of Chris, but for that nigga to
work with that crazy hoe trying to hurt his baby?! That nigga has gone too far,
I’m coming for real now…” “No, Aaron you can’t!” I exclaimed. “You know I just
can’t let you do that.” “Then why did you call me Julissa?” I paused and then
he continued. “You obviously wanted me to help somehow or you wouldn’t even
bother to call me.” I took a sharp breath then replied. “Look I was in fucking
panic mode and you were the first person I saw in my contacts, alright?!”
“Whatever Jul, Imma Go Out There Whether You Like It Or Not.” “Stay. Out. Of.
It. I’m warning you Aaron, I can handle this on my own I’ll be carefu-”
“I don’t give a shit
what you say; I’m going over there
too so get the fuck over it.” His southern drawl hummed hard in my ear, I
sighed in surrender. He was as hardheaded as Chris and just as quick tempered…
and stupid. “Whatever Aaron.” I said in an even tone. “Do what you want; I
don’t want that little girl hurt and you better pray to god she isn’t.” I hung
up the phone. My mind races as I get closer and closer to my destination. I
wondered if Aaron was really going to
go over there, what if the baby gets hurt, Even worse what if the baby was
already dead and this really was a trap. My mind continues to race and my brow
started to sweat from all my thoughts running rampant. I arrived at the docks
and I took a deep, but fearful breath as I turned off the engine and step out
of the car. I took another deep breath and walked around to see where Jaslene
& Tremaine were. The sound of ships pull in and pulling out of the harbor
along with the sudden fog that filled the night air made it feel eerie and I
felt even more uneasy, then I felt ice cold steel against the back of my
temple. “Don’t you fucking move, I’ll kill you right where you stand if I have
to.” I heard a deep, harsh tone of a woman. My hands slowly moved up as she
rapidly searched through my body. “Did anyone follow you?” she spoke as she
continued to pat down the lower half of my body. “No, I came alone.” I said
with my hands still in the air. “Don’t you lie to me Julissa or I swear I’ll
have Trey kill the damn baby & I will kill you.” She found my cellphone and
chucked it into the ocean, then forced me to turn around and I was staring straight
down the barrel of her 9 millimeter pistol in point blank range of my face. “I
wasn’t followed, I swear.” I spoke as I shook my head and there was Jaslene,
tired and frustrated but full of blind rage that was all too visible in her
voice and her words let alone her face. “Did you call la policia?” she
questioned even more. “No I didn’t, you know I wouldn’t Jaslene.” I said
looking directly in her enraged face. “Good, just because you’re my cousin
doesn’t mean I won’t kill you. I know how close you are to that man stealing
bitch.” I nodded. “She’s really not that bad, her meeting and being with Chris
is all a huge ass coincidence and she left him soon after she found out about
Jaslene.
Chris is a manipulative
asshole and he deserved what he got, but this is Terrance’s baby too and can’t
let you hurt her.” “So you think it’s not
her fault.” She questioned with a puzzled face. “No, she’s not that type of
person, I just give me the baby and I will tell no one about where you are but Trey has to go down for all of
this.” I looked at her with a straight face. “What do you mean?” Jas looked at
me with a concerned face. “We have to have someone to take the fall for all of
this. If the police catch you, you’re going to jail for a long time and I’m not having my familia locked under the jail over
no bullshit!” “If you put this all on Trey you probably get a two year bid tops
or even just probation for a few years.” “I’m going to lose my career and my
license, what the hell am I going to do after all that shit Julissa?!” she
beamed at me. “We’ll cross that bridge when we get there, now we have to come
up with a plausible reason for Trey to be the mastermind behind all of this and
emotionally manipulate you because of what happened to your sister.” “How?” she
asked. “Trey has always been fiercely jealous of Chris and everything he has and
how he always came out clean regardless of the shit he puts himself in and that
is not a lie.” “How do you know all this?” she looked puzzled. I gulped hard at
me not trying to reveal to her I was raped by Trey at our hotel room. “He told
me that when I caught y’all on the phone.” Jaslene looked at me very puzzled,
but shocked. “Wait. That was you on
the phone?” “I-I-I swear I didn’t know Julissa I-” “Don’t sweat it.” I cut her
off while avoiding eye contact. “Why aren’t you looking at me Juil?” she looked
at me while I remained avoiding eye contact. “N-nothing, let’s just get our
stories straight for the police.” I attempted to change the subject. “What did
Trey do to you?” Jaslene asked trying to press the issue. “So here’s what’s
we’re going to tell them, Trey organized ever-” “Julissa! What. Did. Trey. Do. To You?” She asked
again. “He did nothing to me Jas, nothing.”
I spoke with my voice trembling. She turned me over and looked at my face hard.
“Did he hit you?” Her eyes became squinted. “No, I-I don’t wanna talk about it.” She grabbed under my chin and
forced me to look dead at her face.
“What did that puto do
to you?” She grew angry at me dodging every question she asks me about Trey.
“H-He…”As Soon as I tried to tell her what happened we both heard a loud BANG! Jaslene grabbed my hair brutally
& pointed a gun at my temple. “I thought I told you to come ALONE!” “I did!
