Buried Treasure (a boondocks fanfiction)

Decisions

Nyla POV
That conversation with Jazmine was well......eye opening. Confusing, questionable,batty,strange....but overall eye opening. She asked me if I wanted to live with her again but honestly I really don't know if I wanted to. She said I can let her know when I'm ready and I'm always invited.
     Sarah and Tom came back home to relax in their room. I wanted to talk so I lightly knocked on the door.
"Come in." Tom answered.
"Hi can we talk?" I asked as I opened the door
"Sure snooky" Sarah replies "so what would you like to talk about?" She sat on the bed next to me.
"So is it Grandma now?"
Her whole face dropped.
"No! It's not. I'm not that old.
"Sure you aren't granny."
"Nyla!"
"What? You are my grandparents so what else do I call you guys?"
"Well certainly none of that."
"Whatever."
She sighs"listen Nyla, we know this is difficult to process but we are still your parents. All we wanted was the best for you and we are doing everything we can."
"Sure. I guess you're right. You gave me everything I've ever wanted and needed but why didn't you just be honest with me from the start? I thought we shared everything?"
"Oh baby I'm sorry. We wanted to help Jazmine and you and I bonded just like that. I got used to it."
"Oh ok. Jazmine and I talked this morning."
She hesitated and stared into space before she talked again.
"Really?What did you talk about?"
"Everything. About Huey, her time in high school and me. She wants me to come home with her."
"Absolutely not. I already said-"
"Saarrahh." Tom interrupted "We talked about this."
"But Tom"
"No buts. Do I need to put you in check?"
"No Tom."she answers dry and sarcastically
He doesn't really "put her in check" like that she just lets him think he does.
"Thank you Sarah, now Nyla we just want you to know we love you and Jazmine."
"Thanks. Love you too." I go to hug him then I get back to Sarah.
"How come you didn't ask me first?"
"Because I know what's best."
"But I wanna have a say so"
"Oh sweetie that's no place for you. You live here with all your friends and you're doing so good in school."
"So?"
"So you don't need to right now. Jazmine doesn't know what she's doing."
"You're making decisions for me."
"Fine then. Do you really want to go?"
"I don't know yet."
"Well all I'm saying is Jazmine is irresponsible you'd be the adult in the house."
But what if I wanted to be the adult? What if I wanted to take care of Jazmine? Clearly she needs me.
"Well Nyla whatever you want to do I'll consider."
"Aww Thank you."
"And baby. I don't wanna accept this but.....could you call me 'Nonna' instead? You're my little girl and I love raising you.I don't wanna loose that."
"We don't have to." I said then we hugged and she kissed me on my forehead.
"Well you can call me the champagne papi."Tom inserts
"Drake?"
He nods his head yes
"No way,that's lame. How bout panda?"
"Sounds good to me. Now you have fun with Nonna. Im headed to work. Bye honey."
He left and Sarah went to the kitchen to start dinner.
Mia came back over to chat with me & Dasia again.
"Y'all will not believe the kind of day I'm having. Did you guys know my bio dad is a terrorist and I couldn't get adopted by another family cause of that?"
"Really?"
"Uh huh"
"No way"
"Yes way"
"So Jazmine like rough necks huh?"
"Yup"
"This like a real life Telenovela"
"Messy."
"Sus I don't see how you handle all this new information. It's too much not to mention yo mom and Michael was fuckin. That's crazy"
"DASIA!"
I forgot she has a big mouth.
"What?"
"Mia is here" I said pointing at Mia whose head was tilted to the side.
"Oh? My bad girl."
I just shook my head at her
"Wait that's true?"
"Hell yeah. her alleged daddy and my mom was together too."
Mia's eyes was like saucers now
"Do you have to say alleged tho?"I asked
"He's the one that wants the test."
"So Jazmine has a kid,being you, with Huey who dated Mrs.Davis,Dasia's mom, who did ballet with Jazmine who slept with my brother whose best friend is Huey and now my brother is engaged to Cindy who was also friends with Jazmine?" Mia asked
I nodded my head yes
"I thought the whole Blac Chyna/Kardashian/family tree was confusing." Dasia added
"I'm telling y'all Woodcrest is and was always the ghetto. All that foolishness before any of us was born" I said
"So what are you going to do about Jazmine? Wouldn't it be awkward around her?" Mia asked
"I honestly don't know.She wants me to move in with her."
Mia and Dasia got excited.
"That's wonderful."
"Yeah try it out."
"It's in New York"I informed them
"Oh for real?"
"Yeah"
"Well it's only 3 hours away."
"That's too far away. I won't get to see my best friends , I have school, my book club and all other extracurricular activities."
"But do you really wanna go tho?"
I kinda do just to make Jazmine happy. I do want to travel before college but it's too much to risk.
"Yeah but what about us? We've never been separated. There is no Beyoncé solo artist just destiny's child. Would you separate The Migos?"
"First of all." Dasia started "you can't compare destiny's child. Destiny's child been changing members more than the view changes co host. It was always about Beyoncé's solo career."
"Yeah and Quavo doesn't seem to have a problem with solo projects. As a matter of fact Takeoff just dropped an album" Mia added
"Yeah but the Migos is still a movement together and Beyoncé takes Kelly & Michelle to the Super Bowl & Coachella shows."
"Exactly so when we get bigger you can just take us to the super bowl with you. It's the 21st century we can always Skype,call on three way, Facebook,text,dm. Don't let us hold you back." Dasia explained
"So are you saying I'm the Beyoncé now?"
"Girl bye. You still Blue/Solange. Yo mom/sister is Beyoncé remember?"
"Dang"
Mia's turn to speak now.
"Hey remember how all of them are connected in some way? This sounds kinda weird but doesn't this mean it was meant for us to be together?Don't you see? We're soulmates!"
Now she's clapping like a sea lion
"What?"
"It was God's plan after all."
"You know what?" Dasia started "you on to something."
"Like...????"
"Think about it all our folks kinda have messed up history with each other right? If our friendship can stand that we can handle the distance."
That made sense
"I see what you saying"
"But the decision is yours tho. I'm going to ask again. Do you really want to go?"
"Yeah but..."
Dasia interrupts "You did say you didn't know Jazmine that well. Just go,spend some time with her and see where it goes."
"And no matter what we'll be right here."Mia assures
"Just let us know what you wanna do. We won't care cause we'll always back you up."

I walk in the living room where my nonna(Sarah)watched "The price is right"
and Jazmine walked through the door coming back from a nail salon.
"Hey can I talk to you both for a minute"
They both agreed and Nonna put the tv on mute. Jazmine sat on a separate couch. I stood in the middle of the room.
"I talked with Dasia and Mia and I've made a decision."
They waited.
"I wanna live with Jazmine."
"Really?" Jazmine squealed. She's as excited as little child on Christmas morning.
"Yeah."
She jumped up and threw her arms around me and smothered me in kisses.
"I'm so happy. This is what I've always wanted. It's going to be great" A teary eyed Jazmine said.
"But not today. I want to go in exactly 1month."
"That's fine. It's perfect. I've waited so long for you and me to be together. You can bring DeeDee. I have a dog too. We're going to be just fine."
"Nyla." Nonna called "are you sure about this?"
"Yes. I had a lot of time to think it over and talked about it with my friends."
"Alright then" Nonna then turned to Jazmine "Jazmine will you come with me? We need to have a talk in private."
So Jazmine followed her upstairs.
Welp I'm starting over. In a month I'm leaving woodcrest and all my friends for a new city. Which means I won't have Sarah & Tom just Jazmine. I'll have to change schools too. Changes. More changes. That's just what I needed.What have I gotten myself into?
