Chapter 23: No More Love Triangles
Why don't you just holla at him?
Pssh, I don't know. He's so detached. We used to spend all our yard work together. We used to lift weights together everyday. He doesn't even spot me anymore. I think's there's somebody else.
...Jail nigga you gay.
Riley Freeman, Jail Nigga
(The Passion of Ruckus)
Huey's POV:
I yawned as I sat on the couch. Jazmine had kept her promise about telling us what was up and actually woke up everyone for it. As much as a morning person I was last night was rough so I was very tired. I yawned again. I was still wondering when and how to tell Jazmine about what happened with me and Sophie but it was too difficult to explain. Riley walked past me and sat next to Cindy leaning closer to her. Cindy blushed deeply. Ceaser tapped my leg and winked and I shook my head. Regardless of if they were going back out or not Ceaser was gonna find out about it.
"Ok so we're all up. What's up Mariah?" Daniel asked.
Jazmime smiled and I felt something I don't usually feel. I think it was called jealousy. "Wait where's Sophie?" Jazmine asked.
"She went to the bathroom." Ceaser answered.
The room got quiet, I mean we didn't really know how she felt. We all pretty much hated Natasha and even she did but she was still her sister so it must of hurted. Just then Sophie walked in. Her hair was in a high ponytail and she wore a blue hoodie and some black shorts. Her eyes were red and swollen.
"Hi guys." she said forcing a smile but her voice shook. We all smiled back except me because I don't smile and Jazmine, because...well I guess thats the thing I'm gonna find out.
"Iight can we start now?" Cindy asked.
Jazmine nodded. "Ok so lets play a game." she said smiling.
"You woke us up for a game?" I asked.
She nodded still smiling. "Any suggestions?" she asked.
"Can we play cops and robbers?" Riley asked.
"I wouldn't." I said still remebering that one babysitter we had.
"Truth or Dare? Ok." Jazmine said.
"Jazmine I'm goin back ta sleep." Cindy said.
"Come on guys please?" she begged.
Daniel sighed. "Ok Mariah." he said. Jazmine smiled and her eyes twinkled. I felt a weird feeling that I don't feel often I think it's called jealousy.
"So who's first?" Jazmine asked pulling out the bottle. She sat it down then came and sat over on my lap.
"I'll go." Daniel said reaching for the bottle spinning it. It landed on Cindy. "Iight truth or dare?" Daniel asked.
"Dare." Cindy said boredly.
"I dare you to strip tease." he said then sent a wink over at Riley.
"Fuck off." Cindy said.
"You chose dare." Daniel said.
"Yea but thats disgusting." Sophie said scrunching up her face. This all felt very similar to when we found out about Jazmine and Riley.
"It really is." Cindy agreed.
"Ok Ok how about just take off one piece of clothing?" he asked.
"Damn nigga ya really want all her clothes off huh?" Ceaser asked.
Daniel rolled his eyes but smirked. "Ya know it." he flicked his tongue at Cindy.
Cindy flicked him off. "Iight." she stood up and started to grab the hem of her shirt. Riley watched smirking but Cindy only streched then bent down and took off the socks she was wearing. She looked back at Daniel smirking. "Who turn next?" she asked.
Daneil mouth hung open and Riley snickered. "Aye dats cheatin!" he said.
"Shoulda been mo clear nigga." Cindy said flicking him off.
"Iight then I'll be clear on dat fa mah turn." Riley said.
Jazmine jaw dropped opened and she looked at Riley and Cindy. No doubt they were being way more flirty. "Um, my turn." she said taking the bottle. She spun it and it landed on Ceaser. "Wait wait wait!" she yelled.
"Yea?" Ceaser asked.
Jazmine blushed. "Um my arm got um twisted and it messed up my spin let me go again." she said.
"Ok then go." I said. Jazmine spun it again and it landed on Riley. "Wait!" she yelled. "One more time." she said. She spun it again and it landed on Daniel. "Oh come on!" she groaned.
"Truth." Daneil said.
"No wait that was a mistake too." she said.
"Bitch if yo ass don't just spin it and be done." Riley said. I reached over and slammed him in the back of his head.
"Ok, Ok, last time." she spun it and this time it landed on me. "FINALLY!" she yelled. I raised one eyebrow and she blushed. "Ok Huey truth or dare?" she asked.
"Dare." I said.
"Truth it is." I looked at her raising one eyebrow again. I knew she wanted me to do truth which is exactly why I picked dare. But I shrugged going with it anyways. She looked me straight in the eye. "Is there a secret you're keeping from me?" she asked.
"Deja Vu!" Cindy shouted.
"What?" Riley asked as we all looked at her.
"Ya know ya say it when somethin like dis happened befa...nevamind." she said sighing when we all looked at her confused.
Jazmine blinked rapidly then shook her head staring at me. "Is there?" she asked.
I looked at her. She knew something, I knew she did. Her emerald eyes however were fierce not giving me a clue of what it was. "Um..." I manged to get out still studying her.
Her lips formed into a smirk. ""Um?" Is Huey Freeman speechless?" she asked.
I shook my head. "Actually Jazmine there is something I have to tell you." I said.
"Wow I am VERY hungry. Anyone else hungry. Huey are you hungry? Cindy?" Sophie asked shooting daggers at me with her eyes.
I ignored them and continued to look at Jazmine. "It happened when me and Sophie were kidnapped." I started.
"Seriously nobody is hungry?" Sophie asked again.
"Sophie ssh, damn dis da only interesting thang since I woke up!" Cindy said. Sophie sighed and bit her bottom lip nervously.
"Ok Huey wanna tell me what that is?" Jazmine asked.