I swear to god I didn’t” I spoke in
total horror. “If I find somebody here you’re dead you hear me!” I gipped on my
hair tighter. “WHO’S IN HERE?” She walked around franticly pointing her gun in
all different directions. I heard my hair follicles slowly ripping out of my head,
the pain from her vice grip on my hair kept me from thinking straight. I kept
on being dragged hard by Jaslene and I could barely keep up, then she pulled my
head back with extreme force and placed the ice cold steel on the gun’s barrel
underneath my upper throat with soulless eyes. “If I find anyone in this warehouse, I will kill you and that prositituta
suja’s baby.” I practically trembled in complete fear of me and Terry’s baby
possibly dying because of her paranoia or because of Aaron’s stupidity of
following me here. “There’s no one here Jaslene, you’re losing your mind! Just
give the baby back and this’ll all be over gotdammit!” I pleaded. Then she took
my head and slammed it hard against a wooden box. I was in complete pain and
fighting unconsciousness hard, but I knew if I would’ve Screamed Me and that
little girl would’ve died. “You will not
tell me what to do ever again bitch!” she barked mercilessly at me. Then pistol
whipped me and kept dragging me along by my hair, I thought all my hair
would’ve been ripped out by the roots by now. Then suddenly I heard a snap and
Jaslene’s grip on my hair loosened dramatically and I fell to the floor, I
looked up to see Aaron slightly hovering over me. “Are you okay Juil?” He
asked. He helped me up and then I see Jaslene trying to come at Aaron from
behind. “AARON, LOOK OUT!” I belted. Jaslene swiftly started choking Aaron with
her belt. I felt utterly helpless seeing Aaron struggling to break free from
Jaslene suffocating him. “Julisss-a… r-r-run!” I fought hard to speak out. I
ran off, but I tuned around out of sight looking for something to help Aaron
and then I saw a two by four and slammed it hard against Jaslene’s back.
She screamed out in
pain and me and Aaron ran quickly grabbed me and ran to the door trying to
escape and suddenly all I heard was a loud bang! I looked over at Aaron and saw
him sliding down to the floor by the exit door. “NOOOOOOOOOOOO!” I screamed in
complete disbelief and horror. “Oh God, Jaslene WHAT DID YOU DO?!” I was crying
over his body. Then Jaslene walked over towards me then pistol whipped me so
hard I passed out and everything went black, When I came to everything was
pitch black and I couldn’t move more than an inch from all sides of my body and
all I heard was a cellphone excessively vibrating and I picked it up with my
hands violently shaking. “H-hello?” “Hello
you backstabbing bitch!” I heard Jaslene venomously shot at me. “Where the
hell am I? What the hell did yo do to Aaron and the baby, I swear to GOD
if that baby is hurt I’ll-” “Please
motherfucker, you are in absolutely no
condition to make any threats to me, besides your lil cop buddy… he’s already
dead, I made sure of that and the baby is fine… for now.” I slightly
started to cry when she told me Aaron died, but was relieved the baby was ok. “As for you
I’d be a little more focused on where you’re at right now because time is truly
of the essence and you don’t have much to spare.” She chuckled mischievously. “You see, I’ve buried you alive under 8
feet of dirt in some random Virginia backwoods while you were knocked out. To
be honest I can’t even pinpoint your exact location even if I wanted to. Trey
doesn’t know about you or your cop friend Aaron or of what we discussed. So as
far as he is concerned, you’re already back home in New York City still angry
that he raped you.” She sarcastically sighed. “Poor little old you huh?” she laughed condescendingly at me. “You’re
not going to get away with this Julissa; every fucking cop in the state is looking for you and that
bastard Trey! They all know your face and what you’ve done, you haven’t won
shit and that baby will be back with Chris and Terrance while you’re rotting in
hell!”
I fired back. “Well I would conserve that
little ass amount of oxygen you have there for someone who gives a shit! I’m
leaving the damn country and I have no need for this fucking little bastard so
it will be disposed of before I do! Good luck with knowing that you’re gonna
die for choosing that man stealing dyke of your own familia you cunt!”
With that she hung up
the phone on me. I tried with all my might to push through my “coffin” but the
dirt above me didn’t budge. Then I grabbed the phone and it only had two
service bars. I dialed the only number I could remember by heart… Terrance’s. I
dialed her cell number hit “send” I prayed so hard that she’d pick up but all I
heard was a voicemail greeting. “Hey you
reached Terrance, I can’t get to the phone right now so leave me a short
message and I’ll call you back when I can. Thank you.” I drew in a very
deep breath then I spoke. “Terrance, It’s
me Julissa. I don’t have much time left so I’ll tell it to you straight.
Jaslene is my blood cousin and I never told you this because with all the
craziness with you, Chris, the baby and all. I didn’t want you to think I was
with her cause I’m not at all, I tried to get her to bring the baby back, but
it didn’t work. Also… Aaron is dead.” I began to cry as I continued to speak. “He’s
dead cause of me; he tried to save
mine and the baby’s life. I wish I could bring your little girl back to you,
but I can’t and now she’s in great danger because of it. She completely lost
her mind and no one is safe. If I do
die before anyone finds me. I just wanted to say I love you and I always will
no matter wh-” Message limit is full.
I was balling hysterically after the call cut off. I knew I wasn’t going to
live after this, I knew I would die and that the baby would eventually be dead
too and that Jaslene has no loyalty to anyone anymore ever since Cat died. I
felt that all I can do was pray and pray hard. I grabbed my rosemary beads my
grandmother gave me; I closed my eyes and prayed. “Heavenly father, if it is in
your will for me to die I will humbly and gracefully embrace it. But if I am to
live please have someone find me and rescue me from this peril and protect
Terrance and Chris and their newborn child. That little girl deserves every
chance to live and happy, loving and peaceful life and I will give you my soul
and spirit to you completely if she survives. As long as she is alive may she
bring joy and tranquility to all who love her. Please lord, I’m begging You…” A warm tear streamed down
my nearly frozen face. “Please protect her and keep her safe, she’s all that
Chris and Terrance got in their lives
that made them truly happy. Please.” I wiped my consistently falling tears. “In
Jesus name I pray, amen.” I lied there looking at the nearly battery depleted
phone to try and call 911, but I had no service anymore and even if I did, it
was close to impossible to locate me so I can be saved. I just lied there still
in utter defeat.
