AN: So I'm glad that a lot of you understand Huey's and Jazmine's feelings and don't hate neither of the two.

Freegirl999: Hahaha that made me laugh. Well he was not in his right mind when it happened so you are right he did.

I do not own The Boondocks.

Enjoy.

Chapter 9

"Ok I would like all of you to grab a partner. Today we are going to be doing some trust exercises." Frank announced. It was Monday so I was here in rehab.

"Hey want to partner up?"

"Sure."

Jose was a cool guy, after talking with him I found out he was a lot like Caesar.

"Pick a partner A and a partner B."

"Want to be A?" He asked.

I shrugged.

"Ok then I'm B and you're A."

I nodded.

"Partner A must wear a blindfold and fall, Partner B will be the one doing all the catching."

I was starting to reconsider being partner A.

People started to put there blind folds on so I did aswell.

"Trust me just fall." I heard a girl say, probably to her partner.

"You ready Huey?"

"If you drop me I will hurt you." I said as I fell backwards.

He caught me right on time.

Frank made us do this five times until we switched and now partner B was doing the falling. Jose just dropped without warning and lets just say he's lucky I have fast reflexes. About ten minutes had passed.

"Ok now I want you all to huddle up in one giant group." Frank instructed us.

We all stopped what we were doing and headed to the middle of the room.

"One of you will be the one to fall while your peers catch you. I want you all to learn that we are in this together and we are your second family. Can I get a volunteer."

Jose raised his hand.

"Ok Jose get up here."

He walked up to Frank and stood on the desk before falling. We all caught him.

"Anyone else?"

People began to look around and some looked at their feet.

"Huey would you like to go?"

Frank always called on me, I'm guessing it's because he does not know much about me. I did not reply I just walked up and got on the desk. I did not drop right away like Jose did. I took a deep breath and excelled.

"You can trust your family Huey." Frank said.

I ignored him and waited a bit before falling. They all caught me right away.

"Great job Huey." Frank cheered.

About ten people went after me.

"Ok you may all be dismissed." Frank said.

We all said are goodbyes and out the door we were.


"Are you coming to the barbeque Frank is hosting for us?" Jose asked as we walked into the parking lot.

"No, I'd rather stay home."

"You should come. We can bring one guest so this would be the perfect time to hook up with that girl you were talking about."

He did have a point I could bring Jazmine to it and try to reconnect with her a little more.

"You do have a point. When and what time?"

"This sunday five until eight."

I nodded.

"Bye." I said as I got in my car.

Jose waved and left.

I drove off but instead of going home I decided to stop by the super market where I bought a few thing I needed. After I had paid I got in my car but instead of going home I went to visit Riley and Grandad. I opened the door and saw Riley sleeping on the couch. I grabbed a small blanket and placed it on him, this caused him to wake up.

"You gay, nigga." He whispered.

I shook my head.

"Are you hungry?" I asked.

He did not have to answer with words because his stomach gave me the answer.

"I take that as a yes. I'm going to go see if Grandad is too and then I'm going to cook."

"Fried chicken?" He asked all excited.

"No." I informed him.

"Man I want some chicken."

I ignored him and walked upstairs. When I walked into Grandad's room I saw Him doing sit ups on the bed.

"Grandad what are you doing?" I asked a bit surprised he was able to do them still.

"What does it look like boy I'm exercising." He said as he stopped and looked at me.

"Oh hey boy I thought you were Riley."

I shook my head.

"Are you hungry?" I asked him.

"Fried chicken?"

"No."

"I'm not hungry."

"Grandad you have to eat healthy. I think you might like what I make."

He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

"What you making?"

"It has chicken in It." I told him.

He looked at me for a second before speaking again.

"Hurry up I'm starving."

I nodded and walked out the room.


"What is this?" Grandad said while looking at his plate and cringing.

"It's good for you."

I had made grilled chicken with a side salad and white rice.

"What are these black things?" Riley asked with the same expression Grandad was wearing.

"Olives." I said while eating.

