THAT HILL WE CLIMB
This is not the end, this is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm
Though the words sound steady something empty's within them
We say yeah with fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there
Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear
Until we dead it, forget it, let it all disappear
chapter 4
HUEY
SLAP!
Someone slapped me so hard that spit flew out of my mouth. I turned around ready to attack who ever hit me. But I stopped , seeing that it was Jasmine who had slapped me. She had tears forming in her eyes. I couldn't deal with hurting her emotionally and physical. I ran as fast as I could up the stairs to my room. Too bad Jasmine was right behind me.
As I entered my room with Jasmine hot on my tail, I saw my escape . My window was left open from this morning. I jumped out the window and grabbed the gutter. I then flipped myself onto the roof. Jasmine stopped and looked out the window knowing she could not follow me. I ran to the front of the roof and jumped onto the front yard. When I landed I tucked and rolled. Just as she was opening the front door I took off into the darkness of the night. I looked back just in time to see David pulling her back inside. That was really starting to annoy me.
JASMINE
David pulled me into the house just as I was about to go after Huey. I knew Huey was going to be mad, we should have went back for him.
When we walked back into the living room, we saw that Riley had gotten up off the floor . But Ceasar was still out.
"Aw shit, that fuckin hurt like a bitch. Why Huey got to be a bitch ass nigga and come beat our asses!"he yelled while rubbing his stomach
"Baby, you alright?"asked Sunshine while she was by his side.
"Yeah. Nothin broken, but I am going to have a big ass bruise. How David and Ceez?"he said
"Well David has a lot of bruises, both of his lips are busted, and he gonna have one serious black eye in the morning. Ceasar is still out."she informed him
"I can't wake him up !"Cindy yelled
"I got this. Yo Ceez, I think Diddy represent NYC better than Jay z!"Riley yelled
This instantly woke Ceasar up out of his unconscious state.
"Whoever said that is plain old stupid and deaf!" he yelled as he sat up."Man Huey was pissed. Where he at any way?"
"He ran off after I slapped him."I told them.
They all looked at me like I had just turned into Stinkmeaner.
"Awwww shit! Aint no one ever slapped Huey befo"Riley said
"Jasmine you crazy. But why was he mad any way?"asked Ceasar
"He mad because we left him t the mall and he had to walk home in the rain."I told them
"Man. Huey stay being a bitch."Riley said
"Come on guys, lets clean this mess up."Sunshine said
"Young Reezy don't clean up shit!"Riley yelled
"If you don't help us clean up, you won't get to see me in that outfit from Victoria Secret"she told him in a seductive voice
Just like speed lightin , Riley grabbed the got the broom and dust pan and started to clean up the broken glass and china. We all just started at him.
"What the fuck yall lookin at!Get to cleanin in this bitch!"he yelled at them
12 A.M.
"Finally , we are done."Cindy said falling onto the couch. It took 6 hours to clean the house and fix the crater in the wall.
"I guess yall staying her tonight."Riley said"Cindy and Ceez , yall got the couch. Me and Sunshine gots my room of course. David and Jasmine , yall got Huey's room since he aint here."Riley barely finished the last part as he dragged Sunshine up the stairs to his room with a smile on his face.
"Well goodnight yall."David said as we went into Huey's room.
As I sat on the bed he started to kiss me. I started to melt away.
"Baby I can't help myself."he said as he started to take off his shirt. "I want you so bad." he kissed me again. This was making me feel drunk.
"But baby , this is wrong. We shouldn't do this here." I told him
"Don't worry I brought protection"he said .
By now we are both naked under the covers. Huey isn't going to like this
HUEY
I have been walking around for a couple of hours now. I have gone through some of the other neighborhoods of Woodcrest. The rain has let up a little so that was kind of good. My mind was still thinking about what had just happened. Kicking their asses did help my anger a little. They will probably hate me for a while. I don't care , I just want to go home so I ca sleep. The rain has taken its toll on my body. My arms and legs feel like logs . I have a huge head ache from when Jasmine slapped me. Man can she slapped hard.
I'll talk to jasmine tomorrow. She is probably going to be mad and try to give me the silent treatment. But that doesn't last longer than a week and I could use the silence.
As I stepped onto Timid Deer Lane, I saw Cindy's escalade still in the drive way. I guess they were sleeping over. I opened the front door and saw that the house was cleaned. The glass and china was picked up and the wall was fixed. I also noticed Ceez and Cindy sleeping on the couch. I decided not to bother them.
I walked up the stairs and opened Riley's room door. He was sleeping with Sunshine in his arms smiling. I could care less about what he was smiling about. I figured that Jasmine and David went to sleep to her house. Man was I wrong.
I opened my room door to see two sleeping bodies in my bed. I was starting a little mad. I was wondering why they couldn't sleep in the guess room. That is when I remembered one of Grandad's myspace dates. Lets just say it was nasty.
