Me and ugly had sex and gave birth to you. – "Brooklyn" by EmCea, diss to Cairo.
Jazmine's POV
My head was ringing when I woke up. Ugh, I feel wretched. I feel like someone was hitting the shit out my eye. Then it all came rushing back to me.
"Urrrgh." I gripped the sides of my head. All those ugly things I said to Cindy….shit…I know she'll never forgive me now. Why did I do that shit? I went over there to apologize and I wound up getting a black eye and a sore jaw and…a bald spot on my head! Ahhh! I felt a patch of hair missing from my head. No wonder my head was killing me!
"NOOOOO!" I shouted as I looked in the mirror to inspect the rest of the damage. It was on the side of my head, and you couldn't notice until you were to run your fingers through it but FUCK! I turned away from the mirror and dove in bed. I was pissed…I wasn't going to let this slide. Damn it, if I'm going to be embarrassed, then we're BOTH are going to be embarrassed. I picked up the phone.
"Hello? Woodcrest police…I'd like to file charges of assault."
o0o
Cindy's POV
I knocked on Alice's door. I really enjoyed our outing yesterday and I was hoping we could do it again. I had my hair in two high pony tails braided up, a pink tie up halter top, a jean skirt and gold sandals. I also added a dash of pink eye shadow to complete the look.
"Hey Cindy! Wow, you look pretty." she greeted.
"Do you want to hang out today? And thank you!" I asked.
"Sure, what do you want to do?" she grabbed her keys off the wall and closed the door behind her.
"I was thinking we go to Wendy's, the mall, and then my house."
"Sounds like a plan." She nodded. When we reached Wendy's, we both ordered salads and wild berry tea. I picked the window to sit by.
"How are you feeling today?" Alice asked me as she was tearing the ranch packet open.
"Really? I still feel pretty shitty." I stirred the ice around in my tea.
"…Alice, how do you really feel about me?" I kept my eyes focused on my tea. I noticed I've become pretty solid with Sirayah, but with Alice, not so much. I can't tell if I was the once distancing myself or was it her. If I were her, I wouldn't know how to approach someone like me either.
"You're pretty cool to me, I mean, you're fun to be around-"
"I know Riley told you about me." I cut in. Since when did I become such a glutton of my own self pity?
"Yeah, but I trust the both of you enough to not worry. I don't have to worry do I?"
"No. Of course not." Alice was…weird to me. Weird like...way too reasonable, I can't fully explain it. I know she's a sweet heart, but a part of me was expecting to get her attitude. I don't know…shit I've been in so many stupid fights with females throughout the years, I tend to forget I'm not the only woman left who doesn't play petty games like that. Maybe I'm petty right now.
"Besides, no one's perfect. I wasn't there when that whole ordeal went down so it has nothing to do with me." she took a sip of her tea. "I'm not the type to meddle in past affairs."
"Oh…sorry for bringing it up…I don't know what's wrong with me. My mom…as well as Jazmine has made me so self conscious. I've always had this dilemma where I feel people are looking down on me for everything I do."
"I'm not. People are making fun of me for dating Lamiltion."
"…Why did you?"
"I was forced to. He knew my mother was paraplegic and would threaten her life all the time if I didn't date him. He found that out in my 10th grade year." Alice looked out the window.
"Nicole told him."
"That bitch!" I yelled.
"Yeah…who would have thought my virginity would be flushed down the drain of dreams by a psychopathic demon. I could be screwed up over it…maybe I am. I haven't even let Riley touch me yet. I haven't even told him all of that; he just knows I was abused. As a woman…I'm ashamed to even say I gave away my most precious treasure to a monster. "
"I guess it was for the better though, my mom sacrificed so much for me when my bitch of a father walked out on us…I would never think twice to give up a few things for her."
I pursed my lips together. How horrific. And I can't help but to think Nicole was the cause of ALL of that. Why would you go around telling someone's mother was sick?
"Does….Sirayah know?"
"No one but you now knows." She stared at her empty salad bowl.
"I couldn't tell her either."
"Don't you worry about it Alice. I KNOW Nicole will get her desserts…but…maybe you should open up to Riley about that. If you could tell me, do you think you're ready to tell him the rest?"
"What if he looks at me differently?"
"Did you look at him different when he told you his past?" I smiled gently at her. We're all so different…yet so much alike. So scared, ashamed, and troubled by our pasts, we let them dictate our future, I think it's time we took it back.
"We should stop letting fears get the best of us." I gripped her hand.
"Yeah, I'm scared that Riley will hurt me and…I don't want him to. Everything…and everyone comes to him so easily. That's another reason on why we haven't…done anything."
"Ah, he thinks that's the main reason though."
