Taking chances

To old for this sh**

*Jasmine was in here own world while Carlos spoke on the phone, getting even more overwhelmed with thoughts telling her that she is such a waste of space and that her family would be better off without all her mental health issues that shes been through over the years and is clearly still very much affected by to this day* 

Carlos: *as soon as he got off the phone with Elliot he turned to look over at jasmine and saw that she was back to breathing heavily while her body shook uncontrollably. so he carefully reaches his hand over to hold jasmines hand and rub lightly over it to calm her down* you're ok jazzy! Take some deep breathes for me... just like this... *starts to take deep breaths in and out waiting for jasmine to copy him*

*a few minutes later jasmine finally gets her breathing back to normal but Carlos knows thats not the end of it because jasmine still wont make eye contact with him so she could easily slip back into her negative train of thoughts if Carlos doesn't distract her soon*

Carlos: hey jazzy! Snixx says its ok to go and visit her just now. Also i spoke with Elliot and he is doing ok so he says he'll be fine till we get back. *smiles at jasmine just waiting for her to look at him*

Jasmine: *stays with her head down and playing with her fingers* ok *speaks with no emotion at all*

*of course this worried Carlos but he knows there's not much he can do right now so he just starts the car up and makes his way to Santana so she can try to comfort jasmine a little more and hopefully get her to talk about what exactly is bothering her today*

Carlos: *pulls up outside the nursing home and sees Santana stood by the window so he waves at her then gets out the car to go round to jasmine's side* ...look jazzy, We're here! *was crouched down beside jasmine and held her hand to rub his thumb over it to keep her calm and focused on something other than her thoughts*

*Jasmine slowly lifts her head up just on time to see that Santana was walking towards the car*

Santana: *sees the state jasmine is in so she just puts her hand on Carlos' shoulder to make her presence known. Once he stands up and gives her a quick hug and they say their hello's, Santana then walks round and crouches down beside jasmine just like Carlos did* hey my little monkey! Mercedes' is so excited to see you and give you a big hug. *smiles as she tries to get jasmine to smile about seeing one of her favourite people* ...would you like to come in so we can scare her? *smirks because she knows how jasmine definitely wont be able to say no to that. Santana and her have always been like that because she knew how much it would wind Jessica up. Santana of course had the excuse of how she was just getting her back for all the times Jessica and Brittany would team up and do stuff like that to Santana back in the day*

Jasmine: *finally looks up and has a bit of a smile on her face as she looks at her grandma* ok! *she takes her seatbelt of then gets lead out the car and towards the front entrance by san. while Carlos gets jasmines bag then locks up before following the 2 woman into the home*

Santana: *sees Mercedes in the distance with her back to the door as she talks with her hubby* there she is... *whispers and smiles at jasmine as they carefully make there way over to Mercedes' chair. Santana saw that Damian could clearly see them so she just put her finger up to her lips and made a shushing motion so he gets the idea and just goes back to talking, making sure Mercedes doesn't get suspicious*

Jasmine: *got a nudge on the arm by san when they were close enough to Mercedes* BOO... *puts her hands on Mercedes shoulders quickly and sees her jump out her skin a little*

Mercedes: *should have known that Santana would set jasmine up to do something like that. So instead of giving jasmine the evil glare for scaring her, Mercedes looks straight at Santana instead* bitch... *gives Santana an unimpressed look while jasmine and Damian laugh at Santana trying to look all sweet and innocent*

Santana: *waists no time in pointing the finger* w-what did i do? She's the one that said it, not me! *playfully crossed her arms as if she is in a huff*

Mercedes: *laughs and playfully shakes her head at san then she gets up and greets jasmine, completely ignoring what just happened* hey... I missed you! *wraps jasmine up in a big bear hug, seeing that she needs it more than ever today*

Jasmine: *smiles because she always gets away with scaring Mercedes since they know that Santana is always the one that gets the idea to do it in the first place* hey, I missed you too! *melts into Mercedes' embrace*

Mercedes: *doesn't draw attention to how upset jasmine is because she knows that it's Santana's job to talk with her about her feeling and get her out of that dark path her brain tries to take her down* who wants to play cards? *smiles at the younger couple and sees them nod their head* alright, grab a seat! *points over to the chairs that are stacked up against the wall*

Carlos: *goes over to get jasmine a chair first* here you go! *tucks jasmine in then goes to get himself a chair so he can join them all*

Damian: *was shuffling the cards as everyone greeted each other so he was now sorting out the piles for everyone playing* you playing as well Snixx? *looks over at san as she gets comfortable on her mini sofa chair that was right next to the table*

Santana: *wasn't a fan of card games so she just grabbed her book and opened it up to the page she was on* no thanks! Ill just be here reading! *smiles as everyone smiles back*

Carlos: wow... if that ain't an old people thing then i dunno what is? *laughs as does everyone, except Santana who just gives him a death stare*

Santana: *knows that he's just having a laugh and is being a wind up, so she eventually end up laughing with them all* you're lucky my body is too old and crippled to kick ass, because id be coming after you right about now. *smirks as Carlos smiles back and playfully sticks his tongue out, making everyone laugh all over again*
