"She isn't listening to me," Huey exclaimed. "I don't know what else to do,"
"Huey, is there some other reason why she isn't taking the medication that I have prescribed to her?" Dr. Brown asked.
"Not that I can think of," Huey said, "She keeps saying that she doesn't want to kill the baby and completely panics."
"Is this when you give her the medications?" she inquired.
"Yes," he stated, "I don't understand why she is freaking out about it."
"Huey," Dr. Brown said, "I have to ask, but does she recall her first pregnancy?"
"Only that she lost the baby," he alleged. "Why?" He asked.
"Give me a couple of hours and I will be right there. I have a funny feeling..."
"Are you sure Huey?" Isabella asked, "that this is a good idea?"
"What other choice do we have?" Huey said, "We're doing this for her and the baby's sake, and whatever Dr. Brown suggests that can help, then we have to do it."
They walked down the steps and into the living room.
"Even if it's painful for her?" Isabella asked.
Huey paused, stopping in his tracks. He recognized that this was a risk even though he had no idea what Dr. Brown was planning, but he wanted her to heal, to become better.
Knowing with his own therapy that he had to go through all of that pain again just to have some kind of closure. He was at a point that if there's anything to help Jazmine then he needed to do it.
"Yes," he said after some time, "if it can grant her some closure on it then it's something we have to try at least."
There was a firm knock on the door. Huey went over to open the doorway to invite Dr. Brown inside.
"Hello Huey," she articulated, "Did you tell Jazmine that I was arriving?" She said, walking in.
"Yes," he said, closing the door, "She's with Malcolm right now,"
"She took a shine to that little one, didn't she?" Dr. Brown said.
"Yup, she has," Huey said as they walked into the living room, "she wants to protect him,"
"I see," She said.
"Hello Dr. Brown," Isabella said, "Can I offer you a cup of coffee?" She volunteered.
"Hello Isabella, a tea would be lovely," she stated.
"Of course, I will make a pot for everyone. And I will let Jazmine know you're here," she stated, before walking away. Once Dr. Brown was settled, she spoke once more.
"I wanted to let you know that I have reviewed Jazmine's prenatal file again. She once stated that she doesn't remember much about her first pregnancy, however, I have an idea that will help trigger her memories," she said, sitting down.
"How will this help her take her medications?" Huey asked.
"We'll have to find out," she said, noticing Jazmine.
" Hello, Jazmine! You look well,"she exclaimed as Jazmine entered the room with Malcolm in her arms.
"Thank you, Dr. Brown" Jazmine said, sitting with Malcolm on her lap. "Is everything alright?" Jazmine asked. Her friendly way of saying what are you doing here.
"Oh, everything is fine. I would like to go over a few things with you," she expressed.
"A few things like what?" Jazmine asked, looking over to Huey who shrugged his shoulders with his hands in his pockets.
"Well, I wanted to talk about,"Dr. Brown stated, but she was interrupted when Jazmine let out a yelp. Malcolm took hold of her hair and was pulling it roughly.
"No Malcolm!" Huey said, hastening over to help Jazmine, who was struggling as Malcolm wrapped her hair around her fist and placed it in his mouth.
"Huey, it's fine,"Jazmine said, giggling as she gently took away her hair from his grasp. Huey grabbed Malcolm, only he started to fuss and cry.
Dr. Brown smiled at the two who were working together to stimulate the baby to stop crying.
" He must be hungry," Huey said.
"But I already fed him, I think he's teething,"Jazmine suggested. "Huey, could you go get his teething rattle," she asked.
Huey left to recover it while Jazmine rocked Malcolm, rubbing his back.
"Shh, shh, it's alright baby, Daddy's getting it now,"Jazmine said in a tranquil voice.
"Huey, hurry!"Jazmine yelled.
Huey came back with the teddy shaped teething rattle and handed it to Malcolm, who suckled it with his mouth. He hummed as he nibbled on the rattle.
Huey looked surprised "It worked," he pronounced.
"Yeah,"Jazmine said, smiling at him.
Dr. Brown clapped lightly. "Wow, Jazmine you're going to be a very good mama,"she stated.
"Thank you, hopefully not too soon," she said, smiling as she stroked her belly.
"Awe you'll be fine,"Dr. Brown said, admiring Jazmine's parental skills.
"Here you are," Isabella announced, laying down a pot of tea with three mugs with blueberry muffins. Huey opened his mouth to object but Isabella spoke before him. "Don't worry Huey, they're sugar-free," she said.
"And I will take this little Nene with me." she said, opening her arms out.
Everyone watches as Jazmine gave Malcolm to Isabella in a loving manner. Once Malcolm was removed from the room, Jazmine turned her attention to Ebony.
"I thought that the following meeting was later this week?" Jazmine remembered.
"It is but it came to my attention that you are not taking your medication," Dr. Brown said, getting to the point.
Jazmine shot Huey a dirty look and crossed her arms. "I'll pass, I'm not taking those baby killing pills!"Jazmine said.
"I see," Dr. Brown said, taking something out of her briefcase. "But I do want to speak to you about your first pregnancy," she said.
" Wha, what, what, about it?" Jazmine asked nervously.
"Do you remember how you lost it yet?" Dr. Brown asked as she carried something in her hand.
"No," she lied.
Brown knew she wasn't telling the truth and it was time for her to know that.
"You don't remember or where you were given something like this?" Dr. Brown said, halting out a small pill in the palm of her hand.
Jazmine's eyes widened because those were the same pills from her dream. She screamed and leaped on the couch. . Huey tried to calm her down.
"Jazmine, do you notice this?" Dr. Brown asked.
"No!" Jazmine cried as she was coiled up against the couch. "Huey stop her!" She shouted.
"How the hell is terrorizing her going to help her!" Huey said, becoming angry.
Dr. Brown ignored him and struck her hand towards Jazmine so she could see.
"Jazmine, do you remember this pill?"
Jazmine sobbed louder. Huey rubbed her back, he didn't know what was going on, but he didn't like seeing her like this.
Dr. Brown nodded her head, she got her answer and dropped the pill into her cup of tea.
"Jazmine, you have taken this pill before haven't you?"
"Haven't you?" She demanded again.
"I thought it was Tylenol," Jazmine confessed. "You're trying to trick me, you put that in my tea, you're trying to kill my baby!" She said, freaking out.
"No, no, of course not Jazmine. Let's get rid of it," Dr. Brown said, taking the tea that held the little pill inside.
Together they walked to the kitchen and allowed Jazmine to pour away the tea into the sink.
"Get rid of these two," Dr. Brown said, giving her the remainder of pills.
Jazmine felt anger when she held onto the pill packet. These awful pills caused her to lose her child. She wasn't going to lose her baby again as she cried and threw every pill down the sinkhole. Jazmine fell to the floor crying as the last pill ran down the drainage. Dr. Brown allowed her to cry as she went down on the floor with her.
Huey stood there confused, hurt, angry because he wasn't sure what was going on.
"There was blood, there was blood everywhere," Jazmine revealed.
"That pill is called misoprostol," Dr. Brown explained, "and you are right. It is really an awful pill. It caused your body miscarriage which explains the bleeding, It's also called an abortion pill,"She explained.