"…For now anyway." She sighed. "I have to think of a way to tell him."
"You are stronger than you give yourself credit for Al, you'll find a way."
"Thank you Cin."
We learned a lot about each other today. We continued on to the mall, and it was about 4 in the afternoon when we arrived at my place. We lazed about watching TV and talking about…pretty much nothing when there were knocks at my door.
"I'll get it." Al leaped of the couch and opened the door to see two cops standing at my door step.
"Cynthia McPhearson?" I frowned and jumped up.
"May I help you?"
"Yes. You are under arrest for the assault of Jazmine Du'bois." Alice faced me with her mouth open.
…That…little…snitch.
"No, she started it. I will not go to jail. Not now or ever." Defiance was in my voice.
"Ma'am, she gave us pictures of proof of your assault. And by the looks of you…she took the brunt of the attack. Please come with us."
My body grew cold. Are you fuckin' kidding me? One of the cops handcuffed me and led me outside. Paparazzi were shouting and taking pictures of me as I was being put in the squad car. I was still in total disbelief. No, no, no, no. This isn't happening.
o0o
Alice's POV
I slammed the door in the faces of those scum bastards who dared to try and ask me anything. I pulled out my phone and dialed Caesar.
"Are you with the boys? You all need to go down to the Woodcrest Prescient. Jazmine got Cindy arrested."
o0o
Cairo's POV
"That lame ass diss." I rolled my eyes. I wasn't fazed by it. But fuck it; I'll take care of that later. Right now, I had to deal with Lito and Nicki at this Uno game. I know what you thinking, but whatever. No one is too old for Uno, plus we're playing for money.
"DUEY!" I shouted from the table.
"What nigga?" he didn't stir from the TV.
"Go get us some beer out the fridge."
"Am I your damn servant? Get the shit yourself."
"What is up your ass?" I snapped. He just looked at me, fixed his glasses and turned back to the TV.
"We are suppose to be planning a takeover tour, and your goofy ass sitting there playing fucking Uno."
"We having fun!" Lito yelled.
"Fun is for kids, I want money." Duey flipped through the channels. "No one will take us seriously if we don't take ourselves seriously. Make a response diss track or diss him in a video to put on YouTube or something."
"Yo, maybe he right…." Lito said.
"Of course I'm right, it's time to fight! We'll teach this stupid niggas how to write!" he rhymed. I thought at 21 he'd grow out that shit…I guess not. So after Nicki won the game and took the pot, Duey set up the camera for us and began filming.
"Rollin." He said.
"What up ya'll, this Renegade. I got my nigga Lito and my bitch Nicki here, and I heard 'Brooklyn' from EmCea, aka Bob Marley lookin' ass nigga. Fuck you folks who think he went hard, he just hatin' cause I got these stacks to the ceiling and shit. He says I don't know him, he doesn't know me either, I'll take his lil white bitch away from him, he better recognize. Nicki, spit something.'
'Alice lost her head in Wonderland
Red Queen bitch, off'd they heads
Makin them roll like Wonder bread
Terror Squad can't fuck wit' us
Come harder Marley, you ain't scarin us
We breakin' off all your limbs
Bitch you Mufasa go fall off a cliff'
o0o
Huey's POV
"I can't believe that bitch got her arrested!" I said. All of us were down in the police station. I mean, couldn't she talk this out in private? That's like Riley calling the police on me after scrappin'…and we fought A LOT. I won't admit this to him but…his punches and swings have gotten better. I remember one time he hit my jaw…a nigga was in pain for a good 2 days.
"We are here to bail Cindy McPhearson out." Caesar said highly annoyed.
"Get her ass out NOW!" Riley fumed.
"Her bail is 500,000."
What the fuck? That's half a million! Why her bail so damn high?
"Why her bail so damn high!" Riley read my mind.
"First degree battery and assault." The lady was not fazed by our animations.
"Alright, alright. Damn court system." Caesar took out his card and raised Cindy's bail. After getting back her things and papers for the case, she marched outside to the car.
"I can't believe this!" She was shaking. "I have to go to court….I might face jail time!"
"No you won't. You're white, you'll get some time off." Cindy glared at me.
"Shut up Huey! This isn't the time for your little racist jokes! I'm being serious! I can be blacklisted from my job and never be able to find work of high caliber like Victoria Secret!"
"Hey, chill Cin, it's alright. Look. Haruna will get the meanest son of a bitch lawyer for you so you can win the case. She's already into it." Caesar reassured her.
"When do you go to court?" Alice asked.
"The 27th." She said staring at the paper. On our way back to her place, I spoke up.
"Sorry Cindy, I know you're really messed up over this, but Cease is right, you don't have anything to worry about."
