Chapter 6: Sorry's not Good Enough

(answers the phone) Hello?

(frantic) Riley. Is that you? Put your brother on, it's an emergency.

What's the emergency?

I'm in jail.(slight pause, Riley starts to laugh)

Don't drop the soap. (hangs up)

Who was that?

(the phone rings, and he answers it again) Yeah?

RILEY. It's Tom.

I thought you only get one phone call from jail.(Huey grabs the phone)

Who's this?

Huey! I got arrested! They say I fit the description. I think it's 'cause I'm black Huey! You have to get me out of here Huey. You don't wanna know what they'll do to me in jail.

They'll rape you that's what they're gonna do. But you're not in jail, you're in holding, and I don't think people usually get raped in holding; hold on. (yelling) Granddad, do people get raped in holding?(Jazmine starts to cry)

Stop stop stop! I don't want your granddad to know. I don't want anybody to know. Listen they can't keep people in holding over the weekend. At nine o'clock tonight, they're going to put me on a bus and send me to real jail. Real jail! Earliest I can get out would be on Monday.

Well it's just the weekend.

It only takes one night to get anally raped! Huey, the only way for me to get out of here is if you find the real killer tonight.

The real killer?! Nigga, I'm ten! How am I gonna find the real killer?

Please! You gotta try...

Alright alright alright. Damn.

Thank yooou Huuey. Whatever you do, don't tell my baby Jazmine. I don't want her to know her daddy was somebody's biiittcch! (he starts weeping)

Was that Daddy? Where is he? Is he okay? Was he kidnapped by terrorists?

Umm... your father wants you to know he's nobodys' bitch.

(starts to cry again)

Riley Freeman, Tom Dubious, Huey Freeman, and Jazmine Dubious

(A Date with the Health Inspector)

The whole rest of the gang waited at the Freemans house to anxious to talk. They had all decided to wait for the Huey, Sophie, and Natasha to come to share their news, of course barely any of them could keep their mouths shut. They tried to find things to preoccupy themselves. Jazmine was bouncing on her toes, Cindy was chewing her nails, Ceaser was pacing back and forth, Daniel was drumming his hand across the table, and Riley was cracking his knuckles.

"I wonder was taking them so long." Jazmine murmered after a while.

"Yea me too its getting late." Cindy said staring out the window.

"What if something happened? I mean Ceaser said what we were doing is dangerous. Oh my gosh what if Huey got hurt? And then what if while he was hurt they got attacked and Huey's dragging himself here? What if he's calling for me to come help him? Oh my gosh we have to go find them!" Jazmine yelled suddenly stopping and walking towards the door.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa calm down Jazzy. If anything its probably taking a while cuz those dumb niggas wanted to walk dey asses dere." Cindy said stoping Jazmine before she could reach the door.

"Oh right," Jazmine said turning around to sit back down. "I knew that."

"Riiiight." Daniel said unconvinced. Jazmine sent him a glare.

"Ok well we just sittin our asses here wit a whole bunch of info I couldn't give a shit if dey hurr or not we need to talk bout what we learned." Riley said.

"NO!" Jazmine exclaimed. "We're waiting Huey and the rest of them need to know this too. Its better if we just all wait."

"Come ooonnnn Jazzy I'm tired as a mother fucker if they don't come in a few minutes we gon have to talk." Cindy said.

"NO!" Jazmine yelled again. "You have your boyfriend here is it to much that the rest of us don't have ours?" Jazmine asked.

"Well actually-" Ceaser started.

"Shut up." Jazmine said before he could finish.

There was an awkward silence as Cindy glanced nervously at Riley. She blushed when she realized that he was looking right back at her. Jazmine noticed the silence and looked curiously at both of them. "Ok something is going." she thought. But it didn't take a dumb person to realize that.

"Whats going on?" she asked.

Cindy took in a big breath. She had planned on telling Jazmine when it first happened but she just never got around to it. She wanted to sound calm when she told her not bust out in tears (which she's been doing on and off lately). But what better time to tell her then when he's in the room, Natasha Huey and Sophie are AWOL, and she's already jumpy? Oh right any time. She took another deep breath.

"Acutally me and Reezy I mean Riley are broken up." Cindy said.

Jazmine emerald eyes got wide as the shot from Cindy to Riley and back again. This went on for forever. Broke up? They broke up? Ok maybe she didn't hear them right because no way in hell could Riley and Cindy break up. "HOW? WHEN? WHY? HOW COME YOU DIDN'T TELL ME SOONER?" Jazmine asked finally finding her voice.

