"Jazmine, keep it together!"
She opened her eyes to see Dr. Conner giving her a promising look. She was panting while pushing Jazmine on the surgery cart along with two other physicians.
It's a beautiful state we're in
But how can we love in isolation
She couldn't speak because she had a breathing mask on and she couldn't feel the pain of labor, due to the epidural in her system from the IV fluids.
"You're going to be fine Jazmine," Dr. Conner told her, but she couldn't quite hear her.
Think how happy we can be
"The baby will be fine," Dr. Conner said and Jazmine heard clearly. "She's on her way! You will see her soon." A drowsy smile spread over her face because she heard the wonderful news of her life.
If we just try
Her baby was going to be okay and finally, she was going to meet her little girl.
Huey waited in the hall along with Isabella, who surprisingly remained silent the whole time. Maybe she's in shock? Huey tapped his foot impatiently as he chafed his temples. The doctor asked him to wait until they run tests and monitor Jazmine's contractions. They informed him that he couldn't come inside until they knew for certain it was safe. Since Jazmine was pre-laboring the delivery was at high risk and her stress levels were above average, causing the baby more distress.
He and Jazmine were aware of the c-section requirement, but they didn't expect her water to break so soon neither did Dr. Conner. Huey stood up and paced back and forth. He couldn't sit through this any longer, he needed to know that Jazmine and the baby would make it. He kept asking the nurses and doctors that walked past to give him answers and when he didn't get an answer, he would yell at them. He didn't intend to be such a hot head, but he was baffled.
After what seemed like hours of waiting, Dr. Conner came out with a wide smile on her face.
We're nothing like we seem
"Huey"
Huey rushed towards the doctor.
"Is she okay!"He exclaimed. "Can I see her?" he said at a quick pace. Dr. Conner laughed softly and nodded.
Passionate words are never spoken
"Well, of course you can see her. She will be ready to deliver the baby very soon," she announced. While they were walking towards the delivery room, Dr. Conner explained. "I didn't mention this to Jazmine yet, but because the baby is 35 weeks, she's going through what we call a preterm. This means the baby is a lot smaller than a premature baby and she isn't fully matured," she stated.
" Will the baby make it? "Huey asked.
"Unfortunately, there is a high risk and if she does, she may have health problems in the future. Moreover, I am certain that everything will be alright. I have one of the best teams working with me, and I need you and Isabella to help keep Jazmine as calm as possible, " she explained. Huey nodded his head in understanding.
Isabella, who was walking behind, nodded her head as well. "How is Jazmine doing?" she asked.
You don't know how I bleed
When I leave your side
"She's very calm, yet lethargic, but she won't start unless you two are by her side," Dr. Conner said with a smile.
"She said that?" Huey asked in incredulity.
"Her own words"
Huey felt relieved, but he soon became alarmed when he went into the delivery room. Jazmine was lying on the hospital bed as she was surrounded by five physicians. He felt his heart mimicking the heart monitor that was beeping away, showing Jazmine's and the baby's heartbeat. They were slightly elevated, but strong.
"Huey," she whispered faintly. Huey rushed by her side and took her hand. "I'm here baby and I'm not going anywhere," he said, closing his eyes as he kissed her hand delicately.
Her eyes widened a bit. "Where's Isabella?"she asked.
"I'm right here" Isabella said, smiling tearfully, taking Jazmine's other hand.
Jazmine looked at Isabella and said, " Are you alright?" she asked with a worried tone.
"I'm fine," she said gently. "Are you okay?" she said, looking into Jazmine's drowsy eyes.
"I'm scared, " Jazmine admitted, squeezing Isabella and his hand.
As the minutes progressed, Jazmine's mood began to shift. She let go of his hand and focused her attention on Isabella. It was as though he wasn't in the room. He watched the way they interacted, he couldn't help feeling envious of Isabella. He wanted to be the one who comforted her as she panicked.
"Oh, I wish I would have brought the camera," Jazmine said, remembering something.
"You mean this one?" said Isabella, holding the camera for her to see. Jazmine smiled in response. She couldn't believe she almost lost someone as amazing as Isabella.
"All right, people, it's time to have this baby. Jazmine, are you ready? "Conner inquired."
She nodded slowly, her lips quivered and she shuddered. While they were proceeding, Jazmine raised her eyes to the lights, it frightened her. She couldn't resist thinking about the wrong things that could happen. What if her baby doesn't make it?
"Everything is going to work out, Mija, just wait and see," said Isabella.
But Jazmine didn't think so. After everything that has happened, how come the baby is coming so soon.
"She's right, Jazmine, everything will be okay," Huey said, attempting to calm her.
"Shut up Freeman! No one wants to hear from you," she snapped, yanking her hand over from his.
"I'm here, what else do you want me to do?" Huey asked, he was caught off guard by her sudden mood change, but he really didn't want to fight with her, not now.
"Why don't you go to hell," Jazmine shouted.
"Jazmine, if you two are going to argue, then I have to ask Huey to leave. I cannot have him here if he is upsetting you", Dr. Conner immediately warned her.
Jazmine threw a couple more insults his way, trying to get him kicked out, but he didn't take the bait. She calmed down again and looked up at the lights, still holding Isabella's hand.
In your eyes
"Thank you Jazmine," Huey said after some time.
"For what? She arched her brow.
"For Being the mother of my child." He said, smiling at her.
Love's alive
Jazmine felt her heart collapse. She couldn't believe she was having a baby with the man she always wanted. Whatever the situation between them, she could not deny that he was the love of her life.
You've come untied
She always loved him and still after all this time, she still loves him. Her eyes started glistening with tears as she stared at him.
Cause we're flashing by
Like satellites
She could see his eyes were beginning to shine, but he held them back. She didn't know how to respond to him. She looked at Isabella with pleading eyes.
Satellites
She gave her a pleasing look. She immediately thought of her words when she said, You're falling for him again.
Take all the rules away
How can we live if we don't change?
We're always on display
"Okay, brace yourself everyone. She's ready to come out now" Connor announced. Everyone held their breaths. This was the moment they were waiting for.
Let's run and hide
In our eyes
Love's alive
Huey watched in awe as they pulled his baby out. They patted her bottom gently, which made her let out a loud cry.
We've come untied
'Cause we're flashing by
Like satellites
Satellites
Jazmine wept joyfully, hearing her baby for the first time.
"Tell Mommy hello!" " Dr. Conner said, raising the baby up so Jazmine could see.
Jazmine reached out her arms, crying harder with the largest smile on her face.
Satellites
"Okay Dada, do you want to do the honors?" Dr. Conner asked, referring to Huey.
Huey nodded and cut the umbilical cord with precaution. He observed protecting his baby with his eyes as they cleaned her and wrapped her in a tight blanket. A nurse gave the baby to Huey.
"Jazmine should go first."
Jazmine watched Huey amazed by his actions.
If we don't communicate
We'll exist in our own space
"She did all the work," he said as he stared at her proudly.
We have all the love we need
While we're apart I cannot breathe
The nurse gave the baby to Jazmine. "Hi baby," she was sobbing, holding his daughter for the first time. Isabella didn't waste any moment as she took pictures.
Jazmine was panting, "Oh my God, you're so beautiful," she said, weeping. Huey remained still while Isabella and Jazmine worshiped the baby. His body wanted to move, but his legs wouldn't.
Let's run and hide
In our eyes
Love's alive
"Huey, come look at her!" said Jazmine with excitement. Huey's heart pounded as he walked slowly towards Jazmine. He leaned over, took off his mask, and gazed at his daughter for the first time. She was so bright and tiny. She reminded him of a little angel.
We've come untied
'Cause we're flashing by
Like satellites
Satellites
"She is... she is," he said, astonished at the beauty of her. She had Jazmine's features from head to toe. Her tiny head was covered with soft strawberry blonde curls. Her skin was very bright, but her ears were darker, indicating that she would have a much more bronzed complexion. It was her eyes that he could not see because Dr. Conner had informed them that he would not open until weeks later, but he assumed it was as green as Jazmine's.
"Would you like to hold her?"Jazmine asked.
Huey nodded his head as he never kept his eyes off the baby, his baby.
You think I'd leave your side, baby
"It's alright Huey," Jazmine said softly, handing the baby to Him. He sat and stared at his baby. His nerves were shaken, but when he was holding his baby for the first time, his heart felt warm and complete.
"Hello Princess," he said gently. "Daddy's here, " he said, holding her closer, but careful not to harm her. The moment she heard his voice, the unexpected occurred. She opened her eyes and rather than green, they were reddish brown like wine.
She has his eyes.
You know me better than that
All the doubts he couldn't help to feel before had vanished because the moment he saw those beautiful maroon eyes, he knew without a doubt,
She was his.
You think I'd leave you down
When you're down on your knees
"Huey?" Jazmine asked, looking at him with concern.
"She has my eyes," He said as tears formed in his eyes. Jazmine looked at her baby with her eyes shut as before.
I wouldn't do that
"How did you..." Jazmine asked with confusion. Huey explained to her what had happened. He was smiling with tears pouring down his face. Jazmine asked everyone to leave the room for a moment of privacy. Everybody left the room, leaving Jazmine, Huey and their child.
Jazmine felt her own tears flowing that she had never seen Huey like that, he cried before but never out of happiness.
I'll tell you you're right when you want
"Huey, are you okay?"Jazmine asked in concern.
Huey looked upon her with great emotion. "For the first time in my life, everything is perfect." His voice cracked as he spoke.
