Taking chances

Your personal cheerleader

Santana: thank you! *takes the gift bag from Roxy with a grateful smile*

Roxy: *smiles back* no problem at all! Anything for the birthday girl! *smiles sweetly at jasmine and gets a shy smile in return*

Santana: *smiles at the interaction between the girls because she is so happy that jasmine has such a good group of friends that would do anything for her in time of need* alright jazzy, you ready? *smiles sweetly at jasmine as she hesitantly nods her head due to how physically and mentally exhausted she is*

Santana: *was definitely not expecting to get emotional when she saw what the gift is* oh wow! This is beautiful Roxy! *smiles up at Roxy as she smiles back, just watching Santana observe her painting* ...look at this sweetheart! *turns it to jasmine so she could see what it was*

*Jasmine looks at the painting and cant help but smile when she saw that Roxy had painted jasmine with Elliot and her parents. Then a moment later another thought comes to mind and has her feeling a little spooked about how much this "Roxy" girl knows about her to be able to create such a personal art piece*

Roxy: *starts to worry about jasmines reaction so she turns to Santana for an explanation, only to see that Santana had the same expression of confusion* did i do something wrong? i can take it back if it would make her feel any better. *was so worried about upsetting jasmine that she would do anything to make up for not getting her the right gift*

Santana: *didn't wanna sit there and let roxy blame herself for doing something so nice and thoughtful. Santana just needed to talk to jasmine and find out whats wrong* no, not at all! It's beautiful! ...She's just tired after the day shes had. *smiles sweetly to Roxy in hopes that it will reassure her* ...just give me a minute and ill talk with her! *can see jasmine is lost in thought, completely blocking everyone out*

Roxy: *felt a little reassured about the situation but she was still worried about what was really wrong with jasmine* ok! Ill give you two some space! *smiles at san then goes with kelsey into the kitchen to help her get more drinks for everyone*

Santana: *looks over at Elliot and Carlos who were sat on the other couch looking at her with sympathetic smiles and worry in their eyes* we'll be back in a minute! You guys can just set up a board game or something and me and jazzy will join you in a minute. *smiles then stands up to grab hold of jasmines wheelchair so they can head back to her room for total privacy. Santana is hoping that it will make jasmine ease up a little if they cuddle up on the bed like before. So that's what she did*

Jasmine: *realises that her silence had upset everyone so she hesitantly looks up at her grandma and tries to stop herself crying from guilt* I'm s-sorry! ...p-please don't hate me! *cant bare to look in Santana's eyes anymore out of fear that she really did mess everything up*

Santana: *knows how sensitive jasmine has become from everything shes had to adjust to since waking up, so Santana takes a deep breath and makes sure she relaxes fully and doesn't make it look like she is angry about whats happened* shhh... its ok sweetheart! Im not mad at you! *k kneels down in front of jasmine as the young adult was placed on the edge of the bed. San gently pulls jasmine into a big hug, brushing her fingers through her granddaughters hair to try and relax her the best she can* ...i just wanna talk to you and see what made you so sad after seeing the gift Roxy made for you. *smiles sweetly at jasmine and takes hold of her hand to continue showing her comfort while they talk*

Jasmine: *held her grandma's hand and took a few deep breaths to stop her tears long enough for her to explain herself* i... i don't know! ...it just spooked me a little, i guess! *was still staring down at their joined hands as a distraction*

Santana: *just looked at jasmine confused* what do you mean sweetheart? *continues to rub her thumb over the back of jasmines hand as she waited for jasmine to start talking*

Jasmine: *took a deep breath then finally lifted her head so she was looking at her grandma* i just don't know how to deal with all the new faces that you keep telling me I've actually known for years. I don't want anyone to be mad at me for being so shy and quiet around them but I just cant help it because i really have forgotten everything and everyone I've ever known. *starts to get choked up and let the tears fall* i don't know what to do... *drops her head down to her lap again and gets lost in thought, thinking about how she wants to go back in time and re-live all the time she had with her parents, that Santana and Elliot have been telling her about. Just because from how everyone described it too her, it was clearly a very happy time in their lives*

*Santana is at a loss of what to say to reassure jasmine that everything is gonna be ok because Santana is having enough of a hard time convincing herself of that. She's trying so hard not to go back to her old ways of letting the goblins get to her and make her ruin the perfectly good record of weeks thats shes gone without giving in and harming herself* i know it tough sweetheart and you don't feel like you'll get through it but i truly believe that you are so strong and you are gonna be back to living your best life in no time at all. *smiles as jasmine smiles back weakly, clearly not believing in what Santana is saying about her* i will be by your side to help pick you up when you have fallen and ill definitely be one of the first people to show up and cheer you on with whatever you choose to do with your life. *smiles at jasmine* 

Jasmine: thanks Tana! I don't know what id do without you! *smiles back with so much love and gratitude for Santana always being there to help her make sense of everything*

Santana: *smiles because she can no longer hold back her sarcasm that shes tried to hide from, so she could try and be serious for once* hmm, im sure you would be bored as hell without my sassy attitude! *smiles as she hears jasmine giggle*

Jasmine: true! *smiles as Santana smiles back*

Santana: alright! you ready to go and kick everyone's ass at whatever bored games they have chosen? *stands up and smiles down at jasmine*

Jasmine: what makes you so sure you'll win? *has heard about Santana's competitiveness so jasmine thought it would be funny to joke around and try to challenge her* 

Santana: *laughs at jasmine suddenly finding her old sense of humour* ehh, I'm Santana Lopeirce...I never lose! *smiles proudly*

Jasmine: *loves Santana's sassy and competitive side* challenge excepted! *smiles proudly like she really believes she will be able to beat Santana at something because she has forgotten all about how she has never succeeded at it in the past*