Cindy shrugged and put a stray piece of hair behind her ear nervously. "We had a fight, about two days ago, again we had a fight, and I wasn't ready to tell anyone." Cindy admitted.

Jazmine stared at her in disbelief. "BUT I'M YOUR BEST FRIEND!" She yelled hurt. Cindy knew, anyone actually, that if she and Huey broke up (though every night she prays that won't happen again) she would be the first person she called so it hurt to know that she wouln't do the same.

"Yea I know and ya don't hav ta yell ok? I'm sorry but I just wasn't ready." she said again.

Jazmine sighed then nodded her head, when she and Huey broke up she didn't want to see or talk to anyone besides him maybe thats what Cindy was going through. She felt so stupid though. Best friend? If she was really her best friend she could tell that something was up. Just took one look at Cindy and you could tell she was depressed. Then something clicked in Jazmine mind. Over a fight? They fight all the time (harmless of course) so what made this time so different?

"Over a fight?" Jazmine asked.

Cindy nodded her head. "Well it was a bad one, we both said somethings-"

"You said somethings." Riley cut in anger washing over his face.

"Oh like you didn't get what you wanted out too?" Cindy asked irritated, this wasn't all her fault.

"Only cuz you went all crazy bitch on me!" Riley shot back.

"Ok!Ok! Not the time, look me and you will talk about this later." Jazmine said gesturing at Cindy.

"Man where the hell are they?" Daniel asked looking at the door. He had completely missed whatever just happened all he cared about was where was Tasha? He hoped she was ok.

"Yea, who are we kidding? Somethings wrong." Ceaser said staring at the door as if forcing them to appear.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Jazmine said covering her ears. "Don't jinx it!"

"Jinx?" Daniel asked in disbelief. "Are you really that naive and stupid that you still believe in jinxing?" he asked.

"Shut up!" Jazmine said angrily. "I'm not naive or stupid! You know what? You're not even that much in the group yet you pick with someone who's been here the whole time? Nigga kill yoself! You ain't shit you ain't worth shit so shut the fuck up!" Jazmine yelled not even minding that the last part she sounded like Cindy.

Daniel stared at her surprised and hurt. Yea they fought but she never said anything like that before. He quickly masked up all his surprise and hurt and tried to look mad and annoyed. He rolled his eyes just to make a point before sitting down. "Glad you grew some balls Mariah." he said sarcastically.

Jazmine instantly felt sad and embarrassed by what she said. She didn't mean for it to all slip out but it did. Of course she saw the moment where he looked hurt and that only made her heart break even more. She was about to apologize when the door busted open. There stood Natasha her hari was wild and spread out all over the place, her face was as pale as snow, and her eyes were bloodshot. If you didn't know it was her, or like them was surprised you would have thought she looked like some typ of monster.

"AAHHH! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"Cindy yelled jumping up.

Natasha didn't say anything just ran past all of them into Daniels arms as she busted out in tears. Daniels arms were the only place she knew where she felt safe. Danile stared in surprised as she fell into his arms.

"Natasha?" he asked. "Whats the matter?"

She started to speak but couldn't get out anything she was crying to hard. They could only make out so many words through her tears. "Ceaser...Coward...Taken...I'm soooo sorry!"

"Come on come here." Daniel said walking her over to the couch. When they sat down he let her cry a little longer before slightly pulling back. "Come on speak to me baby what happened?" he asked as softly as he could even though he felt frantic.

"We-we were at Ceaser's house and-and I suggested we look outside first and the grass was so big it was hard to find anything but Sophie found a glove." Natasha explained.

Cindy bit her tongue from yelling at her to get to the point.

"And?" Daniel asked feeling the same way Cindy did.

"Well after that we-we w-w-went inside the house." she stopped and started to cry.

"No come on keep going." Danile urged.

"Well the floor gave out and I fe-fell." she said.

"So you got hurt or somethin? Does da baby need a wittle bwand aid?"Riley asked in a teasing voice.

"Shut up!" she yelled angrily shooting him a glare. "And yes I did get hurt but Huey and Sophie helped me back up." She started to look sad again as if wanting to cry. "I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I..."she stopped steadying her breath so she could go on. "I-I, we kept walking and then I tripped on some string." she said.

Cindy suddenly busted in. "Look gurl boo hoo ya hurt ya self alot could ya please get ta the point?" she asked impatient.

