AN: So I did say this chapter was going to be longer than the last one and I kept my word. This chapter is 1,968 words not including the AN. This chapter is all about Cindy and Jazmine. It's in Cindy's point of view.
I do not own The Boondocks.
Enjoy.
Chapter 12
"What do you want and how did you find me?" She asked me with an angry scowl on her face.
"That doesn't matter Jazmine-"
"How?!" She cut me off.
"A friend knew I was looking for you and they helped me find you." I sighed.
She closed the manilla folder.
"Look Jazmine I want to apologize for what happened that time." I said.
"Shut up Cindy! I don't want your apology at this point. You are the reason I'm not with the only guy I ever loved."
"Please Jazmine forgive me." I was seriously about to break down.
I never cried or showed any weakness, in fact I was always strong, but I could not handle this. She looked at me with sad eyes but they quickly turned to anger again.
"Must I remind you about the Hell you put me through? All those nights I could not sleep, All those nights I cried my eyes out."
"Jazmine I know what Huey and I did hurt you but please forgive us!" I shouted.
I watched Jazmine get up from her seat and head towards me, she was heavily crying and so was I. She raised her hand, and I knew what she was about to do but I made no effort to stop her. She punched me right in the jaw. At some point I snapped aswell and I began to hit her too. I think everything went blank until it was finally over. We were both laying on the floor looking at the ceiling, neither of us said a word. I wiped the blood from my cut lip.
"To be honest I wanted to forgive you the day you told me about it." Jazmine said.
I said nothing I just listened.
"I wanted to forgive you so bad. I even wanted to forgive Huey but I just felt so betrayed by the both of you. I know you both were drunk, but it still was no excuse for what happened."
"I know Jazm-"
"Please Cindy let me talk."
I shut my mouth and waited for her to continue.
"It took me a long time to recover from my depression. The way I would cope with it was by working and studying over my limit. I thought if I was tired and busy maybe I would not think of him at all, but I was wrong. I dreamt of him every night. I dreamt of all the good and bad we had been trough but in the end my dreams would always lead to when you told me the news. Eventually I stopped dreaming of him but not even a year later I discover he was in a big mess and needed help right away. I could not just leave him, I had to help him. So I decided to be his therapist. To be honest I forgive you both, I forgave you both a long time ago, But when I saw your face I must have felt angry since I never took it out on you like I did with Huey. I should be the one saying sorry Cindy."
I smiled.
"It's ok Jazmine, I forgive you."
We both embraced into a tight hug even though we were both still laying on the ground.
"But you do pack one hell of a punch." I informed her.
"Your not bad yourself, I forgot how much your punches hurt." Jazmine replied with a smile.
"Why don't we go grab something to eat, It's on me." She added.
"Hell yeah free food." I exclaimed excitedly.
"You sure are the same." She said as she playfully pushed me.
"So what are you getting?" She asked me.
We sat at a table,we were in a small restaurant.
"A cheese burger and some fries sounds good right now, I have not had that in a while."
"Really why not? You always used to eat them, they were your favorite."
"Well since I became a model I had to lose some weight."
"You model?" She asked as she almost choked on her drink.
"Yeah, but I'm not famous or anything." I informed her.
"So other than that how has life been treating you?"
"Well I have a Two year-old son name Kevan, he's a little trouble maker but I love him. I moved to New York to stay with Paul, but a couple of months after I had Kevan we broke up. He just did not treat me the way I wanted to be treated and I realized the only person I love is Caesar."
She choked on her drink again.
"You love Caesar?!"
"Yes, I realized that I did a year ago."
"I kinda figured you did, but then you started dating Paul even if you barely knew him." She said.
"You know Caesar told me you guys dated."
"Oh god don't remind me, It only lasted for three days. We are too much like brother and sister to date."
"Wait you still talk to him?" I asked her.
"Well when I broke up with Huey and ended my friendship with you, Caesar was the one who comfort me. I never ended my friendship with him."
"I thought for sure you both did." I said a bit surprised.
"No, we don't talk as much since I'm always busy but we still are friends."
A waiter came by and took our order.
"I'll have a grilled chicken sandwich."
"And you miss?" The waiter asked me.
"A cheese burger with fries please."
He wrote that all down and left.
"So have you told him that you love him?" She asked me as she took a sip of her cocktail.
"Not yet, I want to but I'm sort of scared."
"And why is that?"
"Well I have a child Jazmine, and no guy wants to take care of another mans baby."
"Cindy you forgot who we are talking about, Caesar would not mind taking care of you and Kevan. doesn't he already do that?"
