HAPPY NEW YEAR YOU GUYS!
I finally was able to upload chapter two. Sorry about the delay but I was having so much trouble uploading it. I'm still not used to this website but no worries I'll get used to it soon :)
Last Chapter: Huey was home sick with the Flu and Jazmine had taken it upon herself to take care of him. In the last chapter, she nearly choked him with a thermometer, what's the worst she can do in this chapter? Read and find out (Corny intro I know but I couldn't resist :P )
Disclaimer: I don't own the Boondocks or the references made here either. I just own the plotline
Part 2
22 minutes later…
I was sitting up in my bed reading a book when there was a soft knock on the door.
"Huey?" Jazmine said softly as she opened the door
"You can come in Jazmine, I'm awake" I said blankly
"Oh goody" She said with a big smile "I brought you a glass of orange juice to cool you down" She came over to my bed and handed me the glass
"Thanks Jazmine" I said as I took the glass from her. I proceeded to drink the juice, but immediately spit it out
"Gah, Jazmine!" I said in disgust
"What's wrong? It's just orange juice freshly squeezed"
"It's too sour"
"Really? Let me see" She said as she reached for the glass but I pulled away
"Are you stupid? What are you trying to do, you'll get yourself sick if you do that" I said irritated
She pulled back "Oh right"
I put the glass on the dresser and looked at the somewhat disappointed Jazmine
"And why'd you make orange juice anyway? There's like two cartons of it in the fridge"
Jazmine then turned away, looking a bit embarrassed "Oh…well…uh…I…uh…guess I didn't see it when I looked"
Before I could scold her for her stupidity, I sneezed
"Bless you" She said sweetly
"Thank you" I replied tiredly. I felt another sneeze coming on, so I grabbed my covers and then covered my nose and proceeded to go in to a sneezing fit. After six sneezes, my sneezing fit finally stopped. I put the covers down and sighed of relief. I went and grabbed a couple of tissues then started to blow my nose. While I was wiping my nose, I could hear Jazmine giggling
"What?" I said blankly
"Nothing" She said while snickering
I shrugged then went to grab another tissue and once again I heard giggling
"What!? What's so funny?" I said annoyed
"Nothing it's just, you look like a bunny" She said giggling
"Excuse me?" I said confused
"When you sneeze you nose wrinkles up like a bunny, you look like a bunny when you sneeze" She said sweetly with a smile
Seriously, what is wrong with this girl?
"Look Jazmine" I said sternly "I appreciate you coming here but I really just want to get some rest. So could you please leave me alone?"
"But Huey, there's still so much I have to do" She went over to her briefcase and began to unpack it "I have to read you a story, make you tea, rub vapor rub on your chest, make you some soup…"
My eyes widened in shock "Rub what on my what?" Jazmine didn't seem to hear me as she continued to ramble
"Jazmine" I called out to her, but she still didn't hear me "Jazmine!"
"What?" She asked innocently
"What did you just say?"
"I said that watching some videos could-"
"No before that" I said interrupting her "You said that you were gonna put vapor rub on… on my chest" I said awkwardly
She paused for a moment then gasped and immediately turned bright red at the reminder
"Oh… no, no I…I meant that you would put it on your own chest…and…and I would just give you the vapor rub" [Nervously laughs] "I…I mean we're 10, that…that would be weird right?" [Nervously laughs] "Me touching you, me putting my hand on your chest?" [Nervously laughs] "Really weird" [Nervously laughs]
As she continued to ramble on and on, I was feeling really uncomfortable with this entire conversation, so I quickly changed it.
"Jazmine" I said calmly
"Y…Yes?" She said nervously
"Look, since you're so eager to help me, I had some chores that I had to do today. Since I'm too sick to do them and you want something to do, maybe you can do them?" I suggested
"Yeah, that's perfect" She said eagerly with a smile on her face
"Alright then. Why don't you make me some tea and I'll write you a list of chores that have to be done"
"Sounds like a plan" She then made her way towards the door
"The tea packets are in the upper right cabinet" I said as I reached inside of the dresser for a notepad and pencil
"Got it, see you in a few" She said as she left the room
After several minutes, I finished writing the chores list and went back to reading my book as I waited for Jazmine to come back. When she finally did, she was holding a tray that contained a medium sized bowl and a mug.
