jonah, i'm such an idiot, something terrible just happened and it's all my fault

jonah 🤪
i'm sure your not an idiot but what happened??

jas 😇
i saw alexia and christina and they were shouting me and all i did was look at them and then walk away

they looked so sad, i can't get their faces out of my head

jonah 🤪
well maybe you should talk to them? you don't have to, it's just a suggestion but maybe that would make you feel better

jas 😇
i might, i need to think about it first

jonah 🤪
so apart from that how's LA?

jas 😇
so good! my parents are living in LA permanently now!

jonah 🤪

jas 😇

jonah 🤪

jas 😇
sure 🙃

jonah 🤪

jas 😇
bye byeee

christina's pov
(hmm, should be interesting)

"order for jasmine!" i heard and my head shot round and scanned the room, every time i hear her name i always check even though we know she's gone

we'll probably never see her again, it's been over a year so i doubt she's anywhere in LA

i see the 'jasmine' stop by a table and i take the opportunity to look at her

she looks a lot like jasmine actually

"chris?" i hear alexia say and i turn around "did you hear what i just said?" she said laughing at me

"no but is it just me or does she look like jasmine?" she turns and looks in the wrong direction "where?" i nudge her and nod in the direction of the girl

"yeah she looks exactly like jasmine" alexia says "she's called jasmine too" i say and alexia frowns "how do you know?"

"i heard it when they called her order"

we see the girl walk towards the door and alexia nudges me "go, go!" she says and i move "we can't just follow her!" i say

"we can and we will now come on!" alexia says and we quickly walk outside catching up with jasmine

"jasmine!" i shout but she doesn't turn around "jas! jasmine stop please!" alexia shouts and she speeds up, clearly recognising our voices or at least alexia's

she quickly crosses the road but we don't follow her, we just stand there looking at her

she looks towards us and she comes to a stop, i see her trying to make a decision of what to do, sadness evident on her face

she doesn't choose to come to us

she quickly disappears away from our view

"we've lost her again" alexia says and i nod "yeah i just wish i knew why she left" i say, remembering the day she disappeared

flashback

i pressed her floor number on the elevator buttons and waited for the doors to reopen

i knock on her door. no answer.

i call her phone. no answer.

i try all social media. no sign of her anywhere.

jasmine where are you? 

i quickly dial alexia's phone number

"do you know where jasmine is?" i ask when she picks up "at home maybe? i don't know? all i know is that she's not at mine and i don't think she has any shoots today" alexia says and i worry

i try to call her again. i sit by her door with my back against the door. still no answer

i rest my head on my hands trying to work out what's happening. i hear someone clear their throat and my head shoots up hoping it will be her. but it isn't.

"are you here to look around the apartment?" the man in front of me asks "no i'm looking for my friend, jasmine, she lives here?"

"i hate to be the one to tell you this but your friend doesn't live here, the previous owner moved out yesterday"

my mind went blank. i walked back towards the elevator and went downstairs

i dial the modelling agency number

"hello it's christina harris, i was wondering if jasmine turner has any shoots any time soon?" i ask, maybe she's just moving apartments and is too busy to pick up the phone, i'm checking everything i can think of and this is one of the things i can think of

"no she hasn't, actually she resigned from modelling with us a few days ago" they said and i gasped, jasmine loves her job why would she do this?

"okay thanks" i say and hang up

i head straight to alexia's house, in fact i run there, maybe she will find a good explanation for all of this??

end of flashback

she just vanished and we never knew why, i still try calling her everyday

i hope we see her again at some point
