Chapter 34

YOUR P.O.V.

*later that night*

Jasmine- *hugs you* Thank you so much Y/N

Y/N- No, thank you for keeping me sane.. *looks at Sia* Bye sweetie

Sia- *hugs your legs tightly* Bye Y/N!

Jasmine- *laughs* Come on, let's get in the car.. *walks to the car with her*

Jermaine- *hugs you* I'm off then.. *walks off*

Y/N- *pulls him back* Oh, no you're not

Jermaine- *laughs* Y/N, come on, what the hell?

Y/N- What have you got up your sleeve?

Jermaine- *looks at you confused* My arm..? What the fu..

Y/N- No. Jermaine, I know you. And I know you ain't just thinking of putting Jasmine up at yours for tonight. 

Jermaine- *folds his arms* Did Diggy put you up to this?

Y/N- He didn't have to. I already know from when you looked at her and offered her your house to stay at

Jermaine- *laughs* It's nothing

Y/N- *squeezes his wrist* It better be nothing

Jermaine- *pulls away from you* Ow! Shit man *holds his wrist* *screws you*

Y/N- Remember that ain't the worst I can do. Take care of her. And not by putting her in your room...

Jermaine- *rolls his eyes* Whatever... *gets in the car*

Y/N- *walks in the house* *closes the door* Diggy, your brother is too sly...

Diggy- Don't even have to tell me twice.. but part of me thinks nothing's gonna happen

Y/N- How do you know?

Diggy- Jasmine has a man? Remember? And a daughter. She has her whole life.. and she's strong. Jermaine wants her more than she'll ever need him. And she doesn't need him

Y/N- *shrugs* Maybe you're right.

Diggy- I pray to God that I am *sits on the couch* *turns on the tv*

JASMINE'S P.O.V.

He didn't live far at all... just out of the city and in a huge mansion near the outskirts of Brooklyn. It was beautiful. But my head kept telling me "Oh my God, you're staying at J Cole's house...". I was a fan and we bonded over it and a few glasses of wine after I put Sia to sleep.. he puffed on a cigar and I chilled while the radio played. He was so much more chill than I thought.. But I had to get the fangirl and sexual side of me out of my head and knock some sense in there instead.

Jasmine- *yawns* Oh.. Sorry *laughs a little* 

Jermaine- Someone's getting tired huh?

Jasmine- I think so.. *looks at her watch* Wow, it's really late

Jermaine- I'll show you to your room.. *gets up*

Jasmine- *follows him upstairs*

Jermaine- *approaches a room* *grabs the door handle* This is your room... *opens the door wider*

Jasmine- *gasps* Oh my God.. *walks in* It's so beautiful

Jermaine- *gazes at her* I know... *walks up to her* 

Jasmine- *turns around* *looks up at him* Oh..

Jermaine- *grabs her hand* *strokes it with his thumb*

Jasmine- *looks at their hands* *looks up at him*

Jermaine- *bites his lip*

*the next morning* 

DIGGY'S P.O.V.

*phone rings*

Y/N- *grumbles in bed* Diggy...

Diggy- *snores and talks in his sleep*

Y/N- *kicks him* Daniel!

Diggy- *jumps out of his sleep* What the fuck?

Y/N- Answer your damn phone *pulls the pillow over her ears*

Diggy- *whines and grabs it* *answers it* Hello?

Jermaine- What the fuck man?

Diggy- What?

Jermaine- Jasmine just... I ain't even know where she's gone

Diggy- What do you mean? Wasn't she at yours?

Jermaine- She was.. she slept here last night. Man, I was so close to getting in he..

Diggy- Nigga, did you try anything?

Jermaine- Of course I tried. Homegirl didn't want none of it. This has never happened before, not to me. 

Diggy- *chuckles* Losing your touch? Really? J Cole can't get a girl?

Jermaine- Shut the fuck up.

Diggy- *laughs a little*

Y/N- *kicks him* *grumbles* I'm tryna sleep..

Diggy- *rolls his eyes* *in a quieter voice* What happened?

Jermaine- Aite so we put Sia to sleep, we were chillin up in the living room, laughing and shit, then she started to get tired.. then I show her to her room and she was all impressed. So pull her a little closer and I'm boutta kiss her.. this girl just pats my arm and says "goodnight" so fast and pushed me out the room in ten seconds. She ain't even wanna kiss me!

Diggy- *raises his eyebrow and laughs* Did you check your breath?

Jermaine- How many times do I gotta tell you to shut up? Anyway, just a couple hours ago, she's grabbing her stuff, she's putting Sia's coat on says goodbye and leaves in her car while she's on the phone. Like it was an excuse not to talk to me. What the fuck?

Diggy- Bro, she just isn't that into you. Get over it

Jermaine- Whatever.. what you gon do with her?

Diggy- *scratches her head* I gotta find her a house.. I gotta find me a house. This apartment is getting too small...

Jermaine- You just noticed?

Diggy- Look, I gotta get up.. I have to go.