"Hiiii" She said cheerfully "I got your tea and I even made you some soup" She put the mug on the table and then came over to me with the tray
"Oh, Jazmine you shouldn't have" I said calmly. She put the tray on my lap and I got a closer look at the soup "I mean really you shouldn't have" I said in a low and a bit irritated tone
She didn't pick up on the hint I was giving her as she maintained her cheery attitude. She took the spoon from the tray and handed it to me
"Eat up" She said with a bright smile
I hesitantly took the spoon from her then went back to staring at the so called soup. It was green, had white spots and it was bubbling. I dipped my spoon in it and took a spoonful of it and realized that it was really thick. As I poured it back in, I also noticed that it was really lumpy.
"I know you don't like meat, so instead of chicken soup I made you veggie soup" She said proudly
Veggie soup? I've seen vegetable soup before and I've even made it myself and it's never looked like this. This is not soup, it's not even close enough to being chowder. What the hell is this? It probably stinks too, but because my nose is stuffed up I can't smell anything (thank goodness). I can't eat this, I just can't. As I looked over at Jazmine she was still smiling but she was giving me the puppy dog look again. Damn it, I hate it when she does that. Whether she was happy or sad she always used that look to manipulate and get what she wants and for some reason I always fall for it. Why? I don't know. But if anything, the one thing that's more annoying than her puppy dog look it's her crying and I'm not in the mood to be dealing with that crap today. So I carefully dip my spoon in and take a little bit of… whatever this is and took a deep breath. I mean how bad could it be?
I put it in my mouth and started chewing, then immediately spit it out. Man this thing is nasty!
"What's the matter? You don't like it?" She asked sounding disappointed
Hell no I don't like it! This crap tastes and probably smells like feet and it's just plain nasty. But I couldn't tell her that cause she would just start crying, so instead I said.
"It's way too salty Jazmine" I said as I wiped my mouth
Jazmine's once happy expression was now a sad frown filled with disappointment
"I'm sorry Huey" She said sadly "But you still have your tea" She said perking up "Let me get it for you"
She went over to the table and grabbed the mug then began to make her way back to my bed. But being the klutz she is, half way near to my bed she tripped over her own two feet and fell to the ground but ended up throwing the hot tea on me and my bed
"Ah, Jazmine!" I yelled as I shook my now soaking wet arms and pajama shirt
It's a good thing that these pajamas are thick cause I would be burning right now
Jazmine immediately got up and came over to me
"Oh gosh, I'm really sorry Huey here let me clean you up" She proceeds to lift my sheets but unfortunately forgot that the thing she called soup was still on my lap and it ended up falling all over my bed.
"Jazmine!" I yelled irritated
"I'm sorry!" She said panicking a bit "Don't worry, I'll clean it up! I'll wash them!" She went to the other side of my bed then untucked my bed sheets then completely lifted them up, which caused me to fall out of bed and land on my side
"Ow! Jazmine!" I said even more irritated
"Huey!" She said in a concerned tone "I'm sorry!" She started making her way over to me "Let me help you up" She quickly came over, but she bumped in to the tray; which was hanging at the side of my bed; and it hit me in the face
"OW!" I cried out in pain
"I'm sorry Huey, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to!" She said rapidly in between hiccupping "I'm so sorry I…I..."
Oh no her eyes are getting teary and she's sniffling. She's about to cry, if I don't stop her now I'll never get her to shut up.
"Jazmine" I said calmly as I picked myself up
"Yes?" She said sniffling
[Sighs] "Look, I'll clean myself up and change the sheets. Why don't you work on the chores on the chores list" I opened the dresser and took out my notepad and handed it over to her. She wiped her face with her arm and took the notepad from me. She looks at it for a moment then looked up at me with a smile
"I can definitely do this" She say confidently "Don't worry Huey, I won't mess up this time"
Sure you won't
"That's great Jazmine" I said blankly "Remember, you don't have to do all of them just do the ones that you can"
"Right! I won't let you down Huey" She turns to leave then turns back around "Oh, and if you need more tea I made a lot so you can get more if you like"
"I'll keep that in mind" I said in an uninterested tone. She then turned and left the room.
I looked over at my now messy bed then looked down at my now wet and messy pajamas. I sighed and shook my head
What did I get myself into?
Normal POV
Jazmine had changed out of her nurse costume and in to her purple hoodie and blue shorts. She was standing in the living room rereading the chores list.