Jazmine cried harder as she discovered what she had taken. She actually took an abortion pill?
"Jazmine," Dr. Brown said, "I have to care for two patients. You and your little one. I would never give you anything to hurt you or your child. I immediately understand why you don't like pills because of your experience" she stated
"Merely it is against my oath as a doctor to go against my patient's wishes. wishes. I know this baby is everything to you."
"This baby is all I have left," Jazmine sniffled.
Huey was hurt at her confession.
"I realize. I'm going to do everything I can to protect you and your child, but you need to start considering the medication I have given you, so you can have a fighting chance against Child Protective services. I assure it won't hurt the baby," she said, giving Jazmine her medication.
Jazmine stared at the pills and took a deep breath before taking them into her own hand. She closed her eyes as she swallowed them down. Huey handed her a glass of water.
Jazmine was scared at this. Did she just endanger her child?
"Don't worry," Dr. Brown said gently, "The baby is going to be absolutely fine,"
When Jazmine felt her baby kick, she whimpered softly.
"Is everything alright?" Isabella asked.
"Isabella, can you take Jazmine into her room to rest? She had a rough session," Dr. Brown said.
"Come, let's lay down," She suggested.
Once Isabella and Jazmine were out of the kitchen, she addressed Huey.
"Are you alright?" she asked Huey who had his head down, running his hands through his hair. He couldn't believe Jazmine would do such a thing.
"She took abortion pills?" Huey said in disbelief.
"Yes Huey, but I don't think it was willing," Dr. Brown said, "they're similar looking to Tylenol so she wouldn't have noticed. What perplexed me was it was in her tea," She explained.
"What are you saying?" Huey asked furiously.
"Huey, she didn't abort her first baby." Dr. Brown said. "Someone else did it for her, " she said in a dangerous tone.
Pills and potions
We're overdosing
I'm angry but I still love you
For the past few weeks, Jazmine has been doing everything she could to do right by her child. Each day she counted every kick her baby made and each time it motivated her more and more. Though she doesn't approve of it, she finally found the courage to take her medication.
It was hard for her at first, but thanks to Dr. Brown, she overcame those fears, but now things were different between her and Huey. Ever since they found out the truth behind her first pregnancy, Huey hasn't spoken much and he was always busy at work.
Pills and potions
We're overdosing
Can't stand it but I still love you
He took care of her, but he was always outdoors. He didn't spend much time with her and it made her feel sad. She couldn't help but feel as if he was avoiding her.
Was he mad at her about the abortion? She mentally asked herself.
I still love, I still love
I still love, I still love
I still lo-o-ove, I still love
Why did she still care about what he thinks? Isn't she thrilled he isn't smothering her so much? She could pretend all she wants, but inside her heart, she always wanted Huey there.
I still love, I still love
I still love, I still love
Jazmine sighs sadly as she lays on her pillow. A tear dropped from her eyes, she felt so cast down.
"Jazmine?" Isabella knocked lightly on her threshold.
No response.
I still love, I still love
I still love, I still love
I still lo-o-ove, I still love
"Jazmine are you alright?" Isabella asked, entering the dark room. She twisted on the lamp and sat on the bed.
"I'm okay," Jazmine said, wiping her eyes.
I still love, I still love
I still love, I still love
Isabella heard her sniffle. "You don't sound fine, Que peso Mija?"
Jazmine began to whimper softly.
I get high off your memory
"Ay Dios Mio," she stated, rubbing Jazmine 's back. She must be still upset about Nolan(Lamborghini). The other day, the news confirmed Nolan's death. They didn't recover his body, but they have found fossils of his teeth in a burnt up building.
I get high off your memory
Jazmine already knew the fate of him, but when she heard it in the news it brought her more pain. Fans of Lamborghini mourned for him and the press was desperate to hear how Jazmine felt about it. Jazmine had to remain in the house to hide away from the paparazzi; it was too much to handle. The family of Nolan mourn for him privately, Jazmine wishes she had the bravery to reach out to them, but her guilt held her back from it.
I get high off your memory
Jazmine had sobbed, wiping her snot on the pillow.
In due time, we'll be fine
In due time...
Isabella beamed at her and clapped her hands together.
"That's it, " she hollered. " We're going out!" She stated, dragging Jazmine out of bed.
"But, but, we can't," Jazmine said. " The paparazzi"
"That's why we will disguise ourselves!" She asked.
Jazmine looked at her befuddled. "How?"
Two hours later...
Jazmine and Isabella giggled as they walked into the park complex with Malcolm in the stroller. He had on a panda bear outfit which disguised him perfectly. Meanwhile, Jazmine wore a long black lace front wig with a delicate pink dress. Isabella went with her normal look except she decided to let her hair down and she wore a little bit of makeup.
"You look like a Latina!" Isabella exclaimed. "So stunning, " she remarked.
Jazmine laughed" mismo a ti, madre"
Jazmine said, blushing at her. Isabella loved when she called her mother. It made her feel important and special. Jazmine gasped dramatically.
" Hot dogs!" Jazmine exclaimed, pointing towards the food truck.
"Uhm, I don't know Jazmine. Huey said-"Isabella said.
Jazmine rolled her eyes "Screw what Huey said, " she said obstinately.
"Please, Pretty please can we get just one bite of that grilled dog with melted cheese with sweet reddish and spicy mustard and ketchup! "Jazmine begged, licking her lips hungrily.
"I've been eating healthy for weeks, couldn't I have had one cheat day?"she pleaded. " Por Favor(Please) Bella!" She said, crossing her hands together. She pouted her lips. "Plwease"
Isabella sighed, "Okay, but no spicy mustard for you and we don't mention this to Huey!" She stated.
"Fine by me," Jazmine said with a huge grin on her facial expression.
After they paid for their hot dogs and cheese french fries suggested by Jazmine. They sat on the wooden picnic table to eat and chatter.
"This is so lovely,"Isabella said.
"Mmmhmm," Jazmine said, consuming a large bite of her third hot dog.
Isabella felt guilty that she allowed Jazmine to eat that, but she wanted to cheer her up. Once they were finished, they made sand castles with Malcolm in the sandbox and pushed him on the slides and swings. Pretty soon Malcolm was out of it and sound asleep in the baby stroller. Next, they proceeded to the grocery store to buy dinner.
"So have you spoken to Richard lately?" Jazmine asked.
Isabella breathed deeply and stood. "Not every since I declined his proposal"
Jazmine gasped, "He asked you to marry him?" She squealed excitedly.
"Yeah, but of course I said no, " Isabella said.
Jazmine frowned, "Why?" She inquired.
"I'm not ready for that sort of commitment, besides it's inappropriate. He was my late husband's best friend," Isabella explained.
"I understand, but that was decades ago and you two are evidently in love with each other. I know you feel like you're betraying your first husband, but I'm certain he wouldn't want you to live your life unhappy. Not after everything that you've been through. You deserve to be happy again and if Richard is willing to give you that then you should accept it," Jazmine suggested.
Isabella shook her head though she knew Jazmine was right. "Considerably, you should follow your own advice, " she mentioned. Jazmine shot her a face offended by her remark.
"What?" She frowned.
"You heard me clearly, you need to stop giving Huey a hard time. That man has been trying his hardest to make up for his mistakes and all you do is push him away," Isabella said.
