Why me!

Custody

~ sunday morning

My alarm rings.. I roll over, and cut it off.

I wipe my eyes, and throw the covers off of me.

I sit there. Then i push myself up. I go take an shower. And brush my teeth. I wash my face, add some foundation on, and eyeliner. I look in the mirror, i'm so small. my waist was tiny. i could see my ribs. my neck i could see all my muscles. I put my hair into a high bun. I throw on a white, button up shirt, no sleeves, with an black pencil skirt.. I slip my black flowery see through toms on.. And go downstairs. My mom was cooking. Baby sit down, she says... You want eggs? Bacon? Pancakes? She says.. Yes ma.. I say.. Eat quickly.. She says..

She gives me my plate, and i eat, quickly. I haven't had food in years.. We walk out the door.

As were in the car, my mom gives me stares. From my feet to head. She wants to cry.. I see it in her eyes.. But she holds it in..

Mami, its not your fault. I say.. Then why are you like this ay? Huh answer me! She yells.. I just put my head down.. We arrive at the courthouse. We go in. My mom tells the lady, our appointment.. And we go back to the room..

Are lawyer is already there. We sit down next to him.

All rise.. The judge says. We stand.. Then seat.

Swann, to the stand.

The police officer that raped me, goes to the stand.

He puts his right hand up, and the rest.

So tell your side of the story, the Judge says.

Um, me and my Partner Sam. Was on duty, and we saw the young lady on the corner. And we asked her what she was doing and she insisted to get feisty and angry, and tried to attack, so we tazed her... He gets interrupted

Wait! Was she messing with anyone at that corner? The judge asks.. Noo.. Swann says

Okay.. Continue.. The judge writes something down.

After we tazed her, we put her in the car, and we went to the donut shop, and then to the police shop.

My lawyer stands up.. My i proceed with some questions? He asks..

Go right ahead the Judge says..

So what made you, come to this corner? And mess with her? It was daytime, why would you look for prostitutes in the day? He asks..

I umm... Umm.. We were just driving around looking for trouble and we saw her with tight clothes on.. On the curb.. Swann says

But i thought she was on the corner? So she was on the curb?

My lawyer says..

No i never said that.. Swann says.

Why did it take you guys so long to get to the police station.. The donut shop, is at the corner! He says..

We weren't long.. Swann says.

Thats all your honor.

Hernandez to the stand..

I get up and go to the stand..

So what happened baby girl? The Judge asks.

My life was a wreck.. I got kicked out, and i was pregnant.. I um was an crackhead.. I got help though.. I was walking down the street one day, and this girl asked me if i wanted to make money, and isaid sure.. I get interrupted

Why would you say sure? The judge asks..

It was money i say..

But anyways.. This truck, came and picked us up.. And took us to this big house..

Light skin man? The pimp? The judge asks..

Yes.. I say shamefully.

Yeah he has alot of charges.. He tells the police something.

And he raped me there. Then after he told me to put these clothes on, and i did, and this girl came and got me and said lets go to work. We went outside to this streetlight. And Officer Swann pulled up.. He said he wanted me.. The girl pushed me in but i hesitated, but she got me in there.. He said he shouldn't be doing this because he's an cop. But his wife sucks..

Thats a lie, swann cuts me off and say..

Thats enough! The judge yells

And he took us in this alley.. And he made me do whatever he said.. I told him, this isn't my job, i don't know what to do..

He forced me.. And then left me out there.. Then the next evening, him and his partner, was their. And they woke me up.. They said i'm under arrest.. I said why i'm homeless.. *i start to cry* , and he tazes me, twice! They handcuff me and slammed my face on the ground, I have the mark right here. *i rub foundation off* I show everyone.

After that they threw me in the car, and we drove somewhere.. And Swann, tazed my vagina.. For pleasurement and then raped me.. And his partner face raped me.. They took turns too. I couldnt breathe.. I passed out.. And thats why i was sleep the whole ride..

I also have Chlamydia.. So you can get them tested.

My mom face looks shocked.. She turns red, i cant tell if she's mad or embarrassed.

Thank you Payton.. The Judge says

I sit back down..

Were gonna have an awaiting trail.. The judge says.

Officer Swann , Sam.. Your suspended from work.. Until we get those test.. And when we do, and you guys are positive for Chlamydia, you guys are going to Jail for 15years for domestic violence, and sexual assault, and child statutory rape.

You guys will have sexual offenders, and rapist, on your record.. The judge says.

My mom claps! And stands up.

And for you.. Ma'am... The Judge says..

Payton, is gonna be taken away from you. Her dad will have custody.. We'll contact him, and she'll be sent to his house in a couple of hours.. Or an day, wherever he lives.

My mom sits down, and breaks down in tears..

What?! I scream

Its either that, or 2weeks in jail.

She let an minor drop out of school, and sent out on the streets. Your 17 right? The judge says, and asks.. Yes i say..

Okay then. He says

I hug my mom tightly..

Next court-date is Saturday. We have to give the tests a chance to get threw.. And umm i want them to take two!

He bangs the hammer, and walks away.

We all get up, and leave.