"This will be a piece of cake" She exclaimed confidently "I don't know what Huey is so worried about, I can do these chores, I got this. I'll show him, I'll show him that I'm a great nurse and a great helper. I mean how hard can they be?"
(A/N: Jazmine is not doing the chores in the exact order)
#7&8: Do Laundry and Fold clothes and put them in the dryer
Jazmine went over to the washing machine and dryer. She saw that there was a basket filled with clothes on top of the dryer then noticed that there was an empty basket in front of it. She pushed the empty one to the side and opened the dryer to find that it was filled with clothes.
"Oh I get it" She said in realization "The clothes I'm supposed to fold is here and the one's I'm supposed to wash is up here. Well that's not too bad" She then closed the dryer then grabbed the clothes filled basket and managed to put it on the floor despite the little bit of struggle.
"Gosh that was heavy" She took a breath "Okay, I've seen mommy do it a few times now what's the first thing she does?" She pondered for a moment "Oh yeah, separate the whites" She then began to toss out half of the clothes as she searched for the white clothing. As she emptied out the basket she soon realized that there was no white clothes.
"Alright, next put all the clothes in the washing machine" She said sweetly. She started to pick up all of the clothes from the floor then threw them in to the machine. After putting all the clothes in the washing machine she then grabbed the detergent.
"Okay, now it's time for soap, but I forgot how much mom would put though. Maybe the instructions are on here" Jazmine looked at the container then began to turn it around in an effort to find the instructions but nothing "Hmm…no instructions, oh well" She then removed the cap and began to pour the detergent in. When she finally stopped the container was empty.
"There that should do it" She said while closing the washer "The clothes are gonna be super clean now" She then pressed "Start" and the machine started to work "Okay, now the folding"
She went over and began to unload the dryer and put all of the clothes on top of it then began to neatly fold the clothes and put them in the basket. After folding eight shirts and six pairs of pants, Jazmine began to feel restless.
"Man this is boring" She looked up at the large pile of unfolded clothes that were still on the dryer "This'll take forever and I got a lot of stuff to take care of" She pondered a minute then stood up "Y'know what, I'll just speed up the process"
She then began to partially folding the shirts then just rolling them in a ball then threw them in the basket, then did the same thing with the pants. After only two minutes, there were no more clothes to fold
"Phew, finally" She took out the list and a pencil and crossed out the two chores "That's two down, now its time to do the other stuff" She happily left the laundry room.
#5: Dust the Livingroom
Jazmine used the duster to dust off the pictures and the other trinkets on top of the fireplace. After wiping the coffee table & the TV, straightening the magazines on the coffee table and fixing up all the pillows on the couch, she went and grabbed the vacuum.
"Okay now where's the "ON" button" She looked around the vacuum "Oh here we go" She flipped the switch and started to push the vacuum. She struggled at first but she managed to easily do it. Feeling that she missed a spot (despite passing the vacuum several times already), she stopped the vacuum and grabbed the hose. She tried testing it out first but it wasn't sucking. Then realized that the vacuum had to be switched with the hose. She managed to find the switch and turn it on but forgot that she was holding the hose a bit too close to her hair and well…
"What the!? Ah! Ow! Ow!" It ended up sucking her hair (specifically one of her afro puffs). The more she tugged, the more it sucked and the more it sucked, the more it hurt. Eventually, Jazmine was finally able to pull the hose off of her hair, leaving behind a messed up puff. She sighed of relief, then began to clean the missed spots with the hose. All seemed to be going well until the hose abruptly stopped.
"Huh?" She exclaimed in confusion as she shook the hose
Now it didn't take a genius to figure out that there was something stuck in the hose. So Jazmine shook the hose in an attempt to remove whatever that object was but no luck. She then flipped the switch on the vacuum and…
[BOOM]
The hose shot out something and the impact was so powerful the blow had pushed Jazmine back a bit. Jasmine immediately turned off the vacuum all together. When Jazmine looked up she expected to see the object that was blocking the hose but instead she was shocked to see that there was dust and grime everywhere. It was all over the recently cleaned couches, the coffee table, everything.
