A/N: Shoutout to that one review, follow, and favorite I got! I didn't know if people were actually gonna like this. I feel like this story is starting off a little slow but it'll pick up in later chapters. I decided to do the next chapter even though its Christmas eve, I just wanna get the story started so I could at least have two chapters up. Without further ado, here's the disclaimer.

DISCLAIMER: you guys already know I don't own anything.


Chapter 2

"Riley. Riley? Riley?!"

Huey picked up a basketball from the bedroom floor and chucked it at his brother's head hoping he would wake up.

"Damn nigga! Watchu want?!"

"Wake up dumbass! You were supposed to be up thirty minutes ago! We're gonna miss our flight!" Huey yelled at him.

"I'll get ready when I wanna get ready damn! I'm Young Reezy I go when I wants to go," Riley replied.

Huey glared at him and left Riley's bedroom, yes RILEY'S bedroom. Granddad had finally been convinced to give each of them their separate rooms, which was good considering the amount of "hoes" Riley would bring to the house.

Huey sighed at the fact that Riley was such a pain in the ass to deal with, but that didn't mean he couldn't get granddad on his ass.

"Hey granddad," Huey said while walking down the stairs, "Riley said he's getting up when he wants to get up."

and that's all it took.

"That boy say what now?! Let's see if he says that again with my belt advancing on his behind!"

Huey shook his head at how easy it was to cause a nigga moment around here. He watched as granddad raced up the stairs, which was surprising for a man of his age.

Granddad wasn't getting any younger, but either way he was still the same person he always was, as was Riley. Even though at fifteen Riley got taller and developed more muscle all he really managed to do was get a criminal record and fill up that head of his with more ignorance. Huey knew that deep down he was smart, but that was rare to see.

At seventeen Huey didn't change much either, this being that he had reached a mature level by the time he was ten. What did somewhat change was his physical appearance. He had gotten taller, reaching 6'0", and more built also, but that's about it. He still had the same afro, same scowl, and same interests. There used to be a time in his life when smiles would threaten to come to his face, but that was a long time ago. Those were the times when Jazmine was around.

Huey didn't want to let himself think about that though, at least not right now when he could still chicken out about doing the one thing he was dreading. He was uncertain about going to Chicago because he knew she was there.

She makes me dread going back to my hometown he thought. This upset him even more.

Huey sighed and walked to the front door and picked up the bags to take to the car. He stepped outside to see Ceaser and Cindy walking up the street to his house. He was about to say hi to them when he heard a crash coming from inside the house. Huey turned his head to see granddad running after Riley whipping his belt around like crazy.

"Come here boy! You lucky I don't know that kumitee kumitim kumite (wah yah!) or I woulda been done with your black ass!"

"Ow! Aye! Hol' up granddad! Quit playin! I was abouta get up before you came into my room I swear!" Riley yelled running outiside for his life in only his boxers.

Ceaser and Cindy witnessing this started busting up laughing.

"Damn, I thought my mom waking me up by yelling at me was cruel," said Ceeze when he caught his breath,"ya'll on another level, you guys are gonna scare the white people."

Huey shook his head as he started putting the bags in Dorothy, his granddad's car.

"Aw c'mon big Hue you know that wanna make you laugh," said Cindy

Huey just looked at her. "Big Hue? You'd think I'd be used to your interpretations of urban culture Cindy."

Cindy snorted and crossed her arms, "Yeah well you'd think I'd be used to your sour ass already, but I guess I'm not. You need some light in your life nigga."

"Yo this isn't why stopped by!" Ceaser yelled before they would start arguing, "we came by to wish you a safe trip."

Huey arched an eyebrow at him. "Is that all you really came by to say?"

"Nah, we actually came by cause we nosy as fuck. We want you to keep us posted with what happens when you run into Jaz," he replied grinning.

Huey stood there blinking at him. "Thanks for your concern."

At this point Riley had stepped out of the house lugging his suitcase behind him and rubbing his sore butt now dressed and ready to go.

"Yo C-Murph! Ceeze! Wassup!" Riley said giving them dap.

"This video of you getting your ass whipped is about to be up, on Instagram nigga." said Cindy

This caused them to start cracking up all over again.

"Man listen here hoe-" Riley was cut of by granddad smacking him in the back of the head. "What did I say about cussing?!" he yelled.

Riley just grit his teeth and started walking to the car mumbling the whole way.

Ceaser then turned to Huey with a serious look, "So all bullshit aside man, what are you gonna do when you see Jaz again? You know she's cool with Aunt Cookie so you're bound to see her."

Huey sighed, "I honestly don't know Ceeze, I guess time will tell."

"Don't be so harsh on her Huey, when she left it messed all of us up and I'm pretty sure she was messed up about it too" said Cindy.

Huey nodded and said bye to them and got in the car.

One hour later...

Huey leaned back in the airplane chair and put in his earphones. He settled on Autumn in New York by Kenny Burrell and let his mind wander at this point.

He didn't know how he felt about seeing Jazmine again. She had totally fucked him over. She was one of the few people that he had trusted enough to let her get close to him. She was one of the few people he had greatly enjoyed being around in Woodcrest. She was kind and innocent, she would always listen to what Huey had to say no matter how horrible it sounded to her. He had yet to find a friend with those qualities that had an impact on his life like she did.

These mixed feeling he had about her were pissing him off, he didn't know if he was mad at her, even though it would be pretty stupid considering it's been five years. He guessed he was just disappointed. She left without saying goodbye and that hurt. What hurt the most was the empty feeling he got after she left. The last day he saw her she had said to him, 'Huey, you're the most amazing person I have ever met. I have faith that you will be something. I believe that you'll change the world as much as I believe in God himself'.

The old Huey would've told her that God didn't exist and some other raw facts that probably would've made her cry, but he didn't. At that moment something in him shifted. He had known these feelings were there all along, but before then he had been in denial.

When she left he found himself thinking about her a lot more than he used to and he realized he missed her. He hadn't missed anyone like that in a long time. Huey didn't know if the feelings Jazmine gave him would return when he saw her, but like he told Ceaser, I guess time will tell.
