Jasmine's P.O.V
*4 weeks after*When I found out what Marcus did to Chris, I knew I had to do something about it. I never really had a father figure in my life to help me understand how dudes process stuff in their mind. I wanted to figure out what it is my dad does. I don't blame him for leaving due to the condition he was in, but I soon hope to see him.
I asked my mom about him and this blank stare went into her eyes.
"Mom. Are you okay?"
"Yes sweetheart. It's just that I haven't talked to him since he left and-"
I cut her off because I noticed tears forming in her eyes so I wrapped my arms around her and let her cry into my chest.
"If your not ready to talk about him I understand." I told her while rubbing circles in her back. "Just let me know when you are."
"I am ready. It's just so much that you don't know. I don't want to pour it all on you." She said raising up from my hug.
"I think I've handled worse Ma." I said while chuckling.
"Tomorrow after school I will pick you up and we will talk about it over lunch."
"Okay." I said while rubbing the tears from her eyes with my thumbs.
"Just promise me that whatever I tell you doesn't affect you or our relationship." she said looking me in the eyes to let me know she was serious.
"Nothing will ever come between us." I promised as I let my forehead rest against hers. I don't know how long we were right there but our moment was interrupted when the door slammed open.
"I know y'all weak asses better not be in here crying." the person said. The voice sounded familiar but I couldn't really make it out until I removed myself from my mom and looked. The biggest smile came over me.
"Uncle T." I said as I ran over there and squeezed him tight. "I missed you so much." My uncle went away on a business trip 1 month ago and he came to visit me before he left. He is this muscular light skin with a beard.
"Don't hug me to tight Jas. And Alexa, I know for a fact your ass ain't crying over my brother." He told my mom. Uncle T is my dad's brother.
"And if I was." she snapped. "You wouldn't do a damn thing about it."
"You better be lucky Jas was right here because if she wasn't things would've gotten ugly up in this biatch." My uncle stated.
I playfully rolled my eyes and told them I was headed to the court for a little while. When I was walking to the court I got a message from my mom.
Mom❤️- Be home no later than 10. I love you and be safe.
I love you too
When I arrived at the court I noticed a couple of boys playing but I didn't pay them any attention. I wore my shoes that said 'R.I.P. Chris. You will always be my baby.' And kissed my shoe before I started hooping. I was shooting for about a good 10 to 15 minutes before I noticed that one of the dudes that were playing walked up to me. I looked up to see that he was the point guard at my school. I can't lie, he was fine as fuck and I've always had the biggest crush on him-
My thought would be soon interrupted when he asked what my name was.
"J-Jasmine." I stuttered.
"Nice to meet you Jasmine. I'm Andrew." He grabbed my hand and walked me to the other side of the court.
"Y'all. Meet Jasmine." He yelled.
I rose a brow confused on what he was doing until this boy wrapped his hands around my mouth to stop me from yelling. All I could think was no not again. He walked me to this part of the court where I've never been before. When we met our destination he released his grip from around my mouth and I gasped for air.
"Dude wtf is wrong with you." I yelled once I caught my breath. "I was about to-"
He quickly cut me off by saying, "I'm sorry. Before Andrew left he made a bet that he would come over with a girl."
"So. That don't mean almost kill me." I scowled.
"I'm sorry. My name is Corey."
"I'm Jasmine."
"Nice to meet you Jasmine. I didn't mean to come off as a complete and utter jerk."
"Well you did." I tried to walk off but he grabbed my arm and pulled me into him so we would be chest to chest, nose to nose.
"You think I would let you go after you yelled at me for saving you life when you were about to get raped." He whispered into my ear. He brought his nose back to mine but closer this time. Like, if I literally speak we would be kissing.
"You don't know how bad I want to kiss you." I whispered in his ear this time. Without any hesitation his lips connected to mine. I pulled back knowing what happened in the past and mentally cursed myself out.
"I'm sorry. I can't do this." I looked at my phone and noticed that it was 9:45. "Once again I'm sorry. I really have to go." I told him bye and sped off. When I got home it was 9:55. I walked in the house to smell my favorite RoTel dip cooking.
"Smells good Ma." I said as I was entering the kitchen.
"Thanks sweetheart."
I grabbed a bottle of water and walked out the kitchen when I heard my mom yell.
"Oh sweetie. I almost forgot. Your uncle is in your room waiting on you so he could tell you something."
"Thanks for the scare Ma." I said sarcastically as I was waving to my shirt that had water on it.
"Girllll. If you don't put that shit in the dryer." I laughed as I jogged up the stairs. I opened the door to reveal my uncle playing Fortnite.
"You bet not make me lose." I said making my presence known. He turned off the game and patted the bed so I could lay next to him.
"What is it that you wanted to talk about?" I asked him, breaking the tension that was slowly creeping it's way into my room.
"It's about your father."
When he said father I sat straight up and nodded my head to let him know that he can proceed.
"He's still alive."
All of a sudden, my vision went blurry from the tears starting to form. I blinked them back and started asking questions.
"When can I meet him? Where is he? Does mom know? What has he been doing all this time?"
"Jas, all your questions will be answered tomorrow when you go to lunch with your mom."
"Okay. But how long has he been alive?"
"Ever since he left."
"And y'all never thought to tell me." I yelled. At this moment I was fed up knowing that my dad could've been here with me but they wanted to keep it a secret. "I can't believe y'all would do this knowing how I felt. This could've all been-"
"Jas," My uncle told me in his warning voice. At this moment life was so fucked up I couldn't catch myself for what I was about to say.
"I don't give a fuck, Uncle T. Do you not know how long I've been waiting to hear if he was alive or not? It been 12 years Unc. 12 fucking years with heart break and misery. My boyfriend just died. My best friend just went to jail and now you're telling me my dads alive. Life's a bitch ain't it."
I could tell my uncle was hurt but I didn't care. I guess my mom heard me complaining and she opened the door. I looked towards it and said my last words. "I don't want to be bothered anymore. Just leave me alone... Please."
With that being said they walked out without saying another word to me. I laid down in my bed thinking how could they be so stupid knowing I'm the only child. I just want to see my dad again. I miss hearing his voice and I miss how he comforted me. I can't wait for our talk tomorrow. It's so much I still don't know and want to learn. That's all about to change tomorrow. With those thoughts trailing in my mind I grew tired and fell asleep.
Sorry for the wait😐 Writers block is a bitch but I'm back now.