[Gasp] "Oh no!" She screamed. She frantically tried to turn on the vacuum but it wouldn't start. She repeatedly flips the switch but nothing "Oh no!" She screams again as she continues to flip the switch "No, no, no!" She continues to flip the switch but still nothing which caused Jazmine to freak-out even more. Panicking and feeling a bit stumped, Jazmine runs over to the coffee table and starts to quickly wipe off the dust with her bare hands. Which pushed all of the dust & grime on to the floor. She then began to do the same thing to the couch.
#3: Wash the dishes
Jazmine stared at the mountain pile of dishes that were in the sink.
"I can't wash all of those by myself, that would take all day" She said sadly but then immediately perked up "Wait a minute, don't the Freemans have a dishwasher?" She began to scan the room until she found it "Yes!" She ran over to it "Perfect they do"
She opened the door then went back over to the sink to grab some dishes then started loading the dishwasher. Once the dishwasher was loaded, Jazmine reached for the dish soap and poured a ton of it in the soap container and all over the dishes. She then closed the container and the dishwasher door and pressed the "Start" button and listened for it to do its job but nothing happened. She pressed the button again but nothing. She then opened the door and pressed the button and still nothing. She then began to press all of the buttons randomly and other than a blinking red light, nothing happened. Which caused the once optimistic Jazmine to become agitated.
"Oh no" She began to quickly press all the buttons and repeatedly turned the dial back and forth "No, no, no, nooo!" She continued to frantically push buttons.
#10: Mow the lawn
Jazmine was in the garage with the door wide open staring at the chores list then she looked over at the lawnmower.
"Okay, so I might of broken the vacuum and the dishwasher" She said sounding a bit stressed "But at least I managed to finish all the other stuff. I finished the laundry and the Livingroom…kind of and I even managed to make a snack for later. Plus, I've seen Huey do this all the time so it won't be so bad" She said regaining her confidence.
She began to push the lawnmower outside to the front lawn. However, unlike the vacuum cleaner the lawnmower was a lot heavier. So pushing it to the lawn was not very easy to do. When she first pushed the lawnmower it didn't move an inch, but with a little more force (which for Jazmine was a lot as she was struggling and sweating every step of the way) it started to move and she was successfully able to get to the center of the front lawn.
"Phew" She sighed as she wiped the sweat off her forehead "Alrighty, now where's that starter thingy" (starter handle) She scanned the mower until she spotted it "There it is" She said sounding victorious. She then grabbed the starter handle and pulled. The engine started then failed. She gave another good tug and again the engine failed. A third attempt and…nothing. Jazmine (now a bit frustrated) gave a bigger tug and…
[Sound of an engine running]
"Yes!" She exclaimed with a big smile on her face
The mower was vibrating and ready to be pushed, which intimidated Jazmine a bit
"Huey's done this a thousand times. I can do this" She took a breath then began to push the lawnmower (with all of her might) and it was quite a struggle. As she pushed, the mower began to do its job and cut the grass but it made it more difficult to push as it made the mower feel heavier. Jazmine did the best she could in pushing the mower but (even though she refused to admit it) it was just too much for her. While being only 2ft away from her starting point, the mower stops.
"Oh c'mon!" Jazmine walked in front of the mower and bent down to see the problem. When she couldn't see anything she became frustrated and went back to her original position and started kicking the machine.
"Stupid! Stupid machine!" She screamed with every kick "Why" [Grunts] "Is this" [Grunts] "Happening" [Grunts] "To" [Grunts] "Me!?"
She continues to kick it but harder. However unbeknownst to the young mulatto the machine she was kicking was actually a Wuncler prototype of an automatic lawnmower. So when she gave it a hard kick, she accidently ended up activating the autopilot.
"Huh?" She said in confusion as she heard an engine running and felt her foot (which was still on the machine) vibrate. The machine then started to move forward on its own, causing Jazmine to lose her balance and fall forward and land in the very moist lawn causing her hands and clothes to be covered in mud. The machine continued to move forward only to be stopped by the side fence, but it continued to run. Jazmine looked down at her now muddy hands and hoodie then angrily looked at the machine.
"Dumb Machine!" She cried out angrily
At almost on que, the machine started to run against the fence then turned on its right and headed straight for Jazmine.
[Gasp] "Oh my gosh, it heard me! It's alive!" Jazmine quickly picked herself up and ran away "Help! Huey! Somebody! Anybody help! This things alive and its trying to kill me! HELP!" she screamed in terror as she ran away with the "zombie" lawnmower right behind her.
