*moonwalks* 100 reviews, Thanks so much. That's crazy this being my 1st story and everything, it's quite cool it got to 100. Don't stop now though, stay with it.
So in Honor of that another chapter. Yeahh I'm updating like I'm supposed to.
Reviews makes fanfiction spin, sooo with that being said. Do It :)
LovinHueyFreeman: Lmaooo now if I could start throwing yall into the story, shit would be a mess, Tom wouldn't make it. You're review made me laugh I loved it. Oh & Sasha did try didn't she ? compared to how she's been anyway, I thought I'd let her redeem herself a little. Plus I knowww, Jazmine hopefully should return to sanity in this chapter too. Huey has been through the damn motions, my dude needs a break and his goddamn woman. I plan to do one of the two in this chapter. Tom's bitch ass is back too. I'm relieved the whole letter thing was alright, I was a little worried I was making him a bit too vulnerable there but yeah I tried to just balance it a little, It aint like he's a robot and Jaz is his love so he can do that with her. Also to answer your question about the dudes blaming Tom. It's explained in this chapter.
AkiraHadassah: Awh thanks, I know generally she's alright but you know everyone has their days. And to answer your question, yeah my next story will be Boondocks based and be more centered around Huey and Riley, still got pairings in there though.
MissG2020 : Yay, don't worry about it, thanks for taking time out to leave me review anyway. It was nice to get the little message that you reviewed.
Nearly at the end now.
One day she's your little princess, next day she's talking boy business. What is this ?
Nas - Daughters
The door knocked, Tom jumped a little. He had not yet been round to the Freeman house but at the same time he was probably not even welcome there. Jazmine still wasn't saying much to him but she was at least acknowledging him a bit more now. She'd been up in her room with Beyonce playing most of the morning. He wasn't really sure what she was doing but he didn't miss the fact that she didn't go to see Huey. He understood he was acting crazy, before and it wasn't to say he was happy about their relationship because he wasn't. He just found it strange that at first mention of it yesterday she was practically flying out of the house and then nothing. He clasped his briefcase shut and walked out of the kitchen and upstairs to see his daughter.
"Jazmine" Tom called; the music was maybe a little too loud so he opened the door. Jazmine was at her vanity peering into the mirror. She looked behind her expectantly, the air tightened in the room but the music continued to play.
"I'm going to work" she pulled a face when trying to decipher exactly what he was trying to say. She continued to looked at
"Ok" she replied, then turned back to her mirror. Tom sighed in defeat; it was true that raising girls was a much harder task than boys. It just had to be, girls were just so. Ugh so complicated, then they became women.
"Jazmine I'm sorry" he said as he left her room.
"It's not me you should be apologizing to" she replied in a matter of fact tone. His body tensed for a moment. Why would she say that, did she know about Huey? He panicked for a moment. When she said nothing else he exited her room. Walking downstairs he felt a little anxious, what if Huey knew it wasn't an accident. What if he knew he helped set him up? Tom shook his head, Daniel promised not to make his involvement known, and he just wanted the kid to pay for hurting his son. That was all, Tom did nothing wrong, he simply pointed in the right direction. For all of Tom's rationing he didn't feel any better as he made his way out of the house and into his car. He sat in there for a second, licking his lips nervously. This couldn't backfire on him. He slapped himself in the face.
"You're being silly, you didn't do anything. You don't even know what happened' he turned his key in the ignition and turned on the radio, trying to block the thoughts of guilt entering his mind.
"Yo lemme use your laptop" Riley said barging into his room.
"No" Huey said plainly, Riley continued to make his way to his desk and picked up his laptop. Riley laughed
"Man you need to be humble, you a handicap right now" Huey, reached under his bed with his good arm and brought out his airsoft gun.
"I said no, get out of here" Riley glared at his brother
"I can actually kick your ass nigga" Riley told him
"Even with one arm, that couldn't be true" Huey told his brother, Riley took the laptop anyway and Huey shot him multiple times as he hopped around his room.