"What the hell is an olive."

"Riley I have to show you something come with me."

"What is it."

"Just come with me."

He followed me to the living room.

"What is it?"

"Listen to me Riley, Grandad can't eat all the junk food he used to eat. Maybe if he sees you eat healthy he might eat healthy aswell."

"But It's nasty." He made a disgusted face.

"Look I'll buy you some fried chicken, just please eat it for Grandad."

"Ok but I want that chicken." He said as we walked back into the kitchen.

"What was it that Huey had to show you?" Grandad asked Riley.

"Something stupid." He answered.

Riley looked down at his food and took a small bite.

"Umm this is good. This olive is the best."

It was bad acting but Grandad fell for it.

"Is it?" He asked.

"Yeah." Riley said while taking another bite.

Grandad looked at his plate and took a bite aswell.


"You owe me chicken." Riley said as we cleaned the kitchen.

"You want it now?"

"Hell yeah. I want to eat real food."

I sighed.

"Ok wait in the car I'm coming."

He went to my car while I finished up the dishes. As soon as I was done I walked upstairs to tell Grandad that Riley and I were leaving for a bit.

"Hey Grandad.." He was sound asleep already.

I left a note next to his bed in case he woke up while we were still gone. I walked out the front door and walked into my car.

"Took you long."

I shook my head and started the car.

"Fried Chicken, Fried Chicken." Riley sang all the way to KFC.

I paid for the chicken and we sat at a booth. Riley digged right into that big bucket of chicken while I just sat and watched him.

"You don't know what you are missing."

"Belive me I don't want to be a part of it." I said as I took a sip of my unsweetened tea. Riley shrugged and continued eating like a pig.


It was seven o'clock at night and I had just dropped Riley off . I was on my way to my apartment when I saw a woman standing next to her car, she was on the side of the road. I noticed the woman was Jazmine. I pulled up behind her car and got out of mine. I guess she had not noticed I was behind her, she was talking on the phone.

"Yeah dad I called them and they said they should be here in an hour...Its just a flat tire dad calm down...Dad I'm twenty-one so don't tell me not to talk to strangers... Ok dad love you too...Yes...Ok bye." She hung up the phone.

"Hey." I said.

She turned around and I guess I must have startled her.

"Huey you scared me." She said while clutching her heart.

"Sorry."

"What are you doing here?"

"I saw you stranded here and thought I could help."

"Thanks but I'm good, a Toll truck should be arriving soon."

"Well when they do I'll leave, I can't let you stay here alone."

"Huey it's a busy intersection, I'll be fine."

I looked at her. She looked so determined to shoo me away but I was not going to let her.

"I'm staying and you can't do anything about it."

She sighed.

"Ok."

We waited for an hour until a Toll truck showed up. Jazmine and I did not say a word the whole time we were waiting but it was a comfortable silence not an awkward one. It was like we were communicating without saying a word. They were ready to take her car.

"Do you need a ride?" I asked.

"No I'm fine, thanks for the company." She said as she started to walk to the truck.

"Hey Jazmine!" I shouted.

She turned around and faced me.

"Yes?"

"Sunday my rehab instructor is hosting a barbeque, I was wondering if you wanted to go? It's from five to eight."

"I would love to go." She said with a smile.

"Lets talk more about it on saturday." She continued.

I watched the truck leave before getting into my car and driving home.


I was now sitting on my couch looking at Cindy's number, I had it memorized by now. I mouthed the numbers but made no effort to call it. I wonder how she was holding up especially that now she was a mother. At that moment my cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey man It's Caesar. What's up?"

"Not much just got home, you?"

"Just got back from the store. So did you call?"

"Not yet, Why?"

"I heard from Cindy this morning and she said she was coming over on Sunday and Leaving Monday. I did not tell her that we saw each other and talked."

"Do you know what time she leaves?"

"She said around nine in the morning. If you want to talk in person you can find her at my place since she will be staying with me."

"Ok, I'll think about it." I said before hanging up.