"Hell yeah, we ain't letting you go to jail, fuck that shit." Riley shook his head.
o0o
Sirayah's POV
Huey was sending me texts, updating me about Cindy. This is some mess. I was still at work and students told me that Renegade already sent a retaliation video on YouTube on the team. I saw the video and Nicki took a shot at both Alice and Caesar. I heard the whispers of students saying how much they either loved or hated her. I ignored it all; it was what she wanted after all. When band finally disbanded around 8, I made my way to Huey's house where the gang would be. I wondered was now the time to tell them about Renegade? Eh, I'll figure it out. When I knocked on the door, Huey opened it and greeted me with a kiss.
"Hey, how was work?" he asked me as I walked in.
"Good, I tried to get her as fast as I could. Hey guys." I waved to everyone. They all said hey back. Cindy looked beyond pissed still as I made my way to Huey's kitchen for a drink.
"Okay, so I just got word that faggot Renegade posted a video about us on YouTube." I heard Riley say, I walked back in the living room with my cold glass of Cranberry juice and sat on the loveseat.
"I heard about that at work today, I was debating on telling you guys now or later, with all things considered." I took a drink of juice. Cindy slammed her fist down on the dining table.
"I'm tired of all the bitch-assness that is happening!" she shouted. Riley pulled up the video and played it from beginning to end. As I expected, Alice frowned at the diss shot at her.
"Did this ho really just diss Al? That weak ass freestyle, how dare these people try to step to us." Riley popped his knuckles. I just bobbed my head back and forth. So much drama going on, I just wanted everything to settle down for a while.
o0o
Alice's POV
After spending time with the crew, Riley decided we should have more alone time, and took me over to his place, after getting us some food.
"Nothing like hot wings, a sexy chick, and a Scarface movie to end a stressful day." Riley popped it in the side of the DVD player that was built into his flat screen. I just couldn't help but to laugh.
"This sounds like a ghetto love story."
"Well…when you put it that way…it's perfect."
"You are so serious about watching Scarface? Haha, can't we watch something romantic? Like Love Don't Cost A Thing? Or Love and Basketball? Or how about-"
"Yeeaaaaaa fuck all that." I laughed. So we were watching the movie, and I swear Riley was acting like the movie could hear him.
"HE DON'T TAKE NO SHIT!" he yelled in between drinking his juice. I just giggled at his deep love for the movie. I remember an old picture he took where he re-enacted the iconic Tony Montana picture…it was for his first album 'World is Mine'. Ahh, the memories. I swear, I tried to hate this dude for what all he would rap about, and I got so mad at him with his…sex in the club fiasco. He came off so arrogant and had no indiscretions; I was turned off by it…on the outside at least.
Nicole had bumped his whole album one day and I tried to refuse the fact that he did attract me with his confidence I was called arrogance. So…I remember how I literally sneaked and bought the album…and played it nonstop. And he did have some songs that had more subject matter like, 'Out the Hood,' where he talked about the memories he had of Chicago as a child…I realized there were parts of him he didn't show everyone else. I would never think in a million years I'd meet this dude, let alone BE with him. He would always tell me he saw something in me that made him want to pursue me…I wonder what that thing is? After the movie, Riley shook his head.
"See, only a BITCH would shoot someone in the back. He died like a real G, he fought them motha' fuckas DEAD ON. Took like 1500 shots to the body, STILL living…to a point. He is my legend." Riley sighed. I smiled at him when he turned to me and randomly pinched my cheek.
"You're cute." He kissed me on the cheek and took our empty trays to the kitchen. I got nervous; I wanted to talk to him about the rest of my own past. When he came back, he had two bowels of chocolate chip ice cream.
"I love this flavor. Thank you."
"No prob." We were eating in silence when I spoke. "I have something to tell you."
"You seein another nigga?"
"What? No!" Man, he had such a thick, threatening tone when he asked me that. Was that foreshadowing? Please don't tell me this dude those types to be overly jealous…
"Oh, okay. It must not be very dire then. I know you ain't pregnant. What's the issue?"
"…I left something out about my time with Lamiltion…there's another reason why…I'm not ready for sex just yet." He dropped his spoon, hard enough to make a sound once colliding against the bowl.
"…He didn't do what I'm thinking…" he said lowly. When I didn't answer, he exploded.
"Why didn't you tell me? You all up in my shit talking about how I didn't-" he simmered down. He looked away from me, frowning and looked back at me.
"…didn't tell you everything." His voice was calm.
"I'm not the type to go around telling people I was raped."
"…I'm sorry…I shouldn't have yelled but damn…had I knew all that…I'd probably killed him my damn self." He muttered.