I decide I would get some blankets out of my closet and go sleep in the den. As I stepped into the room , I felt something slippery under my shoe. When I lifted my foot , I saw a used condom. This put me back into ass whooping mood.
I flicked on the light which woke up David and Jasmine.
"What the hell?" he said as my fist collided with his jaw. He stumbled and fell onto the floor.
"What the fuck Huey?"Jasmine yelled at me. Then she saw the condom next to my foot. "Oh." . It didn't help that she was in her underwear and wearing one of my Malcolm X t shirts. David was only wearing a pair of boxers. Thank god they were not mine. David then tackled me into the wall which woke up everybody in the house. My reflexes became slow since I was starving and was out in the rain all damn day.
Riley and the gang busted through the door to see what was going on. This distracted David enough for me to tackle him to the floor. But he planted his feet in my chest and flipped me into the wall. I just so happened to hit a closed window. The window broke int o many glass shards below me.
As I hit the ground, I felt the glass shards embed themselves into the backside of my body. With what energy I had left , I fought through the pain and ran. As I ran, blood dropped onto the ground leaving a trail. But I still kept on running to the place I felt safest. The Hill.
I reached the hill just as I was about to collapse. With what the little strength I had left, I went to the backside of the oak tree and pulled myself onto the lowest branch. My body started to go numb from the pain as I lay back onto the tree. I then heard the sound of running towards the tree. I looked over and saw that it was Jasmine. I was a little relieved because she might care enough to help me. She was screaming something , but I started blacking out. I then saw David run up to her and convinced her to come back to the house. That was the last thing I saw before I blacked out completely.
JASMINE
I can't believe what just happened. Huey started fighting David because he found out we had sex in his room. I knew it was a bad idea. But the fight ended quickly when Huey was tossed out of the window. But when I looked out the window, he was gone. But he was injured because he had left a trail of blood. That is when I decided I had to find him.
I had to help him, he was my best friend and he was my first friend. He has done so much for me and I have done so little for him lately. I feel so horrible right now.
I ran out the front door to see the trail of blood going towards the hill. I had to hurry. I ran as fast as I could. But when I got to the hill , there was no sign of Huey and the blood stopped. I did the only thing I could think of. I screamed out his name.
"Huey! Huey please! I'm sorry for what happened! I should have known better!" I screamed as tears flooded my eyes.
Then David ran up the hill to my side.
"Baby please come back to the house."he told me
"i have to look for Huey."I told him.
"Don't go looking for him. He attacked me, Riley, and Ceasar. He could have attacked you and the girls.!"
"Huey would never do that. Or would he?"I questioned myself
I finally left with David wondering if I made the right choice. By the time we got back, the window had a plywood board over ti. The crew was demanding questions.
"What the fuck happened in this bitch?"asked Riley
"Well Huey got mad because me and David had sex in his room. Then he started to fight David and David tossed him out the window. Now Huey is gone"I told the crew tearing up.
"Hol up, hol up. Jasmine, you had sex!"Cindy said dying of laughter.
"It is not funny."I told her.
"Sorry, but you don't seem like the type to be puttin in some dirty work."she told me. I started to pout at her.
"Man wateva. Huey gon be okay. Now lets go back to bed. We gotta go grocery shoppin tomorrow cause they ain't no food in this bitch."Riley told us.
We all went back to sleep. But Huey was still on my mind. I wonder why I choose David over Huey. I forgot about it as I fell asleep.
10 HOURS LATER...
We were all dressed and ready to go grocery shopping. Riley was complaining about not having milk for his Fruity Hoops. So we left an hour earlier than planned. I wanted to make sure I got Huey some kiwis. He loved them things to death. As we left I saw Ceasar put something on the coffee table.
HUEY
I woke up to the bright sunlight in my eyes. I found out I was still in the tree on the hill. That meant that Jasmine never found me. That is when the events of last night started to come back to me. I decided I needed to go home.
As I moved I felt the glass shards cut deeper into my body. The pain was horrible. I got down from the tree and saw a horrific sight. There was a huge blood stain on the trunk of the tree. I walk as fast as I could back home. I didn't have much strength left. Hopefully when I got home Riley could take me to the E.R.
I made it home to see that Cindy's escalade was gone. I hope Riley didn't leave with them. I opened the door , I was hoping that the door being unlocked was a sign that he was home.
I walked into the living room to see a note on the coffee table.
'Yo Huey,if you are reading this then we are at the store.
I don't know whats wrong, but you have to straighten up
We can talk about this when we get back'
-love and peace
Ceasar
As I read that last sentence, I started black out again. But this one was different from the one earlier. This one was way stronger. I couldn't fight it anymore and I collapsed onto the coffee table , breaking it.