Meanwhile….In the Livingroom
Huey's POV
I haven't seen or heard from Jazmine since she left my room with the chores list after single handedly destroying my room. Since then I changed the sheets on my bed, then changed into a black t-shirt and a pair of checkered pants and I even managed to get a quick nap. Once I woke up, I came downstairs to stretch my legs and to see what Jazmine was up to but Jazmine was nowhere to be found. I have no idea where she is or what she's doing but I do know that she's definitely been busy. Before resting on the couch, I checked in on some of the stuff I told her to do on the chores list. I checked the laundry room and she did put the clothes in the washing machine like I told her to do but the clothes I told her to fold were a mess. She folded them but just barely. Most of the clothes were rolled up in a ball and the rest didn't even make it to the basket. Then I checked in the kitchen and saw that she chose to put all the dishes into the dishwasher instead of just washing them by hand.
I tried pressing the "Start" button but nothing happened.
She put the dishes in here despite not knowing how it works and now its frozen and won't even work. Even though it might be broken, I don't think it's a good idea to leave it wide open. However despite this, I left it the way I found it. I even managed to taste her so called "tea" and it was awful. I don't think Jazmine even knows how to make tea as it appears that all she did was open the tea packet and put it in water then heated it up and called it tea. So honestly I don't think I can even call it tea. As for vacuuming the Livingroom, I can tell that she did do that but she obviously didn't know what button to press as the Livingroom was covered in dust, dirt and grime. Well the left side of it anyway, it didn't reach the right side which is why I was resting over here. I definitely have to clean all of that up before Granddad gets back, it honestly looks like the vacuum cleaner threw up.
[Groans]
Speaking of throwing up, my nausea had come back with a vengeance. My stomach was seriously churning. I sat myself up, hoping it would ease my nausea
[Groans] It didn't work.
What I was watching wasn't helping either. I was watching "Maury". The only reason why is because I couldn't find the remote and I didn't feel well enough to keep walking up to the TV to change so I just left it. On today's show or what was on every show was another black woman trying to prove that her ex is the father. She was overweight, had on a long, black and terrible looking weave, she had on purple lipstick and wore clothes that barely fit her, not a stereotype at all [shakes head]. Her ex was your typical "baby daddy". Scrawny, probably high but just another dumb stereotype of a black man.
On TV 'I know he the daddy Maury! I know he is! I ain't never been wit' nobody else but him! He's a low down dirty dog fo' thinkin' I'm some hoe. I AIN'T NO HOE! I AIN'T! He is the baby daddy and he knows it!'
"Alright, alright" Maury said calmly "Now Deshawn, do you have anything you want to say?"
"Yeah, I got somethin' I wanna say, that kid ain't mine. I been wit' her once and I ain't leave her wit' no baby. I ain't that kind a nigga. Imma loyal nigga, I'm the type of nigga that claims what's mine, I ain't the type of nigga that leave you high and dry. I ain't the baby daddy"
"You a lyin' ass motha[BLEEP]"
"I Ain't the Baby Daddy Tameka!"
"You is and you know it!"
"We don't even have the same hands!" He holds up his hands "Look, every man in my family has big hands and big pinkies, that boy got tiny ass hands. How the hell could he be mine!?"
"Cause he got it from me. He got my nice, soft hands instead of your ugly monkey paws. He's yours, you dumbass motha[BLEEP]. He's your [BLEEP] kid! You a punk ass motha[BLEEP] for bringing me to this god[BLEEP] show just to prove it. You a real piece of [BLEEP] y'know that".
"That kid aint mine Tameka!"
"You is the god[BLEEP] baby daddy!"
"I told you I aint!"
"YOU IS!"
"I AINT!"
"YOU IS!"
"I AINT!"
They continued to argue with the crowd roaring of excitement until Maury intervened
"Alright! Alright! That's enough!" They both stopped and turned to Maury, but both continued to mumble under their breaths.
"We have the DNA results right here" Que the suspenseful music. "In the case of 2yr old Travis Alan, Deshawn Hudson you…" The couple braces themselves
"Are the father" A roar of screams flood the entire studio
"Yes! I told you! I told you, you were the baby daddy!" Tameka screamed happily
The screams continue
Back with Huey
Oh great another dead beat [Gags]… dead beat [Gags]. Okay I'm getting that sick feeling again, I gotta get to a bathroom, fast. I quickly tossed the blankets covering my feet, then started to make my way to the downstairs bathroom. As I quickly left the Livingroom with my hand covering my mouth, I bumped into Jazmine. I immediately put my hand down and swallowed the liquid that was burning my throat then looked at Jazmine. I stared at her in shock that she was a complete mess. From her hoodie to her sneakers, she was covered in mud and some grass. Some of it was even in her hair and on her face.
