Okay guys, I'm back from boot camp and it was long as hell! Yeah, I got hurt pretty bad, but 'nuff bout me, y'all probably only wanna know about the story. I should have more time to focus on my stories now that my summer has officially started.

"Wha' the fuck is goin' on?! "Cindy yelped.

She and Riley had just walked into her and Jazmine's shared room, only to find Jazmine and Huey naked in bed together. Jazmine felt her face begin to burn with embarrassment as Huey groggily sat up, "What the hell…, "He began. He saw Riley and Cindy standing at the doorframe; Cindy looking horrified and Riley looking like he was about to congratulate him, and groaned.

Jazmine hurriedly leaned down off the bed, the blankets well wrapped around her, and grabbed her clothes, well, her underwear and bra. She shimmied them on and then pulled on the nearest shirt, which happened to be Huey's.

Huey had found his boxers on the floor and pulled them on, along with his pants, and stood up. Cindy was about to beat the shit out of him until Mr. Freeman came to the scene.

"Aw hell boy! What did you do? "He yelled. He lifted his cane and swung at Huey, who dodged it, "Granddad, calm down, "Huey said, sounding indifferent.

"Boy who gave you permission to have relations with that little baby? "Mr. Freeman slapped himself on the head, "She did Granddad, it's not like I forced her to, "Huey replied simply.

Cindy hurried over to Jazmine, "Wha' the fuck were ya thinkin'?! "She yelled, grabbing onto Jazmine's shoulders and shaking her hard, "Cindy, calm down, it's not a big deal…, "Jazmine replied.

"Oh my god Jaz! "Cindy groaned, "We're supposed to stay here for protection, not so ya horny ass can fuck around wit' Huey! "

Riley laughed as his brother passed by, but then he became serious, "Yo, while me an' Cindy were bein' shot at by crazy lunatics, ya an' Jaz were ova here fuckin' each other's brains out? "He stated bluntly.

"What? "Huey whirled around to look at him, "Who was shooting at you? "He asked, suddenly serious as well.

"Those two niggas from the mall, "Riley replied, "Don't worry, we lost 'em after Cindy nailed their car with a wrench, "

"You did what? "Jazmine arched her eyebrow at Cindy, who turned red and looked away, "And you're worried about me! "Jazmine threw her hands up in disbelief.

"We was fine Jaz, "Cindy said calmly. Jazmine rolled her eyes. She grabbed her shorts and pulled them on, then headed into the bathroom, "I'm gonna take a shower, okay, "She muttered, slamming the door.

Riley turned to Huey, "An' yo ass ain't joinin' her, "He teased. Huey blushed slightly, "C'mon, we gotta meet up wit' Caesar and Hiro, "Riley said, dragging his brother out of the room. Mr. Freeman cursed under his breath and hobbled back downstairs and to his recliner.

Jazmine felt the steaming hot water hit her skin and she sighed. After today, she really needed a nap. Is that was sex does to you?

She washed herself off and stepped out of the steaming shower, pulling a towel around her body. She began to blow dry her hair when she heard a loud knock at the front door. She quickly dressed herself and headed out her door. She arrived at the top of the stairs when Riley had just opened the door, Cindy next to him.

"Yo, wassup nigga, "Riley greeted whoever was at the door.

Cindy backed up a little and watched in awe as a black man in a purple suit strolled in. She looked up to see Jazmine's questioning face, as if begging to know who the nigga in the purple was.

Jazmine had never seen this man before. He was on the short side and wore all purple, as if he was royalty. He had on a purple fedora with purple sunglasses and gold rings on almost every finger, each with different stones. He carried a cane with a ruby at the top.

As soon as he walked in, someone else did, too.

It was a woman, a tall woman in stilettoes. She had strawberry blonde hair and big green eyes with tanned skin. She wore a mini skirt and a crop top that exposed her pierced belly button. On her ears adorned several more piercings, and she even had one on her nose. Her lips were a bright red and plump, but that must've been the makeup working its magic.

