Part 3 - The Aftermath After the Arrest
So there I was, my hair still a mess, stinky, and quite upset and confused by everything that has happened. I didn't know how long I would be at my gram's but all of the court dates and everything were set for the next month. All that was going through my head over the next few weeks were questions asking why this had happened. Why did my own sister make up this elaborate story about me? Maybe she was jealous because I was so well liked and she wanted to make me look bad...I dunno. It really didn't matter though. Through her friends and various other channels, the image of me being a "wacko woman beater" was spread throughout my town. I had absolutely no way to defend myself because she was the so-called "victim" and in this day and age, people pity the victim. It doesn't matter that everything she said was a lie...all that matters is that people believed it.
As you probably guessed, this was something that sent me right back into being depressed. I mean, I didn't know what was going to happen to me in court. For all I knew, I could have gone to prison for something I didn't do. If it came down to her word against mine, there is no doubt that they would have believed her because she was the "victim". What people didn't understand was that I was the actual victim here. Anyways, being quite depressed wasn't good so I tried to keep in contact with friends, mainly Korin at this time. But, as my life full of bad luck continued, she became quite busy with a job. We were supposed to go to a movie or something for Valentine's Day just as friends but it didn't happen. I was really starting to like this girl but she made it clear she just didn't have time for a boyfriend. The date for my hearing got pushed back but we eventually got it done in March and another date was scheduled for the trial or whatever it was. In April, I found out that Korin was now back together with her ex-boyfriend and had absolutely no time for anything else. We didn't see each other ever again and she actually hates my guts now. Why? I assume because I was depressed. Or maybe she was friends with one of my sister's friends and they convinced her I was actually a nut. I don't know. Alot of people now hate me I'm sure...too bad they aren't intelligent enough to understand the truth.
Now, a funny thing happened in March or April, conveniently enough, right around the time of the scheduled trial. My sister supposedly was overcome with some sort of sickness that caused her to faint and sent her to the hospital. Yup, she was in the hospital on the date that the trial was set for so it was changed. I can't remember if it was changed again for the same reason or not but she was in the hospital when the actual trial took place. It's kind of funny because when I was in depression and needed people to be there for me, nobody would even talk to me. Most people actually hated me for it. But when she makes up stories and "gets sick", she gets tons of pity and attention. This is the world that we live in. I tried working at Dorney Park over the summer but things just got to me and I lost interest in it. I've said it was too far of a drive but I was just not in the mood to do much of anything. The whole thing pretty much destroyed my family and no matter how much everybody tried to act like it didn't happen, things will never be the same.