And if only you could see into me
" She's perfect, " Huey expressed. Jazmine smiled faintly.
Oh, when you're cold
"Oh Huey" she held her hand on her chest.
I'll be there
She was so moved by the moment that she didn't want it to be over. She allowed him to have his moment, then she politely asked him if she could see her again.
Hold you tight to me
Huey passed the baby over to her and scooted his chair beside her. The two of them shared a moment, watching their baby.
When you're on the outside, baby
And you can't get in
"I wish I could have seen her eyes," Jazmine said sadly.
"You will get a chance," He said, stroking her hair.
I will show you
You're so much better than you know
They spoke to their baby and praised her. Huey realized something, they haven't thought of a name.
When you're lost and you're alone
And you can't get back again
I will find you
"Jazmine, she hasn't been named yet?" Huey mentioned.
"Oh, my God!" I completely forgot! "Jazmine exclaimed, "Oh, I'm already a terrible mother, " she started to cry.
"Jazmine, calm down, we will figure out a name together" Huey suggested. As they are guessing names, they could not find a name they could agree on. Jazmine thought about someone special to her, Lamborghini and that's when it hit her.
Darling, and I will bring you home
"Huey! " Jazmine gasped with excitement.
"How about Nola?"she asked, biting her lip.
He frowned a little "Nola?"
"Yeah, after Nolan, it would mean a lot," She explained.
And if you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes
And in no time, you'll be fine
"It would be a wonderful way to pay homage to him," Jazmine said with a smile. Huey looked as if he was in deep thought.
"Huey?" Jazmine raised her brow. Just before either can say another word, the door flew open.
"I hate to interrupt, but Dr. Conner said it's time for surgery," a nurse said, urgently, "Is everything all right? She inquired with concern.
"Yes, we're just still deciding on what to name her"Jazmine mentioned, still looking at Huey. Awaiting his response.
"Well... What do you have in mind?"
She asked anxiously.
Huey remembered her friend who died. Nolan Ross aka Lamborghini basically sacrificed his life so their daughter could enter into this world.
Oh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
Nola.
The more he looked at her the more he liked the name, but it wasn't until he said it out loud when she opened her eyes slightly then she closed them again.
Oh, when you're low
Jazmine gasped dramatically. "Oh, my goodness!" Huey, did you see that? Her eyes were open! "Jazmine exclaimed, tearing up again.
I'll be there
By your side, baby
"Huey, she has your eyes!" she cried, wiping a tear out of the corner of her eyes.
"I told you," he said proudly, kissing her cheek.
The nurse observed the whole scene with her hand on her chest.
Oh, when you're cold
I'll be there
"Wow, this has never happened before," she said, astonished at what she had seen.
"She must really like that name," the nurse said with a wink.
Jazmine looked at Huey "What do you think Huey?"she asked. She really liked that name, but she wanted Huey to like it, too.
Hold you tight to me
"I think her name is Nola, "He said with a smile. Jazmine looked at him with incredulity.
"'Huey, are you certain? 'Because we can always change—"
"No, it suits her, " he said, looking at their beautiful child.
Oh, when you're low
I'll be there
By your side, baby
Another moment was ruined when Dr Connor walked in with her team.
"Jazmine, it's time to close you up". Dr. Conner said, putting on her gloves. "My God," she exclaimed, looking more closely at Nola. "She's as beautiful as an angel," said Dr. Conner, admiring her.
"Have you chosen a name yet?" she asked, holding her hands up.
Huey smiles while proudly saying:
"Nola Freeman."
Oh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
Oh, when you're low
I'll be there
By your side, baby
Oh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
Oh, when you're low
I'll be there
By your side, baby
The nurse smiled as she reached for the baby.
"What a beautiful name for a beautiful baby, " Dr Conner said,
"Welcome into the world, Nola Freeman."
After that day, Jazmine and the baby were kept in the hospital for a few weeks. Once Jazmine finished her first surgical procedure, it was mandatory for her to get two more that was her birth canal and Labiaplasty. It was also important that their baby remained monitored by machines so that she could receive the fluids she still needed to help her develop.
Huey never left their side, as a matter of fact, he spent days and nights at the hospital while Isabella stayed home with Malcolm. Huey kept his eyes on the birth certificate that read, Nola Mireille Freeman. Isabella came up with the french, middle name because she said it meant miracle, and Nola was definitely a miracle baby.
The weeks went by quickly and finally Huey was able to bring Jazmine and the baby home. They supplied them with Nola's respirator and Jazmine's wheelchair. Jazmine had to stay off her feet until her body healed from the surgeries.
They finally made it home, and as soon as they opened that door,
"Surprise!"
A group of friends of Isabella's, Dr. Connor Mrs. Brown, and even Otis. Friends of Jazmine and Huey, among them Natalia and Nathaniel. They applauded, taking them by surprise.
The house was decorated magnificently with a banner that said "It's a girl!". They sat Jazmine on a chair that was adorned with ribbons and sequins. Jazmine was overwhelmed, but she appreciated the love that was given.
Huey was bothered by the noise and the number of people who were in his home. When they hovered over his baby, he told them to give her space and demanded that each person wash and sterilize their hands before touching his daughter.
"Oh, lighten up Huey," said Isabella, who held a cake with the picture of the painting Huey made on Jazmine's belly. It was beautiful and although Huey was a grouch at first, they all appreciated it. Even he and Riley had a chance to speak and so did he and Ceaser. Though there was still tension between them.
Despite that,
Things were finally turning around.
A few weeks later...
Jazmine was breastfeeding Nola while Isabella held Malcolm, who was crying as he reached out for Jazmine.
"Looks like someone has a case of the green-eyed-monster," jokes Isabella as Malcolm scrambles, rolling to his knees to free himself.
Jazmine gave him a pout, "Oh, not now. Mommy has to feed your sister, Jazmine said in a gentle tone. She shifted as she positioned Nola so she was comfortable.
Malcolm cried harder when Isabella began cradling him.
"Malcolm, please," Jazmine pleaded, but Malcolm continued to cry.
Isabella stood up "I'm going to try to put him to sleep"
"No, bring him here, please,"Jazmine said, patting the seat.
"But Jazmine, you must feed Nola," Isabella advised.
Jazmine shook her head. "No, please let me. I can do it simultaneously." She advised politely. "Just lay him down. I'm going to put him to sleep,"
Isabella sighed "Okay, Okay" she said, laying him beside Jazmine.
"Mommy's here"Jazmine said as she rubbed his back smoothly. Malcolm cooled off, but he was still crying.
"Mommy's here"
Isabella was observing with astonishment. Jazmine can breastfeed Nola, at the same time, comfort Malcolm. Isabella was proud of Jazmine's natural maternal competence, but she couldn't help but question her own. After the incident, Isabella struggled to deal with the guilt that consumed her.
She was awfully ashamed that her daughter's killer was her firstborn. She has always known the truth, since the murder of Celeste and her first discovery, she has completely lost herself.
Now that Mariana's dead, she thought the pain would go away, but it only made it worse. She could not find in her heart to love Mariana for what she did to Celeste, however, since Mariana's death, she felt confused and heartbroken. The same torn, she felt when Celeste died, she wondered how she could mourn a devilish child.
But she remembered the devil's child belonged to her. She admired Jazmine, she was a great mother. Far better than she would ever be.
"Bella, did you hear me?" Jazmine asked.
"Pardon, what was that?" Isabella said, interrupted by her thoughts.
Jazmine giggled "That's fine, " she said, shaking her head.
"I was just saying that I'm a bit concerned about Malcolm's behavior. " She revealed. "He seems a little jealous of Nola and I was asking you if you ever had to deal with-""Jazmine stopped herself when she noticed the look of regret on Isabella's face.
"Oh, it doesn't matter, I'm sorry I completely forgot," Jazmine said in all honesty.
Isabella cleared her throat. "Don't worry," she said while walking towards Malcolm. "Look, he's asleep. I'll take him to his crib"Isabella said, grabbing Malcolm.
"Bella, I am," Jazmine attempted to apologize. Isabelle raised her hand up.
"Please, I won't talk about it," Isabella said before leaving the room.
Jazmine breathed a sigh and bowed her eyes to Nola, who had the hiccups.
"Oh baby, I'm sorry," She said, positioning her on her shoulder and tapping her gently. Huey entered with a furious look, but his facial expression softened when he saw Jazmine burping Nola.
"How is she?" he asked, sitting by their side.
"I forgot to burp her now that she's got the hiccups," Jazmine admitted.
"Jazmine, you aren't supposed to forget things like this, she can get gas" Huey exclaimed.
"I know, I know, please don't start with Dr. Huey," Jazmine said, rolling her eyes.
"Here, let me," he asked. Jazmine rolled her eyes again and held out Nola to him. Huey stood while he rubbed her back gently and she instantly burped.
"Good job princess," Huey said, kissing her.
Jazmine sighs with sadness while Nola lets out some more burps. She was jealous of how great Huey was with Nola. As a matter of fact, he was better than she was. When Nola cried, He was the one that could make her cries go away. The only one that made her smile and apparently the only one that can burp her properly.
The only thing she was good at was breastfeeding. When Huey was finished, he tried to give the baby to Jazmine, but she refused to take her in her arms. Jazmine shook her head and covered her face with her palms.
"Jazmine, what's the matter?" 'Huey asked. In response, Jazmine sobbed. "I'm such a terrible mother"
Huey let out a sigh and sat down beside her. "Jazmine, that's not true. You're an amazing mother"
Jazmine wiped her nose on her sleeve. "You're just saying that," she said, folding her arms.