"Hi Huey" She said cheerfully "Hey, are you okay? You look a little green" She asked sweetly
"I'm fine" I lied "But never mind me, what happened to you? Why are you covered in mud?"
"Oh that" She giggled nervously "I kinda had a little trouble with the lawnmower. Um Huey, did your Granddad pay a lot of money for that lawnmower?"
"Why?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow
She looked even more nervous "Well…I think it might be broken"
[Sighs] "Jazmine, I told you before you didn't have to do…all…of…the…"
[BLEEEECCHHH]
And out the burning liquid went, on the floor….and on Jazmine.
She screamed. The both of our eyes widened as we looked on in horror at what just happened.
"Jazmine…I…" [Gags] Before I could continue, more of the burning liquid came up. I immediately covered my mouth with my hand then dashed up the stairs & headed towards the bathroom leaving a grossed out and probably traumatized Jazmine. When I made it to the bathroom, I closed the door and began to release the contents of my stomach.
Jazmine's POV
"AAAHH! HE THREW UP ON ME! HUEY THREW UP ON ME! I'M COVERED IN THROW UP! EW! EW! EWWWWWWWW!"
I was freaking out and was completely grossed out. I quickly ran in to the kitchen and grabbed a whole lot of paper towels from the rack. As I wiped myself, I started to calm down. When I finally got the vomit off of my hoodie, I was completely calm. I took a bit more from the rack then went to the hallway a put the paper towels on top of Huey's "mess". Then I stared up at the top of the stairs and thought about Huey.
"Poor Huey" I said aloud "He's really, really sick" I was about to go upstairs and check on Huey when all of a sudden I heard something, it was a rattling sound. It sounded like someone was shaking something really hard.
[Gasp] "The Washing Machine! I Forgot About The Clothes!" I immediately got up off the floor and then ran to the laundry room. I opened the door and was shocked to see that the entire room was covered in suds and water, the washing machine had overflowed. I went in and got caught in the tide of suds. Maybe if I could find the plug and unplug the washing machine, maybe all of this could stop. But the suds were getting bigger and bigger and it kept coming to my face and some of it was even getting in to my eyes, which kind of blinded me a bit. Halfway towards the washing machine... or at least I think I was half way there,
[Gasp] "Oh No The Clothes!"
I forgot that I left the folded clothes in here right next to the washer, meaning the clothes were somewhere in this pool of suds. So I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath and dived in to the suds and felt for the clothes. I kept my eyes closed and was feeling for the clothes but nothing I couldn't feel anything and because I couldn't see, I had no idea how close or how far I was and to make matters worse I was running out of air. Finally I felt the basket then quickly grabbed it and came up from the pool of suds and quickly made my way out of the laundry room then closed the door and gasped for air. I was out of breath but I didn't care, all I was worried about for the moment was the clothes. However what I was worried about had happened, all of the clothes that were dry before were now soaking wet and covered in suds. I frantically started taking out the clothes hoping I'd fine at least one of them dry, but as I was searching I smelled something. I stopped for a minute and started sniffing the air, it smelled like smoke, was something burning? Worried, I ran to the kitchen as fast as I could, not realizing that I still had two of the soaked shirts in my hands. I passed by the dining room and ran to the hallway where I slipped and fell flat on my face.
"Ow…" I was in pain but managed to get pick myself up half way but paused after I felt something moist on me. I figure it might have been from when I was in the laundry room. I turned and looked down and…
"EWWWWW!" That wasn't water or suds that I was feeling, it was Huey's throw up, EWWWWW and it was on my leg. But before I could be grossed out any more, I looked up and saw smoke. Despite having "IT" on my leg, I ran in the direction the smoke was coming from.