" It's becoming repetitive and it's hard to witness,"Isabella admitted. "You love that man, but you refused to accept that. Instead, you want to continue to torture yourself, ".
Jazmine rolled her eyes. "Whatever," she stated, walking away.
"Whatever? No, you aren't going butt me out this time. You're going to hear me out!" Isabella said, taking hold of her arm.
"What is there to talk about?" Jazmine said, raising her voice.
"The fact that you don't give Huey the credit he deserves,"Isabella protested.
"Credit for what? Hurting me, abandoning me, dismissing me?" Jazmine exclaimed.
"Jazmine, I understand you're still hurting and you've been through so much pain, but you're not the sole one. Huey hasn't dispensed with the same abuse as you, but he suffered as well," she explained.
"His eyes have been unfolded and now he lives with guilt and I always see the look on his face when you give him the cold shoulder. Or when he tells you he loves you and you just look away. He may not express that pain, but I envision it in his eyes, he's suffering too," she explained.
Jazmine scoffed loudly.
Isabella sighs and puts a hand on Jazmine's shoulder. "It doesn't make you weak to forgive. It makes you stronger than others. And I don't expect you to give in right away, but please for the sake of your little girl forgive Huey," Isabella pleaded.
"I will think about it, " she said plainly.
Isabella smiled proudly, " Good girl, " she said, kissing her face.
"I'll get the Spinach," Jazmine said "Watch him for me?" she stated, walking towards the vegetable aisle. Honestly, she was exceedingly annoyed. She had to get away from Isabella's Huey pity party. Jazmine knew she was right, but she was too upset to acknowledge it. She was nevertheless troubled by the fact that Huey decided she didn't matter anymore.
"Jazmine, give Huey a chance! " Jazmine said, mocking Isabella's deep accent. "He loves you, he's trying," Jazmine scoffed. "Trying to avoid me," she mumbled. She was so distracted by her thoughts, she didn't even realize she had knocked into someone. She gasped as she fell along with the guy's groceries, hitting her bottom.
"Oh my gosh!" The guy said in a rich but soft voice. Jazmine growled as she strained to get up, but she kept slipping on the floor.
"Woah, woah, there, " he sounded out.
"Don't hurt yourself, please allow me?" he said, helping her up. As shortly as she stood, he lowered his body to pick up his groceries.
Jazmine didn't even look at him, she simply walked past him, but he followed her and grabbed her arm. "Pardon me miss, I'm sorry about that, " he apologized.
She looked up at him and was almost struck back by his appearance. He was a very charming man with deep dimples, dark silky hair that was neatly swept back with brown eyes.
Unlike most men, he looked well groomed, not a speck of hair on his face. He had on a Calvin Klein light blue sleek sport shirt with some dark polo slim-straight jeans. He delivered a very nice but strong fragrance which made Jazmine want to gag. For some reason, he looked strangely familiar. Why did Jazmine suddenly think she knew everyone?
"Again, I'm so, so, sorry. Oh my gosh! I feel absolutely terrible," he said in a dramatic tone.
"It's o.k, really, "Jazmine said.
"No, it's not okay. Do you need me to get you to the hospital?"He offered.
" Oh no that won't be necessary, thanks anyway, " Jazmine said, rolling over her eyes. Why did everyone think because she was pregnant, she was fragile and the guy let out a sigh touching his brow.
"Phew, I thought I would have to deal with another lawsuit," he said.
Jazmine laughed softly."Oh, you worry too much Buddy, " she stated, patting his shoulder.
"I'm Nathaniel by the way," he stated, extending his hand out to her.
"Jazz-Jacklyn," Jazmine said, nearly blowing her cover. "I'm Jacklyn" She reiterated.
"Nice to meet you, Jacklyn," he said, smiling with his perfectly straight teeth.
"Yeah, you too. Have a good one,"Jazmine said, turning to leave.
"How could I when Nolan's gone," he mumbled. "Have a good one!" He stated, but Jazmine heard him the first time.
"What did you say?" She demanded.
"I said have a good one too, " he reiterated.
"No, before that,"Jazmine said.
He looked at her with a bit of confusion.
"Jazmine," Isabella called out.
His eyes suddenly widened. "Wait Jazmine?" He inquired.
Immediately it was Jazmine's turn to be shocked.
"Not me," Jazmine said, making a run for it, but he hitched up with her and grabbed and turned her around to face him.
"Wait, please," He stated. " Bella!" Jazmine shouted in terror.
"Quiet down!"He said.
Jazmine swung her hand to strike him. "Let go of me!"
"I know Nolan Ross!" He exclaimed. Jazmine paused dramatically...
"What"
" Lamborghini" he stated.
"What!" Jazmine said again.
"Jazmine what's going on?"Isabella said, walking up to them. She saw his hands holding her wrist and went off.
"Alejarse Hijo de puta(Get out! Son of a bitch!) Isabella yelled, charging towards him
"Bella No!"Jazmine said, holding her back.
Then Jazmine turned back to him. "How do you know Nolan Ross?"Jazmine asked suspiciously.
"How do you know Nolan Ross!''Jazmine shouted as a tear drop fell from her face.
The guy's eyes began to tear as well as he opened his mouth to speak. "He's, He's my ex-fiancé"
There's a war inside my head
Sometimes I wish that I was dead,
I'm broken
The instant she opened her eyes, she felt fear. She was hemmed in by white padded walls, on the ceiling was that same plastic ceiling fan. She couldn't move because she was bound in a straitjacket.
She started to panic, kicking her legs and screaming, but no one came to her rescue. No one ever really cared. Her head hurt from all the screaming she had done, her throat was now sore from excessive screaming.
So I call this therapist
And she said, "Girl, you can't be fixed, just take this.
Her face was filled with dried snot, tears, and sweat building up along her forehead. She felt an itch she couldn't scratch.
"Somebody, Please," she wept. "Help me," she sounded out as she fell on her rear.
"Please," she pleaded.
I'm tired of trying to be normal
I'm always over-thinking
I'm driving myself crazy
So what if I'm fucking crazy
She thought about Huey and soon her tears returned. How could those dreadful things about her? She had never spoken wrong of him, did he truly think she was revolting?
"Why, Huey, Why," she shouted, before drifting off to sleep again. Many hours went by and it seemed like days. She hasn't bathed or eaten. She was given medicine and if she was difficult, they would inject something in her arm, then she would fall back to sleep.
And I don't need your quick fix
I don't want your prescriptions
Just 'cause you say I'm crazy
So what if I'm fucking crazy?
Yeah, I'm gonna show you
Jazmine opened her eyes again, this time, it was glum, but she could see a blinking red light. She didn't know exactly what it was. She slanted her head as she sat up and stared at the light, thinking of him again.
Eventually, someone came in. It was the nurse again. She sat near Jazmine, holding a tray of nutrients. " Are you ready to behave now?" She asked.
"Please, I didn't do anything wrong. This is a misunderstanding, I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy. My husband is the crazy one,"Jazmine explained.
The nurse shook her head "It's time for your Medication," she expressed.
" No!"Jazmine shouted, but the nurse took hold of her chin roughly and pinned her down. Jazmine screamed as she forced the pills down her throat.