"Al, look…you know I ain't gonna make you do anything you ain't ready to do…but just know…I'm not gonna hurt you like that. I'm a fucked up nigga, but I ain't that bad." He grabbed my hand.
"No more secrets between us, no matter how hard it is to tell…deal?"
"Deal." I said softly. "It's just…my life was wasted with that guy…and it if it wasn't for Nicole that would've never happened. She told him about my mother being paraplegic…"
"WHAT TYPE OF SHIT?...you didn't tell Sirayah either…did you?" I shook my head.
"…Why do you take on so much shit on your own?" he pulled me into his chest. I sniffed as I felt my eyes water.
"I had to…ever since my mom fell ill. It was the two of us. Sirayah would try to help…but I hate feeling like I'm accepting hand outs…and she was working so hard towards her teaching career…I didn't want to get in the way of that."
"You're too important to be in the way."
"Thanks…"
"…I'm worried about this whole Cindy and jail thing…" I looked up at him. "What if our nigga is sent to jail? Shit won't be fair." He shook his head. I glanced back down. I don't want her to go to jail, but if she does, hopefully she'll get like three months or so.
Exclusive: Cindy McPhearson attacks R&B singer and ex-friend 'HollyWould' aka Jazmine Du'Bois. Hollywould released photos of the brutal attack shortly after reporting the incident to the police. Du'bois claims they were indeed in a heated argument, but McPhearson threw the first punches. McPhearson's agent, Haruna Otomo was not available for immediate comment. The set court date for this high profiled case is set for July 27th, 2023.
Comments:
'Hope that white bitch is sent to jail, hittin' on Holly like that!'
'I bet the bitch deserved it.'
'Fuck you hater! I hope they put her under the prison! Ho think she black just cause she with a black man, taking all our men away from us! Burn in hell, ugly DYKE!'
'Cin is cool to me, ya'll some crazy bitches. Were you there when the fight happened? Holly is known to talk shit she can't back up. Huey should've rocked her ass when she was puttin' his business out like that. Ya'll love a fucking crack head. Ignoring all that coke in the background with them strippers, LOL, ya'll funny.'
'HollyWould is a real bitch. Keep up with the drama…she my girl.'

Cindy's POV
The trial came faster than I wanted it to be. People were giving their two cents about what happened, like they really matter. Of course, she played the victim card because she came out looking more battered than I did. I didn't speak about it public like she was because it was no one's business. Huey, Riley, Alice, and Sirayah all came with me and were sitting behind me. My defense attorney, Henry Crenshaw, was up to speak.
"Ms. Du'bois came to McPhearson's home and verbally abused her in her own house. Repeatedly, she tried to make Du'bois leave the house, but she refused to do so. She also was high at the time of her arrival, which raised her inability to be a rational human being. McPhearson stood her ground and used forces necessary to get her out the house, not to mention se too struck McPhearson as well. Michael Caesar, whom has testified in McPhearson behalf, witnessed Du'bois attack."
I sighed. I was already waiting for this shit to be over with. When Crenshaw sat down, he flipped through the police report.
"I'm trying to get you at least 5 months of probation for this. They want to slam some serious time at you. If I contend that Du'bois was intoxicated at the time of her arrival, they won't be so lenient to her." He whispered to me. That made sense. But then again…this WAS Hollywood affairs. Jazmine's attorney stood up.
"So, because she was not in right mind, it was okay for her to strike Du'bois with such force that her hair came out? She is partially bald because of McPhearson. What are verbally scars compared to the physical? We are adults. Fighting is for children. She should have escorted Du'bois properly or notified the police to do it for her. Domestic violence can be prevented; McPhearson chose to aggravate the situation, not pacify it."
"OBJECTION!"
"Over ruled." The judge said with boredom. I laced my fingers together. This was looking bad. He continued.
"What country would this be if we let violence run rapid? McPhearson needs to be charged for her assault to Du'bois. Plain and simple." He smiled at me and sat down.
"Alright, the jury has 30 mins to deliberate." She slammed her gavel and it went to recess.
"That guy is a douche." Alice whispered as they all leaned forward to my back.
"Don't worry, he has made a point. She came to your house high off her ass and wouldn't leave. Plus she hit you too!" Riley hissed.
"I know…but that won't mean I'm not gonna get anything for it." I sighed.
"Don't worry Cin, we got your back, no matter what." Huey said, Sirayah nodded in agreement, "Nothing's gonna happen to you."
I sure hope so. After the deliberation, one member of the jury stood up.
"Have you came to a verdict?" the judge asked.
"Yes ma'am, we the jury, after overlooking the testimonies, police reports, and both sides, we find Cindy McPhearson…"
LATER GUYS! =D