"Well hello Freeman boy, "The man clucked. His voice was high pitched and raspy, "We say hello from the streets! "He then gestured to the woman standing with him, who was almost taller than he, "This is my main bitch. "He explained, "Her spoiled ass insists on accompanying me on all my trips, "He added.

"Hello cuties, "She said to Riley and Huey, who had just approached. Jazmine had met them all at the bottom of the stairs and felt her face burn as she looked at the tall, sexy woman, and then back at her own body, covered by a drooping shirt and shorts.

"My name's Cristal, like the champagne, "She introduced herself with a sweet smile. The man chuckled, "And I'm A Pimp Named Slickback, "He said, "We're lookin' for Huey Freeman? "

"I'm Huey, "Huey muttered.

"Well, well, brother, we heard you needed some assistance, "A Pimp Named Slickback said, "Yeah, but who called you? "Huey arched an eyebrow at him.

"Why, we got a lovely call from Mr. Wuncler III, "A Pimp Named Slickback said, "I offered up my services as a dear friend…and after seeing that check being written by Sr. Wuncler himself, "He laughed hoarsely.

"I can't believe Ed an' Rummy called a pimp! "Riley laughed, slapping himself on the head, "Of all the niggas to call…, "

"A pimp? "Jazmine suddenly felt afraid. She had heard about pimps in school, about how they would prey on girls and pick them up, then use them for sex and money. Jazmine stepped back, and A Pimp Named Slickback noticed.

"There, there, darling. Slickback ain't gonna be taking you, "He assured her. He looked her up and down, "You're not…the workin' type, "He said. The comment was left to sink into Jazmine until she realized what it meant; she wasn't good enough to be chosen as a prostitute.

This should've been relieving, but instead, Jazmine felt obviously insecure.

"Damn right she's not the working type, "Huey then said defensively, "She doesn't need to be working, "

"Oh, I see Mr. Huey Freeman! Now I know what Mr. Wuncler III was talking about you having a thing for a…., "He eyed Jazmine mischievously, "Mulatto, "He finished.

Jazmine gulped hard.

"Aight, let's get down to business, "Riley said.

In her head, Jazmine thought of the most childish thing possible.

To defeat the Huns! The thought made her want to laugh and slap herself at the same time for thinking about a Disney song at a moment like this. This was the time to be the most mature woman she could be…but instead, she was thinking about a song from Mulan.

Cindy grabbed onto Jazmine's arm as they were pushed into the living room. Cindy and Jazmine sat side by side on the couch. Riley chose to stand behind the couch, directly behind Cindy, while Huey sat down next to Jazmine and instinctively put his arm around her when Slickback passed by.

Cindy gently scooted over a little bit to give the two some space, but Jazmine felt like she could barely breathe. She couldn't believe she was in the room with a pimp who didn't think she could be good enough to become something as discriminating as a prostitute.

Prostitutes are supposed to be sexy and gorgeous, Jazmine thought, if I'm not good enough for that…does that mean I'm not good enough for Huey? She looked up at Huey from her position by his side. Huey didn't seemed fazed by Slickback's comment about Jazmine.

"So, what is the plan, boys? "Slickback asked the crew. Huey sighed, "As of now, we're hiding behind these walls. "

The two, along with Riley, began a deep conversation that neither Cindy nor Jazmine could understand.

Cristal, who had been standing next to Slickback, got Jazmine's attention and waved her over to the hallway. Jazmine quietly obeyed, leaving Cindy to listen to the ideas being thrown.

Jazmine met the lovely Cristal in the hallway, confused as to why she had been called there. She had never seen a prostitute before, or even been this close to one, but Cristal seemed oddly normal, despite her attire. Cristal could see the innocence in Jazmine's eyes and it made her smirk slightly.

"You're Jazmine, right? "Cristal asked. Jazmine only nodded in reply.

