Taking chances

Have paitence and be kind

*after another couple of minutes with no response from jasmine, Carlos carefully opens the bathroom door, making sure not to startle her in her fragile state*

*Carlos sees jasmine curled up in a ball in the coner, shaking like a leaf. Then he looks around, checking for any evidance of harm. Once he looks up by the sink thats when he saw one of jasmines razors and sees that there is some blood on it. carlos knows that she done it again and hes gonna have to become the bad guy to help her clean the wounds. At that thought he sighs and looks over at jasmine to see her slowly lift her head up and look at him*

Jasmine: *wanst sure how to feel right now so she just glares at carlos* what are you doing here?! ...leave me alone! *throws the closest thing she could get her hands on. Luckily for carlos it was just a roll of toliet roll, so he wasnt faised when it hit him on the shoulder*

Carlos: *slowly shakes his head at jasmines last statement* im here for you jazzy! I love you and im not gonna let you sit here and hurt youself! *realied that it was at the stage where he needs to give her a little bit of tough love in order for her to really listen to what he is saying*

Jasmine: *was taken back by carlos' harsh tone, so she just burries her head back in her knees and continues to let the tears fall* i dont wanna be here anymore! i just want my mum!

Carlos: *felt his heart break for her* i know! *had no idea what to say to make things better so he just carefully sat on the ground and pulled jasmine in close and held her as she broke down for the millionth time*

*when Elliot woke up he heard the soft whimpers of jasmine crying so he wasted no time in going to see what happend. He wheeled himself to her bathroom door and saw her cured up in carlos' arms. Carlos looks up at him and smiles weakly. Elliot didnt wanna scare jasmine so he just mouths the words, "what happened?" Hoping that carlos could give him a little bit of a sign. He ends up pointing over to jasmines sink so thats when elliot was able to see the extent that this has gotten to already. His heart breaks at having to watch jasmine go through this so often and not be able to do anything to make it go away completely*

Carlos: *could see the defeated look in elliots eyes so he tries to think of something that might help jasmine calm down a little* hey jazzy? *speaks sofly and waits for jasmine to look at him or show some sort of acknowledgement.*

Jasmine: *opens her eyes and sees elliot by the door. She smiles weakly at him then lifts her head of carlos' shoulder and looks at him* hmm... *doesnt have the strength to form actual words right now*

Carlos: *trying to figure out the best way to say what he needs to say, and not have jasmine try to shut him out again* what can we do to help you, my sweet? *takes hold of jamines hand and draws light circles on the back of it as he patiently waits for her to say something*

Jasmine: *cant think of anything other than how much she just wants to disappear and be in her parents arms* i dunno... *spoke quietly as she kept her gase on the bathroom floor*

Carlos: *smiles weakly as elliots gives him the same look back* how about we get you freshened up then elliot and i can take you out for ice cream then we can take a stroll down to the pond to feed the ducks some bread. *tried to think of as many of jasmines favourite things as he could but not to much to overwhelm her*

Jasmine: *was silent for a moment, trying to shut her thoughts up, long enough to make a decision* ok... *still didnt look up at the boys or move to stand up*

Carlos: alright! Up you get and we'll help get you sorted *smiles as elliot smiles back, feeling relieved that jasmine still has in in her to do something to try and help her get better and not listen to the evil voices in her mind* elliot, do you mind getting her a towel and pick a comfy outfit for her to wear? *looks up at elliot and sees him nod his head*

Elliot: *goes to jasmines bottom drawer and gets out a body towl for her then gets a hoodie and vest top from her cupboard then he went back over to her other set of drawers to get some black leggings and a pair of socks* here you go! *hands everything to carlos once he gets jasmine to sit on the lid of the toilet for now*

Carlos: *goes over and gets everything from elliot* thanks dude! We wont be long.

Elliot: ok! Ill just go get myself ready and make sure to put a couple of bread slices into a food bag for us* smiles at carlos*

Carlos: awesome! Thanks *smiles back at elliot then closes the bathroom door and goes to place jasmines stuff on the counter before turning round and crouching down infront of her* ...would you like me to help you or will you manage this yourself? *gives jasmine the option even though he knows that she is in no state to be left on her own right now*

Jasmine: *looks up at carlos for a second* i need you... *starts to figet with her hands as she tries not to pay much attention to the fresh scars on her legs and all the dry blood surrouning them*

Carlos: *is dreading how uncomfortable jasmine is gonna be as soon as the bath water touches her wounds. But he takes a deep breath and puts on a brave face for jasmine* come on then ...arms up! *reaches out and helps jasmine get out of her top. Obviously ignoring how he is feeling seeing his hald naked girlfriend sat right infront of him. He respects her enough not to force himself on her at a time like this so he continues to help jasmine get undressed and encourage her to get into the bath*
