Taking chances

Sleepover with the gang

*15 minutes later*

Grace: *went up to check and see how jasmine was getting on with packing* hey kiddo! That's your grandma here for whenever you're ready *smiles over at jasmine as she packs a few more things then heads down the stairs behind grace*

*Jasmine got to the bottom of the stairs and drops her stuff at her feet before running over and hugging her grandma. She was hiding her face in the crook of Santana's neck as she burst into tears all over again*

Elliot: *had just woken up and made his way down the stairs when he heard his grandma's voice* hey grandma! What are you doing here? *smiles from ear to ear as he wheeled himself over to give his grandma for a hug*

Santana: hey buddy! *smiles weakly as she sees his bloodshot eyes from crying so much* jasmine is gonna be coming to stay with me for a few days so grace and Anna can help you out with whatever you need.

Elliot: oh ok *looks between Santana and jasmine and smiles weakly because he can see that jasmine is upset about something and has possibly had a panic attack again. Therefor he needs to just respect that she wont want to be round him right now*

Jasmine: *can see that Elliot doesn't wanna go near her or talk with her right now because he always keeps his distance when she has a panic attack. But thats not the case this time round so she needs to clear the air* don't worry about me El! It wasn't a panic attack this time *smiles to reassure him*

Elliot: *takes a breath of relief* ok, thats good! Ill be here to talk and catch up with you whenever you are ready *smiles*

Jasmine: thanks big bro! *smiles and gives Elliot a big hug*

Elliot: no problem little sis! *smiles at jasmine*

Santana: alright sweetheart! Lets get going so we can be back for lunch. Your auntie M is cooking your favourite *smiles as she sees jasmines mood instantly improve*

Jasmine: awesome! *smiles at her grandma then starts to give hugs goodbye to Elliot and the girls before grace helps carry her little case out to Santana's car*

Grace: *was stood by the passenger door where jasmine was seated* behave yourself otherwise Santana is gonna end up with even more grey hairs before she wants them. *gives jasmine a warning look but laughs with the teen as they see Santana flipping her off*

Santana: be careful missy because i can easily reverse right now and that door will hit you. *points to the passenger door that grace is crouched down beside*

Grace: alright, I'm going... jeez! *gives jasmine one last kiss on the cheek then closes the car door before standing on the pavement to wave them off*

*back at Santana's house!

Santana: *parks her car then turns the engine off and turns to look at jasmine* you ready to be attacked by your auntie M's big hugs?

Jasmine: yeah! Ill be fine *laughs because she knows how Mercedes gives the longest hugs to the ones she loves because she lives so far away and can rarely visit*

Santana: alriiight, if you say so! *smiles at the teen then they both get out the car and go into Santana's house*

Mercedes: *heard Santana and jasmine come in the front door so she stops what she is doing and goes to greet jasmine* hey! There's my favourite person ever. *holds her arms out so jasmine can give her a hug*

Santana: *playfully rolls her eyes at her bestie because she says the same thing to Santana when they see each other each time she visits* yeah... that has lost its affect because you say the same thing to me all the time *laughs as do the girls*

Mercedes: *playfully glares at san* shut it you! It's jasmine's night to get all the attention for once. *was referring to how clingy Santana used to be with Brittany and would hate if she got a little too friendly with her people. She would always have to reassure san that she is the only woman that Brittany could truly care about to the extent that she did with Santana in their relationship*

Santana: *knew exactly what Mercedes was doing so she just laughed at her then playfully stormed off as if she was truly offended*

Mercedes: *was laughing at her bestie then she turned back to the teenager* can you believe that woman used to threaten people into thinking she was a tough guy. *laughs because they both know that Santana does it as a defence mechanism to keep her walls up so her feelings stay protected*

Jasmine: i know right! *knows exactly what her grandma is like so jasmine just laughs and goes along with joking about the whole situation*

Santana: *was sat in the living room with everyone else and heard everything Mercedes and jasmine were saying* I HEARD THAT...

Mercedes: *follows jasmine as they head into the living room to see everyone* yeah, i know! *speaks so casually and smiles at san then sits next to her hubby that was on the opposite side of the couch from Santana*

*they all get lost in conversation with each other and keep it light so they don't trigger jasmine in any way that will make her upset or worse, a panic attack*

*10 minutes later, Damian and Mercedes were serving up the lunch then sat in the 2 empty seats across from Sam and sugar, while Santana and jasmine took the heads of the table. Jasmine tried to keep up with the chat and not get overwhelmed with her thoughts but today was just one of those days where she felt physically unwell from everything*

Jasmine: *looked up and saw that Santana was looking at her with worry. jasmine smiles weakly then decided to send a text to her grandma instead of having all eyes on her*

*Santana's phone! message from "my little jazzy bear"*

My little jazzy bear: i don't feel well *sad face*

*jasmine's phone! Message from "grandma Snixx"

Grandma Snixx: its ok sweetheart! How bout we cuddle on the couch and watch a movie? *love heart*

*Santana's phone! Message from "my little jazzy bear"*

My little jazzy bear: id love that! *smiley face*

*jasmine looked up from her phone and smiled at her grandma before Santana turned to her guests to speak*

Santana: *looks at all her friends* for those of you who can make it too the couch are more than welcome to come and watch a movie *smiles as everyone laughs at Santana calling them old, even though it's exactly how she feels these days and she can't deny it*

*once the table was cleared everyone made their way to the living room and found their spots on the couch then tried to decide on a movie they all wanted to watch*