"Fuck you Huey, you stingy little" the next shot hit him square in the forehead and he fell out of his room. Huey got up calmly and closed the door. Ignoring Riley's screams and profanities, he resumed his position on his bed and finished off his meditation. It wasn't ideal having your arm banged up in a cast and then having a confrontational brother to fend off every hour of the day. He placed the gun back under his bed, and walked over to his window. He looked across at the Dubois residence noticing that neither Tom nor Sarah's cars were in the driveway. He was pretty sure Jazmine was in, it had just gone 11.30am and she was probably just waking up. He didn't even get how people could sleep past 8am let alone 11am. He heard a banging on his door, he groaned in annoyance. Riley just didn't know how to take a hint; he opened his door and was faced with his granddad.
"Oh" he said quietly
"Everything alright" Huey asked his grandfather. Robert didn't say anything at first
"How you doing son" he asked him, Huey was a little confused by this affection. They were men they never showed their emotions to each other, it was just a unwritten rule.
"I'm good granddad" he replied cautiously
"Was there something you wanted"
"No, I just wanted to say" his face held a contemplative look to it then it changed into a frown
"If you ever, in your goddamn life cause this much trouble again nigga I'm putting you in the army. You understand me, all that kill or be killed life you on. You can do that shit in IRAQ where they tolerate that shit. I mean you trying to be 'about that lifeee' as they say nowadays. Shoot got a nigga in and out of hospitals like some patient. I'm too old for this Huey, too old." His granddad was waving his arms, making gestures and doing voices he thought were cool in his a little rant.
Huey was relived he was just ranting, he could have smiled at the situation but he didn't he was caught off guard by the girl walking up the stairs.
"Oh hello little cutie pie, you can you drill some sense into this knuckle head" his granddad asked her in his most polite voice.
"Otherwise you gon have to skype his ass from Iraq" he added in there, Jazmine looked at his grandfather genuinely confused.
"Iraq, Mr Freeman there's war in Iraq" she said innocently and Huey couldn't resist rolling his eyes
"& There is war in my bowels" both Huey and Jazmine made faces of disgust at the revelation.
"Speaking of which, where's that boy. RILEY go to the store and get me my vitamin C"
"But Granddad" Riley yelled from downstairs. His grandfather did some weird shimmy thing, Huey assumed he was trying to reach for his belt but he just wasn't as smooth with it these days. His grandfather went down the stairs. Huey took a moment, to look at Jazmine while she looked at his grandfather still confused by the whole exchange. She looked nice, her hair was down in loose ringlets and she had on a small fitting black jumper with different coloured blocks in the middle. With a pair of jeans and black Nike high tops and she was holding a plastic bag with some things inside.
"Hey" he didn't notice her attention had come back to him and he dwindled a little between saying Hi back.
"I'm sorry I didn't come earlier, I was um. I was cleaning" she said quietly, her eyes never left his face and he kept his eyes locked with hers. He continued to stare at her, he wasn't sure what he wanted to say but he was pretty sure he wasn't trying to say it in the hallway of his home. He nodded towards his bedroom and walked in, she followed behind him and once she was in he closed the door. Jazmine stood in the middle of his room, similar to where they had their fight and she had hit him. She looked at the ground then up at him, then around at his room and back to him again.
"Are you going to say anything" she asked him, after a long silence. He considered it,
"I don't really know what to say" he admitted, she nodded at this.
"Are you ok" she asked, her voice was full of concern but Huey couldn't help but feel that this would have been so much better yesterday.
"Where were you yesterday" Huey asked, hoping he didn't give himself away.
"At home" she answered plainly, this annoyed him,
"Why"
"What do you mean why, I had things to do" Jazmine told him.
"Look, Huey. I'm sorry I don't want to fight anymore" she admitted, Huey took a deep breath as he looked at her hard. She didn't want to fight but told him she was at home casually as if he wasn't in a bad way.
"You had things to do, that the sort of shit you run when your man is down yeah" Huey questioned, she opened her mouth to say something.
"Everyone was here, even Sasha was here. I mean you gotta either not love or be a bitch not to have been here Jazmine" Huey told her bluntly.
"Huey, it wasn't like that. Ok Riley text me you were in the hospital, I was on my way out to see you and my dad tells me your in Chicago. So I figured ok I'll wait till you get home and then I don't know. I got scared" Jazmine admitted, her eyes pleaded with him to understand but he was focused on a little piece of information she let slide.
