NylaPOV
       After Jazmine finished doing my make up, I put on my yellow sundress and fluff my hair out a little. After everyone was ready and dressed we made our way to the Freemans where Grandaddy Robert had dinner ready.
Michael,Cindy and Mia was already here. Uncle Ruckus,while wearing a MAGA hat,was in the living room watching Donald Trump on TV while Uncle Reezy was setting up the table in the kitchen. He seemed upset while Cindy & Michael looked like they was worried about something .
           I can't help but notice the atmosphere in the room was different and Cindy just whispered something to Jazmine that made her furious .
    The entire vibe from everyone was dry until Grandaddy Freeman opened the door for Mr.Wuncler who showed up with his grandson Ed the iii and Ed's friend Rummy. Mr.Wuncler said hello to everyone while Ed and Rummy went to the kitchen with Uncle Reezy.
"Ed? What are you doing here?" Grandaddy Freeman ask.
"Well we heard through the grapevine your missing grandson isn't missing anymore plus I love your cooking so why not join the celebration?"
Missing grandson? Mr.Wuncler never came to any of my birthday parties but he's suddenly here for that? Bullshit.
"Huey? Oh he's here. It was a surprise and technically that's not the reas.-"
"Excellent! I can go ahead &see the boy now"
Was he serious? Where is this person stealing my thunder anyway?
Soon as that thought popped up the man I saw earlier with Michael was coming down the stairs. Now I can see him a little closer.
       He was wearing a black sweater with black jeans. If I had to guess he was about 6'1,thick eyebrows, mocha skin, not too muscular and his Afro was the same texture as mine and Jazmine. I saw he had maroon eyes like uncle Reezy and Grandaddy Robert and that's how I knew this was the guy in all the pictures. This was Riley's brother and the man that made everyone sad whenever mentioned. Whatever Mr.Wuncler was talking to him about made him wear this scowl on his face. Funny thing I don't noticed it but Mia tells me I sometimes scowl or mean mug people for whatever reason. I can't help if people are stupid and I make a face.
After his conversation with Wuncler he sat on the couch and pulled out a book so I decided to take the opportunity to sit and make conversation. As I made my way to him I see out of the corner of my eye Jazmine was looking at me and gasped.
"Hi! I'm Nyla." I pulled out my hand but he wouldn't take it
"Huey" he said dryly. He didn't even look up.
"So what are you reading? Looks interesting."
He scowls again then a heavy sigh.
"Barrack Obama: the audacity of hope" now that made me excited.
"Really!? I finished that last year now I'm reading Becoming by Michelle Obama" I looked up and saw Jazmine smiling. She seemed really happy until...
"Yeah whatever kid."
"Um ok......So...What other kinds of books are you into?" I only wanted to be nice since he was considered family and we've never met but this guy wasn't budging.
"Listen kid I'm glad you're into reading and all but I'm really not in the mood for conversation"
Rude much?
Then Dasia and Mia popped up then Dasia spoke first.
"Yo my guy she was only being nice what's your problem?" Mia spoke up next
"Yeah she only wanted to speak to you. She was being cool."
"Well I appreciate the effort" Huey replies "but I don't want to be bothered especially by children."
Dasia and Mia was heated and was just about to say something else until I cut in. My friends knew I had no problem defending myself and clapping back but they always insisted on doing it for me because I was always so quite.
"You know what that's ok sir. I thought since you're considered family I'd thought I'd introduce myself properly. You must have lots of friends back home being alone must be so fulfilling " I responded back with quick sarcasm.
    I looked over at Jazmine again and now she looked PISSED. She was absolutely livid. She didn't say anything but got up and left. Huey saw this too and followed her into the hallway. I tell my friends we should follow them to check it out and see if everything is fine(actually I wanted to be nosey.) While we stood behind the corner Jazmine was headed to Uncle Ruckus's room until Huey grabs her arm and she turns around. Jazmines face was saying it all. This is where the phrase "if looks could kill" comes in mind. If that was true this man would die right there and I would too. It was quite until Jazmine said something.
"What do you want? I have a lot to say to you but not without slapping you."
"Jazmine, I just want to say I'm sorry" he responded
She scoffs "sorry for what exactly?"
"For everything and the way I le.." but she didn't let him finish his statement.
"EVERYTHING? like what? Are you sorry for trying to corrupt my childhood with your crack piped theories? All those times you made me cry because I liked ponies and believed in the tooth fairy? When you belittled me and made me feel stupid in front of people when you're supposed to be my best friend? Blew me and Ceaser off for Angela? Or how about the worse? When you fucked me that night knowing you was leaving me and wasn't coming back for over 13 years?"
Wow that guy really was an asshole. This who they mourned over for so many years?
"Jazmine please! I know I was wrong for that and the guilt has gotten to me everyday. I couldn't stop thinking about you."
"You should feel guilty. The way you left us all behind like it was nothing! We loved you and cared about you even after you was gone"
"Just let me make this right!"
"No,fuck you!" She spat out while pointing at him "You had nothing but time on your hands to make things right. You don't even know what you did to me or how I was impacted the most. I was only a body to you."
"Jazmine please! Im sorry i need you to forgive me." Now he was pleading.
"And the way you treated a 13 year old, that only wanted to be friendly, just now shows me you didn't change at all. Listen keep your little apology and do me a favor? Get the FUCK away from me!" with that she entered the room and slammed the door in his face. Huey saw the 3 of us peeping from the corner but he didn't seem to care. He just sighed and walked away with his hands in his pockets.
        I really felt bad for Jazmine. This man really hurt my sister and broke her heart. I left my friends and ran straight to the room. I wasn't surprised it was unlocked. I saw my Sissy's face  was red and her eyes was puffy clouded with tears. All I wanted was to comfort her.I ran and gave her the biggest bearhug within my strength. She use to do this for me when I was little during her visits. She hugged me back as tight as she could and said in between sniffles
"Thank you........so much"
I didn't say anything I just kept hugging her.
"Treasure.....I love you so much and nothing will ever change that."
    I believed her. I'm not sure how I feel about Huey Freeman. Sure Grandaddy Robert and Uncle Reezy had him back again and mom & dad was glad everything was complete  but 1)he took the attention away from me on MY birthday 2) He was incredibly mean to me for no reason and 3) he made Jazmine cry and hurt her.
Maybe I liked it better when he was "missing".

End chapter.
Well Huey and Nyla finally met and already got off on the wrong foot. Jazmine is still mad at Huey for disappearing and still feels some type of way.
