feelings and emotions

Chapter 12

Chris's pov:
I wake up to see Jasmine on the bed still sleeping. I sit at the end of the bed and hold her hand, waking her by accident.

"Oh sorry..."

"No it's fine. You haven't left yet?"

"Well I went to go get you water but that's all. Since the doc said that you might be dehydrated." I say handing her the cup of water.

"Thanks." she says finishing it in two big gulps.

"Do you feel okay? Do you want me to get the doctor?" I say, not letting go of her hand.

"No. Just stay here." she smiles. "So how's Nia?"

"Oh she left with Crawford. Do you want me to call her?" I ask, pulling out my phone. I give her my phone and leave the room so they can talk.

Jasmine's pov:
When Chris leaves I dial Nia's number.

"Hey, Chris?" she answers.

"It's Jas."

"Oh he's still there with you?" she asks, in a funny tone.

"Yes." I say laughing.

"Are you okay? Do you want me to come there?"

"Well where are you?" I ask, hoping she would come anyways.

"Well I'm at Crawford's actually... but I'll leave if you need me. All we did was sleep." she laughs. Since I had Chris, I was okay if she didn't come. Then all of the sudden, I feel the phone vibrate on my ear.

"Nia it's okay. Just stay there, I'll see you later. Bye, love ya, have fun!!" I say and end the call. I check to see who messaged him.

Message from Erica:
Hey baby... I miss you so much. I won't tell anyone what we did. Let's get back together though, yeah?

And at this point, Chris came in.

"Chris, I think you should leave. Now." I say not looking at him.

"Hey, are you okay?" he says touching my shoulder. I move his hand away.

"I, uh, I just want to rest again. My mom is on her way, it's probably not best that you are here." I say turning away.

"Um. Okay. I'll, uh, catch you later." he says scratching his head and leaving.

I can't believe I actually trusted him. Of course he doesn't like me, he just wanted to get with me. I feel a tear fall out of my eye. I guess I did like him or I wouldn't feel this way. I wouldn't feel betrayed, sad, and even a little mad.

Chris's pov:

I don't know what that was about. When I get home, I look at my phone and it's on the messages app. Then I see why Jas kicked me out. Stupid Erica! She knows I'm with Jasmine. I punch a wall and scream, realizing that I scraped my knuckles.

After I wrap my hand, I text Jasmine right away.

Me:

Jasmine, I'm so sorry. Nothing at all happened. I promise you. Ask Crawford. The only time I've even looked at Erica or spoken to her was when you fainted, and all I said to her was to fuck off. Please believe me. I would never do that to you.

After a while, she finally replied.

Jasmine:

Chris... I don't know. Maybe you didn't do anything, but it's not like Erica will ever quit. I'm able to go home now and go to school. I'll just see you then.