"I'm not a bitch"
"So you don't love me then" Huey asked in return. She gaped at his process of elimination.
"What did you dad say" he added in there, she shrugged obviously not wanting to talk about her dad at this point in time.
"Yeah, he said Mr Freeman was bringing you back" Jazmine said, Huey frowned
"Huey I do love you" she picked up from their last topic.
"Fucked up way of showing it" he told her matter of factly as he walked past her, she then went to touch him but ended up jabbing his right arm which was in the cast.
"Omg, sorry. Huey. Ugh I shouldn't be here. I'm leaving" she announced in a rush. Huey quickly turned back around. As she made her way to the door, he protested.
"Don't leave" he said quickly. She stopped and turned back to face him.
"You want me to stay" she asked in confusion, Huey sighed and sat on his bed.
"I don't want you to leave if we're still fighting" he told her. He heard her make a sound but he couldn't hear what it expressed exactly. He stopped looking at the ground and looked back towards her. She was in fact just taking a seat next to him.
"Ok" she said quietly, they were looking at each other, searching the other for something.
"I should have been there for you, I just got scared that you'd blame me and that it was my fault that this was all happening. Cos you wouldn't have even been in this mess if it wasn't for my dad and I just felt guilty for all the bad things happening. But that's not excuse for"
"Abandoning me" Huey finished for her, she squinted in hurt
"I didn't abandon you, Huey I"
"You weren't there Jazmine. I don't care whos fault it is. Shit happens alright, I got in it and got out of it"
"I know, I'm supposed to have your back like you have mine and I messed up. I was thinking about it too much" she told him sadly
"What were you thinking about" he enquired
"Just, I don't k now. Are you going to put yourself in harms way every time something threatens me or"
"I just protect the people I care about" He defended firmly
"Sasha said so"
"You know that though, don't you. That I will protect you"
"I think you'll be out of action for a while" she said gesturing towards his arm" He nodded in agreement.
"Do you forgive me" he asked her, her eyes lit up and he was relieved at this sight.
"Yeah" just like that he thought. This was the same girl kicking up a fuss last week about all sorts of things. Huey resisted the urge to shake his head at her, of course this was Jazmine. The all forgiving Jazmine, gosh. Why was this girls heart so big. It wasn't like he thought he was in the wrong but he just wished she was a little less faithful in human nature.
"Do you forgive me" she asked in return as he expected
"Nah"
"What, Huey !" Jazmine said in disbelief, he shrugged
"Yo you hit a nigga, then you all out neglecting me and shit and you think I'm cool with that. I just been jumped and dropped off in a different state. My arm is fucked and I've not got so much as a hug from your ass. Look, a Drake type nigga might tolerate that, but I'm not that nigga" Huey told her, Jazmine raised her eyebrow at Huey and then she smiled brightly.
"I know, and I love you for it" she told him, he rolled his eyes.
"Love, I don't want this love you're giving. I want a refund" he told her, Jazmine brought her hands up and held each side of his face, then one of her hand slid up into his hair while the other went onto his neck. Hmm Huey forgot how good her touch was.
"I'll be better, I won't ever not be there for you again and I'll be the first person you see should you get yourself into such a situation again" she told him lovingly. He looked at her sceptically, even though he was being captured by those green orbs once again.
"Forgive me" she asked in quiet baby voice. This is what he dreaded, her getting cute with him. Women.
"No" he said stubbornly, she pouted looking quite sexy as she did so.
"Fine" she muttered as she edged in closer to him
"You have a lot of making up to do" he informed her, she rolled her eyes a little.
"Shut up" she instructed boldly and kissed him thereafter. Huey felt like that was everything he had been waiting for as he searched for everything in that kiss. He used his left arm to circle her waist and pull her into him as she deepened the kiss. She broke away much before he wanted to,
"I'm so happy your okay" she whispered onto his lips.
