Can't Be Friends

Dirty Laundry

Jasmine's P.O.V

Chres held my hand and kissed it and smiled as we drove. I gave him a slight smile I'm not ready for marriage yet. What if he breaks my heart again or say some shit he'll regret we just got back together almost two days ago. All these thoughts raced through my head. I decided to tell him how I feel about the marriage when I get home. It was 7:32 pm and by the time we'll get home in about half an hour.

chres: you alright

jasmine: *looks* y..yea i'm fine

chres: *smiles* I'm really excited

jasmine: *fake smiles* me too

As we got to my house we sat on the couch I stared at the ring and played with it chres went to go use the bathroom. I sat back and sighed when chres came out the bathroom he sat on the couch. I turned towards him and prepared for him to be upset.

jasmine: I have to tell you something

chres: what

jasmine: I-(gco)

The doorbell rings

chres: hold that thought

when he opened the door his face went blank then his fists clenched and so did his jaw standing there was and jacob. I walked to him and moved him out the way.

jasmine: uhhh come in

I ran upstairs to the bathroom and threw up and cried..I might have a chance of dying with hiv and my baby girl could be born with hiv. I dragged myself down the steps and chres was looking pissed as ever. Jacob sat there blankly

Later that night

Jasmine's Dream/Nightmare

I was laying in a hospital bed my stomach still big just a little bigger the doctors walked in.

Doctor: are you ready to deliver?

jasmine: deliver what are you talking about

The doctor stared at me and told me to push

jasmine: Push I'm only 5 months pregnant

doctor: 1...2....3

jasmine: hello I'm talking here

he ignored me and started counting again thats when I felt a rush of pain push through me and I started to scream

jasmine: WHERE IS CHRESANTO...WHERE IS HE

the doctor just kept ignoring me...Why could I hear him but he couldn't hear me. I kept screaming as the baby kept pushing out and finally the doctor laid her on my chest...for chest to chest contact then they took her

jasmine: WHERE ARE YOU GOING

all of a sudden things went white I saw nothing but whitness I was standing in the middle, or the end, or beginning I really don't know and I was wearing a white gown. I started to walk when I saw a figure. A little girl about the age of 9

jasmine: who are you

christina: I'm christina...your daughter

jasmine: d...d...daughter

christina: yes

jasmine: where am I

christina: heaven daddy's here to

jasmine: what is going on

christina: todays is my birthday 9 years after you gave birth to me you died shortly after daddy died before you had me and I died a week later.

jasmine: where is your daddy

christina: *points to him* right there

Chres walked up to me in a white muslce t-shirt and white pants and white jordans standing next to christina who was wearing a white dress a white bow with her hair in a ponytail and white flats I looked down at myself and saw my outfit changed I was now wearing a white dress and some white heels

jasmine: what am I doing here

chres: you're here to go on a journey to view your life if we didn't have hiv

He grabbed my hand and christina grabbed my other hand and we walked through white doors which i most likely would have walked into if i didn't know they were doors and there was a door with images of me chres and christina after we brought her home. I was rocking her as I sat in my rocking chair as I hummed to her as she drifted asleep a tear was brought to my eye chres was standing behind me as I held her smiling and I was crying as I watched it and he was smiling christina smiled to.

end of dream

I woke up screaming and crying and chres woke up

chres: whats wrong

jasmine: *looks down at my clothes and around to see if the room isn't white*

I ran to one of the guest rooms and its wasn't even set up yet. I walked to the bathroom and washed my face and chres came behind me

chres: you alright

jasmine: *turns to him* yea just a bad dream

chres: *kisses my forehead* dreams and nightmares aren't real alright

jasmine: *nods*