"No its true"
"Then why does she hate me?"Jazmine said, referring to Nola.
"C'mon Jazmine, She doesn't hate you,"Huey said, shaking his head in disagreement.
"Yes she does!" She yelled. "She knows what I did! "Jazmine whispered. "I, I almost killed her" she sobbed, covering her face with shame.
When Jazmine and Huey first brought the baby home, Nola had to be hooked to a machine at all times. Nola had trouble breathing without it. Jazmine was changing her, but she accidentally disconnected the machine and Nola almost lost oxygen. Huey was the first to notice and he quickly turned the machine back on.
Though Huey told Jazmine that it was an accident, Jazmine beat herself over it. She felt horrible and she always mentioned it.
"Jazmine, one mistake doesn't make you a bad mother," Huey reassured her.
"But-"Jazmine protested.
"Jazmine, please. Enough of this nonsense," Huey said, handing her Nola. Jazmine looked down at her baby and it always gave her chills. Nola was a very gorgeous baby. She had glowing caramel skin like her daddy and beautiful curly hair like her mommy. Though she had mostly Jazmine's defining features, the nose, lips, long lashes and big round eyes. Her eye color was maroon like Huey's and she made all of his face expressions.
According to Huey she had Jazmine's smile, but a slight dimple on her right cheek like Huey.
As Jazmine looked at her daughter, she couldn't help but to smile sadly. This was her baby, the same baby she carried for 35 weeks. The same baby that was the only one with her when she was ganged raped and tortured by those men. The baby that kept her stronger, that made her want to try harder.
A tear fell from her face. "I'm so sorry," she said, crying softly. Nola made a noise and touched Jazmine's cheek as If she was trying to wipe her tears.
As soon as Jazmine felt Nola's touch, she stopped crying and she looked at her and when she did Nola gave her a toothless smile. Jazmine laughed, "She smiled at me!" she exclaimed. "Did you see?" she asked excitedly. Huey who was busy recording the moment.
" Just like me, she doesn't like to see you cry,"Huey said as he stopped the recording.
Jazmine giggled as Nola kept on smiling. Huey wrapped his arms around her as they laughed. "She has your smile Jazmine," Huey said, kissing her cheek.
"I guess she does," Jazmine agreed. They made baby sounds as they spoke with her. They even played peek-a-boo together . Then suddenly, Nola made a face.
"Oh my god Huey, she's making your surprised face," Jazmine said in laughter . Nola pouted at her.
"Now she's making your spoiled face," Huey teased.
"What's wrong mama?" Jazmine said gently.
They heard a bubble sound and then the smell of baby gas.
"Uh Oh , someone has a stinky butt" Jazmine said in a baby voice.
Nola's lips trembled.
"Uh Oh" Huey knew that face, the "Jazmine's about to cry" face.
"Oh, no no!" Jazmine said, panicking as she began to rock her with her knee.
But, it was too late.
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Nola screamed as tears rolled down her eyes. Huey grabbed her to change her but Jazmine told him she wanted to do it. Huey smiled and allowed her.
"Mommy's gonna clean you right up" Jazmine said as she went to bathe her. Of course, overprotective Dr. Huey went along. Jazmine dressed her in her onesie and said, "Now I know Daddy is the one that reads you his stories, but would you like to hear one of mine?" Jazmine asked, playing with Nola's little toes.
Nola looked at her with Huey's famous arched brow.
"Gah?"
Sixteen year old Huey stood by his window, looking across the street at Jazmine's house. He still was hurt and bitter by her actions, but he missed her. He wanted to hold her, kiss her and make love to her, but his pride made it impossible for him to forgive her.
He was so torn.
As he watched, suddenly, an ambulance truck pulled up in front of her house, taking the stretcher with them as they entered.
Huey ran out of his own home to see them pushing Jazmine, who was unconscious and covered with blood.
"Jazmine!"
Huey tried to reach them, but he was held back. He wanted to know what was going on and he was determined to find out. Riley, Granddad and Huey all waited in the waiting room to know what was happening with Jazmine. It was terrifying to see her like this. It scared Huey to the very core.
"If she doesn't survive Huey, you're dead to me," said Riley, giving him the dirtiest look he's ever seen coming from his brother.
A doctor came up to them.
"I'm sorry, but Miss Dubois has passed," he said grimly.
Dead?
"No," Huey said, "she can't be."
"I am sorry, indeed." Jazmine died from blood loss, giving birth," he informed him.
Birth? Wait, she was pregnant?
Huey's head was spinning around because this can't be happening.
A nurse whispered to the doctor. The sinister glance between said it all.
"I regret to inform you that the baby has not survived as well," he revealed.
Before Huey could react to the news, he felt a light tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see Jazmine in her coffin. On her chest was her baby girl, their baby girl, She was beautiful like Jazmine. She had a head full of curly hair and she was covered in blood.. Huey sobbed at the sight of them. He wanted to be with them.
All of a sudden, he felt someone pull him back, it was Amelia dressed in a black dress wearing a hat with a black veil. She leaned over to Huey and whispered. "Huey, no need to worry about her." Now that she's gone we can finally be together, forever "
"Forever! "Her voice was echoing through the church,
"Forever! Forever! Forever!
"Get away from me!" he shouted, pushing her to the ground. She stood up and laughed out loud.
"Ahahahahaha! You fool! " She pointed at him. "You cannot throw me out!" You choose me and now she's dead and you're mine. She said she had red eyes like the devil. She approached him slowly, chanting. Her voice got more profound, almost demonic, as she said.
"Forever!"
"Forever!"
He held his hands upon his ears and clenched his teeth,
"Forever!" she went on.
"Forever!"
"Forever mine!" She said in a full demonic voice. She grabbed him by his collar and smashed her lips into his. As her mouth opened, magnets were falling down her throat. He wanted to push her away, but she was stronger. Her body was no longer mortal; she was huge like a beast and he suddenly felt like he was paralyzed.
He tried to holler. He wanted to escape her grasp, but he was trapped. The more she held him, the hotter his body became. The church walls started to crack and the floors were burning, burning the sows from his feet. Amelia, who was now a real devil, turned him back into Jazmin's coffin that burned in flames.
"No," he said while extending his arms, but it was too late. She and his beautiful baby girl we're turning into dust and there was nothing he could do to save her.
:
Huey opened his eyes and climbed out of bed. He looked around and everything seemed normal except he was in the wrong house. He was in his bedroom, he once shared with Amelia. His thoughts were corrupted when he heard Nola's cries and he immediately rushed to follow her cries. The sounds of Nola's cries were becoming louder and louder.
She was hungry, he thought.
""Alright princess, Daddy's here," he said softly, picking her up. He changed her diaper and held her in his arms. Afterwards, he placed her pacifier in her mouth to quiet her. He didn't want to wake Jazmine, who wasn't getting much sleep lately, but thankfully she had pumped her breast milk and bottled it in the fridge for later.
Huey waited for the milk to warm up and soothe his daughter. It was incredible for him how a small person had a huge impact in his life.
"Alright Nola here," he said, placing the bottle in her mouth. He would do anything to protect her, anything.
As he was feeding his daughter, he heard the sounds of Amelia's laughter. He looked around holding Nola closest to him. The laughter became louder when he felt a pat on the shoulder.
He turned around to see Amelia with a knife in her hand, ready to stab him, he backed away, but suddenly, Nola wasn't in his arms. Instead, she was in Amelia's arms.
"No!" he shouted. But a black hole was formed under him, and he fell into the darkness.
:
:
Jazmine woke up in a hospital bed and instantly knew she was dreaming. It always took place after her rape and ended with the death of Nola and Huey. The dream that seemed so real to her, the dream that took away everything that was important to her. She wept because she already knew her baby was dead.
"Bonjour beau, how are you today?" Jazmine looked up and saw... Lamborghini.
"Nolan?"
He was dressed up in scrubs, checking her vitals.
"Ah, you remember me? I thought you were truly blacked out," he said, changing one of her IV bags. "But we delivered your baby. I've never seen anything so cute in my life. She's adorable! " He said with a broad grin.
She?
"Then she's alive?" Jazmine said with a large smile. That was something new.
Nolan looked at her and smiled.
"Girl, you must have angels watching over you." That baby girl is beautiful and she looks just like you. Want me to go and get her?"
" Yes.. Oh! " She exclaimed as she remembered. "And I named her in your honor," Jazmine said.
Nolan's eyes dilated as tears formed "Truly?" he cried.
Jazmine nodded with a smile.
Nolan laughed happily. "Wow, Jazmine, that means so much to me." he said wiping a tear. "I'll go get her now! "He said with excitement.
He left and came right back with her baby girl.
"Nola," she kissed her cheek and hugged her. Nolan stood over her and rubbed her back.
"So how have you been Jazmine?"he asked.
"I've been getting better. Ever since Nola was born, I've never been happier," Jazmine admitted.
"D'awww! I am happy for you," said Nolan with great joy. Then he raised his eyebrows. "It's time to say goodbye now," he said, straying away.
Jazmine walked towards him as she recalled something she wanted to say to him.
"Wait!" On
Nolan turned around. Jazmine smiled widely. "I met Nathaniel! He's still in love with you and he misses you! " Jazmine said.
Nolan frowned "Nathaniel? Who's that?"
"Your fiancé, remember?"Jazmine asked.
Nolan shook his head. "Sorry, I don't know him," he said, vanishing into thin air.
