Riley Freeman, Huey Freeman
(The Story of Gangstalicious Part 2)
Sophie's POV:
I was so surprised to see Huey leaning forward to kiss me. I did however lean forward as well and kissed him back. There was something wrong though, I couldn't put my finger on it but something didn't feel right about this kiss. I knew what kissing Huey was supposed to feel like and this wasn't it. I closed my eyes pressing harder and he seemed to do the same. I heard Jazmine clear her throat impatiently and pulled away. She smiled at us like nothing had happened.
"Jazmine-" Huey started.
She held up her hand cutting him off. "No it's cool Huey, mines well get it out of your system. " she said then turned to me. "Thanks for being so cool about this." she reached over hugging me. I stared at her awkwardly. So did he not choose me? Am I missing something here? I stared at him then her confused. She broke apart and giggled. "I love you so much Huey!" she exclaimed excitedly.
Huey raised one eyebrow. "Um Jazmine-"
"What?" she asked.
He reached over taking my hand. I clasped mine around it and held my breath. I knew what he was gonna say and I couldn't even look Jazmine in the eyes as he started to talk. "I didn't choose you." he said.
She looked like she was confused. "I'm sorry what?" she asked.
He sighed and looked at her in an impatiently and pained expression. "I chose Sophie."
Jazmine drew in a sharp breath and I looked up at her. She had her hand up to her mouth and quickly tears were forming a her eyes. She wiped them away and stood up.
"Jazmine wait." I said standing up too.
She shook her head and put on a forced sad smile. "Um no it's cool. I-I'm soo happy for you guys." she stopped and more tears fell down her eyes which she tired to hide and failed at. She breathed in a deep breath. "But um I forgot my daddy asked me to come home soon so I gotta go." she turned and ran as fast as she could down the tree letting out sobs.
I turned back to Huey who was looking down at the ground. "Say something." I said.
"What do you mean?" he asked looking up at me.
I sat next to him. "I don't know say something, anything." I said.
"Sophie what's your problem? You got me! I don't get why you're being so-"
"Because," I cut him off. "I don't feel it anymore." I said.
"Feel what?" he asked impatiently.
"The spark, I don't feel it and I know you don't feel anything either." I said.
He looked at me surprised. Then his face went stone cold. "If you don't love me anymore then it's cool but don't make up some -"
"Huey!" I snapped forcing him to look at me. "What happened? I do love you but, this just doesn't feel right." I admitted then sighed.
He shoved me away some what hardly but not really. "After all this shit you put me threw NOW you say "the spark is gone"? Man that's some ol' bullshit." he said.
I sighed loudly and grabbed his hands looking into his wine colored. Like I did when I always looked into his eyes I felt a small shiver run up and down my spine. I did love Huey but, now I realized, not that way and I think he knew that too. "Huey please, just please tell me the truth." I said softly.
"That is the truth. I love you Sophie."
"No you don't."
"Oh so what we went through was nothing?" he asked.
I pulled away standing up. "Fine don't tell me just go ahead lying and let the REAL love of your life run away." I started to walk down the hill when Huey arms went around me pulling me back.
He bent down kissing me and even though I was mad, I kissed him back. Just like before all the love that used to be there just wasn't, for neither of us. He pulled away and then shook his head.
"You're right, the spark is gone." he said.
I nodded somewhat sadly. Then touched the side of his face softly. "So please tell me what's going on here." I said.
He sighed. "Fine, but's sorta a long story..."
Flashback...
He rolled his eyes and scooted closer to me. "Listen Freeman, You're not gonna hurt my little girl anymore." he said his voice going surprisingly low.
I looked over to him raising one eyebrow. "What do you mean."
"You're going to do something for me." he said.
"Oh yea? Like what?" I asked.
His eyes looked fierce and he smirked as he started to explain. " I know all about the other girl Sophie who's in the competition You love her right?" he asked.
I looked at him unsure. "I guess." I said.
He chuckled. "Oh Huey don't lie, I know you do. So tomorrow you're gonna go and choose that Sophie girl and stay OUT of my little girls life." he said.
I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "Tom you can try to threaten me all you want but your threats are a waste of my time if I try to give a fuck and you and me both know I can snap your thin ass in two without even breaking a sweat." I said.
Hes hook his head. "Huey even though that is very true I doubt Jazmine wants to see her father in a hospital and her boyfriend being the reason. Besides she has someone for her anyways." he said and a smirk slowly started to form on his lips.