Jazmine was forced to swallow it. She laid hopelessly and cried.
Loco, maniac, sick bitch, psychopath,
Yeah, I'm gonna show you
I'm gonna show you,
Yeah, I'm gonna show you
"If you continue to misbehave, you will never get out of here,"The nurse warned her. "Sit up so I can feed you!"she demanded.
Jazmine didn't move, she continued to cry and then the nurse took hold of her body and sat her up.
"Now open up," she stated, placing the spoon of mashed potatoes in front of her face. Jazmine shook her head and looked at the nurse furiously.
" I'm not hungry bitch!"
Mental out my brain, bad shit go insane,
Yeah, I'm gonna show you
I'm gonna show you
Yeah, I'm gonna show you
In reaction, the nurse pinched Jazmine's chin and thrust the spoon inside her mouth. The mashed potatoes were watery, but Jazmine decided in her mind that she was going to do what they told her. She didn't like the tactile sensation of being forced, plus she really was hungry.
"Good Girl," the nurse said, feeling Jazmine like a baby.
Once Jazmine was finished, the nurse ran her a glass of water and waited until Jazmine had to use the bathroom. Jazmine was happy to request a bathroom break thinking she would finally get released, unfortunately, the woman removed her pants and placed a bucket under her.
Jazmine felt humiliated to pee in front of the nurse including the recorded camera.
"Good," the nurse said, picking up the bucket of urine.
"Now you'll wait here," she said, leaving Jazmine alone. She wept. She cried silently as she stared at the ceiling.
I've been searching city streets
Trying to find the missing piece like you said
"Where am I?" Jazmine asked as she discovered she was in a small hospital bed.
" You're awake Jazmine," Dr. Steven said.
"Why am I here?"Jazmine asked, touching her head that was starting to pulse with pain.
"Today was your first treatment, you don't remember," he investigated.
Jazmine shook her head.
"Good, now let's talk about Huey Freeman, " he expressed.
And I searched hard only to find,
There's not a single thing that's wrong with my mind
" What?" Jazmine said, confused. " But we have already spoken about him," she said.
"Yes Jazmine, but I want you to tell me again,"Dr. Steven said." It's the only way to get you out of here. "We have to talk more even if it means you have to replicate yourself," he stated.
"But why?' Jazmine asked.
"Because it's part of the treatment. In the parliamentary procedure for us to move on for the future, you must forget the past. Running away from it won't make you forget. Dealing with it will help," He explained.
Jazmine didn't understand, it didn't make sense to her, but since she wanted her freedom. She decided to corroborate.
After Jazmine explained to him the details of Huey and her relationship. It was tough at first, merely after a few more treatments and sessions it changed.
Yeah, I'm tired of tryna be normal
I'm always over-thinking
Driving myself crazy
So what if I'm fucking crazy?
Something happened Jazmine knew deep inside that something wasn't right. Every time she would wake up in the hospital bed after every discussion, she would feel more pain in her head. Sometimes her vision would blur and she would be in so much pain, she would have to postpone her sessions with Dr. Steven.
And I don't need your quick fix
I don't want your prescriptions
Just 'cause you say I'm crazy
So what if I'm fucking crazy?
I'm gonna show you
What scared her the most was every time she would have a session with Dr. Steven, and he would ask her to distinguish the same story of her parents, or Huey, or the abuse, she would forget certain events. It became stressful for her to remember certain things and her story lacked detail.
For more or less reason, Dr. Steven didn't seem to notice that her story would constantly change. He would smile at her and reassure her that it was normal.
Loco, maniac, sick bitch, psychopath,
Jazmine last treatment almost killed her. Dr. Steven already knew this.
Yeah, I'm gonna show you
I'm gonna show you,
Yeah, I'm gonna show you
He started her on the original treatment of electroconvulsive therapy, then after two weeks, he started her with his high-level version of the treatment. The process was performed successfully, however, when Jazmine awakened, she was different.
Mental out my brain, bad shit go insane,
The story of the treatment was so high, it had infected and damaged the medial temporal lobe of her head, which caused her to lose most of her memories. He just expected her to lose memory of her painful memories, which, according to Manuel Lorenzo, Huey freeman was the one to be forgotten.
Yeah, I'm gonna show you
I'm gonna show you
I'm gonna show you
What he didn't know was that Jazmine's whole life was occupied with painful memories, so it erased most painful events of her life, Including the loss of her father, her mother, and the love of her guilty conscience of her betrayal, and most of all, her abusive husband.
Crazy, crazy, yeah I'm gonna show you...
Crazy, crazy, yeah I'm gonna show you...
Crazy, crazy...
Yeah!
.
.
.
"Miss, Can you please tell me your name? Dr. Steven Russell said, as he gazed at the strawberry blonde mulatto, who blinked her eyes in confusion.
"Miss?" He repeated.
"I don't know?" she articulated, as a single tear dropped from her bright green eyes.
"Who am I?" She inquired. asked.
He conveyed a deep breath and pulled out folders of photographs. "Your name is Jazmine Dubois Lorenzo", he said, showing her pictures of herself as a kid, and from her modeling career.
" You're a famous model and actress, married to an Italian man Manuel Salvatore Lorenzo, and he is the love of your life, " he explained, showing her pictures of herself and Manuel, they seemed so happy together. She gazed at the photographs for about 20 minutes, then she spoke again.
"I don't understand, where is my family?" she stated, trying to let everything hang in her mind."You don't have a family, your husband is your only family" he expressed."Don't worry, I will help you cope with this" he foretold.
The following couple of weeks, he spent time helping her discover her identity. He showed her home videos, interviews, films, and more pictures that featured her.
He made certain he left out anything that had Huey Freeman's name on it, and he also decided not to tell her the truth about her parents. He required her to have a fresh start, except it wasn't a fresh start, it was a life full of lies.
Loco, maniac, sick bitch, psychopath
Yeah, I'm gonna show you
I'm gonna show you,
Yeah, I'm gonna show you
Mental out my brain, bad shit go insane,
Yeah, I'm gonna show you
I'm gonna show you
Yeah, I'm gonna show you
"So you're saying we're postponing the College?" One of Huey's employees asked.
"What about the students that are looking forward to attending?"A woman demanded.
"Yeah, we can't hold up a stop sign on their education. There are more than two hundred thousand students, largely African Americans, who are depending on this!" A man argued.
"Not to mention, it's already hard for us African Americans to obtain a degree. Nowadays Colleges are just too expensive. Financial aid may help us pay, but we'll be in debt before we even get a chance to graduate" one argued.
"Imagine being black and in debt," One man said, swaying his head. "Another way for the white man to control us"
Huey sighs in frustration," I understand everyone's disappointment. I'm disappointed myself, but with everything that has gone on and the amount of negative press, this business is receiving. Opening up the college now will only put it at risk,"Huey explained.
"We can't act upon any projects, we have to be low profile awhile. At least until I can get everything situated," Huey said.
"This some old bullshit!" A man yelled, punching his fist on the meeting table.
"Is there a problem Malik?"Huey asked.
Everyone looked at Malik and back at Huey.
"Matter a fact, yeah, I have a problem," he stated, standing up. "I have a problem with the fact that our people have to face the consequences all because you wanted to fulfill your fetish to cheat on Amelia for a gold digging bed wrench mulatto!"he shouted.