Huey's POV
I was brushing my teeth for probably the third time today. My nausea had gone away but I was still feeling a bit dizzy. After rinsing my mouth out, then splashing water on my face and then drying it with a towel, I looked up and stared at myself in the mirror. I honestly looked worse than before, my cheeks and nose were a lot redder, the bags under my eyes were darker and I just looked clammy. Despite how I looked or felt the only thing that was on my mind at the moment was Jazmine. My God, I can't believe I threw up on her, how humiliating and knowing her she'll never let me live this down, [Sighs]. I headed for the door and was still lost within my thoughts. Man I probably traumatized her. I bet she's probably down stairs right now freaking out and scrubbing her hoodie like crazy just to get the vomit out and just crying her eyes out as usual. I prepared myself for whatever crying or screaming session Jazmine could dish out and then left the bathroom. As I approached the stairs I saw smoke, which confused me. I looked up at the fire alarm and it was just blinking as usual and wasn't making any kind of sound. I figured that since it was just another Wuncler item, it was typical that it would be like this. However, since I was still congested and couldn't tell whether or not something was burning, I had to be sure so I followed the smoke and made my way down stairs. Once down there I saw a pile of paper towels that was soaked in the "mess" I made earlier pushed to one side then saw footprints of my "mess" heading towards the Livingroom. I followed them and the smoke to find that they didn't lead to the Livingroom, it was to the kitchen. When I got to the kitchen, I felt that my socks were soaking wet. I looked down and was surprised to find that there was water everywhere and some of it had even made it to the Livingroom. Before I could react I heard Jazmine scream. I came in closer to find out why she screamed and I even found the source of the smoke, it was the toaster, the toaster was on fire. Jazmine was standing there looking terrified as she stared at the blaze holding a small bowl. I ran over to her
"Jazmine, what the hell happened!?"
"I don't know! The toaster caught on fire! I tried to put it out with some water but the water only made it bigger! Huey I'm scared, I don't wanna die!"
My instincts kicked in and I ran out of the kitchen and back into the hallway (avoiding my "mess") and headed for the closet that I would often lock Riley in when he would be too irritating to bare. I opened and searched through the closet quickly and then I found the fire extinguisher. I ran back to the kitchen to find Jazmine still paralyzed with fear. I quickly removed the safety pin, squeezed the lever and started to put out the fire with the white foam that had sprayed out. After a few seconds, I stopped the extinguisher as the fire was finally out and the only thing that was left was the blackened toaster that was covered with the white foam along with the counter that was dripping of that white foam. I put the fire extinguisher down and tried to catch my breath. All my adrenaline was gone and I was back to feeling exhausted and crappy. I looked over at Jazmine who was also trying to catch her breath (which I don't know why since she hasn't moved once), and felt the anger immediately build up.
"Jazmine" I said in a low but very stern and angry tone, which startled her as she flinched "What did you do? Why did the toaster catch on fire?" I said a bit louder
"It was an accident" She mumbled tearfully
"What?" I asked not hearing her
"It…it…it was an accident" She said a little louder
"What did you do, did you throw water on it or something?"
"No! I...I wanted us to have a snack for later. I was getting hungry and I thought you might be too queasy or something and you wouldn't be able to eat anything heavy so I thought maybe we could have some toast" She said quickly before putting her head down in shame "But I ended up forgetting that I was supposed to keep an eye on it and well…it caught on fire" She said nervously
"Jazmine, how could you forget to check on it!?"
"I was trying to handle all the chores and get them done sooner!"
"YOU COULD HAVE BURNED THE HOUSE DOWN! NOT TO MENTION, ALSO KILLING THE BOTH OF US!" I actually yelled
"I'M SORRY! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT" She yelled back
"Are you kidding me Jazmine!? How stupid can you be!? You could of killed us!" I said in a slightly lower but still loud tone
"I'm so sorry Huey!" She said tearfully
"And how do explain all this water that's on the floor!?" She looked down then looked back up but avoided eye contact
"Well… that came from the dish washer"
"Jazmine!"
