~GUYS OKAY SO I JUST REFRESHED MY WATTPAD FOR LIKE THE 10TH TIME, AND OMG I HAVE LIKE 1.13K READS 😄😄😄 IM SO HAPPY LIKE OMG I CANNOT BELIEVE IT 😢 THIS WOULDNT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT SO THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY ❤~
~Time skip again like rlly, bc I do not wanna bore you with another car ride 😂 this is around second week of December (specifically the 9th) and let us all pretend no cast has left 😄😂~

It has been another busy week. The tickets were going sold out like crazy, some of them were reserved for mid-next year, and that was amazing.

Curtain call was just done, and everyone headed to their dressing rooms. Jasmine slumped on her chair, wiping off the bits of make up on her face. Pippa and Renee looked at her worriedly.

"You okay Jas?" Renee asked, sitting down beside her

"Yeah, you've been pretty quiet and your performances, well still great. So I can say you're half okay but-"

"Okay Pip we get the point." Renee cut her off "Now Jas, again I ask, are you okay sweetie?"

Jas shook her head, resting her head on Renee's shoulder "My parents still haven't called since that night, this week has veen tiring as hell, and Anthony kissed - I mean-"

"WAIT WHAT?!"

"No no no no, he was drunk and he-"

"OH GOSH, WHY DIDNT YOU TELL US SOONER? DID THINGS ESCALATE?" Pippa exclaimed

"Eew no." Jas grimaced at the thought on what Pippa meant

"Then tell us what happened!" Renee demanded, which Jas least expected actually

After thoroughly explaining everything, Jas went back to moping in worry.

"Girl chill." Renee rubbed her back soothingly "Maybe your parents are still busy, you know how your dad is and your mom is always by his side."

"Was Anthony a good kisser though." Pippa butted in

"Pippa!" They scolded

"I was just curious." She protested

Renee rolled her eyes on Pippa, and gave her attention back to Jas "What are you exactly worried about? This paparazzi thing between you and Anthony has already been done for a few times now, how is this different?"

Jas shook her head, her frown so low. This was really concerning her two friends, especially Pippa who couldn't take seeing her friends so sad. But Renee's face lit up, when she analyzed what was really going on.

"It's not your parents you're worried about, aren't you." Renee stated, and Jas was flushed

Jas nodded a bit, slowly "Stephanie and I talked while we were there, she found out. And all those moments Ant and I had, I just loved it."

"Why didn't you fess up there, to him." Pippa questioned

"I don't know." Jas said frustrated "I feel like-"

"The age thing again." Renee groaned "Honey, he hella loves you, there's no denying that. "

"And what's wrong if you're two years older than him?" Pippa nodded in agreement to Renee

She sighed "Well why can't he just admit it to my face."

Jas got home, entering her apartment, she dropped her stuff and took off her shoes. She put her hair up in a messy bun, making her way to the kitchen. Quickly cooking up some dinner, grilled cheese specifically, while listening to some music. She took her dinner and sat by the couch to watch some netflix, and chose to watch Once Upon a Time ~WHERE MY ONCER FAM AT ❤~ she was a little behind, since she usually watched this with Anthony, but they haven't been in speaking terms out of the theatre for a while. She continued to watch halfway through the episode when someone had knocked on her front door. She stood up and open it, to find Anthony giving her a smile. She adored that smile, but with all that's been going on in her head, she just can't reciprocate right now.

"What do you want?" She asked coldly, which shocked him

"It's Friday, I was hoping we can catch up on a few episodes." He replied, keeping his smile on

"Sorry, but I already started." She said, not looking him in the eye, but she could tell he was disappointed

"Oh okay then, wanna grab lunch tomorrow? It's our day offs." He suggested "We can watch a movie after."

"Sorry I can't." She shook her head, almost closing the door on him

But Anthony stuck his foot between the door and doorframe "What's wrong? You're acting pretty off."

She wanted to yell right at him what she wants to say, but contained herself.

"Nothing, I'm just tired." She mumbled, as he walked in her apartment

"You haven't talked to me for like a week, and that has never happend before." He pointed out with a hint of frustration

"I have my own life without you, you know." She spat, and that started to anger him "Why is that important to you? You're not my boyfriend." She said, her voice getting a little mad

"Well I fucking wish I was!" He blurted out, her face softening at those words "You have no idea how long I have-"

"Of course I know!" She said nonchalantly "Like who gets drunk and stays at my apartment all the time who has friends that tell his every secret."

Anthony's face was flustered, he didn't know how to react "You knew all this time and you showed me no sign of return of feelings!" He yelled so mad

"I did!" She pointed out "Why else would I be that willing to help you with your every fucking problem?! Why else would I take care of you when you're sick?! And why else would I be so willing to act as your girlfriend in front of both your parents?! Fucking tell me!" Tears began to form in her eyes, and Anthony regret what he had done "I care that much for you Anthony, and you were never brave enough to tell it to my face. But I waited, acted oblivious, dumb even."

"Jasmine, I-"

"Get out!" She cut him off, pushing him out the door, and slamming it shut

She melted down crying, hugging her knees and leaning against the door. Anthony begged for her to let her in but she ignored it.

Anthony began to tear up, as he went back to his apartment. He couldn't believe this. He had his chance but blew it. He texted her sister, said it was urgent, and came running to the door in 5 minutes time. He decided to get her rather than Daveed or Oak, he knew they wouldn't really agree with what he just did.

Meanwhile Jas had soaked herself in the shower, she needed to remove any trace of crying since she was leaving for England with her parents tomorrow. Even though they haven't really called each other about it, the trip was still on because her tickets came in yesterday. Her phone rang simultaneously calls from Anthony or Stephanie. She figured Ant called over his sister to help him out. She didn't reply nor answer any, she just continued packing. But then, her screen flashed her Mom's name.

"Hey Mom."
