Tom Dubios, and Jazmine Dubios

(Tom, Sarah, and Usher)

Jazmine's POV:

I opened my eyes and looked across the big hospital room. I guess I had fallen asleep, no surprise. I yawned and stood up. There was a small bandage on my arm where I had gopt cut. I looked around and found my clothes laying next to me but they weren't the clothes I had on before. There was a little note on top and I picked it up.

Dear Jazmine,

I thought you might need some new clothes. Your father doesn't know and I won't tell him. Our little secret :) I hope to speak about this though when you are feeling better. Also sorry about Huey

With all my Love,

Sarah

I rolled my eyes and threw the note away. Yea another secret to share with her. The clothes weren't that bad though. It was a light green tank top and skinny jeans. Then some black heels. I was putting my clothes on when I heard voices talking.

"I mean it's the funniest thing I've ever seen." somebody said.

The other laughed. "What's is wrong with people? Going for the worlds longest hair?" one said laughing more.

I rolled my eyes. They were probably talking about some girl with long hair. If it was Cindy I wouldn't hesistate to punch them right in there dumbass faces.

"His afro is so huge!" They erupted in giggles.

My eyes popped open. I hurried and slipped on my pants and ran out the room. "Hey!" I called to them.

"Yes? Ms. Dubios what are you-"

"Whats his name?" I asked.

"What name?" I woman with a red bun asked, her name was Janice.

"The name of the boy that has the huge afro." I said quickly.

"I'm sorry but we're not allowed to tell you that." Amy said.

I snatched the clipboard from her hands. The name read : Jeremy Cuthat. I let out a frustrated cry and threw they clipboard down. "This isn't fair!" I yelled.

"Ms. Dubios calm down please. Go back to your room." Amy said sternly.

"Did you or did you not see anybody by the name of Huey Freeman?" I asked.

Janice furrowed her eyebrows but sighed in defeat. "I swear kids these days." she muttered. She flipped through the clipboard. "Yes someone by the name of Huey Freeman checked hisself in yesterday in room 325A." she said.

"Where is that?" I asked anxious.

"Down two flights of stairs and to the right." Janice said. I nodded and started to run. "Wait," I turned back around. "You didn't hear it from me." she said wiggling her finger.

I smiled and nodded. My heart was beating so fast and loud I could hear it. I was so excited I ran down the stairs and passed the elevator. He was alive. Huey was alive! I finally got to the hallway and slowed down looking at every room. I stopped just before his room. I smoothed down my hair and opened the door.

"Hey." he said.

My breath was taken away. His afro was a bit smaller which I honestly didn't mine. His right arm was in a cast and I assumed that it was burned badly. I leaned against the door slightly. "Hi." I replied smiling.

He stood up and opened his arms. I stared at him and made no effort to move to him. I held closely to the door as if scared to come to him. He raised one eyebrow and lowered his arms. "Jazmine whats wrong?" he asked.

"How did you survive that?" I asked.

"When I exploded the place I knew exactly where we were standing. I got blown back and Cairo got blown up." he said. I nodded my head and avoided his eyes. I knew if I looked at him the tears I were holding back were going to come out. I sucked in a breath. Suddenly I wasn't so excited to see him, in fact I was mad. "Jazmine," he stepped forward.

I held out my hand signaling him to stop. "No Huey just don't." I pushed my hair back. "Huey I thought you were dead." I said softly. He stepped closer and although I pulled back he pulled me forward. I resisted and still tried to push him away. "Let go!" I said through gritted teeth.

He raised one eyebrow and pulled my chin up forcing me to look at him. "So you're mad at me for saving your life?" he asked in disbelief.

I pushed away with all my force. "No I'm mad because I was going crazy thinking you were dead." I shook my head. "You just don't get it do you?" I asked.

"No I don't." he said simply.

"I LOVE YOU HUEY! Ok? I love you so much and then you do this?" I yelled at the top of my lungs. "I'm so angry at you! Just why do you always have to be so brave? Huh? Why Huey?" I asked.

He pulled me to him and hugged me. But it didn't help. It made it worse. I started crying and that made me angrier. "Huey just! AH!" I screamed. "You just don't know, and you'll never know!" I said. "I HATE YOU HUEY FREEMAN!" I declared.

"I thought you just said you love me." he said and I could see the smirk fighting to come on his lips.

I rolled my eyes and sniffled. "It's not funny." I stood up. I felt th question rising in my thraot. It was a question that I always but expecially right now needed to know. "Do you love me?" I asked.

"What?" he asked raising one eyebrow.

"Do You Love Me?" I asked slowly.

"Yes." he said.

"Then why did you do that?" I asked covering my eyes to cry more.

I heard him stand up. "I saved YOUR life! There is no reason for you to be mad!" he yelled.

I looked up. "Huey it's not about that!" I said.

"Then what? What is it about?" he asked.

"It's about the fact that I love you more!" I shook my head and wiped my tears. "There's always one who love more and I never wanted it to be me but it is. Huey why not take me with you if you died? Why split us apart?" I asked.

He stood there with a stone cold straight face. "I'm not understanding." he said finally.

