Care

       When my Mom and I finally got home, I tried to rush up the stairs but "Jasmine" Mom said.

 I stopped on the second step, we haven't said a word to each other throughout the whole car 

ride,"Do you wanna talk?," She continued. I turned to face her but did not make eye contact

"No, I don't wanna talk," my voice goes soft as I said. I just kept my head down.

"That's fine if you don't want to, I'll give you space, call me if you need me, I'll be going back to 

work," Mom said. I finally looked up and nodded and then turned around to go up to my room. 

As soon as I closed the door behind me, I instantly dropped all my things and went to my bed 

and started crying. I couldn't not hold it in anymore. I wanted to show I was okay, but I wasn't.

 I did nothing but froze, I could have done something more, but I was afraid. I don't know how

 long I was crying but long that Azalea and Alder came into my room and rushed to my bed.

"Oh Jas, I'm here," Azalea said as she wrapped her arms around me.

"I hate that this happened to you," Alder said as he held my hand. I was still crying but my tears 

were running out, I already had a headache.

"Come on, let's get you In the bath, so you can feel better", Azalea said. Then Alder took his 

leave, Azalea walked to the bathroom down the hall to start my bath. I sat there for a minute as I

 collected myself "Your bath is made come on," Azalea said as she walked in and I got up and 

collected the things that I needed and followed her to the bathroom. I got undressed and slid 

into the bath tube, Azalea on the side of the tube, I still haven't said a word to her but.

"I love you Azy,"I said. I had my knees against my chest and rested the side of my face to look at 

her.

"I love you too Jazzy," she said with a little smile on her face as she poured the bath water down 

my back and I smiled back because she called me Jazzy, I love it when she calls me that. "It's 

gonna be okay, I'll always be here for you no matter what," Azalea said.
