THAT HILL WE CLIMB

CHAPTER 5

She had it all figured out
But she left me with a broken heart
Fucked around and turned me down
'Cause she didn't think I could play the part

But now the prom queen, the prom queen
Is crying, sitting outside of my door
See, you never know how
How everything could turn around

CHAPTER 5

JASMINE

Going grocery shopping really took my mind off the drama thats been happening lately. We got a lot of food since the Freeman house was completely barren waste land. It was going great until one kid had started to go crazy. He was yelling about marsh mellow candy and soda. I had all I could take of this crazy demon. I didn't have a belt to beat him with, so I picked up a can of green and threw it at the kid.

It hit him right smack in the back of the head. When he turned around and saw my face, he knew I meant business and he finally shut the hell up. Suddenly the people in the store started to clap for me. We finally made it to the checkout line after a hour and a half of shopping. The price came out to two hundred and eighty-three dollars. Man do I hate the economy. Huey says its all George Bush's fault. Thats when I remembered about Huey being hurt.

I rushed everyone into the car and we took off for home. I wanted to be there in case Huey showed up. As we grabbed the bags and entered the house, the site that awaited us would shocked the most cold hearted person. We drop the grocery bags as soon as we saw him.

Huey was laying on top of the coffee table. There was a lot glass in his back, arms, and legs. His shirt and pants had turned a dark red from him losing so much blood. I was the first person to react.

I ran to his side to see if he was alive. Thankfully he was still breathing,but he barely had a pulse.

"Someone hurry and call 911!" I yelled .

The ambulance finally came five minutes later. They lifted Huey onto the stretcher and loaded him into the back of the ambulance. He looked so dead and lifeless. It scared me more than when 9/11 happened. As I tried to get in the ambulance, David stopped me.

"Baby you don't need to go. Let Riley since he is actual family."he told me.

"Naw! Fuck that man. We all bout to go!" Riley yelled.

We all hooped into Cindy's car and followed the ambulance to the hospital. Once we were there they took Huey into the E.R. But they forced us to stay in the waiting room. It was about five hours until the surgery was finished and the doctor came out.

"Ok heres the deal. He is going to make a full recovery. He had a total of fourty-six cuts in the backside of his body ranging from three to ten centimeters deep. We have stitched him up and he is currently in resting." Doctor Martin informed us.

"Hey doc can we see him ?"Ceasar asked.

"Sure, but you can not speak to him since he is in a medical induced coma."

We entered the room to see Huey resting in a bed. He looked so peaceful but when he was going to wake up, there was going to be hell. Mainly because he had an iv in his arm. Huey has a fear of needles.

One time we went to go get our yearly flu shots and Huey freaked out. They stuck the needle in my arm first. He instant went white like a ghost. I didn't cry or nothing. It didn't even hurt that bad. Then when it was his turn, all hell broke lose. They had to get six male nurses to hold Huey down while they gave him his shot. End of flashback.

We got to stay for ten minutes, then they made us leave. I hope Huey would be alright. I feel like this is all my fault.

HUEY

I awoke in a strange room. I looked around and noticed that I was in the hospital. I don't like hospitals because there is always someone dying and lives being ruined. Well at least I got some treatment before I died. Someone must have found me.

I then notice the iv hooked to my arm. I dislike needles with a passion. You might think that a person who is skilled with a katana shouldn't be afraid of a needle. Well you are terribly wrong. A katana slices and cuts while a needle pierces and injections and unknown liquid into your body.

I ripped the iv out of my arm which caused the heart monitor to flatline. Next thing I knew, a gang of nurses and doctors ran into my room. They finally calmed down when they saw that I was alive and well.

"I'm sorry, but you have to keep this in your arm"said the doctor as he placed the iv back into my arm. I would have fucked him up but my body was still recovering.

They finally left after they saw that I was stable. They did tell me I was going to be released in three days. Man did those three days pass fast . No one even came visit me either. Man I was starting to think I had no one that cared about me.

When they finally released me , none of my friends came to pick me up. I decide to catch a cab. It was the worst ride I ever experienced in my life. The cabbie kept asking me if I knew any good fry chicken places. I swear people can not get any more ignorant . I was too tired to even respond.

The ride home cost me twenty eight dollars. I told him I would get the money from inside the house. He said I better come back with the money or he was going to shoot up my house. I gave him a "yeah right" look. Then he pulled out a 9 millimeter pistol from under his seat. I hurried as fast as I could move.

When I open the door I saw Ceasar and Riley playing call of duty. They didn't see me, so I went upstairs without making a sound. I hobble out the door still unnoticed by Riley and Ceasar. And they call themselves my brother and my best friend. I paid the cabbie and and went back inside.

Before I entered the house , I looked across the street to Jasmine's house. Her car was gone, so I figured she was with David. Seems like nobody cares about me getting out of the hospital.

I got Riley and Ceasar's attention the only way I knew how. As I entered the house, I slammed the door. This caught there attention.

"Who the fuck slammin the do in dis bithc!Huh?"Riley screamed from the living room. He and Ceasar

finally looked up to see me with my famous scowl on my face.

"Oh. Hey Huey,what are you doing here man. You ain't suppose to be out of the hospital for three days"Ceasar said.

"It has been three days!"I told them sternly.

"Oh, sorry about that."he said.

"Man I gots me a new whip."Riley bragged .

"What, you got another bike"I said sarcastically.

"Naw man, I gonna be rollin in that new cts-v. Ed got it fo me fo my birthday."he said.

"Your birthday aint for another three months."

"Man stop hatin Huey. Its all tricked out. It gots twentyfos on that hoe. Then it gots the alligator guts in it. And it got some other goodies too." he said with a smile on his face.

"Whatever. I am going to bed."I said as I walked up the stairs. Then I remembered what had happened in there, so I decided to go sleep in the den. I fell asleep on the foldout couch and had a dream about telling white people how Ronald Regan was the devil and Jesus was black.