Everyone in the room collectively gasped.
Huey jaw tightening, but the man continued to mouth off.
"Yup, I said it! You expect us to pretend this shit not affecting us? I'm going to say what everyone's been whispering about," He said, earning a few glances.
"Since we met your wife. She's been nothing but good to us and we hold nothing but respect for her. It pisses me off that you can allow an intelligent, beautiful black woman to riot in prison for a damn plastic piece of coon ass"
Huey felt his eye twitch and his hands shook.
"Jazmine DuBois has done nothing for the black Community, the only thing that high yellow ass ever did was suck white cock for movie roll-" His sentence was cut short when Huey gripped him by his tie, choking him. Huey was so enraged that Malik could see the veins coming out his forehead. His eyes were dark and demonic and he held a malicious glare.
Huey was fighting with his mind not to break this man's neck but thought about the consequences and Jazmine and the baby. He couldn't take chances going to jail, they needed him, so he let Malik go.
Malik gasped for air and coughed violently.
"Malik, you're dismissed. I'll send your check by mail. As of today, You no longer work for my company and you will be removed immediately from the organization, excluded from any fringe benefits," Huey stated.
"What?" Malik said in shock.
" You're fired!" Huey said. " Now get the hell out of my building!" Huey demanded.
"You can't be serious? I own the rights to be here. I worked my ass off here for three years!" Malik shouted.
"Get him the hell out of here!" Huey demanded security. Immediately they grabbed Malik by both of his arms.
"Come on Huey, look I'm sorry I was out of line, please don't do this. I have a criminal record. It's going to be difficult for me to get another job like this, ''he pleaded.
"That is no longer my problem," Huey said.
"You're gonna regret this Freeman," he cried out before they escorted him out. Everyone at the table sat in shock.
"Anyone else have a problem with my personal life?" Huey asked in a rough tone.
No one made a movement nor did they utter a word. Though They shared the same disappointment as Malik, they weren't going to lose their jobs too. Unlike most companies Huey had a second chance policy which allowed African Americans with a criminal background to be hired. As long as it wasn't for rape and murder, if they were smart and motivated he would give them opportunities.
Huey Freeman wasn't the type to fire someone on the spot. He never had to ever elevate his voice until now."This meeting is over," Huey said, storming out.
His hands were shuddering out of fury as he sped towards his office. He needed to get out before he did something he would later regret. As shortly as he got to his office the first thing he did was punch the wall. He yelled as he knocked everything off his desk. He knew he shouldn't let Malik's words get to him, but he couldn't help it. He couldn't stand when someone bad mouthed Jazmine especially since his discovery.
He had never expressed it to anyone but ever since he Discovered their first baby was aborted, watched the footage of Jazmine's experience in the mental institution, including all of the sessions. He couldn't contain the devastation he felt in his heart. Inside, he felt like he was drowning because he pretended things were okay when it wasn't okay at all. It tore him deeply, especially when he heard the details of the first time Jazmine was raped.
"So what triggered you to leave Woodcrest?"
Jazmine sat up with her arms wrapped around her knees and leaned her head downward.
"When Huey and I split up, I thought about running away because it was so hard. I lost everything and he was all I had left, but for once, I wanted to be strong and a part of me had hoped that Huey would forgive me and take me back," She admitted.
"I scarcely thought he needed more time to get over the pain I caused him, but I was wrong," she stated in a sorrowful voice.
Steven wrote on his notepad, "Go on"
"Time passed and he still wouldn't look at me or talk to me. The only thing he did was support me. He paid the bills and bought anything I needed like food and hygiene products, "She explained.
"So Huey took care of you? That's a great deal for a 16-year-old don't you think?" Dr. Steven stated.
"Yes, I know. When my father died, I wanted to remain home because I just wasn't ready to move on, I wanted to feel closer to him and home reminded me so much of him, but over time, I thought about how hard Huey was working just to make me happy"
" I decided that I wasn't going to be selfish anymore, I was planning to move in with the Freeman's but then we split up. I didn't believe it was a good idea anymore," she explained.
"I understand it was only bad timing, how did everyone else react," Why didn't Ceaser reach out to you?"
"He did reach out to me plenty of times, he called me, but it was embarrassing, I didn't want to say much, I didn't know what to say" she admitted.
"I felt guilty because everyone was throwing him the cold shoulder, but they didn't hate him as much as they hated me, well Huey did that's why he never came by because I was afraid Huey would kill him, he almost did when he discovered that we had slept together,"She explained.
"Did you know Caesar was going to confess? And what do you mean everyone hated you more? "Dr. Steven asked.
"Michael told me one day that he couldn't live with lies anymore and that he suggested that the both of us tell Cindy and Huey together, but I was too afraid,"Jazmine explained.
" And I didn't want people to treat him as badly as they treated me, but I felt like it took two to make one wrong and it just wasn't fair, but in a way, I'm glad he didn't receive the amount of hate,0 She admitted sheepishly. " He's such a marvelous person and I deeply care for him," She stated.
"How did people treat you?"He asked.
"Well, of course, Huey ignored me, Cindy tried to beat me up, but Huey stopped her. Riley would give me a disappointed look, but he never spoke at all. Mr. Freeman was the lone one that spoke to me while everyone else gave me dirty looks,"she said.
"How was dealing with it in school?"he inquired.
"School was much worse. I spent most of my time avoiding confrontation with Cindy. She sent me a text, threatening that if she caught me she would beat me up, so I skipped any classes I shared with her. I ran to my locker when everyone was in class, and at lunch, I ate in the bathroom or I didn't eat at all. I left before 8th period, so she wouldn't catch me after school," Jazmine explained.
"How did the other kids treat you?'
" When I was young, I was bullied for being different, but when I met Cindy I gained confidence and my reputation grew tremendously. Yet, when I betrayed Cindy she had the power to turn everyone against me in school,"she revealed.
"Go on,"
"At first, I dealt with it, but soon it started to become overpowering. The girls would gossip, mock, and laugh at me. The boys would call me names and they would come up to me and ask me if I could have sex with them. Then, if I rejected or ignored them, they would call me a slut. Even the parents were whispering about me, comparing me to Sarah, "Jazmine explained tearfully.
"It was like elementary school all over again but worse and I couldn't catch a break." She sounded out through sons.
"And then I stopped going to school all together"
"So what made you say I'm fed up, it's time to leave!"Dr. Steven asked.
"My encounter with Amelia," Jazmine revealed.
"When did you talk with her?" Steven asked.
"It was brief, it wasn't actually a conversation. It was the night I left, I was carrying the trash out and I spotted her walking towards the Freeman's house. She was wearing a tight short dress with heels, looking like she was heading to the club, she looked incredible"Jazmine said.
"And I looked pitiful and disgusting as always at that time, and I remember thinking wow she is beautiful I never was the insecure type when it came to Huey because he made it clear, I was the only girl for him. But when I witnessed how infatuated he was with her, I lost my confidence and I started to think I wasn't beautiful enough," She revealed.
"So when I saw her at that moment I won't lie I was envious. And she spotted me and the expression on her face when she was heading towards me was unexplained, but for some reason I knew she was up to no good,"Jazmine explained.
