Taking chances

An old, new friend

Santana: *walks in to jasmines room and sees her granddaughter sat up in bed holding her unicorn to her chest, while her tears threaten to spill* hey sweetheart! Could you not sleep? *sits on the edge of the bed and reaches out to hold onto jasmines hand*

Jasmine: *was all choked up because she was really getting into her head and giving in to the goblins telling her bad thoughts* ... i-I'm s-scared!

Santana: *gives her full attention to jasmine, trying not to show her worry too much* whats are you scared of sweetheart? *kept a comforting hold on jasmines hand as she waited for jasmine to speak*

jasmine: i don't want them here? *wasn't really sure how to explain how she feels out of fear that she will be laughed at*

Santana: *wasn't entirely sure what jasmine was talking about because san in the only one that has been in to see her since they got back from the hospital. Although she was still willing to ask everyone to get out the house for a little while so jasmine can get some rest and settle into the environment again* who don't you like? ...would you like for it to be only you and i here just now? *looks at jasmines, waiting for some answers*

Jasmine: ...its the voices! They keep saying bad things. *was speaking barely above a whisper because she was that uncomfortable and tired from trying to talk*

Santana: *knows exactly what jasmine is talking about now* its ok sweetheart... grandma's got you! *pulled jasmine into a hug and just held her as jasmine held onto Santana's top in a tight grip*

Jasmine: *broke down because she really didn't know what to do with herself anymore. she doesn't remember a time where she was ever not feeling this pained and uncomfortable. She hates that she cant stop from feeling this way* why me? *has her head in the crook of Santana's neck so her words came out as a bit of a mumble*

Santana: *felt her heart shatter for the millions time seeing jasmine so broken down and in distress. It killed her not knowing how to fix everything and go back to the way things used to be* shhh, its gonna be ok... i know it may feel like you wont ever be happy and well ever again... but i promise that you will get through this and you are gonna be back to your old self in no time at all. We are gonna be by your side every step of the way sweetheart! Whatever you need help with i will be a phone call away! And your brother and Carlos are gonna be here to take such good care of you on the days that I'm stuck at the home, for whatever reason. *was brushing her fingers through jasmines hair as she felt jasmine relax a little* we love you so so much and we want whats best for you! No matter what it is, you can come and talk to one of us. Ok? *tilted her head a little to try and see jasmine better*

Jasmine: *still had a hold of Santana's top while she lifted her head up to look at her* ....ok! *sounded so unsure of herself*

Santana: *leans in and gives jasmine a kiss on the head* good girl *continues to Brushes her fingers through jasmines hair too keep her as calm as possible* ...you don't have to do anything you don't want to... but i just wanted to tell you that there is someone here to see you. *smiles sweetly in hopes that jasmine will at least try to see Roxy* if at any time you feel it gets too crowded with everyone out there then ill bring you straight back here and we can just chill in bed and cuddle. Ok? *smiles as jasmine smiles back a little*

Jasmine: *takes a deep breath and wipes all the tears from her face* ok... ill come out! *smiles weakly because she is still very much on edge and unsure of herself*

Santana: *any other time Santana would have made a joke about how jasmine said that last comment, but she held it in because jasmine just isn't ready for all that yet* awesome! *is so happy that jasmine is willing to try something new* ...I'm so proud of you! *smiles proudly as she stands up and pushes jasmines wheelchair close enough so she can give jasmine a hand getting seated*

jasmine: *was a little wobbly as she steps onto the ground to turn round and sit on the chair* thanks! *smiles at san as she puts jasmines oxygen bag on the handles of the wheelchair*

Santana: *looked back at jasmines bed and sees that jasmine left her unicorn teddy behind* do you wanna take your unicorn to cuddle with on the couch? *looks down at jasmine and sees her nod her head after a moment of hesitation* here you go! *smiles as jasmine takes her unicorn from san and holds it close to her chest* You ready? *looks down to jasmine and searches for any sign of jasmine changing her mind about seeing everyone*

Jasmine: yeah! *smiles through the nerves*

Santana: *smiles back* alright! *wheels jasmine out the room carefully taking her time*

Roxy: *had been sat on the couch talking with Kelsey, trying to ignore the tension in the room from Carlos and her unresolved issues. Luckily she couldn't help but smile as she heard Santana coming down the hall with jasmine* hey... *speaks softly as she tries not to show too much emotion after seeing just how much of a state jasmine is in compared to when they were last together*

Jasmine: *smiled politely to Roxy even though jasmine cant remember who she is* hi!

Roxy: *was so nervous she was gonna say the wrong thing if she asked stuff like how jasmine was doing and stuff that is obvious to see by taking one look at jasmines appearance. So Roxy thinks of a different approach* i got you a little something! *hold the gift bag out to jasmine with a smile of encouragement so jasmine knows Roxy isn't someone to be scared of* ... here, maybe tana can help you open it, if you'd prefer?! *smiles at san as she takes the bag from Roxy with a grateful smile*