I couldn't look away from her eyes. They seemed to have me in a trance. "Me and Sophie..."
"Yes?" Jazmine asked.
"Gosh my stomach won't stop growling!" Sophie exclaimed.
"We..."
"Yes?" Jazmine asked a bit more excited.
"SOOO HUNGRY!" Sophie shouted.
"Sophie shut da fuck up!" Riley said.
"We..." I said again but found it hard to finish the sentence.
"Get on with it!" Daniel yelled impatiently.
"Huey!" Sophie yelled.
"Kissed." I finished.
Cindy gasped and Ceaser jaw few opened. Sophie sighed resting her head in her hand shaking it. The whole room became tense as we all stared at Jazmine. She had closed her eyes by that last word and I braced myself for a full cuss out. Cindy shook her head and walked over to Jazmine touching her shoulders lightly. Jzmine grabbed onto her hand tightly and sighed. Cindy turned and glared at me.
"I know." Jazmine said finally.
Sophie head shot up in surprise. "You what?" she asked.
Jazmine whilred around. Her eyes were teared up and didn't look fierce anymore but hurt. Very hurt. "I said I know. But what I don't know is why?" she turned to me. "Why Huey?" she asked. I didn't even know what to say which was weird. I always knew what to say or do but know my tongue felt thick and dry. She scoffed. 'That's what I thought."
"Jazmine can we explain?" Sophie asked.
"No I don't want to hear you guys explanation." she snapped.
"Jazmine please.."
"SHUT UP!" she shrieked. " I am so sick and tired of playing this stupid game!" she said.
"Its iight Jazzy calm down." Cindy said.
"No it's not alright!" Jazmine said her voice shaking a bit. "I'm just so tired of this."
"So what done that mean?" I asked.
She looked at me. "What do you mean?" she asked.
"For us. Does this mean we're over?" I asked.
"No please. Not over me." Sophie said.
"No please. Not over me." Jazmine mimicked. She glared at her. "What do you mean not over you? You're the whole reason why we're having issues. Because you can't stop being such a whore!" Jazmine yelled.
"A what?" Sophie snapped standing up. She walked to Jazmine and stopped when they were inches apart. "Just because I came shouldn't cause this many issues and FYI he kissed ME!" she yelled.
"Bitch!" Jazmine yelled jumping on her.
They started to fight. Sophie punched Jazmine in her nose. Jazmine then in return uppercutted her and kicked her in the stomach. Sophie was obviously better but Jazmine wasn't giving up and kept running at her punching her over and over. Cindy stood by putting her hair in a ponytail.
"Aye whatchu doin?" Riley asked.
She shrugged. "She always dere ta break up mah fight just returnin the favor."
The girls continued to fight with Jazmine on top of Sophie punching her in the face. "Gonna jump in now?" Daniel asked.
Cindy shook her head. "One mah sec."
Then Sophie punched Jazmine off of her. She picked her up swinging her around then kicked her to the couch. Jazmine landed with a thud. She got back up wiping the blood from her mouth then ran at Sophie again. "Now?" Daniel asked.
Cindy shook her head again. "Cindy!" Ceaser yelled.
"One mah sec.."
"CINDY!" he yelled again trying to get a hold of Sophie.
"Finee!" she said. She walked over pulling Jazmine away. The girls yelled stuff back and forth at each other. I felt a head ache start to come and this was getting even more irritating.
"ALRIGHT ENOUGH!" I yelled. They both stopped and looked at me.
Jazmine wiggled out of Cindy's grasp. "No you don't get to say what's enough and what's not. I'm tired of this stupid love triangle." she said.
"Yea you and me both." Sophie said surprising me.
Jazmine rolled her eyes. "You know what? I'm not doing this anymore." she started to walk to the door.
"Are you breaking up with me?" I asked.
She stopped and looked out the door. She looked back at me. "No." she said shaking her head. "I love you too much and at this point I hate that I do."
I looked at her. "Jazmine you have to let me explain." I said.
She shook her head. "No you know what? 5 days, you've got 5 days to figure out who you want to be with." she said. She looked at Sophie. "It's either me or her Huey." she looked back at me. "Choose wisely." then she walked outside slamming the door behind her.
"Damn it who slammed the door?" Granddad asked from upstairs.
"Nothin Granddad." Riley yelled.
"Boy dat even answer the question!"
"Nothin!"
There was a short pause. "Nigga shut the hell up I'm goin back ta sleep."
Riley smirked. "And dats da way ta do it." he said.
Cindy laughed then looked at me. "Ya fucked up nigga." she said then walked outside following Jazmine.
"Well Ima go upstairs cuz I already know Ceez bout ta whoop some ass and I don't wanna see yo gay ass get fucked up." Riley said snickering. Daniel laughed too. I flicked them off and they walked upstairs towards our room.
I looked at Ceaser who was still looking at the ground. "I can't do this." he said.
"Do what?" Sophie asked.
He moved away from her. "Sit here and pretend to be cool by this." he looked at me then Sophie. "Look Huey choose who you want but I'm not sitting around to find out it's the girl I love." he said. He walked out the door slamming it.
"If y'all slam dat door again!" Granddad yelled.
The room was quiet. I know Sophie was staring at me but my mind was on Jazmine and the look of hurt she had given me. I promised I wouldn't hurt her anymore. Just another lie I can tally.
"Huey I'm sorry to put you through this." Sophie said.
"So you think I should choose too?" I asked finally looking up at her.
She nodded. "It's for the best." she walked over to my hesistating for a bit before hugging me and walking out the door.
I stood there alone. I couldn't wrap my head around anything. Everything was still so messed up. My head kept playing the same thing over and over.
Jazmine or Sophie?