"Wait! I was referring to Daniel! "Jazmine said as she remembered that was the name he knew him by but it was too late Nolan was gone.
Huey was roaming the halls, knowing he had lost Jazmine and their baby. It killed him inside, the things that could have been said. The things that could have been done. But it was all over now.

"Yo Huey!"
Huey looked up and saw Hiro running after him.
"You're not going to see Jazmine?" he said.
"Jazmine still alive?" Huey said in shock.
"Yeah man, she is doing well with the baby, over there," he said, pointing towards the nursery. Huey went inside the room. Jazmine was lying in the hospital bed with their baby girl in her arms.
"Jazmine?" he said, rushing toward her.
Jazmine looked up and saw Huey running towards her. Jazmine's eyes widened because Huey appeared as his teenage self. The one that hated her guts, but for some reason, he didn't have an angry expression on his face.
The eyes of Huey softened when Jazmine held Nola in a protective manner. He was full of tears.
"Jazmine," he said, touching her cheek. "You're alive"
"Huey! "She shouted, clasping him in her arms."
"You are truly amazing Jazmine, "he said after a while, "I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me"
She nodded as he apologized for all that he had done. She listened. But She didn't say anything.
"You gave us the perfect little girl."
Jazmin laughed a bit. "I figured you'd be mad at me? "
"Jazmine, why would I be? " He asked.
" Because of all the pain I caused you," Jazmine said with a tear in her eye.
But Huey wiped them away, "Jazmine, you made a mistake, and have repeatedly told you that I forgive you" he mentioned.
He let out a sigh before saying "Have you forgiven me yet?" he asked desperately.
"I" Jazmine felt a knot in her throat, why could she say the words I forgive you. Huey looked at her sadly and shook his head.
"Huey I" but before Jazmine could speak, the sounds of Amelia's laugh were heard and the great black hole was coming towards them.
"Jazmine run!" Huey yelled, pushing Jazmine, who was still holding Nola in her arms.
"No, I won't leave you!"Jazmine said, running back to him.
Huey tried to push Jazmine out of the way, but it was too late the hole was beneath them both. Huey held Jazmine and Nola tightly in his arms and closed his eyes. Jazmine felt his tears on her face along with his own as they fell into the hole of darkness.
Jazmine and Huey gasped as they woke up at the same time, but in different beds. Jazmine rushed out of bed, sliding onto a silk robe. She pinched herself, Am I Dreaming? She thought.
Huey hesitated, but emerged from the bed. He looked around waiting to hear Amelia's wicked laugh, but nothing.
Was this another dream?
Nola
Jazmine raced down the hall anxious to go to Nola's nursery to see Huey doing the same.
Somebody give me, uh
Somebody tell me the answers
Me and you isn't the answer (Uh)
Me and you isn't (No)
"Huey"
"Jazmine"
They said as they both stood in front of Nola's door. They looked at one another for a moment, both of them thinking about the dream, but none of them said a word about it.
"Checking on Nola?" Huey asked.
Jazmine nodded her head.
"After you," he said, letting her go first. Jazmine didn't hesitate as she opened the door and rushed towards the crib and there, Nola was sleeping peacefully.
She sighed with relief and heard Huey take a deep breath. Jazmine checked to see if Nola needed her diaper change, then she tucked her back in. Huey placed a kiss on her little head, looking at his little princess while she was breathing gently.
Maybe I'm tellin' myself that
But there ain't nothin' that'll change that
What good would it be if I knew how you felt about me? (Yeah)
They stood in silence, watching her sleep peacefully. During this time, Huey would sneak a glance at Jazmine while she would feel his stare. Once he looked down at Nola, Jazmine would catch herself staring at him. Then when she felt he would catch her she would revert her eyes back at Nola.
It could've been right, but I was wrong (Uh)
Only think 'bout you when I'm alone (Yeah)
The part of me that cared is almost gone
And I know that I can't get caught up
They continued that charade for about two more minutes, until Jazmine spoke.
"Huey?" She lifted her voice a bit.
"Yes?" His eyes widened anxiously.
Jazmine hesitated at first . "Do you remember that time you caught me naked?" She blurted out. Wait, that wasn't what I wanted to say? She thought foolishly.
Huey chuckled softly "Yeah, I remember"
Sweat grasped Huey's brow as he heard Jazmine's voice.
"Huey?"
"Huey, are you there?"
"Shit" Huey cursed. When he learned that Jazmine had arrived, he planned to hide in his room until the end of the weekend. He had a week's worth of food and water. The only thing he didn't think about was how he was going to wash and another thing, how the hell was he going to avoid Jazmine if she couldn't avoid him?
Great plan, he thought sarcastically.
"Huey, may I come in please?"Jazmine pleaded, she really wanted to speak with him. Initially, her plan was to avoid him but when she noticed he was avoiding her, she got worried.
He must be disgusted with me.
Maybe he didn't like the way the body looked
Jazmine thought fearfully.
"Look, I'll be in the guest room when you're ready to talk about what happened, Goodnight," she announced, walking away from the door.
Tears formed in her eyes. She was extremely embarrassed, and now she was hurt that she may have lost her best friend. It's all because she wanted to be cute and walk around naked, now he's probably thinking she's some weirdo freak.
Huey felt awful ignoring Jazmine like that but he didn't know what to say. He had so many questions roaming in his head like why the hell was she naked in the first place? Did she do it intentionally so he could see her? The only thing he did know for sure was now he knew he was attracted to her, will his attraction for her ruin their friendship?
Huey shook his head. He couldn't take it any longer; he had to find answers immediately.
He stood by her door waiting for her to open, but she never did. Maybe she was mad at him for avoiding her.
he cleared his throat nervously. "Jazmine, look I'm"
"Huey?" Jazmine said, standing behind him awkwardly.
Huey turned around to see Jazmine standing with nothing but a towel with her hair dripping all over the floor.
Fuck, not again he thought closing his eyes.
"Uhm Huey, you want to talk now" she said nervously, Damn it! why did I have to jump in the shower, she thought regretfully.
Why are his eyes closed? Could I really be that dreadful?
"Huey?" She said worriedly.
"Jazmine, could you put some damn clothes on first" he demanded in an irritated voice, still with his eyes closed. "Damn!" He expressed frustratedly.
"Oh, uhm, sure" she said, clearing her throat as he walked past him into the guest room. "Just wait here and I'll let you know when it's safe to come in," she stated.
"Yeah, yeah, get dressed," he said, closing the door.
Jazmine quickly slipped on her oversized shirt with pajama pants. She made sure she packed something that was big and baggy. She didn't want to reveal anything about her body and she didn't want to look sexy.
She placed her hair and a top-knot and sat on the bed.
"Huey! You can come in now! " She sighed.
"Are you certain?" Huey asked.
"Uh, Yeah! I'm fully clothed, Huey," she looked up and folded her arms.
Damn was she really that bad looking she thought.
Huey counted ten seconds before walking inside, he was instantly relieved when he saw that she was fully dressed, but even in the oversized pajamas she was wearing she still looked amazing to him..
What the hell has gotten into me? Huey thought disgraceful.
Huey stood silently as Jazmine picked her nails avoiding his stare.
Moments later they still were silent. Huey whistled, looking at the ceiling with his hands in her pockets as Jazmine stood up and sat down, then she kept redoing her hair.
Finally Jazmine emerged from the awkwardness and rose up and walked to Huey, who was still looking at the ceiling.
"Huey"
She said gently, touching his hand.
He flinched at her touch and looked down at her pleading eyes.
"Huey, I'm so, so sorry about earlier, I thought it would be fun to walk around naked since my parents weren't home, I had no idea you were coming and I was too busy listening to music I forgot that I didn't clothes on." She explained, feeling embarrassed.
I know this sounds insane, but this is what really happened. I just hope we can still be friends. I didn't mean to creep you out. " She said, looking at him apologetically.
She waited for him to say something and his silence made her even more nervous.
"Huey, say something," Jazmine insisted. Huey just stared at her with a blank expression. Deep inside, he was struggling with the right words to say.
He wanted to tell her he was sorry, but again, he wasn't sorry about finding her attractive. All he regretted was avoiding her because of it.
Jazmine smacked her teeth. "You know what, Huey, forget the whole thing," She made her way to the door. "I'm going to bed so you can go back to your room now," Jazmine said angrily, holding the door open for him to leave.
Huey walked up to the door and closed it. He wanted this to be private.
"I am not going to lie and say it didn't catch me off guard," he started, looking at her. His spirit was bewildered by the beauty that stood before him.
"I am sorry for the way I reacted, but you have to understand, seeing your friend naked isn't something you walk into every day." Jazmine listened, waiting for him to explain.
"Therefore, Please don't do that again because your friendship does mean a lot to me. I hope you understand," he stated in a serious tone.
Her eyes broadened, she didn't expect him to be so direct about it, but something she should have expected from Huey then why was she so surprised? She nodded in silence.
"I'm glad you understand," he said, feeling relieved that he didn't have to tell her how he really felt. He left thinking that his problems were resolved However, he did not see the tears running down her face.
:
:
:
Remember the night in Miami?
First time you put your arms around me
I'm up reminiscin' (Ooh, yeah)
"I can't believe you thought I wasn't attracted to you" Huey, shaking his head in disbelief.
"Well, perhaps if you would have said how you felt, I wouldn't have felt that way"Jazmine exclaimed. "Why didn't you tell me?" she asked.
"Because I was ashamed," Huey admitted.
"Ashamed of me?"Jazmine furrowed her brows.