"I'm a pretty strong dude" she giggled at his arrogant reply,
"I missed you so much and I'm sorry I hit you I didn't mean" she started but he cut her off
"Jaz, truce" he asked, she nodded
"Truce"
"Cool" he replied. She smiled at him, and gave him another kiss.
"Why's no one signed your cast" she asked, Huey gave her an incredulous stare. Of course, she out of everyone would be concerned about such a stupid tradition
"Ugh, spare me please. We just made up" he said as he lay down on his bed looking up at her. She placed a hand on his chest.
"What" she asked innocently
"You're mad" he simply told her. Her face twisted again in confusion
"I don't care what you say, I'm signing your cast" she more told him than asked. And just like that, they seemed to fall back into step with each other.
"Imma need you to go make me a sandwich" Huey suddenly announced after a few moments of peace.
"A what, excuse you" Jazmine made sure she was hearing him right
"I thought you were here to look after me" he added in, He opened his eyes and looked at Jazmine.
"Lucky you" she said, she got up sitting on the edge of the bed and he wanted to know why she was away from him now. she brought the bag she had been carrying onto her lap. He couldn't exactly prop himself up on his arm without causing himself some discomfort so he just waited.
"I got these for you, a book and some fruit" she told him.
"Thanks, I could really do with that sandwich though" he admitted, she turned back to him and he smirked.
"Fine" she left the contents of the bag on his bed. He glanced at the sweets that obviously weren't for him, the magazines weren't for him either. She asked him what he wanted and he told her and when she left the room, he was patientily waiting for her return.
When she was gone, the thing she said about Tom didn't sit well with him. That was because his grandfather had not actually spoken to Tom, since he had come back and he was pretty sure he had not spoken to him upon finding out that Huey was in hospital in Chicago. What else was perplexing was how did Tom know he was in Chicago if he didn't speak to anyone from his family about it.
Huey had been willing to chalk this last incident up to a coincidence. But he should have known better this was still something to do with that jailbird cousin of his and Romane to some extent. His grandfather had also informed him that in the recent days, the DA had come to some sort of agreement with the prosecution and Romanes mother. The agreement being that they were banning Romane from this area and moving them to a new area. Where he would have undergo therapy, he was also not getting convicted on any charges of murder or assault. Apparently the gun went missing, and there's not enough to hold him to it apart from one teens word against another. The States Attorney didn't see the point in dragging it through court. So he wouldn't see his ex friend again he assumed but he was still paying for his fuck up. That sounded like some political bullshit to him, and most importantly it sounded like Tom was dabbling with the law. That nigga.
"Baby come back to me" He snapped out of his thoughts when he saw Jazmine standing above him, he pulled himself upwards and she stepped in between his legs,
"Where do you want me to put this" she asked referring to the sandwich she so caringly made for him.
"Um, my mouth would be good" his voice was flat and serious. Yeah he felt like milking this whole thing with her.
"Hmm what tablets are they giving you, your acting mushy" she told him, he growled a little
"Shut up" he told her, she pushed his head playfully.
"Babe, why did you ask about my dad" she asked interestedly
"Don't worry, I just didn't know he knew that's all" he dismissed it easily, he didn't want to worry her.
"Oh" was all she said in reply
"Speaking of dads, my dad went and got this burner like the ones from the wire, you know that show you forced me to watch" Jazmine informed him, but he was more concerned about the fact that Tom had got one in the first place. They were no traceable or at least, no one would bother trying to trace it back.
"What" He asked for confirmation that he was hearing right. He started hearing things in his mind and pieces started to fall into place.
"I know right, he's weird. I hope he apologises to you soon"
"That's not necessary" Huey's head was spinning a little, he wasn't sure if it was the information he was receiving that was causing his brain to just go into overdrive. Did Tom do this to him, did he really order a hit on him.
"It's completely necessary" he heard her say.
I got a message
From who ?
From GOD Huey
"Huey, are you ok" Jazmine used her hand to touch his cheek, rubbing it softly.
"I'm good just tired" he assured her worried look.
"Wanna take a nap" she asked him,
"Girl you just woke up"
"No I didn't" she defended, he stared at her in disbelief
"Ok, I woke up like an hour ago but so what" she said as if it was no big deal.
