Jazmine Dubios POV
I came back down from New York to my hometown Woodcrest. After I spoke to daddy I saw her. She's my Treasure and today was the day I had wanted to do for so long and I finally get to do it. Nothing and no one will stand in my way. Not even my mother.She looked the same. Just older and bigger. Light skin with a brown hue( she's a shade or 2 darker than me). The biggest Hazel (green/brown) doe eyes I've ever seen. They made her look like a deer. Heart shaped face. Full lips. Black hair. She definitely had a big kinky fro. There was no escaping that. But at least she had pride in the texture of her hair. Mom made sure of it this time.
She's smart too,She reminds me so much of H-
"Jazmine?"my father interrupts my thoughts "can you help in the kitchen?"
"Sure daddy" I finished unpacking in the guest room,which use to be MY room, and made my way downstairs but I made sure to bring the photo album I just finished. I wanted to show mom.
As I enter the kitchen I see my dad at the stove and mom with a cake.
"So what you need?" I asked and mom was the first to respond.
"Can you put the frosting on Nyla's cake?" She hands me the cake and icing and we start talking.
" So what brings you in town? How long will you be staying?" She asked
"Well only for a week and you know I would never miss any of Nyla birthdays. I'm not a complete failure that brought shame to our family or a deadbeat like you make me out to be." I spat then she rolls her eyes.
"Now Jazmine, you know I would never say anything like that and I didn't mean for the way your last trip ended."
Sighs "mommy it's fine. It really is. You and I both say things we regret, we get over it, we're good again and repeat. No biggie"
"Well then" she smiled. "So how is New York going for you?"
"Well as you know I've been working at the hospital for 2 years now and I finally have my own place and had it for a year. I finally feel like I'm really getting my life together. It's almost complete"
"Oh really......you're finally getting it together and being an adult after all this time?"
Mommy really knew how to test my patience and push my buttons. Ok so I hit a couple of bumps since I left(ok maybe a lot of bumps) but I'm really trying here. She just won't let things go and shit hits the fan. God it'll kill her to cut me some slack.
"Sarah honey that's enough" dad spoke up. Thank goodness for daddy "she's doing well for herself let's give her credit"
"Tom I'm just saying after all these years she's finally progressing and being responsible"
Damm! I love my mom to death and we was once really close but now she's a fucking bitch,for lack of better words.
"Well let's talk about my surprise" I said trying to change the subject.
I finished the cake already so I got up and handed them the photo book.
"Ok so this is a little project I made for her over the years. I want you to know her birthday isn't the only reason I came"
As they looked and saw all the pictures place in the book my mother looked confused and pissed.
"Jazmine what is all this about? And what other reasons?" She looked at me with one eyebrow raised.
"Well I figure it's time for her to know. I'm finally ready"
"You can't give her this."
What the hell?
"Why not"
"You might be ready but she's not ready for something as big as this. Besides her life is fine the way it is and nothing needs to change right now." My dad was next to speak up
"Sarah, we knew this was bound to happen." now she's facing him
"Yes but that was before I knew she would take so long to do it"
"Well I want to do this now" I said "and we had a deal"
"And now I'm seeing it wasn't a good idea."
"What makes you think she's not ready?"
"Because she isn't!"
"Well she's going to know someday"
"Well today is NOT the day!" Now she was angry "You will not ruin this day for her. Understood?"
I shook my head yes.
"Good." She said before she walked away.
I tried my best to hold them back but nope that wasn't going to happen and I started bawling right there. My dad came to my side and gave me a big bear hug like he did when I was little.
"Why.....does ....she.... hate me?" I said in between tears.
"Oh peaches she doesn't hate you, she's just scared that's all"
"I'm scared too. I have been for 13 years. But I need to do this. It's long overdue."
"I understand but your mother just likes things the way they are for now."
"I won't give her the photo album I'll just get her another charm"
SHIT!
I can't believe what just happened. I had this all planned out.
Why does she want to keep me away so bad?
I love her and I love Treasure I just want to make everything right. I'll be quite for now but I wasn't going back to New York without a fight.
End chapter.
Well that's all wasn't much tho
Remember to comment and add nice constructive criticism and suggestions.
Also what's is Jazmine trying to do and why wont Sarah let her? About to write chapter 3 immediately.