'No, I felt ashamed... to have feelings for you. I didn't expect to fall in love, and when I did, it made me feel weak, "Huey revealed.
And thinking 'bout you isn't helping
Thinking 'bout you doesn't tell me
What good it would do if I decide to face the truth
"Love does not weaken you," Jazmine said. " Love makes you more responsible, more mature and stronger"
Huey chuckled, impressed by her words. "You're absolutely right. While love has made me more mature and responsible, it has also made me vulnerable. He acknowledged. " I love you so much, it scares me sometimes." He said, looking at her deeply.
She nibbled on her lip "Why?" She asked.
We could've been
And we try to pretend
Every now and again
'Cause loving you meant I'd lose you, "Huey stepped closer to her. Jazmine felt her heart thumping against her chest as he continued. "At the time, I thought love was evil because everyone I ever loved either died or left, " He admitted. " When I realized my attraction, my feelings for you were getting stronger, it scared me. I was afraid because I didn't want to lose you"
"Do you still believe this? That I make you feel vulnerable? "Jazmine asked.
We don't dream about, don't think about what
"Certainly, but to some extent. You always make me feel stronger, but you made me feel vulnerable too. When you cried, when you were angry with me, and mostly importantly when you left, "Huey explained. "Without you, I was incomplete because when you left, I lost half of me," Huey revealed.
We could've been (Oh yeah)
Though I'm holding it in
'Cause I know in the end
There was silence, a moment of reflection. A special thought came to their mind, the dream and in Jazmine's mind, she thought about forgiveness.
"Huey," she said, breaking the silence. Her eyes watered. "I forgive you," she said, truly from the bottom of her heart.
You dream about, I think about what
"What?" said he, astonished at her words.
We could've been, we could've been
We could've, we could've been
What we could've been, we could've been
Jazmine approached him, "I forgive you, Huey," she admitted. "I forgive you for all the pain you caused me and I'm so sorry for the pain I've caused you"Jazmine said, letting her tears fall.
Ayy
What we could've been
What we should've been
Huey cupped her face and wiped her tears with his thumb. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting to hear you say that," Huey said as his eyes were filled with tears as well.
If I wasn't, if I wasn't with somebody
If you gotta hide it, what's the point of trying?
I ain't just your friend, no, what's the point of lying?
Tryna sell a story ain't nobody buyin'
"Thank you," he said, before tilting down, kissing her. Her lips were moving as his tongue slipped into her mouth. They made out savagely and passionately. She clenched his chest with her hands as he held them tightly, not wanting to let go.
Look me in my eyes, don't that feel nice?
She moaned softly, feeling so vulnerable in his arms. He wrapped his arms around her hips and pulled her closer to deepen the kiss, but suddenly Jazmine's lips stopped moving. He looked at her to see her crying.
"Baby, What's Wrong? " He rubbed her shoulders gently.
Jazmine shoved his hands off her and backed away.
"Huey, I" she turned her head away and sighed deeply. "I love you and I'll always love you, " she whimpered, looking at him. Her lips trembled, His eyes shined with hope. "But, I don't want to be with you," she said, his eyes widened with shock.
Huey felt his heart scattered.
Why should it end? Baby, I could've been
I could've been him, more than your friend
"I'm not ready for a relationship and I don't know when I'm going to be. I know you want to get back together, but I don't want that,"Jazmine revealed. Her voice was hoarse from all the crying. She inhaled deeply, repelling her tears. She had to be strong. It's not that she didn't love Huey, she loved him like no other. But she didn't want a relationship because she wasn't ready.
Just say where and when, where to make a trip
Baby, make a wish, be the one I'm with
Should've been a, should've, could've, would have been, ayy
Huey grabbed her waist and pulled her to him. He touched her face. "Jazmine, tell me whatever you want and I'll give it to you. I'll do anything, " he pleaded . "Please tell me what I need to do to get you back,"he begged, desperately.
He couldn't lose her, not again.
"I want what we had when we were ten, I want a friendship," Jazmine found the strength to say.
Yeah, I would have been (Damn)
Huey was deeply hurt by her decision because he wanted more, but he was willing to be friends if that's what she wanted.
"When I lost you, I lost my best friend. I want him back. Please try to understand, " she pleaded.
Yeah, I would have been (Yeah)
Although it was the most difficult thing Huey ever had to do, he held her fingers and rubbed them gently and said,
"Jazmine, I understand," He smiled. " And, I agree, "
Jazmine's eyes widened. She wasn't expecting him to give in so easily, It hurt.
Damn, damn (Could've been)
" Before we can rebuild a relationship. We need to rebuild our friendship." He explained. "Jazmine, I'm willing to be your friend and when you're ready, if you want; we can be more,"
Her eyes lowered. "But I don't know when I'll be ready," she admitted. "I don't want to keep you wait-"Jazmine said, but Huey placed his finger on her lips..
Yeah, we could've been (Oh no)
"Jazmine,"Huey said. "I don't care how long it takes, a year, two years, shit even six years. It doesn't matter to me because I'm madly in love with you and I'm never going to give up on us, ever, "Huey expressed. He meant every word. Jazmine was so touched by his words, she melted into his arms, embracing him in a hug.
We could've been
And we try to pretend
Every now and again
We don't dream about, don't think about what
"Thank you" Jazmine whispered, burying her face in his chest. She was so relieved that Huey was willing to wait and be friends. She only hopes in the end, he will still be there.
We could've been (Oh yeah)
Though I'm holding it in
'Cause I know in the end
You dream about, I think about what
Huey kissed her head and held her tightly in his arms. He didn't really want to be friends, he wanted to be more, but he understood. He knew the only way to fix the broken relationship was for them to start over. They had to go back to the beginning before everything fell apart. Jazmine isn't the same anymore and he isn't either. They needed to be friends so they could get to know each other as they are now.
We could've been,
we could've been
We could've, we could've been
What we could've been,
we could've been
We could've, we could've been
The sound of Malcolm's cries snapped him out of his thoughts.
They looked up at each other "I get him" they both said. Jazmine giggled.
"Huey, it's fine. " she said, turning to leave, but he grabbed her wrist.
" Let's get him together," Huey said, smiling at her.
She smiled back and locked her arms with him.
Being friends wasn't bad after all.
"Bella" Jazmine knocked on the door softly. Isabella was stretched out on her bed with tears in her eyes. "Is everything alright?"
No
Isabella won't ever be the same, not after everything that's happened.
Depression.
An insane game that the devil played with her, now he's back with new games. She covered her ears and wept in silence, blocking the voice of Jazmine. The burning in her heart strengthened and she felt so weak, so
Pathetic
She was becoming what fear Jazmine would become.. In fact, they had switched places and now she's the one insane. You're the worst mother she's ever known. A disgrace.
Murder! You killed both your daughters!
The voices grew louder and louder, Isabella wailed.
The blows at the door became heavier and she could hear Jazmine gasp loudly.
"Go away!"Isabella yelled, and she heard Jazmine's footsteps walking from her door and she heard her crying. "Go away, " she said once more, but it wasn't Jazmine, she wanted to go, it was the devil.
Jazmine ran in the bathroom crying hysterically. She was scrambling to get her meds. Her pills spread all over the floor and she fell to her knees, grabbing a handful and without realizing it was too much, she shoved them into her mouth.
But just in time, Huey caught her, grabbing her chin causing her to spit the pills out.
"Jazmine what the fuck are doing"Huey hollered, shaking her. "Have you lost your mind! After everything you're still trying to kill yourself! What about Nola and Malcolm! "Huey shouted he was so frustrated and angry. "How could you be so selfish!"
Jazmine whimpered in her hands. "No, I need to take my medication." she said, looking for her pills again. "I cannot bear this pain" Huey grasped his hands.
"Tell me what's wrong," Huey said calmly. He was still furious with her, but he didn't want to upset her.
"It's, it's Isabella" Jazmine hiccups. "There's something wrong with her."
"Jazmine, calm down," Huey said, rubbing her shoulders gently. Jazmine blew her nose and nodded her head.
"What's the matter with Isabella? What are you talking about, she's in trouble? "He asked.
Jazmine sighs, "She's not herself. She hides in the room and cries all the time," Jazmine said. "I don't know what to do. I don't want to lose her."
"You're not going to lose her, "Huey said, before pulling out his phone.
"What are you doing!"Jazmine panicked.
"I'm calling someone that I know can help," he said.
"And who may they be?"
"Richard"
Never can say goodbye
(Never can say goodbye, girl)
"What's taking so long?" Jazmine said eagerly. When Richard arrived, He managed to get Isabella to open the door for him and he hasn't come out since. Jazmine felt hurt that Isabella trusted him over her.
No, no, no, no, I
"I don't know Jazmine, have patience. She's probably venting to him and you need to give her as much time as she need"
Never can say goodbye
(Never can say goodbye, girl)
"Why couldn't she vent to me?"Jazmine said, feeling offended.
Even though the pain and heartache
Seems to follow me wherever I go
"She probably doesn't want to stress you," Huey suggested
Though I try and try to hide my feelings
They always seem to show
Jazmine crossed her arms with stubbornness. "Everyone thinks I'm too mentally unstable to handle everything," she said.
"That's not true, "Huey said, rubbing her shoulders. "I think you're a strong woman who cares a whole lot about everyone more than yourself" Jazmine didn't respond, she huffed and rolled her eyes.
"Where's my babies?"Jazmine asked.
"They're sleeping, I checked five minutes ago," Huey said. Jazmine sighs and nods her head.