"When we go to college, I'm breaking that lazy habit of yours" Huey told her. She didn't say anything just smiled. They just chilled with each other, relishing in being in the others presence again.
Daniel folded up the piece of paper he had in his hand as he sat on the bottom bunk inside his cell. Tom actually followed through, he couldn't say he wasn't surprised. He was very surprised he thought straight lace Tom was going to bottle it and ruin the fun for everybody. He had no idea he just fucked himself up even more. Daniel was somewhat appreciative of his help towards his son and he figured that was the least he could do after all the bullshit Tom had put him through. However the icing on the cake was the amateur hit he had on the young boy. His intention was never to kill the kid, no. he wanted the kid to be alright so he could wake up and tell his little girlfriend her dad was the one who put him in that hospital. Her precious father, this great person he was supposed to be, put a kid in hospital. He grinned, just loosing the faith of your only child was sweetest revenge for Daniel.
Hell, he had to lose the love and trust of his ex wife. Why shouldn't Tom's whole community do the same to him, he weren't any better than him. He was worse, because he actually let this shit happen. He didn't deserve the nice life he painted up for himself, he didn't deserve any of it. He didn't need to follow up on the events after the kid was dropped off. He was sure that righteous little nigga would stop at nothing to bring the dude who put him hospital to the limelight. It was just so happens he'd have to break his little girlfriend's ideal father to do so. And with that Daniel felt satisfied, even though things didn't pan out the way he wanted he couldn't help but feel that in some respects this was way better.
Tom finished from work and was on his way home. He had fought off his paranoia of the cops coming to take him in as an accomplice. He was pulling into his driveway when he saw his daughter in the doorway she was holding something, nope as he got closer, she was holding Huey. They had just finished kissing. Tom frowned as he turned into the driveway.
"Ok, I'll see you tomorrow" Jazmine told Huey. She was happy they made up even though he wanted to be difficult about it she found it cute. Besides anything to be back in the arms of her boyfriend. She heard a car and saw her dads car turning in.
"Great" Jazmine said with zero enthuasiasm. Huey glanced at his car and then back at her,
"I gotta talk to your dad" Huey announced, she was confused by this.
"Why" she asked.
"I just need to ask something" he told her. She studied him for a moment and that vacant expression he had on most of the day came back. She had kept on asking him if he was ok, because he would zone out. It came after she mentioned all that stuff about her dad, she hoped he was alright and wasn't going to end up having an anysrysum because of his injuries.
"Well, be nice" she told him and let go. He nodded and walked towards her dad who was stepping out of his car.
"Huey" Tom acknowledged
"Thomas" Huey replied, in a mocking fashion. Tom looked at the young teen seriously, why did the freemans have zero respect for people and their feelings.
"Is there something you wanted Huey"
"It was you" Huey stated clearly
"Huh, what are you talking about" Huey took another step into Toms space, to which Tom felt a little uneasy about. Remembering the threats the 18 year old had issued weeks earlier.
"You ordered a hit on me"
"I did a what, what is a hit Huey. I'm not familiar with your slang" Tom said but he was feeling the beads of sweat on his back.
"Tom, look. I know you did it. Jazmine mentioned you knew I was in Chicago. I just don't know how you knew I was in Chicago if my own grandfather didn't know. But I guess after sending him a message from that dummy phone, you sorted that didn't you."
"No, Huey you have got this all wrong. I did speak to your grandfather"
"He doesn't remember speaking to you about anything, In fact he says he hasn't spoken to you since the day of the trial" Tom, went to walk past Huey he didn't need this harassment but Huey took a quick step in that direction. Tom bumped into his arm and he clamped down on outburst.
"You really don't want me to see your daughter"
"Look I refuse to stand here and be badgered by you. You're paranoid I have done nothing wrong" he said defiantly. The reddish tint of Huey's eyes stayed locked on Tom. To which Tom glared
"I have done nothing wrong in protecting my family" he said again. He waited and it seemed like a long time before Huey said anything.