"Good, well, here, "Cristal fished into her Prada purse and pulled out a photo that had been folded in half, "I thought you should have this, "

"What is it? "Jazmine asked. She took the picture and unfolded it.

The first face she recognized was Huey's. He was stoic, not one expression in his face. He looked the same, the picture must've been taken recently. The one face she did not recognize was the girl he was with.

She had dark hair and sun kissed skin. Her smile was wide and flashy; whiter than a brand new white Crayola color pencil. She wore a pair of sunglasses, shielding her eyes. She wore a pair of shorts and a tank top. She was curvy and had long, lean legs with a gorgeous figure. Huey's arm was wrapped lazily around her waist, hers around his neck.

"S-she's Ava, "Jazmine gasped, her voice small.

Cristal nodded sadly, "Yes, that's the infamous Ava you've probably been hearing about but haven't seen, "

"H-how close were they? "Jazmine asked. She felt even more insecure than before. How could Jazmine compete with this?

"They were friends, as far as I know, until he asked her out, "Cristal shrugged, "Slickback didn't really tell me much about her while we were coming over here; only that she's obviously madly in love with Huey, "Cristal rolled her eyes, "Love these days just isn't the same, "

"What do you mean? "Jazmine asked.

"I take it you've never 'fallen in love' before, "Cristal said. Jazmine shook her head.

"Well, love these days isn't real. Well, I'm sure Huey and Ava's love was real; from what I was told, they had been best friends before ever going out. Their love was strong at one point, I'm sure of it, "

She meant nothing.

"What I'm trying to tell you, Jazmine…I don't think Huey's worth it, "

Jazmine felt her heart heave at Cristal's words. Not because she was angry, but because deep down, she knew Cristal was right. Jazmine had only known Huey for a short amount of time, Ava had known Huey forever. They had obviously been in love, and who knows. Maybe Huey really did love her, he just wanted a break from Ava's insanity.

Jazmine turned back to look at Huey, who was deep in thought. She felt her heart begin to hurt, "But I-, "Jazmine couldn't say it, "I love him, "She whispered.

Cristal shook her head, "Jazmine, love takes time. Believe me, love takes time…and effort, "She looked sadly at Slickback, "Love doesn't happen within the first few weeks, "

Jazmine thought about Huey for a moment, all the things he had said to her.

I had to have you, Jazmine. I like you for you. You're the reason I like you.

"What do I do now? "Jazmine was forcing herself to not cry. Cristal pitied Jazmine's innocent love, "It's better to leave him, "She whispered, "I'm not telling you this for Ava's advantage. I haven't even met the bitch and she's already a bigger bitch than me. "Cristal rolled her eyes, "Sending threats isn't fair game, honey. And neither is sending dogs to do your dirty work. This Ava plays by cheating. Anyways, I'm telling you this because…I can tell something bad is gonna happen, "Cristal sighed, "And I know someone will get hurt. I don't want you getting hurt for no reason, "

"T-thank you, Cristal, "Jazmine whimpered. She felt the tears coming on before she could stop them. Cristal pulled Jazmine into a warm hug, "There, there, Jazmine. Everything will be fine. "

"No, it won't, "Jazmine whispered into Cristal's chest, "I've already given him everything I could, "

"No…, "Cristal gapped, pulling away, "Oh Jazmine, why would you do that? "

Jazmine started crying a little more, shaking her head, "I don't know, "She breathed, "I don't know. "

After Slickback and Cristal left, Jazmine rushed Cindy into their room for a serious talk.

After explaining what Cristal had told her, and after showing her the picture, Cindy agreed heavy heartedly, "I'm so sorry Jaz, "

Jazmine felt like bursting into tears, and she did, right into the pillows. How could this happen? She had risked everything to be with someone who probably didn't even want to be with her; he just wanted her.