"And what exactly did she say to you? "he asked.
"She made a remark about sleeping in Huey's bed, then she acted as if she cared that Huey and I broke up. She basically told me in her own way that she slept with Huey, then made a remark about how the tables reversed. Then she walked away," Jazmine said with a sniffle.
"Was that the last time you saw her?"he inquired.
"No, I have seen her again that same night when I was going away. It was midnight, I saw her standing by Huey's window with his shirt on. She smiled at me and in a flash, I knew that they had definitely slept around,"Jazmine said.
"Did you say anything to her, "he inquired .
"Nope, I just kept walking and didn't look back,"Jazmine explained.
.
What happened when you left, where you travel?
"I was homeless for awhile, then I traveled to Miami" she replied.
"Wow, how did you end up in that location? I recalled you were homeless?"
"I had 200 dollars on me and I didn't spend it because I thought it would be possible to spend it on a hotel, but unfortunately when I sneaked on a tour bus, the driver caught me and took my money then threw me off the bus,"she explained.
"And then what occurred?"
"I ended up working as a waitress and staying at a sleazy motel. I didn't get paid much, the tips were good, but the motel man would take my whole check. I didn't have money for clothes or food. I had to hand wash my dress and steal food from the leftover plates," she explained, cringing at the memory.
"So you were 15 and on your own?" he said, shaking his head.
"I turned 16 at the time, and I didn't get a chance to celebrate my birthday. I just worked and worked,"Jazmine explained.
"How did you meet Manuel?"he inquired.
"I encountered him at the strip club,"Jazmine stated.
"Wait, I thought you were a waitress?"He disturbed her.
" I was at first , but then, I got terminated for stealing food. So I ended up going to a strip club called Daddy's Girls. It was cheesy looking and dingy, but I managed" Jazmine explained.
"How in the world did a sixteen year old get hired as a stripper?"
Suddenly Jazmine grew silent,
"Jazmine"
Her eyes watered again.
"Jazmine,"
She started breathing faster and heavier. Dr. Steven waited for her to bring herself together.
"Are You okay Jazmine? " He asked in a worried tone.
"He was a heavily built man of Indian descent. He was dark skinned and had holes in his face. He called himself Big Daddy,"Jazmine confirmed.
Dr. Steven waited for her to continue, he knew this must have been hard for her to talk about.
"He asked me how old I was and I told him. Then he instructed me to turn around and I did as I was told, "She said, taking a heavy breath.
" He pulled up my skirt and whistled at me. I remember feeling humiliated that I allowed him to do that. And so I turned around and he requested for me to lift up my shirt so he could see my breast. I felt violated as he took hold of my breast and squeezed them roughly. When he eventually removed his hands, he told me I would be hired only if I perform a lap dance with him" she revealed.
"Go on"
"I immediately rejected his offer so he got upset and dragged me out of the club. I was desperate and I thought to myself, it's only a lap dance. And I needed the money or I would be homeless again, hence, I said yes,"she stated.
"What happened next, you danced for him and was hired?"
"I dance for him. I felt like a complete moron and a slut. I never liked dancing sexy in front of people, but Cindy and Huey. He kept touching me, and I held back telling myself not to worry, it will be over soon just kept going. Finally, it was over and he cheered and told me I was going to be his special one because I'm young and graceful. And so he named me Emerald and told me I can start immediately, "Jazmine revealed.
"I thanked him and made my way to the doorway, but he grabbed me and showed me his penis and said, "who's going to help me with this?" Jazmine said in a broken voice.
Dr. Steven sat up, he immediately knew what had happened. "What did he do?"he queried, feeling his own heart beat.
"He...He... he" Jazmine tried, but she continued.
" I said no I want to go home, but he wouldn't allow me to leave, he just kept touching me" she whimpered. "I attempted to run towards his office window, hoping I could escape, but he pulled me by my hair and slammed me on the ground. Then he handcuffed me, " she disclosed.
"At that moment how did you feel?"he inquired.
"I was petrified. I recognized what he was going to do to me. I was so freaking scared. I kept shivering and crying and he hadn't even touched me yet. I cried when he ripped my panties, I never felt so much pain.
"Sex with Huey was gentle, even when he was rough he handled me with care. But when the man thrust himself inside me, I felt a burning sensation and it just kept burning and it wouldn't stop."she whimpered out.
" And he went on hurting me, taunting me as he forced himself on me. It was so atrocious, I couldn't scream . I was in so much pain, plus he was hitting me and making threats in my ear. I thought I was going to die, the burn was getting hotter and hotter. I felt like I was dying, "she explained.
"I can't do this," She said, standing up as she sobbed. "It's too much, I don't want to speak about it anymore," Jazmine said.
"Alright Jazmine, We don't have to talk about anymore" Dr. Steven "Please stay, you can't keep running from your problems. It's time to face Jazmine " he said, passing her a box of tissues.
Jazmine grabbed a handful of tissues and wiped her face as she cried more. And so she sat down slowly.
"Okay, " she stated. "Okay, " she echoed.
Dr. Steven waited for Jazmine to regain her composure. And so he offered her a cup of water. He extended the session by asking her questions regarding her husband, from the time they met and from the time they got engaged. Then she talked about the abuse. How he forced her to get surgery on her vagina. She admitted to associating herself with drugs and getting addicted to popping pills that Manuel provided here.
Then Jazmine spoke of the time when her husband would force himself on her" She stated.
"When he was inside me, I thought about when the first rape. My thoughts were about Huey, wishing he could save me. My father, hoping he wasn't watching me see his worst fears.
After that, I lost hope in God Because I didn't understand why would God allow me to go through so much pain, why wouldn't he just let me die? Why must I suffer like this?"Jazmine explained.
"If your father could see you, how do you suppose he would feel about what you've become?"Steven asked.
"He would be disappointed, disgusted, and devastated. He would feel like a failure because he always wanted me to get to college and get a degree. He desired me to have values and self-respect. If he saw me now, he would hate me. He would hate what I've become," she said, feeling her own heartbreak.
.
At that moment, Huey was in tears. He couldn't control himself any longer. It was too much to consume. He had no idea Jazmine was homeless while carrying their baby. He didn't know that Jazmine was raped when she was a teenager. It angered him because he wasn't there to protect her. He was supposed to be there instead he scared her off.
He blamed himself for everything that's the true reason he had been avoiding Jazmine. He didn't know how to face her anymore. Not after finding out about the abortion, rape, and torment. He felt horrible and the guilt was eating him up. It was making him feel more and more like a monster.He drank a glass of cold water to illuminate his thoughts. Presently it went back to Malik's reaction to him postponing the project. Malik was right about one thing, it wasn't fair for the people on the waiting list, but he had no choice. Ever since Amelia has been arrested the media won't leave him alone.In fact, everywhere he goes, there were paparazzi asking questions around his affair with Jazmine and about Amelia's attempt to have her killed. All of this press was not safe for a business that's why he had to postpone all of his projects. He didn't like the idea, but what else could he do?
Another reason for his decision to out his projects on hold was because Jazmine's pregnancy was getting closer and he had to be prepared. He finally found a home for them and he was getting everything furnished and painted. He wanted to surprise her, that's what he's been spending his late nights on.