"How could you do that, you don't think it's a little extreme. We're just dating" Huey suddenly said, his voice was even and calm. Tom gaped
"I haven't done anything"
"You got someone to try and kill me"
"No I didn't"
"Yes you did"
"Well you're alive aren't you, why would I want someone to keep you alive if I asked them to kill you. Seems pretty dumb doesn't it paying for a service that doesn't actually follow through"
"Oh like how you paid a pimp named slickback to help you with your marriage" Tom face registered shock at the past event and annoyance also at the situation at hold.
"I don't know what you've dreamt up but I have nothing to do with your accident" and with that Tom stepped out of the tight space he was in with Huey and past him.
"They said it was a message from Tom"
"You know, before it all went black"
Huey watched Tom's frame still in the doorway of his house. He didn't move and Huey watched at the man turned back towards him in horror.
"What did you say" he asked carefully, his eyes wide with shock.
"I remembered it a little earlier, well more heard it. I can't really get any visuals. But something about a message from Tom"
"That son of a bitch" Tom bit out, it was now Huey's turn to be surprised.
Jazmine was a confused, she let curiosity get the better of her and peaked in the window too watch her father and boyfriend talk. At first it looked ok. Then it seemed to turn a bit hostile because whatever Huey was saying to him, he wasn't taking very well and just when she thought it might actually turn into something more serious. Her dad walks off and then Huey says something and he stops and now they were just staring at each other. Jazmine sighed she really wanted all of this to be over, she was so tired of conflict and friction between everyone.
"OK Huey, seeing as you're so damn smart. Here's what happened a deal was made I won't humour you with the details, your arms proof of that. I didn't orchestrate any of what happened"
"So you didn't try to take me out" Huey asked, he felt like he was always having the same conversation with Tom.
"God know, that would be breaking the law" Tom voice crept a little in pitch.
"The law you broke when you tampered with evidence" Huey accused, Tom paled
"A gun doesn't just go missing" Huey continued.
"I'd be very careful with what you say Huey" Tom said, Huey didn't like the tone he used to say it, it sounded like an empty threat. Again.
"I'd be very careful with who you cut deals with, this could ruin you" Huey replie, Tom stood in panic, the beads of sweat on his neck were showing on his light blue shirt collar. Huey stared.
"I just don't get it" Huey replied honestly
"Well, when you have a family preferably not with my daughter you'll get it" Tom told him, Huey didn't say anything.
"You're pathetic" Huey spat, Tom turned.
"I'm sorry you got caught in the crossfire Huey. But I swear on Jazmines life I wasn't behind this"
"Well someone wanted me to think you were and I should probably make it public knowledge that the DA crooked" he said, Tom whipped back around as Huey started making his way back to his house.
Tom caught Huey by his free arm and his grip was stifling. Huey was looking at Tom in disbelief.
"You can't say anything, you can't" Tom started in a hurry.
"Why not" Huey asked, he within rights to find out what happened to him. To follow up any leads he might find.
"Cosss, it's not true" he stressed
"It's as close to the truth as I can get, you believe in justice don't you Tom" Huey was looking at the frantic look on Toms face. He was really guilty of this, Huey was still a little shocked he was even capable of such of thing. It just seemed so extreme for something that was so small to start with.
"Yes, I mean lega justice. Not street justice"
"Nigga are you fareal right now. you really gonna throw 'street' justice at me. You deserve to be found out"
"Huey don't say anything, look you can date Jazmine" Tom said, Huey scoffed in amusement.
"No offence Tom, you were hardly going to stop me from doing anything less than that" he replied calmly.
"Let go of me" he told him as the mans grip was just tightening on his good arm
"You can't say anything" he pleaded.
"Let go of me" Huey repeated, Tom held a defeated look and let go of his arm. Huey walked back towards his home.
Tom was beside himself, he didn't know what to do. How could Daniel do that, he was setting him up from inside the cage. He double crossed him, if Huey told anyone and more importantly if he told Jazmine.
"OMG, what have I done" Tom ran his hands over his face.
Ooo the balls in Huey's court, what's he going to do. Expose Tom or save the nigga. Guess his cuz really is getting the last laugh now, putting Power in a vengeful teen.
I think I'm gonna call this story at 20. Maybe even 19, there's not much to wrap up now. Just Toms bitchness
R&R for me