"What?"
He shrugged. "I like him. Daniel is a good boy and know's what he wants to do in his life. They would make an amazing couple." he said ignoring me.
"Jazmine doesn't like Daniel." I said in disbelief that he would make up such a stupid lie.
He shrugged. "That's not what she said yesterday when their lips were locked together." he looked back at me. I scowled at him angrily and he chuckled again. "And if that doesn't convince you maybe this will." he brought out a few pics of the building Cairo had. He flipped through them showing me throwing down the lighter and killing him.
I looked at him shocked. "How do you know?" I asked.
He ignored me again. "How the fuck are you gonna put my little girls life in danger?" he asked angrily.
"I didn't she CHOSE to come and if you and your whore of a wife would listen for a minute you would know that!" I yelled back angrily.
He stood up angrily and I did the same glaring at him. He sighed chuckling and sat back down. "Listen Huey I like you, you're a nice kid just not for Jazmine." I still stood balling up my fist. "Which is why if you do so happen to choose her I'm gonna show this to the police." he said.
"And tell them what?" I challenged.
"That you not only killed someone but broke into an abandoned house, and endangered many people." he said and again the creepy smirk came across his face.
I glared at him but sat back down thinking it over. He had played his cards right and here in Virginia you could be put to life in prison for anyone of those things. I looked back at him. "Tom you don't scare me I'm choosing whoever the hell I want." I said.
He shrugged. "Fine then why don't we phone the police?" he asked he picked up the phone and started to dial the number. I stood my ground and glared at him even more ready to hit him. But I couldn't ignore the loud thumping of my heart and the pounding in my head. Either way I could be losing Jazmine, but going to jail would be losing both Jazmine and Sophie and everyone else.
"Hello?" the police asked.
Tom put on the mute button. "Now are you gonna cooperate?" he asked.
"Yes." I said through clenched teeth trying my hardest not to punch him and break that stupid smirk of his face.
He hung it up. "Good, it's for the best anyways. Now you're gonna choose Sophie. Do you understand?"
"Tom-" I started.
"Do you understand?" he asked again cutting me off.
I sighed. "Whatever."
Then Jazmine walked in smiling brightly at me. I looked at her feeling sad. "Goodbye Jazmine..." I thought. "Hey Huey!" she exclaimed happily.
End of Flashback...
I sat there mouth opened and at a complete loss of words. "So basically Tom threatened you?" I asked.
Huey nodded. I sat back letting my head rest against the big tree. Who Tom had the balls to do that? I mean, he's Tom Dubios! He's the most scared straight person ever. I looked over at Huey and realized why this whole time he was acting so mean. That was the old Huey that didn't want to show his real feelings so he masked them with anger at well everything. I reached giving him a hug. It's what I always do when I don't know what else to do. To my surprise he hugged me back. I stood up pulling him up with me.
"Come on." I said running down the hill.
"Where are we going?" he asked.
I gave him a small smile. "We're going to go get back our real lovers." I said.
He blushed. "Who said I love her?" he asked.
I raised one eyebrow as we both got into his car. "Um you don't have to." I said.
He nodded. "Maybe not to you. But to her yes." he started the car.
"Well drop me off first I gotta get ready." I said.
"For what?" he asked.
"Ceaser." I said like it was so simply. We pulled up to my house and I jumped out running to my door.
I felt slightly bad. I caused all that trouble just for nothing but at the same time I'm glad I did. I think me and Huey, maybe all of us were taking advantage of our relationships. We tested boundaries because we knew we could come right back and now we know we can't. I know I said I love Huey and I do but I love Ceaser more. I opened my closet pulling out the best outfit for this situation. Yea I do love Ceaser and I was gonna prove just how much.
Ceaser's POV:
I had completely forgot about my soccer game, that has never happened, because of Sophie. Fuck her and Fuck Huey for choosing her. Yea Jazmine texted me and told me. My game had been off the whole first half of the game. I knew the whole team was counting on me and so was my coach but I just couldn't get into the game. How would you feel if this happened to you? Not only that but some huge guy from the other team has been all on my ass ever since the game started.
"GET YOUR GOD DAMN HEAD IN THE GAME CEASER!" coach yelled right in my face.
"Looks like Micheal Ceaser game is off." The people said.
