One More Time
Chapter 4
Jasmine's Pov
As soon as our eyes made contact, I couldn't help but let his name slip from my lips. His eyes widened in surprise and his lips parted in confusion. Someone came and steered him away from the crowd and our connection broke. I blinked quickly, trying to let the shock leave my body. I couldn't even move, which was really ridiculous. Pull yourself together Jas. I stepped back letting a few girls in front of me. Leslie was looking at me oddly and I quickly masked the look on my face with a smile.
"You okay?" she shouted.
I nodded. She looked at me uncertainly but didn't ask any more questions. I looked back at where he had been standing and saw his eyes scanning over the crowd, probably trying to look for me.
If Leslie had told me it was him, I would have never came. My vision slipped to my shoes. I felt betrayed by everything. By fate itself. Out of all people, why did it have to be him? Why did it have to be someone that I had tried so hard to forget?
Maybe this is your first step.
Why does it have to start with him? I argued back
Cause you left things unfinished with him. Maybe this is the start to clear things up and to let things go.
I knew my conscious was right. I did leave things unfinished with him. Even if he was the one who left in the first place.
"Jasmine? Are you sure you're okay?"
"Hmm? Oh yeah I'm fine. You ready to go?"
Leslie looked at me worriedly,"Yeah let's go."
I nodded my head and tried squeezing myself through the mass of bodies. As soon as we got in the car, and I started driving, Leslie turned to me, a look of concern on her face.
"So, you're gonna tell me what happened back there?"
I feigned a look of innocence,"I don't know what you mean."
"Stop lying. You know good and well what I mean."
"No I don't."
"Yes you do."
"No I don't," I denied again.
"You're to old to be playing this game. Now seriously, what was that?"
"What was what?"
"Jasmine."
A smile tugged on my lips,"Yes?"
"This is no time to be playing dumb."
I laughed,"It's a long story."
"We have time."
I sighed,"You don't give up do you?"
"Nope. Now tell me."
"Alan .. I used to know Alan. Actually, he used to be my boyfriend."
I bit my lip as I let her process what I had just said. The car was filled with complete silence until she gave out a piercing scream. My eyes widened as I jumped in surprise and almost letting the wheel go.
"Don't do that! You almost gave me a heart attack!"
She laughed,"Sorry, it's just wow. It's like I don't even know how to explain it. You use to date THE Alan? Like oh my goodness."
I couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction.
"He must have been an amazing boyfriend," she said dreamily.
