Life's What You Make It

Chapter 15

So sorry for the wait, I been holidaying in greece but here we go!

Jasmine's pov
After near enough tearing Shawn's punch bag to pieces last night, I went straight in the shower and then straight to bed. That shit was tiring, yet my sleep was still very restless. I woke up hearing my phone ping, seeing it was Nathan asking if I wanted to walk with him to school, I quickly texted back okay and put my phone down. I picked it up again realising I didn't even know what time it was, reading that it was 7:20am. 40 mins to get ready and leave, plenty of time.

I went into the ensuite, brushed my teeth and did my hygienes before applying some makeup and getting dressed. Half an hour later I was ready and sat on the bed waiting until it was time to leave. I could hear Blue running around downstairs, with Shawn telling her to eat her breakfast. My phone pinged again, it was Nathan saying he'd just left. I sighed and got off the bed, putting my shoes on and grabbing my bag. At least it was Friday.

"If Jasmine doesn't have to eat breakfast, I'm not either." I heard Blue say behind me. I turned around laughing.

"Jasmine's 15." Was all Shawn said.

"Blue, if you wanna grow like me, you gotta eat your food." I said to her.

"Fine." She huffed, sitting down at the table.

"You want anything Jasmine?" Shawn asked.

"Nah, I'm good."

"Aight, Bey will be down soon."

"Oh, I'm going now, I'm walking with Nathan" I said.

"Okay." He said, following me out the kitchen. "Jas?"

"Yep?"

"Listen, last night, it shouldn't have gone like that."

"It's cool, I don't wanna talk about it to be honest. Imma be late, tell Bey I'll be at school." I said and he nodded, turning back around into the kitchen. I walked out the door and towards school, where about 10 minutes later, I met with Nathan.

"What's good Jas." He greeted.

"Hey." I replied.

"Where were you last night? We tried to group FaceTime."

"Ah, long story short, Bey's husband, he's a lawyer, took me to tell Jamal I was done. He got pretty angry." I explained

"Who? Jamal, or her husband?"

"I mean both I guess. He waited outside while I went in to Jamal, but he had me on loudspeaker so he could hear what was going on. I told Jamal I was done, and he started shouting, then he grabbed me, and next thing Shawn, her husband, came in and basically drop kicked him. I think the police are looking for Jamal now, and my mom and Cole."

"Oh god, how eventful." He replied.

"I know, didn't get much sleep last night." I said.

"What's new there?" He said, laughing. "Bet Mrs Carter went mental?"

"You know, I'm not actually sure. I let my anger out on Shawn's punch bag, while I presume he told her what happened. I've not seen her this morning."

"Oh. Well my ma wants to know if you're doing good?" He asked.

"You know, I think I am." I replied, smiling.

"Aw, good. Stop In here a sec, I need a drink." He said, as we got to a corner store. "You want one?"

"Um, get me a lemonade please" I asked, and he nodded. School drinks are nasty. He came out and handed me the sprite. "Thanks." We kept walking a bit, before he stopped grabbing something out his pocket.