"I heard hos girlfriend goes out with his best friend." the other man said.
"Whoa really? Can you say slut?" he asked and the crowd and them erupted in laughter.
I growled angrily. "I'm ready." I said.
"Like hell you are." coach spat.
"I said I'm ready!" I yelled.
He looked at me then rolled his eyes in disgust. "Fine, get in the game and win it for us!" he yelled.
I nodded and me and the rest on the team ran out on the field taking our places. The game started and I erased everything from my mind only focusing on the ball. The guy was right on my butt and coming closer and closer to me, I quickly kicked my ball over to my other team mate. He literally growled and knocked me down. The ref made no foul so I got back up chasing over to the ball. I quickly passed him, flicking him off and my team mate kicked the ball back to me. I brought my leg up ready to kick.
"CEASER!" I heard someone yell.
I looked up and there was Sophie. She wore a v-neck black and white ref shirt and a pair of short black shorts. She had her hair in a sloppy bun and she was holding a huge sign that I could really make out the words. She smiled even more when she saw me staring. I couldn't help the smile that came over my face. The it happened. The huge guy came out of nowhere knocking me down. And not a small push he punched me down. I fell letting the darkness sink in.
"Ceaser!" I heard someone shriek. I looked up and Sophie looked down at me worried. Then my eyes closed and darkness set in.
Sophie's POV:
I smiled even more when he saw me and he smiled back. Then some fugly guy came out of nowhere punching him right in the face. I gasped dropping my poster and running full speed to the field. I jumped down the stands which actually shouldn't be humanly possible but I had great balance. I got their before even the people on the field themselves. I shoved everyone back and looked down at Ceaser.
"Ceaser!" I shrieked. He looked at me dazed then his eyes closed and he fell out. I turned back to the guy. "You bastard!" I yelled and jumped up attacking him.
He tried to pry me off of him and it took him and 5 other guys just to do that. His nose was bleeding and he looked at me slightly scared.
"Yea your butt betta be scared!" I yelled at him.
"Look calm down miss. We're gonna take him to the locker room where the nurse can check up on him ok?" the coach said.
I nodded. "I'm coming." I said watching while the guys carried him to the locker room.
I sat there while the nurse checked him, she said everything was fine and he might just have a slight headache when he wakes up. I nodded and lifted Ceaser's head letting it rest on my legs. I stroked his face and bent down and kissed his cheek. My eyes watered slightly.
"I'm sorry Ceaser." I whispered.
His eyes opened like some Sleeping Beauty shit. He looked at me and smiled. "Sophie what are you doing here?" he asked.
I giggled and as he sat but threw myself at him hugging him tightly. He looked at me shocked and pulled me back. "Sophie I don't think Huey would like you doing that." he said.
I raised one eyebrow. "Huey?" I asked.
"Yea your boyfriend." he said. "Jazmine texted me."
"Oh." I said. "Me and Huey aren't together." I said simply.
"Why not?" he asked.
"It's a long story." I said and didn't give him time to talk just bent over kissing him slowly and deeply. He hungrily kissed me back. There, that was the spark I thought I had with Huey. The thing was I didn't. We pulled apart and I had a goofy smile on my face.
"So what did the poster say?" he asked reaching over and pulling me closer to him.
I snuggled into his chest. "Sophie loves Ceaser." I said softly.
He looked at me and his eyes showed nothing but love. He bent down kissing me again and I happily kissed him back. He hugged me tighter against him.
"Oh you're ok." the coach said startling us.
"Yea." Ceaser said smiling at me as I blushed.
"Well come on, no time for more kissing." he said with a smirk.
Ceaser bent down kissing my cheek then left. "Good relationship?" someone asked.
"Yea..." I turned around and froze. "Lamilton?" I asked.
He stood there and looked at with his uncaring eyes. "Yep. I ain't gon hurt you. Cairo dead and I fought Riley again. I'm good." he said.
I was already up in defense stance. "Then what are you doing here?" I growled fist balled.
He sat down and smirked. "Just wanted to deliver something." he walked away waving to me.
I didn't wave back I just stood there still in shock.
"Hey baby forgot my water bottle. What's wrong?" he asked.
"Lamilton was just here." I said.
"What where?" he asked.
"He left. He said he was done and just left." I explained.
He sighed and picked up his water bottle and wrapped his arm around me. "Well is he coming back?" I asked annoyed by the silence.