"I'm sorry! I tried to make it work, I really did but it wouldn't work! I tried to see what the problem was that's why I opened the door and I didn't see anything and it still wasn't working! I didn't know that it was going to spray water all over the floor!" She said rapidly "But I did manage to stop it, I turned it off before it could make it in to the Livingroom" She said trying to sound a bit positive
"The water already made its way to the Livingroom" I said
"It did?" She asked sounding surprised
"Yes" I said blankly
"Oh…" She said sounding sad again
"Unbelievable" I said in an annoyed tone as I pinched the bridges of my nose
"HUEY I'M REALLY SORRY!" She blurted out tearfully "I didn't mean for any of this to happen! I didn't mean to start a fire, I didn't mean to break the toaster, or the vacuum or the dishwasher or the lawnmower! I didn't mean to flood the Livingroom or the laundry room, I really didn't…"
I looked up at with maintaining my usual facial expression but I was in shock by what she had revealed
"You flooded the laundry room?" I asked blankly
She hesitated "Y…Yes"
"Is that why there's some of the laundry in here" I said looking down. She followed my glare and saw that I was referring to the shirts that were on the floor. She quickly picked up one of them and nervously held it as she avoided looking at me.
"Oh…yeah….I kinda forgot that they were in my hands when the fire started"
[Sighs] "Unbelievable" I said sounding even more annoyed
"I'm really-"
"How stupid are you!?" I said angrily
She whimpers in response
"So far you've destroyed a bedroom, a laundry room, the Livingroom, the kitchen and to top it all off you nearly burned all of it to the ground"
"I….I"
"How the hell am I gonna explain all this to Granddad, Jazmine!?" How do I explain to him that half of the electrical appliances are broken? Or how he left his house in perfect shape and then came back to find it a complete disaster. How do I explain that to him Jazmine!?"
"I…I'm…I'm sorry" she said tearfully. She was finally crying now, but I didn't care and continued to scold her.
"You're sorry, is that all you can say? What are you a broken record? Gosh you're so stupid, you couldn't follow directions and you couldn't even do the simplest chores. " She put her head down and continued to cry quietly "All I wanted was to get some rest but I can't have that now, can I Jazmine? Because now I have to spend all of my time cleaning up your mess, all of them" I said sternly
She finally looked back up at me with her eyes still filled with tears
"I'm really, really sorry Huey. I just, I just wanted to help" She squeaked. I approached her.
"You really wanna help? You really want to do good?" She was trembling a little "Go away and leave me the hell alone" I said coldly
I then snatched the shirt from her, which startled her and caused her to step back a bit. I was about to pick up the other one when all of a sudden my vision blurred. I shook my head and it returned to normal. I bent down and grabbed the shirt and came back up but felt incredibly dizzy. My vision then blurred again and once again I shook my head and it cleared, but my dizziness worsened and I was starting to feel a bit weak in the knees. Nonetheless, I started to walk out of the kitchen then midway my vision blurred again and my dizziness worsened as well which stopped me in my tracks. I closed my eyes and put my hand to my head (not realizing that I dropped one of the shirts) and tried to regain my composure. I felt my hand trembling, so I reopened my eyes to see that it wasn't only my hand that was trembling, my entire body was trembling. It was as if my body was struggling to keep itself up. I started to take deep breaths as I was starting to get lost in my thoughts.
"Huey?" A small voice said, snapping me out of my daze "Are you okay?" I turned around to look at her. My vision was still blurred and I saw that there was three of her and all three of them were spinning. I felt myself wobble a bit but I quickly regained my composure…kind of.
"I…I'm fine…I'm fine Jazmine…just…just stop spinning"
"Spinning?"
I then turned back around and shook my head again and my normal vision came back, but the dizziness kept getting worse and I kept feeling weak at the knees, but despite this I kept walking. My vision then blurred again, I shook my head but the blurriness didn't go away. I shook my head again, and it only got worse. I paused a minute, tried to clear my vision again but it just kept getting worse.
"Huey?"
I suddenly felt my head pounding and my knees getting weaker and weaker until finally they gave out and the next thing I knew I hit the floor hard and I couldn't get myself back up, I felt completely numb.
"HUEY!"
I could hear Jazmine calling me, but her voice was fading along with my vision. My vision became more and more blurred until finally everything just went black…
Some chapter huh? To be honest there are some parts that didn't come out as perfectly as I planned but oh well. You feel bad for Huey but you really couldn't help but feel bad for Jazmine too. She really did have good intentions and she really wanted to help, but like that saying goes "Things don't always work out the way that you want them too". Plus, a person can only handle & do so much especially when your ten years old, and this is aimed at both Huey and Jazmine.
I really hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, what did you guys think? Let me know, b/c I value your criticism (as long as there not harsh) so read and review. Part 3/Conclusion will be up very soon.
So until next time, See ya'll later
Thnx for reading :D
