I handed Jasmine her glass and sat down next to her. She finished fixing her bandanna and tip a sip of her drink after reaching for it. To be quite honest she's looking good, even with this terrible situation. Other than most of her hair is becoming thin, she's in good spirits.
"Thank you Nessa. I really appreciate you keeping me company while they're at the store. Are you doing ok?"
"Hmm? Oh yes ma'am, just a little tired." I gave her a semi-smile.
"I'm the one that's sick and should be sad. I can see it all in your face that you're upset about something. So come on and tell me."
"I'm ok,honestly!" I didn't want to talk about this anymore. "How are you doing, did the doctors say anything about your chemo?"
"Well...it's not doing anything. They said that the chemo isn't working as fast as they hoped. I won't lie and say that I'm not scared but I've lived my life, you know?"
"It's going to be ok! So don't even talk like that."
She laughed and placed her hand on my leg. "I love how optimistic you're trying to be, but that's just the horrible reality of this situation."Before I could get my sentence out, Dustin and his stepdad walked in with the groceries. I looked back at Jasmine and she stood up and walked into the kitchen. "My boys are back finally! We are starving."
"Momma you need to sit down and rest. Let us cook for you, plus the doctor said that you need to get as much rest as possible."
"Alright alright!" She grabbed a cookie and sat back down on the couch.
I walked over to the other bags and started to put the food up. Dustin stood next to me and poked my arm, even though he said sorry...I just feel weird. The fake grin that appeared on my face did not amuse him, he just sighed and continued to put the stuff away.
His stepdad took a couple of bags outside to their grill and Jasmine followed him, it was just Dustin and I standing in the kitchen looking at each other. Why do I feel awkward being next to him? It's like even though he apologized...I just don't know.
"I bought you some candy..."
"Thank you..."