A few moments later, Isabella and Richard emerged from the room and descended the stairs. Jazmine rose anxiously, but frowned, and saw Isabella with a suitcase in her hand, and Richard had two in his hands.
"Bella, where are you off to?" asked Jazmine.
Isabella set down her luggage and sighed. "Jazmine, I'm leaving," she said.
Then you try to say you're leaving me
And I always have to say no
"Why, no!" said Jazmine. "You have to stay here, we need you, I need you!"Jazmine exclaimed as tears ran down her eyes.
Tell me why (Tell me why)
Is it so (Is it so)
"Jazmine, I have to go back to the church. I need to get right with God and cleanse myself from my sins before I lose my mind,"Isabella said.
That I never can say goodbye
(Never can say goodbye, girl)
No, no, no, no, I
"We can go to church together. You don't have to go"Jazmine pleaded.
Never can say goodbye
(Never can say goodbye, girl)
"No Jazmine. You do not understand. I have to go back to my church. The same church that helped me get back on my feet. I need to stick around a little bit, otherwise. I'll never be better. I'm very unhappy and I don't want to drag my misery to you and your family."
I keep thinkin' that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
"But we are family, your misery is our misery, we can get through this together. You helped me, let me help you," Jazmine pleaded.
But there's that same unhappy feeling
And there's that anguish, there's that doubt
Isabella smiles with sadness and kisses Jazmine's cheek "This is not goodbye, this is see you soon, " she said. "I won't be gone too long. You know I will be there to see the little angels grow, "She explained, referring to Malcolm and Nola.
It's the same old dizzy hang up
Can't do with you or without
"How long? "Jazmine asked.
"As long as I have to get better, I promise I'll be back and I'll never break a promise," Isabella said. "I love you, Mi Corazon," she said, embracing Jazmine firmly.
Tell me why (Tell me why) is it so (Is it so)
Don't wanna let you go
Jazmine was crying and clinging to Isabella. When Isabella pulled away Jazmine cried more. Huey pulled her into his chest.
I never can say goodbye, girl
(Never can say goodbye, girl)
Ooh ooh baby (Baby)
I never can say goodbye
No no no, no no no, ooh (No no no)
Isabella said her goodbyes to Huey and then she and Richard left. Jazmine was tearfully watching their car go further and further.
Oh, I never can say you goodbye, girl
(Never can say goodbye, girl)
Ooh, oh (Hey, baby)
I never can say you goodbye
No no no, no no no, ooh, ow, yeah (No no no)
This tore her heart and made her feel as if her mother had abandoned her.
I never can say goodbye girl
(Never can say goodbye, girl)
Ooh, now, ha (Hey, baby)
I never can say goodbye..
A few months later...
"Here comes the Choo Choo train,"Jazmine said, making train sounds with her mouth. Malcolm stared at her confusedly. " Come on baby eat for mama" Jazmine pleaded, placing the food near his lip.
Malcolm shook his head rapidly.
"Awww," Jasmine said, pouting her lips.
Meanwhile, Huey was sitting on the sofa reading articles in Sunday's newspaper about the recent shooting of an unarmed black man by the police. Terrence Catcher who was killed cold-bloodedly because his car broke down? Even with video evidence of him being shot while his hands are up. Police still managed to come up with a story that implied the police had rights to shoot another black man while he's down.
He didn't know what annoyed him the most, the fact that the article was only a page length or the fact that the story didn't even make the front page. Instead, Brad and Angelina's divorce made headlines. Who would've known a celebrity bound to end marriage would have been more important than a black man's life. Again, he is not so surprised as most of the news companies were sponsored by white supremacy.
His thoughts were disturbed when Nola slapped the newspaper over and over again. "Nola" Huey said in a warning tone, his eyes dwelling on the article. Nola began crying and swinging her arms wildly, turning the pages of the newspapers. "Nola enough!" He raised his voice a bit.
RIP
Jazmine gasped, looking up to see that Nola had ripped a page from the newspaper. She covered her mouth and looked at Huey waiting for his reaction.
Huey seemed shocked he looked down at the torn paper which was a piece about Donald Trump.
"Huey," Jazmine said nervously, she walked up to them and placed her hand on his shoulder. She expected Huey to react angrily, but instead, a broad smile spread across his face and he laughed... he actually laughed.
Jazmine watched as Huey and Nola interacted with one another. She has never seen this side of Huey, fatherhood. Jazmine laughed at them and turned to Malcolm, who had spilled his food to attract Jazmine's attention. "Oh, someone wants attention," she said while tickling his feet. He let out a little laugh and held out his hands for her to pick him up.
"Alright, darling , mommy's gonna clean you up," she said, taking out a wipe. Malcolm started crying and pounding his feet with impatience. "Malcom, please hold still, " she said, wiping him clean.
When she was done, she lifted him from his high chair and carried him as she walked towards Huey and Nola. She sat beside Huey with Malcolm on her lap. Nola noticed her and smiled, holding her arms so Jazmine could hold her too, but Malcolm only nestled further into Jazmine's chest. Huey notices this and grabs Malcolm.
"Hey son," he said, kissing his cheek. Malcom cries, but claims down. Meanwhile, Jazmine holds Nola and kisses her. She sets them both in the play pin where they interact with one another.
It's been a long time
As they stood and watched, Huey thought back to when they were making out in Nola's nursery. It was the last kiss they shared. It has been six months since they decided to be friends and things were fine between them. However, he couldn't deny how hard it was to be in the friend zone, especially when they slept in separate rooms, but it didn't stop the urges that often came his way.
I guess I just miss the old days
He used to hate the idea of being romantic, however, he missed the romance amongst them. He understood that in order for things to ever build between them, he had to start over, but a part of him feared that she would move on and find someone better.
He knew didn't deserve her, but he wanted her.
You remember, all them times?
When he accepted to be friends with her, he thought they would be the way they were when they were teenagers. She was always under him, but this time it was different. Instead of her chasing after him, it always felt like he was chasing after her.
You used to come keep me company
Tell me you love me and just me
He would look forward to when they were alone. Even so, he and Jazmine barely spent time together. Lately she's been hanging out with Daniel which he still disapproves of their relationship. He didn't trust him and he doesn't care what Jazmine says he knows for a fact that man is not gay. He watches how he looks at Jazmine and it bothers him, but he chooses to let it go because he didn't want Jazmine to get upset.
Oh and it took a while to trust me
Girl I had to work for it
Still you don't judge me
I love the way you touch me
He knew that she liked the fact that she had somebody who was close to Nolan and that he didn't want to ruin it for her. He wanted to investigate further, but he had already promised Jazmine he would not do so and he did not want to begin their new friendship with broken promises.
I'm feeling like I'm 'bout to lose you
With all the shady shit I do to you
Some things are better left unsaid
I can't get it out my head
Despite his disapproval of Jazmine's new friend, he remained in a healthy co-parenting relationship with her.
Better left unsaid
Everything that I regret
They didn't argue as they did before and when they were together with the kids. It felt like they had everything he longed for, but the only thing he didn't have was her.
No lie girl when I tell you, you a blessing
Girl just let me make corrections, yeah
Damn, I've been stressing yeah
It killed him.
"I miss Isabella," Jazmine said out of nowhere.
"I know, I miss her too, but she'll be back" he said, rubbing her back.
She distanced herself from him and sat on the couch. Huey rushed to her side and wrapped his arm around shoulders. She leaned her head on his shoulder and sighed.
I've been really tripping babe
I learned my lesson, yeah
I still need you to listen, oh babe
It felt like the old days.
"Oh, Huey, I cannot believe that she's gone," she exclaimed. "She'll be back," he said calmly. She looks at him sadly. " What if she doesn't come back?"
"No Jazmine" Huey shed a tear from falling from her eye. " I have known Isabella for many years and one thing about her I know for certain," he said, holding her chin up. " She never breaks a promise, " he assures her. Jazmine nods her head, understanding what he meant. She knew deep down Isabella was about her word. She couldn't handle being without her, it was like losing another mother.
"Are you okay?" said Huey, gently rubbing her shoulders. Jazmine smiled faintly at him. "Yes, I'm alright".
"Come on" Huey got up pulling her arm to follow him. When they entered the kitchen, he prepared a cup of coffee for her. "Coffee?" He asked, handing it to her. Jazmine doesn't hesitate to accept it. "Thank you, " she said, taking a sip, still thinking about Isabella.
Don't be afraid to tell me that it's over
Tell me that it's over
No, I don't deserve you, the shit I never told you
"You're welcome," he said, sitting across from her. He looked at her for a moment. He can tell she was still thinking of Bella. He wanted to do something to cheer her up. "Jazmine, " he said, touching her hand.
She looked at him. "Yes?"
There's too many things, I can't look you in the face
I just grab you by the waist and act like everything's okay
"I was wondering if you might join me for lunch today? He asked. She raised her brow at him. "You know as friends, " He added.
"Um" she nibbled on her lip.
Bare with me girl, I'm trying to be honest
Tell you what you need to hear, just not yet
I'm barely getting started, I'm being cautious
Girl that's the hardest
He continued on,
" I know you're thinking who's going to watch the kids Ming is in town and I asked her if she could keep an eye on them for two hours. " He proposed.
"Ming? Really? She doesn't even like children. " Jazmine frowned.
"That's not true Jazmine. Ming never mentioned she didn't like children. she said she didn't want kids of her own" He explained.
"Same difference "Jazmine rolled her eyes.