I thought about it and I realized she was right. Caesar always took care of me no matter what and when Paul was not there I would call him and he would help me no matter what.
"Your right Jazmine how could I have been so stupid."
"Tell him."
"But what if he does not feel the same as me?"
She sighed and then spoke.
"I had the same problem once aswell, but we ended up dating for three years. The point is you will never know unless you try Cin."
Jazmine's words of wisdom how I missed them.
"Jazmine I understand why you became a therapist."
She laughed.
The waiter came back with our food.
"Lets eat I'm starving." She said as she dug in.
"So you sure you can get the rest of the day off?" I asked her as we walked around the small shopping area.
"Yeah, Sheryl said I had no more appointments. It's girl time!" She said as she laughed and linked arms with mine.
"Now let's go shopping!"
She led me into a small clothing shop. I have to admit Jazmine dresses quite fancy now, she's not the same girl who wore a simple T and jeans.
"Look at this dress, what do you think?" She asked me.
"Try it on."
She walked into a fitting room and two minutes later she came out.
"You like it?"
"It looks amazing on you, you should get into the modeling business with me."
"No thanks I'm good."
She looked really great, the dress was a light yellow and it matched her caramel complexion perfectly. It was long and frilly.
"You should get it." I told her.
"You think so?" She said as she looked herself in the mirror.
I nodded.
"Ok I'll get it."
We paid for the dress and went to a different store.
"Your sense of fashion has truly changed." I said.
"So has yours, you always wore jersey's and baggie jeans and look at you now. Wearing a dress."
I laughed.
"True."
"I missed hanging out with you Cin."
"I did too Jazzy."
The day passed by and it was pretty late now.
"You should stay at my place so you can leave tomorrow morning."
"I don't know, Paul would probably kill himself if he had to stay one more day with Kevan."
"Cindy that's his son, he needs to suck it up and be a man and a father."
"So come on stay at my place its to late for you to drive all the way to New York."
I thought about it and she was right I could not be driving at this time.
"Ok I'm going to go get my stuff, you want to come?"
"Yeah, I have not seen Caesar in a while."
We drove all the way to Caesar's apartment.
"Hey Cindy welcome back."
"Hey Caesar." Jazmine said as she walked in after me.
"Jazmine long time no see, how's it been?"
"exhausting but I manage."
"I'm staying the night at Jazmine's house and leaving in the morning." I said as I grabbed my things from Caesar's bedroom, he let me use his room while he stayed on the couch.
"So this is goodbye." He said as we stood right in front of the door.
"No it's not Caesar, I will see you soon." I said as I hugged him tightly.
"Bye Cindy." He said.
I walked outside where Jazmine was waiting on me.
"Bye Caesar." She said as she waved at him.
He waved us goodbye.
I sat on Jazmine's bed clad in my PJ's. Jazmine laid next to me reading the same document in the manilla folder as this morning.
"What is that?" I asked.
"Oh It's nothing." She said as she closed it and put it on her dresser.
Haki came into the room and jumped on the bed aswell.
"You couldn't resist could you? You saw a room with two beautiful women and you had to stop by, right Haki." I said as I pat his head.
"He's a lady's man." Jazmine said while laughing.
"Cindy I might not be able to say my goodbyes tomorrow morning so let me tell them now."
She hugged me.
"Take care and I wish you the best, I always did."
I was about to start crying.
"Thanks Jazmine, I'm going to miss you a lot." I hugged her tightly.
Jazmine was like the sister I never had and I'm happy we resolved this mess even if it took two years to do it.
"Goodnight Cin."
"Goodnight Jazzy."
She shut off the light and we both dozed off.
I woke up in the middle of the night since I had to go to the restroom. As I walked I must have hit the dresser causing the folder to fall over. I picked it up and involuntary read its content.
Huey Freeman
Age: 21
Reason: Drugs
I kept reading, even though I knew it was none of my business.
"Don't tell him please." Jazmine said startling me.
"What is this Jazmine? Huey did drugs?"
She sighed.
"It's a long story."
"And I have time."
Jazmine told me everything about Huey and his drug use.
"I can't belive this. Why would he do such a thing?"
"That's what I'm trying to figure out. He does not know that I have a profile of him, he thinks I just keep a small journal of his progress."
"I see, don't worry I won't tell."
"Thanks Cin."
I woke up the next day. Jazmine was already gone, probably to work. I grabbed my stuff and packed the rest. I grabbed a note-book and tore a sheet of paper from it. I wrote her a small note and out the door I went.
Thanks for everything Jazmine.
I love you and miss you, no homo.
-Cindy.
