brent rivera's sister.

Chapter 51

They got home and went inside.
Their mom didn't say much she just went straight to her room.
Jasmine could hear her crying.
Brent sat at the piano and stared at the keys. Jasmine was still in too much shock to speak so she went to her own room.
She closed the door and laid on her bed.
She started crying her heart out.
She yelled and screamed everything out.
She couldn't hold it in anymore.
She wiped her tears away and just looked out her window.
She thought of the memory of the night when she and Brent were asleep and heard sirens coming outside their house.
She remembered the cops knocking on their door and telling their parents what had happened with Brice and Lexi.
She shook away the feeling.
This felt 100x worse now.
Two of her sibling were gone and now her father.
The one that had taught her and Lexi how to play the piano. The one who actually knew how to cook and taught Brice and Brent.
Jasmine's thoughts were interrupted as she got a phone call.
It was Crawford.
Should I talk to him? Jasmine thought.
She felt like shit and honestly didn't feel like talking to anyone.
She ignored the call as someone knocked on her door.
Brent came in.
"Hey...I canceled my interview...they got mad but I explained why" Brent said.
Jasmine just sat crisscross on her bed and looked at her hands.
Brent came over and sat by her.
"You ok?....I know this is hard.." Brent said. Why aren't you still crying? Jasmine thought. "Jas please talk" Brent said.
"Why...."she whispered.
"What? I can't hear you" Brent said.
"Why?! Why aren't you sad or crying at least?" Jasmine yelled out.
"Maybe because I already did at the hospital and I don't think dad would want us sad all the time cause he's gone...he would want us to be strong" Brent said tearing up.
Jasmine looked at him and hugged him.
"I'm sorry I just....I miss him" Jasmine said.
He pulled away.
"I do too but us being sad all the time isn't gonna help ok?" He said wiping his eyes. Jasmine wiped away her tears too.
"Mom had to go tell grandpa and grandma the news" Brent said.
"Why didn't she take us?" Jasmine asked.
"She wanted to let us have some privacy to let things out....we could hear you screaming" Brent said.
"Yeah... Um I was just...remembering all the memories" Jasmine said.
Her phone kept vibrating telling her she had a call. She just kept ignoring it.
"Eva called me about Lucky I told her I would go pick him up you wanna come?" Brent asked. "Nah I'm too tired you go" Jasmine said.
"Ok lock the doors will you be ok alone?" He asked.
"Yeah don't worry" Jasmine said.
He gave her a small smile and walked out.
She heard the front door close and his car pull out of the driveway.
As soon as he was gone Jasmine checked her phone.
She had 7 missed calls from Crawford.
Maybe I should call him Jasmine thought. Right as she was about to call, someone rang the doorbell.
She looked out and saw someone at their front door through her window.
It was Crawford.
She put her phone down and walked downstairs to the door.
She hesitated to open it at first but unlocked it quickly.
There stood a really worried Crawford.
"are you ok? You haven't been answering my calls" Crawford said.
Jasmine wanted to just say out what had happened but all she let out was a choke of words and cries.
He came inside and hugged her.
"What happened?" He asked as he closed the door.
Jasmine took his hand and took him to the couch.
They sat next to each other.
"My dad....me and Brent went to visit him and sing to him and..." Jasmine said crying.
"Oh my god....Jasmine I am so sorry" Crawford said hugging her.
Jasmine held tight and cried into his shoulder. "I'm sorry I didn't answer I just-"Jasmine said but was cut off.
"No no it's fine I understand" Crawford said. She slowly stopped crying and pulled away from him.
"What do you want to do?" Crawford asked. "Let's watch a movie" Jasmine said.
She grabbed a blanket as he put in a movie. Crawford was about to go sit next to her but Jasmine refused.
"Come cuddle with me" Jasmine said pouting making him laugh.
He laid down next to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Jasmine felt so much better in his arms. "Crawf?" Jasmine asked.
"Yeah?" He said.
"Will you stay with me?" She asked. "Of course princess" he said.
Jasmine smiled a little and drifted off to sleep.