He shook his head. "No he gone for good. One of the only people I knew to take seriously was Lamilton. If he said he's done trust me he's done." he said.
I nodded my head and before we left fully out Ceaser stopped twirling me around kissing me. It was a quick peck and I loved it.
"I love you Sophie." he said sincerely his eyes taking over. They surrounded me completely and showed nothing but love just like always. His voice practically oozed love.
I looked at him and felt a bit nervous. "I-I love you too Ceaser." I stammered but I meant what I said. With Huey it came out naturally like all lies do but this was sincere and I was nervous. Just putting my feelings and my heart out there was scary but it was worth it for Ceaser.
He bent down kissing me all over again. It was a beautiful, me and Ceaser back together again. I couldn't think of ever being happier. I'm so happy I didn't lose him. I'm so happy he still loved me. Now I could only hope that Huey and Jazmine are doing as good as us.
Jazmine's POV:
I slammed my room door and erupted in even more tears. Just to my luck my parents weren't home. I didn't feel like dealing with Sarah or daddy for that matter. Ever since him and Huey's talk Huey has been acting strange Oh god Huey. I busted out in more tears. Why can't he see that I love him? How come Sophie gets to walk up in here and steal him away from me? It wasn't fair! I wanted to happy, I told myself that I would be if he did choose her. But I was just so certain that he was gonna choose me. Bit he didn't... Ugh! I hate Huey! No I love him, still after all of this I still love him.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
I screamed into my pillow. Whoever that was could just go the fuck away because I wasn't opening the door. They knocked again louder this time. I stayed still and held my breath. "Just go away," I thought. "Please..." just my luck the knocking stopped. I sighed and became limp on my bed. Then out of nowhere I heard a crash. I gasped and scrambled and ran to my closet just as the door came open. I didn't look to see who it was just leaped out hitting the culprit with my shoe. He groaned and fell.
"GET THE FUCK OUTTA- Huey?" I asked in disbelief.
He stood back up dusting himself off and prying the shoe from my hand. "Your footing is off." he said he did a quick motion tripping me. Then helped me back up. I stumbled onto him. He seemed pleased to be so close to me. I pushed him away.
"Where's Sophie?" I asked trying to hide the jealousy in my voice.
He sighed as if knowing that I was jealous. It wouldn't surprise me, Huey could see right through me, he knew me and I knew him. The perfect couple, except we aren't a couple thanks to him.
"We aren't together." he said.
"I was there Huey I saw you choose her." I said crossing my arms over my chest.
"Jazmine please just listen-"
"And you know what? Even if you're aren't together I don't want any girls sloppy seconds." that sentence made me so mad. And I didn't even let him finish. I was tired of hearing Jazmine just listen, please listen, Jazmine you have to understand No I don't! I'm not that nice little girl anymore who always understood. If I was then I would understand why he chose Sophie over me and I just didn't.
"Jazmine please listen." he said desperately.
"No shut up!" I shrieked. He looked at me surprised. I was a bit too, I never ever had told Huey to shut up but I was just so dang mad. Before I knew it I was shoving him out my bedroom door. "Get out Huey Freeman and never come back!" I yelled.
He resisted and turned around stopping me. "Fine don't listen to me but if you want to know why I chose Sophie why don't you speak to your precious daddy." he said.
I stopped glaring and looked confused. "What do you mean?" I asked.
He bit his bottom lip. "Just ask him and when you're done promise you'll come talk to me." he said.
"I'm not promising shit to you." I growled.
He huffed annoyed and started to storm down the stairs.
"AND YOU'RE PAYING FOR A NEW DOOR!" I yelled after him.
The door slammed shut so loud I did cover my ears. I screamed and stormed back into my room slamming my door as if he could still hear me. I wish he could. I layed flat on my belly on my bed. Who is he to ask me to understand? He needs to understand that I'm not a second option. You either want me or you don't. That was the new Jazmine, the one that didn't take shit from anybody. First starting with my wardrobe. I opened it and took out anything I thought was too girly, later I would go shopping for new clothes. But as always an annoying voice in the back of my head kept wondering what he meant.
"Fine don't listen to me but if you want to know why I chose Sophie why don't you speak to your precious daddy."
What the hell was that about?
"Sweetie I'm home!" my daddy yelled from downstairs.
Guess I was gonna find out sooner than later.