All we been through, look what we've been through
Look at Jay and Bey, they going through some shit too
We made it through the struggle let's make it through this too
"Come on Jazmine you and I both know if someone could protect them it would be min-" he began to say but was interrupted.
I got a confession, baby will you listen to it?
"Nope. "Jazmine shook her head. "Not happening. Sorry Huey, but She is not watching our kids" She said seriously. "Let me be clear, I have nothing against Ming. I appreciate the fact that she helped save my life, but I don't want someone who's inexperienced babysitting them" Jazmine says, disagreeing.
"Okay, fine, I'm sorry. You're right, " Huey said. "How about we take them out with us. We can take them to the zoo afterwards, " he offered.
Listen to me yeah
Oh if you'd just let me explain
Jazmine smiled at his offer, but then she remembered something. "Huey, that sounds like a wonderful plan, but I really don't want them out much. They haven't even had all their shots yet and I just want to keep them safe. " She went on. " Also. I was supposed to meet Daniel at the gym today," Jazmine mentioned in a quieter tone. She knew his name triggered Huey.
If you'd just let me explain
Baby, oh
Listen to me yeah
Oh if you'd just let me explain
"Are you serious Jazmine, " Huey said, feeling jealous.
"You say you want us to work on our friendship, yet you never want to be around me unless it involves the kids." He said, becoming angry, "And You've been spending way too much time with him. I'm starting to believe that something else is going on between you two."
If you'd just let me explain
Baby, oh
Yeah for sure
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
"How dare you say that Huey" Jazmine interrupted him. She raised her voice as she spoke. "There's nothing going on between Daniel and I! He's not even attracted to women, he's gay! "She screamed.
He's attracted to you, but you're too blind to see that Huey thought.
Listen to me yeah (Oh yeah)
Oh if you'd just let me explain (Just let me explain)
Jazmine went on to say, 'If you were so concerned about our friendship, you wouldn't be jealous all the time. Huey, we're not together anymore. You can't tell me who I can and cannot hang with, please stop and drop this "Jazmine said frustrated.
As he rose from the table, he scoffed and said something under his breath.
If you'd just let me explain (Oh yeah)
Baby oh (Baby oh)
Listen to me yeah (Oh baby oh)
"What'd you say, Huey?" She said, folding her arms.
"Nothing, Jazmine. I'm going to go check on the babies," he said, walking away towards the children.
She sighed profoundly when she looked at him. It's been such a long time since they got into an argument. She likes how peaceful it has been among them. She didn't mean to spend so much time with Daniel. She really missed Isabella and she needed a friend. She agreed that she would work on building her friendship with Huey, however, it's been hard for her because deep inside she still really loved him. She couldn't even be alone with him without feeling the urge to kiss him. Especially when he came home from training, he always looked so good that it would turn her on. She often fantasizes about the moment they shared that night.
Oh if you'd just let me explain (Baby oh)
If you'd just let me explain
Since Nola's birth, she decided to abstain from sex for some time as she knew she was not mentally or physically prepared to be intimate again. But that did not prevent her from wanting to. She couldn't understand why she felt this way, but she knew she only felt like that when she was alone with Huey so she tried her best to keep her distance.
Though it drove her insane.
Baby oh
She looked at Huey who was now playing with the kids. Fatherhood looked beautiful on him. She sighed as she grabbed the remote in front of the table and turned on the kitchen television. . The first thing on the screen was breaking news of Amelia's Freeman verdict.
Jazmine gasped! "Huey " she said urgently as she turned up the volume to hear the news reporter.
"Good morning, as you can see, I am standing before the court where the trial of Amelia Freeman took place. We couldn't speak to Mrs. Freeman for security reasons, but we did manage to speak to her attorney. Who has confirmed to us that Mrs. Freeman's guilty, but due to her insanity status, she will not be serving prison time and will be spending eight years in a mental hospital, " the reporter stated.
"What!" Jazmine exclaimed, in shock. She covered her lips with her hands. Her eyes were stuck to the television. She watched the reporter continue to describe Amelia Freeman' verdict, but the screen went black. She turned her back to see that Huey turned off the TV.
"Huey! How come you turned that off! " Jazmine exclaimed.
"YouheardwhattheysaidAmeliaisonlyservingsixyearsNo prisontimeHowcould theydothisAftereverythingthat happenedtome," she said rapidly.
"Jazmine" he said while taking her hand. "Take your time"
Jazmine took a deep breath before speaking. "I don't understand. Why are they doing this? She tried to kill me, she almost killed our child. Huey, why aren't you angry about this! She said angrily.
"If you calm down, then I'll explain," he said, trying to remain calm. Inside, he was fuming. He sat her down and sighed deeply "A few days ago, my lawyer called and told me that Amelia's insanity case was growing. He warned me that this would happen, " he explained.
""How could you not tell me this? " Jazmine demanded, feeling hurt, that he kept her from this information.
"I didn't want to worry you. '' Huey revealed. "I was going to tell you, but I wanted to try to fix this first, but unfortunately there was nothing we could do. Amelia's lawyer successfully portrayed her as the victim, "he explains.
Jazmine laughs bitterly, "So eight years and she walks? Unbelievably "she shook her head furiously. "This is my fault. I should have taken the stand, " she said, regretting her decision to reject testifying against Amelia in court. It wasn't that she didn't want to at the time of Amelia's trial, Jazmine wasn't stable enough and Nola was in a premature state. Jazmine was focused on what was most important and that was her child.
"You are not to blame! You couldn't take the stand you were nursing our child, you weren't stable enough to take the stand there was more than enough evidence against her including Amber's confession. This is nothing more than the corrupt judiciary. "Huey points out.
"Well, then, what now?" Jazmine exclaimed.
"What will we do when she is released? Would if she tries to take Malcolm! " she yelled. "Huey, we can't allow her to take him! I don't want to lose him" Jazmine sobbed.
"Jazmine, don't worry about that because I've decided to adopt him. I already have the documents processed. Even if she tried she won't be able to get him back. I have an active case against her of child endangerment and not to mention, attempted murder of our unborn child. " Huey explained. . He grabbed her shoulders. "You'll never have to worry about her again, you understand?" he said. "I will never allow anyone or her to hurt you or our children."
A teardrop fell from Jazmine's eyes and she nodded, "Okay," she said calmly.
She leaned into her chest and breathed, and he wrapped her arms around her in a protective way. He kissed her head as he held her. .
At that moment, Jazmine found a safe place where nothing else matters, in his arms.
Huey stroked her hair and looked at his beautiful babies holding the love of his life and made a value to himself that he would stop at nothing to protect his family.
Even if it meant he would have to kill to do so.
Two weeks later
Go figure
You were the trigger
"Jones, you have 10 minutes, " a nurse stated in a serious tone. She led her to the reading room filled with books and magazines, at the request of Amelia.
She rolled her eyes. "Whatever, " and mumbled, then she looked up at the nurse. "OK, thanks a lot!" she said with a false smile.
The nurse smiled, and left the room.
You brought me to an obstructed view
When you knew the picture was bigger
"Stupid bitch, " said Amelia as she headed towards the magazine aisle. She was rummaging around frantically, dumping magazines on the floor.
Who am I kiddin'?
Knew from the beginnin'
She was desperate as she scanned the pages looking for news about Jazmine and Huey. Since her arrest, she has not heard of them. She heard rumors about a baby and a potential second baby daddy, and then the rumors were thrown out.
You'd ruin everything, you do it every time
You are my enemy, you are no friend of mine, muhfucker, uh
The less aware she was, the more her obsession with them developed. She needed to know everything. More importantly, she had to find out whether Jazmine's baby survived or not. Huey's letter stated otherwise but she had to make sure.
You muhfuckin' right
You muhfuckin' right, I'm bitter
You muhfuckin' right, I'm triggered
You muhfuckin' right, I
She became increasingly frustrated because she realized that all of their material had been intentionally removed or missing from magazines. It was as if they knew what she wanted.
Don't know what I'm capable of
Might fuck around and go crazy on cuz
Might fuck around, have to pay me in blood
This ain't the way that you want it
Hang on... she smiled when she saw a headline that said New baby alert! Jazmine Dubios, page 3. Bingo! She thought about how she turned the pages to the third page, however, to her surprise, the page was snatched from the book.
Might catch a case in this bitch
Don't let me catch you face-to-face in this bitch
Tryin' my hardest not to disrespect you
After what you did, man, what you expected?
You muhfucker, uh
"Argh! She screamed and tore all the pages out of frustration.
Of our memories
All you meant to me
All that history
All that's history
I'll calm down eventually
She closed her eyes as the tears fell. She just couldn't believe she had everything she wanted in her hands and lost it all.
Fall back eventually, please
Call me back eventually
Fall back into me, yeah
She was so angry she didn't hear someone come in the room.
Maybe I'm overreacting
Baby, I don't know what happened
You know all of my bad habits
You know it's hard for me to control that shit, man
"Amelia Jones?"
She looked upwards to see a young girl who resembled a teenage version of herself. She was pretty and tall with dark ebony skin. Her light brown hair was heavily twisted and she wore loose clothing.
Amelia raised her eyebrows, placing her hand upon her hips. "Who are you and what do you want!" She said, roughly.
'Cause when I get mad, I get big mad
Should have never did that, get back
'Bout to feel the wrath of a menace
In my bag, in my feelings
I'm a bad lil' bitch, and uh
The girl giggled nervously and stirred a braid behind her ear.