Cindy felt her blood begin to boil, but it quickly cooled. After all this, she was too tired to really think about anything. Instead, she lied down next to a sobbing Jazmine and drifted off to sleep.

Jazmine couldn't believe it. Her whole world came apart for someone she didn't have a chance with. She left her family, put herself at risk, all for someone who might eventually leave her.

There was a knock at the door, and Mr. Freeman came in. He slowly pulled up a seat and sat down near Jazmine.

"Cutie pie, what did Cristal tell ya? "He asked suddenly.

"Sh-she told me that Huey isn't worth it, "Jazmine shuddered. She gave Mr. Freeman the saddest, most defeated look ever, "Please tell me she's lying. Please tell me Huey isn't just cruel. "

Mr. Freeman sighed, "After he lost his parents, I don't even know if he can love anyone, it's amazing he stayed with Ava, "

"He told me he was afraid, "Jazmine replied slowly. Mr. Freeman laughed, "Huey? Afraid? I don't even think that's a part of his vocabulary, "Mr. Freeman coughed out flem, "No, he told me he was afraid because of Ava's father…, "

"Ah, yes, "Mr. Freeman became dark, "I understand. "

"What's going to happen now? "Jazmine asked.

"We have to wait and hope that Ed, Rummy, and the boys have come up with a damn good plan to get us outta this mess, "Mr. Freeman said gruffly, standing. He hobbled away. Jazmine remembered what Huey had said about Mr. Freeman's cane.

Jazmine pulled out her phone and decided to listen to Pandora to calm her down. She picked a random playlist and listened, throwing her phone beside her and flopping down on the bed next to Cindy.

"With the taste of your lips I'm on the run

You're toxic, I'm slippin' under

With a taste of a poison paradise

I'm addicted to you, don't you know that you're toxic?

And I love what you do, don't you know that you're toxic? "

Jazmine groaned inwardly as she continued to listen to Toxic by Brittney Spears. The song was really conveying the attitude in the air at the moment. Could Huey really be toxic?

Cindy could hear the music playing and woke up, "Yo man, change this damn song, "She mumbled. She grabbed Jazmine's phone and pushed another playlist. She tossed the phone back to Jazmine and laid back down, waiting for the music to come on.

"Already got one rolled up in my left hand

Pussy on my mind, tighter than a headband

Got Kush in my lungs, got ganja in my sweat glands

This shit I'm on, better than the next strand, "

Headband by B.o.B blared through Jazmine's little phone, and she was about to lose it. The last thing she wanted was to hear a rap song about weed and girls and sex. She turned Pandora off and decided to nap with Cindy.

Huey stared at an old photo on his phone.

It was of him and Ava. For some reason, he couldn't delete this one picture. It was a picture them at the movies. Ava had caught Huey off guard during one of the rare moments of him smiling at her. She was cheerily smiling into the camera, while Huey's smile looked little to nothing compared to hers.

"Aye man, you gotta leave all tha' shit in the past, "Riley said, knocking the phone to the carpeted floor. Huey cursed under his breath and picked it up. He took one last glance at it and locked his phone.

"I thought ya liked Jaz, "Riley said, sitting down on the opposite couch in the Freeman household. Cindy and Jazmine had gone upstairs and hadn't come down since Cristal and Slickback left. Riley had noticed that Jazmine and Cristal had gone off to the side to talk, but about what, he didn't know. He, however, did not tell Huey about it.

"I do, "Huey said, "More than I ever loved Ava, "

"Then why ya lookin' at tha' old picture? "Riley asked.

Huey sighed, "I'm trying to remember what made me want to be with her in the first place, "He said, "Jazmine is so different. She's so sweet and caring, nothing like Ava. Ava was always so mean and manipulative. "

"I'll say nigga, "Riley muttered. Riley knew about Ava being cruel and uncannily smart for her age. Her father had something to do with it.