Jermaine- I'll speak to you later.. *hangs up*

Y/N- *rolls over in the bed* *looks at Diggy* You done making noise?

Diggy- *looks at you* Uh huh

Y/N- Good.. *kisses him* *rubs the bulge in his pants*

Diggy- *smirks* Aite. I see where you're going with this.. *kisses you deeper*

JASMINE'S P.O.V.

*a few days later*

I had to tell my boyfriend Karl about what Diggy had arranged, and what had happened at his mom's. He was so adamant that we move out of this house and into a new one.. Diggy insisted I find a new affordable house for us, he'd put down the deposit and sort the security out...

Jasmine- *walks in the house* Babe, I'm home! *goes back to her phone call* Yeah, that sounds great. I'm definitely coming for dinner... *puts her keys and bag on the table* *takes her shoes off* *walks in the living room* I just got home, I'll put Sia on the phone for you when I find her. She should be here with Ka.. *stops talking*

Justine- *holding Sia* Oh hey Jas *smiles* How was work?

Jasmine- *stares at her* Leave.

Justine- *pouts* Oh don't be like that.. me and Sia were just having fun together

Jasmine- Sia, come to mommy.. *picks up her phone* Sara, I'll call you back. *hangs up* 

Sia- *runs over to her mom*

Jasmine- *looks at Justine* Where the hell is Karl?

Justine- He's being taken care of. Upstairs.

Jasmine- *sniffs the air* Is that smoke? *hands Sia the phone* *whispers* I want you to go in the backyard and call daddy, okay? Tell him we're playing cops and robbers

Sia- *nods and runs off*

Justine- *runs up to her* *grabs her and put a knife to her throat*

Jasmine- *heart pumps viciously* *tries to escape her grip*

Justine- Now.. listen carefully.. and you won't get hurt. *ties her hands with rope*

Jasmine- *screams*

Justine- *stabs her* *throws her down* I told you.

DIGGY'S P.O.V.

*at home*

Diggy- *stares at his laptop and sighs*

Y/N- *walks over with his dinner* Babe.. take a break. You're meant to be working...

Diggy- I am.

Y/N- That's a property site. That's not work that the label made with you

Diggy- I can't do that now. cant. I gotta find Jasmine and Sia a house.

Y/N- Jasmine's on that. Leave it *kisses his cheek* You're overloading yourself and it's clear you're tired.

*phone rings*

Y/N- *walks over and answers it* Hello? Oh hi Sia...

Diggy- *looks over his shoulder* *looks at the laptop* *scrolls through the pages*

Y/N- Okay, hold on honey... *walks over to Diggy and hands him the phone* Guess who *smiles* *goes in the kitchen*

Diggy- *takes the phone and smiles* Hey sweetie

Sia- Hi daddy.

Diggy- What are you up to? You being good?

Sia- Yeah. We're playing cops and robbers

Diggy- Really? That sounds fun

Sia- Yeah *coughs*

Diggy- Baby, you got a cold?

Sia- No. The house is smokey

Diggy- *confused* Smokey? Why?

Sia- I don't know *coughs some more*

Diggy- *scratches his head* Is something burning? *looks at the clock* I think mommy just got home from work.. Is it just you and mommy playing, huh?

Sia- And grandma too. She came to play with us.

Diggy- A.. *stumbles on his words* What?

Sia- Mommy keeps screaming and grandma's shouting at her. And she's playing with Karl too. She took them upstairs. I think grandma's winning.

Diggy- *jumps out of his seat* Baby, I need you to hide, okay? Take the phone and hide in the backyard until I get there. Do not come out unless I say so, got it?

Sia- Okay

Diggy- *grabs his keys* *hangs up the phone*

Y/N- *sees him rushing* Woah, babe, what the hell's going on?

Diggy- *grabs you* We need to leave.

Y/N- *confused* But..

Diggy- Now Y/N! I'll tell you on the way..

JASMINE'S P.O.V.

Karl.. blood on his face, he was tied in the corner and couldn't even speak. He almost struggled to breathe, panting, wheezing.. he was in here far longer than I was... And me? I couldn't see. It was blurred.. I'm sure I coughed enough to spit blood out because the smoke in the room was filling the air.

I felt dizzy and weak. My arms hurt from all the slashes Justine gave me from the knife. And my stomach it beld and I could feel it. I was slowly losing a lot of blood. I felt it all drain away... I wanted to throw up at the thought of dying and leaving my daughter in her hands....

Justine- *smirks* I told you. I'll kill you if I have to, as long as she's never taken away from me.. and I told you not to put up a fight. This is what you both get. *laughs* Why don't any of you ever listen to me?

Jasmine- *coughs and struggles to breathe* I'll never let you have her..

Justine- *looks at her on the floor*

Jasmine- *shakes her head a little* *looks up at her weakly* Not my baby girl...

Justine- *clenches her fists* *walks over and kicks her hard*

Jasmine- *cries out in pain and weeps silently* 

Justine- *grins* She's mine now.