"Oh come on Huey, you're not that stupid." I said. He stood silent and I narrowed his eyes. I knew him too well, he was hiding something. "Huey tell me the real reason or I swear I will walk out that door go back to my room and then later on drop off you and Riley and maybe say hi to Granddad but after that I will never EVER speak to again." I said.

Huey looked at the ground. "Jazmine," he looked up. "I do love you." he said.

I scoffed nd rolled my eyes. "I knew it. Say goodbye forever Freeman." I said angrily.

He pulled me back. "I love you so much that if it came to it I would sacrifice my life to save yours." he said softly.

My cheeks instantly went red. My anger was going away well most of. I wanted to bring up the kiss but it wasn't the right time. Instead I leaned forward and kissed him. He held me there for a while just kissing. Then we layed down in the hosiptail bed together. My eyes started to close and I snuggled deeper into Huey never wanting to let go.

Ceaser's POV:

I begged them to let me in the same room as Sophie. They said no because she was in very bad condition but that didn't stop me from sneaking in. She was right. Sophie color had finally came partiually back. She had bandages over her arm and needles were in there. They were pumping nutrients into her because she couldn't really eat anything. I sat next to her bed. It was night time so I wasn't expecting anyone to come in.

"Sophie?" I whispered touchinng her hand slightly. Her eye fluttered opened. She looked at me hten around the whole room. "Hey sleeping beauty." I said smiling. She smiled softly back then looked around again. "Need something?" I asked.

She just looked to her right. I stood up and saw a glass of water next to her bed. I walked over to it and then lifted her head and helped her drink the water. She coughed slightly. "What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I wanted to check on you." I said shrugging.

She smiled more. "Thats sweet." she yawned slightly. Then her eyes popped open. "Where's Huey?" she asked.

I tried to hide my eye roll. "He's not here and that's the main thing." I said.

She rolled her eyes. "Ceaser I'm serious where is he? The last thing I remeber is an explosion. Did everyone make it?" she asked.

My phone beeped and I looked down at it.

Text

Jazzy: Huey's alive I'm with him right now! OMG! I tell you all the details later have fun w/ Sophie ;)

I smirked I knew she would find out I came here. I put my phone back in my pocket and smiled. So my man Huey did make it. "Well?" Sophie asked impatiently.

I nodded smiling. "Everythings alright." I said.

She smiled and seemed to relax. She yawned and her eyes started to flutter. "You know I'm not really a night person." she said smirking.

"Yea I know." I sat on the edge of her bed. "But I couldn't find any other time to talk to you." I said. She smiled. I got up and stretched. "Well I guess this is goodnight." I said. I bent over and kissed her forehead. She smiled at me again. "Don't do that." I said.

"Do what?" she asked inncoently.

"Pretend like you are just so in love with me." I said.

She stopped smiling and looked around again. I heard her mutter something like "I am in love with you." I shook my head no that couldn't be it could it? "What?" I asked.

She shook her head. "Nothing."

I nodded my head. "Night Soph."

"Wait!" she called.

"Yea?" I asked.

"Stay with me?" she asked sweetly. I raised one eyebrow. "Please just until I get back to sleep." she said.

I nodded and walked over to her bed. She scooted over slightly and I layed down next to her looking at her. "You know you are never like this." I said.

She nodded. "I know I'm blaming it on all this shity medication." she said.

I laughed. "No then you would act like that one time when you called Riley Glitter." I said.

She giggled. "Oh yea I remeber that." she said.

Flashback...

"I swear why I always gotta do stuff fa people. I need ta go out and do somethin wit Ed and Rummy." Riley mumbled angrily to himself.

"Mush glitter mush!" Sophie said giggling.

"Did ya just call me glitter?" Riley asked

"Yes your name is Glitter and you are my unicorn." Sophie said.

"Oh hell naw! Dis is where I draw da line. I ain't no damn unicorn and mah name not glitter." Riley said giving a disgutsed look.

"What about Sparkles?" Sophie asked.

"What the fuck? Dis ain't my little ponies!" Riley said.

"Beep, Beep, Beep I'm a clown." Sophie said giggling poking her nose.

Riley stared at her for a while before shaking his head. "Yous a dumb bitch." he mumbled walking into the house.

End of Flashback...

"Sophie laughed harder. "Oh yea. I was fucked up real bad that day." she said.

"Yea you really were." I said joining in on her laughter.

She yawned again and her eyes closed. Her laughter died down and you could only hear her breathing. I knew in the morning she would probably be pissed off at me but right now I was happy to have this moment. I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her to me. I kissed her chek softly and in her sleep she smiled slightly.

"Goodnight Sophie."

Author's Note: Very very sleepy right now. I wanted to post this quick becuase some people (janiyah, and you better be reading this!) think I would actually kill off Huey. Are you kidding? I LOVE HUEY! lol no seriously he's not dead people calm down! Jazmine said this wasn't the right moment to bring up the kiss when is? Hm...maybe next chapter? Aw Sophie and Ceaser! That was cute! You guys remeber the glitter from chapter 2? Lol too funny. Well hope this cleared up a few things but next chapter might have to jump bak into some drama.