"Why'd ya fuck wit' a crazy bitch like her? "Riley asked. Huey shrugged, "I loved her once Riley, I stayed with her forever, "

"Cause yo pussy ass was afraid, "Riley made a face, "Damn it, Huey, ya have somethin' right now with Jaz. She really cares about yo dumbass, an' I hope you don't lose her, "

"Yeah, "Huey said, tired of listening to Riley preach, even though he had a point, "What about you and Cindy? "

At the mention of her name, Riley's face turned red, "What'chu mean nigga, "He said, his voice cracking. Huey smirked, "I know you like her, "

"So wha'? She's a down ass female wit' a killer body an' she knows how to take care of herself, "Riley approved of Cindy very much. Huey could daresay that Riley liked her a lot more than he claimed to.

"Listen, Huey, "Riley continued, "Jazmine's gettin' antsy. She don't like this whole situation you put her in, "

"I know, "Huey sighed. He leaned back against the couch, rubbing his head anxiously, "I shouldn't have continued to speak to her after saving her that night at the party, "He admitted, "But, I'm glad I did. I got to meet a wonderful person, "

"Maybe yo ass will get to keep her too, "Riley said.

Huey wanted to scream, "Maybe, "

"Well? "

Ava lied in her hotel room bed, munching away on more vegetables. Even though she was in the mood for something sweet, she had to keep herself looking good for when they finally got Huey.

"Ma'am, I think we might be able to lure Jazmine out of the house, perhaps Cindy as well, "Victor replied. He and Mike had been summoned to meet her the day before.

"We've been here how long and you barely came up with that now? "Ava muttered.

Mike tried to sound nonchalant, "The girl, Jazmine, she is a dancer, "

Ava shrugged, "So? "Ava herself could not dance to save her life.

"We have heard that in about a month and a half, maybe less, there is going to be a Winter Dance recital at their school, Wuncler High…we have also found out that Jazmine plans on dancing in it, "

"Go on, "Ava was intrigued.

"Perhaps, either when the recital first starts or when it ends, we can take both girls at once while you make a grand appearance for Huey and Riley Freeman, "Victor could tell Ava liked the plan very much, she had a certain gleam in her eye; the same gleam her father would have.

"That sounds like a wonderful plan, but what about the other men they've involved? "Ava asked. She wanted to make sure this plan was foolproof.

"We'll be able to take care of them, so long as we keep them separated from the boys, "

"Mae! "Ava called out. Mae came out of the bathroom, where she had been the entire time, "What? "She asked, slightly annoyed.

"I have a job for you, "Ava replied with a sly smile. Mae's ears perked up, "I'm listening girl, c'mon, "

"I want you to…distract the other bodyguards Huey and Riley have found, "Ava replied simply, "They will never know who you are, I'll make sure of that, "

Mae smiled widely, "Count me in, "She had a dying itch to kick some ass. Maybe, when they had the girls in their hands, she could take out all her anger on the blonde girl…

"Let me know as soon as this recital is, "Ava ordered. Mike and Victor nodded before leaving the room. The moment they did, Mike's cell phone rang.

"Well, well, how's she doing? "A man asked. It was Boss.

"She's fine, Boss, "Mike replied, "Good, you make sure she and that friend of hers are fine, "

"Will do, "Mike muttered before hanging up. He didn't really like Ava or the friend, Mae, but he had to serve them so long as Boss told him to.

"What did Boss want? "Victor asked as they left the hotel.

"He just wanted to make sure his daughter and her friend, Mae, are being well taken care of, "Mike grumbled. Victor had to chuckle as they hopped in the car, "What, has he lost faith in us? "

"Dunno, "Mike shrugged.

"It was a joke, "Victor then said, leaving the hotel premises.

So I decided to involve Slickback & Cristal in this story. A while back I wrote a one shot for Cristal but never posted it. She is a minor character that showed up in like one episode, but I decided to write it anyways. I haven't posted it because I don't know if I really should because it has a few possible triggers in it.

Xoxoxo, queen