"I'm getting to it!" Natasha said shooting her a glare. "Anyways I noticed the string was connected to a button and I... I'M SO STUPID!" Natasha said stopping and crying all over again.

Daniel shook his head and rubbed her back softly. "No your not. Come on baby listen to me no your not ok just finish telling us." he said.

Natasha pulled apart and nodded her head. "I pressed the button them something zoomed past us and out the door." she said.

Ceaser eyes went wide. "It was a signal?" he asked even though he knew he was right.

Natasha nodded not making eye contact with anyone. "We heard a voice and we got scared so we started to run to the door and- and he was right there! Before anyone could stop him he grabbed Sophie and held a knife up to her neck saying that if we moved he would slit her kneck. Of course Huey was ready for a fight anyways. I was standing behind them so they didn't see me. Anyways I was inching towards the wall then the guys back up came and dragged Huey and Sophie away!" Natasha yelled.

"And what did you do?" Daniel asked already starting to dread the answer.

Natasha shook her head not wanting to speak. "Well she helped them of course!" Jazmine said. "I mean she had to help them it was one of her best friends and her sister! For crying out loud where are they are they outside?" Jazmine asked even though she knew the answer.

Natasha shook her head again starting to cry. "I'm so sorry." she cried.

Jazmine shook her head eyes wide as she backed slowly away. "Your lying! Stop lying stop!" she said.

"I'm not lying Jazmine I'm sorry!" Natasha yelled crying louder.

Before anyone knew what was happening or could stop her Jazmine went to Natasha and slapped her across the face... hard. "Sorry? You wanna be sorry? No sorry can't bring back Huey or Sophie! You dumbass bitch! Your such a fuckin coward!" she yelled going for another hit.

"Jazmine leave her alone!" Daniel yelled pushing her away.

"Awww shit just got real!" Cindy said excitedly forgetting what was going on for a minute.

Jazmine easily dodge Daniel (a moved she learned from Huey) and went for Natasha again. But this time Natasha was ready. They quickly got into a fight and Natasha was slightly surprised on how good Jazmine could fight however she wasn't as good as her. A final kick in the stomach sent Jazmine down. She sat there for a while trying to catch her breath while she looked up at Natasha. Natasha stared back breathing hard. Then out of nowhere Jazmine pounced back up and tackled Natasha to the ground repeatedly punching her.

"Someone help me pry this girl off of her." Daniel said tugging at Jazmine surprside on how slippery she was.

"Wait, wait, wait just fa one ma sec." Cindy said smiling at the fight.

"CINDY!" They all yelled.

"Fineeeeee." she huffed walking over to Jazmine. She grabbed her waist with one hand and grabbed one of her hands with the other. She gave one good tug and Jazmine was sent flying off. Jazmine tried to break free from Cindy still having her eyes locked on Natasha as more innappopriate words slipped out. "Get her outta here." Cindy said motioning to Natasha. As soon as Natasha left the room Jazmine became limp as she fell to the ground. She covered up her eyes and shook her head slowly.

"How could she? I forgave her for Ceaser, I forgave her for everything and she just keeps doing it again and again. How could she?" she asked to no one in particular.

"I'm so sury Jazzy." Cindy said hugging her friend.

"No your not the one who should be apologizing." she said. "I hate her Cindy, I freakin hate her for what she did."

"I know gurl me too but you need ta be strong ok? Be strong fa Huey and Sophie." she whispered.

Jazmine pulled away and look Cindy in the eyes who looked just a desperate as her. "Ok, we can both be strong." she wrapped her arms around Cindy and hugged her not wanting to let go.

Riley cleared his throat nervously. "So what now?" he asked.

No one knew the answer. No one knew what to say. They sat there in silence still thinking over everything. Every time they thought they grasped an idea on what to do it would dissapear. They did come to a conclusion however, whatever they were going to do they had to do it quick. They had Sophie and Huey and that wasn't good at all.

Author's Note: Ok so at first I was like ooo let me include what I'm doing in the next chapter in this one but then it was going to be wayyy to long so you'll just have to read the next chapter. Um the chapter after the next chapter we see whats happening to Huey and Sophie ****Spoiler Alert It's not good and it will probably leave you pissed or crying who knows**** anyways I'm starting to hate Natasha even though I wasn't suppose to which is why Jazzy slapped the shit outta her (lmao)! Oh and what Jazmine said to Daniel smh it was a little harsh. Anyways R&R!

Feedback is love :)