"What are you laughing at?" Amelia snapped. "Do I look like some kind of fucking joke to you," she snapped.
"Oh no, by no means!" " The girl said quickly. She wavered a bit. " I can't believe it's you. You're an inspiration to me. I always did admire you. '' She said, palming her hands together,
Amelia eyes widened as the girl continued,
"Heh, I know that sounds crazy, " She giggled nervously. "but I know so much about you,".
Amelia snorted "Chile, don't believe everything you hear, " she said, crossing her arms.
The girl laughed hysterically, "Isn't that the truth sista," she said, proudly. "I know you're innocent. I know what they said about you is a lie. Jazmine DuBios is nothing more than a cultural enterprise and a crack whore. She fucked her way to the top. I hate everything about her and I hate what she did to you, " She said, frowning as she shook her head.
Well, she wasn't expecting that.
Amelia smiles " Hmm. So you know your stuff? "
The girl nodded.
"I like that. " Amelia said with a nod. "What's your name?" She inquired, all of a sudden interested.
"My name is Simone Andersen, and I am-"
"Okay, so how much do you know about Jazmine?" Amelia cut her off. "Did you hear any news about her and Huey?" She asked.
"Well, she had a baby, but she hasn't published any pictures yet, but they say it's a girl," Simone said.
I always wanted a daughter, Amelia thought.
I'm triggered, when I see your face
Triggered, when I hear your name
Triggered, I am not okay, uh
You need to stay out my way
"I cannot believe that they support their relationship. They even referred to them as JUEY! It's ridiculous. I've seen some pictures of them with the babies, but they never show their faces,' she said. " I heard they brought a house together and she's always with this white guy. Don't know what that's about. Her husband turned up dead. Probably had him killed to be with Huey. " Simone said.
JUEY ? Ugh!
"I presume the other baby is your son Malcolm. " She pointed out. " I can't imagine how hurt you must feel if your husband, who you trusted and loved, betrayed you for some industry slut. And then he had the nerve to have it around your child." Simone exclaimed.
As the girl went on and on, Amelia zoned her out all she could think of was the fact that Jazmine had the baby.
Triggered, when I see your face
Triggered, when I hear your name
Triggered, I am not okay, uh
You need to stay out of my way (yeah)
It's a girl! She can't believe the baby made it alive! They had brought a house together? She was livid. She bawled her fist and gritted her teeth. The slut took everything from her, including her son, and now she's playing house with her husband!
That filthy whore !
"Amelia, are you alright? "Simone says, with concern." She noticed Amelia's hands began to bleed from her digging her nails into her skin.
You need to stay out of my way (yeah)
"Yeah, yeah girl, what was that?" She asked, carelessly.
"I was saying... you really ought to write a book. " She said carefully. "Share your side of the story. The world deserves to be told the truth.
" Jones! Time's up! Your psychologist is here for you," she called.
Amelia grumbled and she truly hated it when they called her that. The divorce has not been finalized yet. Her attorney is fighting against Huey's for her to keep the Freeman last name for business reasons, however Huey's attorney was working very hard to halt her from using the infamous last name. In the meantime, it felt as they were taunting her by calling her.
"Jones!" The nurse called again.
You need to stay out of my way
Oh, oh-oh, I, yeah-yeah
Amelia closed her eyes in annoyance then she looked toward the girl. "That's a good thought, Simone, isn't it?" I gotta go, " she said, turning to leave, but then she looked back at her. "And by the way it's Amelia Freeman to you, and I think you could have potential. Do yourself a favor, mind your fucking business and get a life! " She said, dismissively.
She walked away not caring that girl was now in tears.
"Good afternoon, Amelia."
Amelia entered the office to see a pale-skinned, dark-haired woman. She wore her hair in a neat bun. She was wearing red lipstick and dark sunglasses on her face.
His lips widened with a smile.
"I've been waiting for you," she said. She had a deep, soft voice, and a strong accent.
"Please sit down,"
Amelia rolled her eyes and seated herself. " Let's make this quick. 'She folded her arms. " I have shit to do, " she said stubbornly.
"Very well," The woman said calmly. "Tell me something about yourself, Amelia?"
"Don't you watch the news! My name is all over. I'm Amelia Freeman and you know the rest" Amelia said with an attitude.
The woman laughed gently. "Hmm. You are absolutely correct. I do know who you are'' She said confidently. "I know there's something you want the most and I can help you get it, " she said, placing down her notepad.
"Who the hell are you?" Amelia said seriously.
The woman smiled and removed her glasses.
He used to call me DN
That stood for deadly nightshade
While sneaking into the warehouse, she spotted an Asian girl on the ground who seemed to have been knocked down.
Cause I was filled with poison
But blessed with beauty and rage
She heard a struggle, it sounded like someone was fighting. "Where the fuck is Jazmine!" She heard a deep voice say. She's familiar with that voice. It was the alleged boyfriend of that puttana. She immediately went into hiding and realized they had been ambushed.
She found herself in the basement in which she had discovered she wasn't alone.
Jim told me that
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
It was Miguel and his sons. They looked as if they'd been beaten. They were shackled and blood was everywhere.
Jim brought me back
Reminded me of when we were kids
"Miguel? What happened! She was panting, running up to him.
"This fucking hooker got away! She did this to us! " He said, breathing heavily.
She looked around the room. Jazmine did this? She couldn't believe her eyes that Puttana was smarter than she thought.
"Viola! Help us! " Miguel demanded.
He used to call me poison
Like I was poison ivy
She crossed her arms. " You want me to help you?" She looked at him with a smirk.
"We don't have time for this shit!" murmured Miguel .
She rolled her eyes and searched for the room. To her surprise Jazmine left the key on the American's pig body. Must have been her way of taunting them. She picked up the keys and released Miguel from the shackles.
I could've died right then
'Cause he was right beside me
The moment Miguel was released, he laughed happily. He kissed her cheek. "You were always my favorite," he said. Viola wanted to vomit at the lie he told.
Jim raised me up
He hurt me but it felt like true love
"Father, release us! " One of the sons begged.
Before Miguel could do anything, Viola stopped him. "Hurry, Go kill the whore!" She said, handing him her gun.
"I'll free them," she said with a smile.
Miguel nodded with a smile.
"I'm gonna shoot that bitch. To hell with games, she died and her lover Huey Freeman too,' he said.
"Leave before they escape!" she said, He laughed before rushing out.
She smiled and as soon as he left, she turned to the other men and her smile disappeared.
Jim taught me that
Loving him was never enough
"Free us now! We waited long enough " one demanded.
"Hurry, he's dying!"
This is ultraviolence
She walked slowly towards them. " I remember when I first married Manuel. All I wanted was to be accepted in the family and for a moment, I felt like we were a family" she explained .
Ultraviolence
"We don't have time for sad stories, set us free now!" One demaded.
Ultraviolence
Viola smiled from cheek to cheek while pulling out a pistol, which was integrated into a silencer. She held the gun directly to the eldest son's eyes.
Ultraviolence
"What the fuck are you doing! "He yelled and his voice panicked.
I can hear sirens, sirens
She laughed wickedly,
"I'm setting you free," she said.
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
"arrivederci(Goodbye)"she said with a deadly stare.
His eyes widened.
I can hear violins, violins
"Viola wai-" he tried to say, but she was pulling the trigger.
Give me all of that ultraviolence
Viola watched in excitement as she shot each of them, execution style.
This is ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Viola hid behind the shadows, making sure they would not see her. She leaned on the wall while listening to the scene in front of her.
"Death is too leisurely for you," She heard Huey. For a moment she thought he would spare Miguel's life but then he said, "you know what?" "Fuck it,"
Suddenly,
BANG!
Viola covered her mouth to silent the gasp that was threatening to come out. She remained silent and stared ahead. She had to think strategically to get out of there safely and not be noticed.
I can hear sirens, sirens
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
I can hear violins, violins
Give me all of that ultraviolence
For a second she thought she wouldn't be able to escape until
"Get your hands off her you fucking bastard! She looked over to see the boyfriend Huey fighting with her alleged third lover with the dreads in hair.
Stupid Americans
This is ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Ultraviolence
Viola rolled her eyes. Even in a moment like this, they were still fighting for the bitch. She made the most of the opportunity to sneak out the side door. When she finally made it out, she breathed a relieved sigh.
I can hear sirens, sirens
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
I can hear violins, violins
Give me all of that ultraviolence
She looked at the television screen with tears in her eyes, Manuel was discovered dead. The one man she loved was dead, and the hooker was still alive. The one that ruined her life and took everything away from her was breathing air.
She looked upon the cross that was on her wall while crushing the glass cup in her hand. She felt her blood boil and she clenched her teeth.
"Sorry God, " She said, " but Vengeance is mine.
Wake me up, mmm, when the mornin' come
"Who the hell are you?" Amelia asked with suspicious eyes.
You bitches ain't humble enough
Viola took off her glasses from her face and smiled abundantly, "My name is Victoria"
"Ookay?" Amelia said, confusedly. "And what exactly could you possibly help me with?" she asked.
Mmm, when the mornin' come
Mmm, when the mornin' come
Viola laughed hysterically, this stupid girl.
Wake me up, mmm, when the mornin' come
Mmm, when the mornin' come
Mmm, when the mornin' come
"Revenge" she said as though it were poison in her mouth.
These fake-ass bitches is done
"On who exactly " Amelia said, her heart was pounding with excitement.
So wake me up early!
Viola stared at her mortally with a dangerous look upon her face and said,
"The one and only, Jazmine DuBios"