That and the wrongful treatment lawsuit he was preparing against Dr. Steven and the whole staff. He wasn't doing it for the money, only the money that this case earned will be for Jazmine only. He had already opened a savings account for her. The only thing he desired from this case was to see Dr. Steven Russell behind bars.
"Amelia Freeman, your attorney is here!" The officer announced as he opened her cell. He guided her to the phone booth where Claudia sat patiently.
She smiled at Amelia as she lifted the telephone from the hook and placed it on her ear.
" Good Afternoon Amelia, I love what you've done with your hair," she said, referring to the cornrows in Amelia's head.
Amelia rolled her eyes " So what's up?" She asked impatiently.
" How are you doing?" Claudia asked.
"I never felt better," Amelia said plainly.
Claudia cleared her throat nervously.
" Okay Amelia since we failed to come up with your bail money, I believed it would be best to discuss your trial," she stated.
"We didn't fail, you did! " Amelia accused.
Claudia sighs " Okay, so your trial date is on September 25th at 1:00 pm," She explained then she gave Amelia a serious expression.
"I hate to be the one to tell you this, but your mother considered the plea. She pleaded guilty to conspiracy and they already sentenced her two years, " Claudia explained.
"Two years? Does this mean if I plead guilty I'll receive the same sentence?" Amelia asked with a smile.
"Unfortunately, Amber only received that sentence because she told the police that it was all your idea and that she simply went along with it because she wanted to make up for being a bad mother," Claudia mentioned.
"What! That's a goddamn lie!" Amelia shouted. " It was all her idea. She's the one that made arrangements for me to meet him!" Amelia exclaimed.
"I can't with that bitch!" She said, thumping her fist on the booth.
"So what the hell do I do now?" Amelia asked. " Do I plead guilty or do I fight this?"she asked.
" Amelia, honestly, if you fight this and you won't win, you will get an extended sentence," she explained. " And from the look of things, we're aren't winning this case,"she warned.
Amelia blew out her breath and chuckled. " How long is my estimated sentence?"
"Because of the evidence and the confession from Amber. If you're found Guilty of all crimes, You're facing 12 to 15 years for second-degree conspiracy, violation, and battery," Claudia explained.
"12 to 15 years!" Amelia exclaimed. "That's ridiculous, the bitch isn't even dead, " she shouted.
"I know, but they're charging you for both victims. Jazmine and her unborn child," She explained.
Amelia felt her tears rushing down. "What do I do?" She cried, rubbing her face.
"There's one thing you can do," Claudia said. "Plead insanity. I already spoke with a doctor about it. During the time you committed the crime you were going through postpartum depression. With all of the stress with your husband, infidelity and childbirth it's possible for you to endure through a mental state of mind." Claudia suggested.
"Wait, If I plead insanity, how long will my punishment be?" Amelia asked.
"If you are ruled insane, instead of prison you will be committed to an institution home with the maximum of 5 to 8 years with good behavior you could get out earlier," Claudia explained.
"All you have to do is prove that you weren't in the right state of mind when you made that decision. That you were depressed. It would help if you say you had suicidal thoughts," Claudia said.
"Basically like Jazmine," Amelia said.
"Sort of but it could definitely work,"Claudia said. "So what do you say?"
"I don't know, I have to think about it" Amelia stated"Well, I'll give you until the end of this week,"
"You have to get the plea before your trial so we can start setting you up with a psychologist" Claudia advised.
Amelia nodded her head in deciding.
"Alright, I will do it, " she said, Claudia breathed in relief.
"Great, I'll get everything set up" she expressed.
"Are you certain this is a wise decision?" Amelia asked, unsure of herself.
"I'm positively sure," Claudia said. "By the way, there someone here to see you,"
Amelia's eyes widened with hope. "My husband?"
"No, but a young woman named Destiny Hopkins here?"She asked.
Amelia smiled, "Oh, That's my girlfriend Denise,"
"Ok, I'm going to go get her now. I'll see you next weekend," Claudia said before departing. Amelia bit down on her lip nervously as she spotted Denise walking towards her. Amelia felt chills at the hardcore face expression she was caving in her as she plucked up the phone.
"Denise!"Amelia exclaimed.
"Amelia," she stated coldly.
"Listen, Denise, I just want to say I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you, "Amelia said.
"I don't want to hear it,"Denise hissed. "I just came here to say one thing." She said,
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye my love
I can't hide, can't hide, can't hide what has come
"You and I are no longer friends, so don't contact me, don't mention my name, and when you come out, I don't want to ever see your face again,"Denise stated.
"Please hear me out!"Amelia begged.
I have to go
I have to go
I have to go
And leave you alone
"I heard you out!"Denise shouted. "And every time I did, you lied, lied, and lied! How could you do me like that? How could you do that to your own son?"Denise shouted.
"Please, "Amelia said, sobbing heavily.
"No! Amelia, you burnt your bridges with me so anything you say doesn't matter anymore,"Denise said painfully.
But always know
Always know
Always know that I love you so
I love you so
I love you so, oh
"I need to know why?" She demanded. "Why did you do it?'
"I, I don't know. I was, I blacked out,"Amelia stated. "You know Huey hurt me, I just had his child and he still fucks that bitch! I don't know what I was thinking, but I thought if I could just get rid of her. Everything would get better," she explained.
Denise shook her head sadly. "First of all, you know I still dislike that whore and I will never condone their relationship, nor will I respect it," She explained. "But it doesn't alter the fact that you tried to murder someone then you stood there and lied to my face!"Denise shouted.
Goodbye brown eyes
Goodbye for now
Goodbye sunshine
Take care of yourself
"I can't forgive you for that, I'm sorry Amelia, but this will be my final visit," Denise said, dropping the phone.
I have to go
I have to go
I have to go
And leave you alone
"Denise, don't go!"Amelia cried out. "Please, you're my best friend, my only friend!" She sobbed, but Denise only cried, running away without turning back.
But always know
Always know
Always know that I love you so
I love you so, oh
I love you so, oh
"Oh, Daniel! you're so crazy," Jazmine said, giggling uncontrollably on the phone.
It turned out that the guy she met at the grocery store was Nolan's former fiancée. Jazmine remembers him mentioning Daniel a lot, but she never received a chance to actually meet him because they broke up. According to Nathaniel aka Daniel, he and Nolan broke up due to the fact that he wanted Daniel to make their relationship public, but at the time, Daniel didn't come out the closet and wasn't ready, so they got into a heated argument and split up.
Daniel explained to Jazmine that he was crazily in love with Nolan and was absolutely devastated when Nolan wouldn't return his calls. He was more devastated when he learned his death.
"I didn't get to tell him I love him. I didn't get to say goodbye," Daniel sobbed over the telephone.
Jazmine had tears and her eyes as they both express their feelings about Nolan's death. They laughed as they each shared stories involving him. Jazmine felt so good. She knows she just met Daniel, but she enjoyed their conversations because it made her feel closer to Nolan.
"Jazmine, I just need to know one thing did he suffer?" He asked desperately.
Jazmine paused as another tear shed. " Oh, No, he died instantly. He didn't feel any pain," Jazmine lied.
Daniel sighs in relief " That makes me feel so much better," he proclaimed.
