The next morning, Jasmine was awoken by the feeling of someone playing with her hair. She slowly sat up, making the person stop. She looked up and saw Kendall smiling sheepishly at her.
"Your hair's shorter." Kendall said
"Um… Yeah…" Jasmine said
He smiled, "I like it shorter."
She smiled, "Me too… Anyway, are you hungry? Shall I go get you some food?"
"I think mom's got it covered." Kendall said
Just as he said that, the door to his ward opened and in came his mother together with his father and brothers.
"Oh honey! How are you doing?" Kathy asked
She advanced towards Kendall with her arms outstretched and as soon as they touched his head, she leaned down to give him a kiss on his head.
"I'm good." Kendall replied
She nodded and smoothed his hair, "When Dustin called me last night and told me that you were awake, I wanted to come down to see you."
"But knowing that Jasmine was with you, she wasn't as anxious." Kenneth said
Kendall smiled as he played with Jasmine's hand, "Yeah… I've got a good personal nurse here."
Jasmine merely smiled as they both looked at each other for a while.
"Well, I heard you say you were hungry, so, have some chicken soup." Kathy said
"Your mother woke up really early to make this." Kent, Kendall's father said
As Kendall's mother went about preparing the bowl for Kendall, she stood up and Kendall looked at her.
"Where are you going?" Kendall asked
"I'm going to grab something to eat." Jasmine replied
"You'll be back?" Kendall said
Jasmine smiled and nodded, "Of course, I will. You just relax with your family and enjoy your breakfast. I'll be back in a jiffy."
Kendall nodded and as he prepared for a kiss on the lips, Jasmine leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. Before he opened his eyes, Jasmine quickly walked out of the ward to avoid questions.
As soon as she closed the door to his ward behind her, she noticed the boys looking at her.
"Everything okay?" Logan asked
"Yeah…" Jasmine replied
She sat down on the empty chair next to Logan and asked, "Where's Gregg?"
"He left for the Pretty Little Liars set. He didn't want to go but we promised to let him know if anything goes wrong." James said
"So how's everything?" Carlos asked
"Fine." Jasmine replied, with the best fake smile she could muster.
Logan and Dustin both looked at Jasmine and in an instant, they could tell she wasn't feeling fine.
Heading down to the cafeteria to get some breakfast, Logan got James and Carlos to get them breakfast while they sat down at the table.
"So, what's bothering you?" Dustin asked
"Nothing…" Jasmine replied
"Yeah right there's nothing. What's wrong?" Logan said
Jasmine sighed, "I don't know how I'm supposed to be Kendall's girlfriend."
"What do you mean? You were his girlfriend before." Dustin said
"Yeah. Back when I wasn't afraid of kissing him on the lips. It's like looking at him is so difficult. All I can remember is the day we broke up. The day he broke my heart. I really thought I could go through with this but I don't think I can." Jasmine said
"Is that why you are so awkward with me?"
Logan's eyes widened a little as did Dustin as they looked at the person standing behind Jasmine. Her heart stopped for a second as soon as she heard Kendall's voice from behind her. She stood up and looked at Kendall, who had such a pained expression that it broke her heart.
"We broke up?" Kendall asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
By this time, James and Carlos had returned to the table as soon as they saw Kendall.
"You broke up with her…" Carlos said
James looked at Carlos with a 'really?' look before nudging him to ask him to keep quiet.
"I broke up with you?" Kendall said
Jasmine looked at Kendall, her eyes tearing up as all her oppressed emotions from the break-up came flooding back to her.
Kendall immediately closed the gap between the both of them as he cupped her face with his good hand.
"Jasmine, I'm so sorry…" Kendall said, stroking her cheek.
She leaned in to his hand as she whispered, "No... You don't remember."
He looked into her eyes, "Can we pretend it didn't happen?"
A tear slid down her cheek as she slowly removed his hand from her face. As much as she wanted to say 'yes' to Kendall, she knew that the heartache she went through was far too much for her to forget.
She lightly squeezed Kendall's hand before saying, "I'm sorry… I can't do this."
Just as Kendall wanted to hold onto her hand, Jasmine let go of her hold on his hand before turning towards the exit and walking as fast as she could away from him. Kendall wanted to run after her but as soon as he tried running, his head started to spin. Dustin and Logan managed to catch him in time before he fell to the ground. They sat him down on the chair Jasmine had emptied despite his protest.
"No. Let me go after her." Kendall said
Logan firmly placed his hand on Kendall's shoulder, "Kendall, I can't let you do that. You suffered a head injury. You shouldn't be running."
"But, I've got to go after her." Kendall said, weakly trying to get out of the chair.
Dustin sighed, "You're my best friend and even though you can't remember anything, I still have to say this to you. This probably isn't the best time to go after her. Your full memory self is a jerk and honestly, I don't blame Jasmine for reacting this way."
Kendall looked at Dustin, "What do you mean? What did I do?"
Dustin looked at Logan, unsure of how to tell Kendall what happened before he lost his memory.
Kendall looked at the both of them before saying, "Carlos said I broke up with her. What exactly did I do?"
Logan looked at the other boys before he sighed and said to Kendall, "Let's get you back to your ward first before we help you fill in the blanks."