"Yeah, well, I have to call you tomorrow. I'm going to take Malcolm a bath. See you on our lunch date Saturday," Jazmine said.
Isabella arched her brow suspiciously as Jazmine hung up the telephone. "Lunch date?" She said, crossing her arms.
"Awwww, it's not like that bell. Nathaniel is gay," She sounded out with laughter.
"That's not my point! you don't know this man," Isabella shouted.
"Well, that's why we're going on a lunch date to get to know each other, duh Bella!" Jazmine said.
"I don't trust him," Isabella said.
"You don't trust anyone" Jazmine, said, rolling her eyes.
"And I'm always right when I don't. We should get Huey to find out more about him,"She suggested.
"No, no, no!"Jazmine exclaimed, running towards Isabella. "You cannot tell bodyguard Huey about this. He will only scare Daniel away!" Jazmine warned.
"Well, then that's too bad because I'm telling him anyway," Isabella protested.
Jazmine gasped dramatically, " you won't!"
Isabella gasped, "I will!"
"Please Bella, this is the last thing I have to be closer to Nolan. I can't deal with my pain alone. I need to know more about Daniel so I can learn more about Nolan. I promise I'll tell Huey, but not now, please," Jazmine pleaded with tears.
Isabella rolled her eyes," Fine, but under one condition, " she stated.
"Anything you mention it," Jazmine said.
"You let me sign you and Huey for that art and crafts childbirth class," she advised.
Jazmine frowned, she didn't want to go to that dreadful class, but she desired to learn more about Daniel.
" Okay, you have a deal, " she mumbled, giving in.
Isabella smiled widely and clapped her hands together. "Perfecto, now I'm going to schedule you two tomorrow morning! " She said excitedly.
" Oh, this is sounding to be fun, " she beamed. Jazmine rolled her eyes at the woman and took hold of Malcolm.
It was his bath time.
Was good on my own,
that's the way it was,
that's the way it was
You was good on the low for a faded fuck,
on some faded love
After long hours of work and setting up the surprise for Jazmine he finally managed to complete it. He couldn't wait. He was going to surprise her in the morning, but first Huey returned home.
Shit, what the fuck you complaining for?
Feeling jaded huh?
Used to trip off that shit I was kickin' to you
Had some fun on the run though I give it to you
When he finally got home, everyone was sleeping. Hence, he believed until he spotted Jazmine in the kitchen cleaning the counters. Being the overprotective father to be, he rushed over to Jazmine and pulled her by her waist.
But baby, don't get it twisted
You was just another nigga on the hit list
Tryna fix your inner issues with a bad bitch
"Jazmine you know you aren't supposed to be cleaning," He said sternly. "Do you recognize how much effect these chemicals can put on the baby?"
As always Jazmine rolled her eyes and pulled him off.
Didn't they tell you that I was a savage
Fuck your white horse and a carriage
"I was just wiping the counters. I see you finally made your way back," Jazmine said walking off.
Huey grabbed her wrist and turned her to face him. "I'm sorry, I haven't been spending time with you, " he said softly.
Bet you never could imagine
Never told you could have it
"It's fine, I didn't care anyway,"Jazmine said, turning away.
"Come on, Jazmine. Please don't be like that"Huey said following her.
You needed me
Oooh, you needed me
"I really missed you, " he said, wrapping his arms around her from behind. Jazmine was too tired to pull away so she stood there and groaned.
Feel a little more, and give a little less
Know you hate to confess
But baby who, you needed me
"Huey, enough!" She said faintly as she felt him kissing her temple. Oh, how she loved that feeling, she didn't want him to hold her either.
"Stop!" She screamed and immediately he pulled away.
You needed me
Oooh, you needed me
"Sorry, I got carried away," Huey said, rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment.
"Oh, You think?"Jazmine said, placing her hands on her hips.
Feel a little more, and give a little less
Know you hate to confess.
"So how was your day?" He asked, attempting to change the topic. Jazmine begins to babble about her day, leaving out the part where she met Nathaniel. She was about to tell him about the Arts & Crafts childbirth class that Bella signed them up for, but then she felt a huge charley horse traveling from her legs to feet, causing her to wail in pain.
Huey being Huey lifted her from her feet and carried her to the sofa where he covered her with warm blankets as he gently rubbed her small swollen feet.
But baby, don't get it twisted
You was just another nigga on the hit list
Tryna fix your inner issues with a bad bitch.
"Does this feel better?"He asked, massaging her foot delicately.
"Oooh yeah, much better,"Jazmine said breathlessly.
"I told you, stop wearing those damn heels," He scolded her.
"But, But, they're Versace" Jazmine whined, pouting her puffy lips.
"I don't care what brand of shoes they are. If I catch you wearing them again, I'm throwing them away," he warned.
"Noooo, not my Versaceeeee," She squeaked.
Didn't they tell you that I was a savage
Fuck your white horse and a carriage
Bet you never could imagine
Never told you could have it
Huey's hands felt like magic as he rubbed her feet, ankles, calves, and legs. Jazmine moaned softly and closed her eyes. She then asked Huey about his day, and he enjoined her, leaving out the part when Malik said those things about her. The idea of it made him want to brutally beat him for disrespecting her.
"It was ok, I thought about you the whole time," he said.
"Mmm-hmm" Was all Jazmine said.
"I'm serious Jazmine. I've been working on our house and I'm bringing you tomorrow to go see it, ''he revealed. " I have a surprise for you. You'll love it," He said, kissing her foot tenderly.
"You heard me Jazmine?" Huey asked, looking up at Jazmine who was sound asleep. He chuckled softly and laid her on her side. He was leaning over to kiss her forehead when his phone rang.
Who the hell could be ringing after midnight?He looked at his screen, it was Denzel Wallace, his attorney.
"Wallace, Why are you calling this late? It better be important," Huey said firmly.
"My apologies, my brother, but this is really urgent. It's about the case!" He said seriously.
"What about the case? Did you find out any more information on Dr. Steven?" Huey whispered, walking away so Jazmine won't hear.
"Unfortunately, Yes," He said, clearing his throat.
"That doesn't sound unfortunate to me. What the hell do you mean?" Huey asked.
"Huey, Dr. Steven Russell was found dead in his house along with his wife. They were stabbed, and shot to death," He revealed.
"What?" Huey said in disbelief.
"There were no signs of forced entry or suspects," He said. " I'm sorry, but without a confession from Dr. Steven they won't take this case seriously, "He explained.
" Dammit!" Huey cursed, hitting the counter.
"Freeman, this doesn't imply that we should give up. We can however still sue the institution for the wrongful treatment,"He offered. "We still have footage of them mistreating her," he explained.
"Discuss it with me on Monday, Good night Wallace," Huey said, before hanging up.
Huey served himself a glass of Hennessy and sat down below Jazmine. He peeked at the pregnant sleeping beauty. She looked so peaceful.
He rubbed his face in a stressful way. All he really wanted was Justice for Jazmine. He wanted to face Dr. Steven himself. He wanted to look in the eyes of the man that manipulated, used, and caused Jazmine pain. He wanted to watch him suffer in prison, but now he couldn't because Dr. Steven was dead and gone. This was something he truly needed to be able to forgive himself for all that has happened to Jazmine and As always, he let her down.
Damn.
