HEY GUYS! I KNOW YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO WANT TO THROW TOMATOES AT MY HEAD, BUT THIS IS THE FINAL CHAPTER. I DON'T WANT TO DRAG THIS STORY OUT SINCE IT'S BASICALLY OVER NOW. THANKS FOR THE FAITHFUL SUPPORT!
~CHAPTER SIX~
Kim's POV:
I want to talk to Jasmine.
"Hi, how are you?" I smiled. She's sitting on the couch.
"Oh, I'm just peachy, Kim!" Jasmine fake smiled.
"Look, I don't know you and you don't know me, but I can tell there is something wrong." I replied, seriously.
I sat down next to her and she backed away from me. Do I have bad breath?
"Why would something be wrong?" Jasmine fake smiled again. I'm getting tired of that. I feel like punching her in the face!
"Well, for starters you screamed at the airport and now you're avoiding your brother." I said, softer this time. I hope she trusts me. I just want to help her.
"That's none of your business." Jasmine stuck her nose up in the air. Why that little brat!
"You're right. I thought I could help, but I guess I was wrong. I can see why Jack doesn't want to be in the same room as you." I hissed, getting off the couch.
"Jackā¦told you that?" Jasmine's voice was quiet and sounded pained. Okay, now I feel sorry for the poor snob. I turn around to face her.
"Yes. Do you even have any idea how crappy you treat people?!" I exclaimed. I need to calm down, or this girl is going to get smacked.
"I don't do that!" Jasmine yelled, standing up. She was inches away from my face. I didn't even realize my hands were balled into fists until Jack put his hand on my shoulder.
"When did you get here?" I asked my ninja-like boyfriend.
"Just now." Jack grinned. Aw, that gorgeous smile could melt ice.
"I guess that's good. I'm about to attack your sister." I admitted.
"She deserves it." Jack replied.
"How could you say that?" Jasmine asked. She looked shocked and her mouth was hanging open.
"You're a brat." Jack answered.
"I hate you!" Jasmine yelled with tears in her eyes. She ran past us, heading for the bathroom; no doubt to wipe her smeared mascara. At that time, Jerry was coming downstairs. He was in Jasmine's way, but he froze in fear when he saw her.
"Get out of my way!" Jasmine cried, covering her face with her hands to hide her tears.
"I'm sorry, Jazzy." Jack said. He pulled her into his arms. She cried even louder. Now I feel really bad for her. That girl is mentally unstable and I just yelled at her.
"What happened, yo?" Jerry asked, dumbfounded. We didn't want to say anything since Jack and I hurt Jasmine's feelings.
"I made her cry." Jack confessed.
"I didn't know if I should've said anything, but I thought you were too rough with her at the airport." Jerry replied, nervously. Jack remained silent and stared at the carpet in shame. I wonder what happened at the airport?
"Jerry, we should leave them alone." I said, walking past Jack and pushing Jerry on upstairs.
"Why, Kim?" Jerry whined.
Jack's POV:
I'm so glad Kim and Jerry gave Jasmine and I some privacy. Well, I'm glad Kim took Jerry upstairs anyway. I wish mom would hurry up and get home.
"I'm really sorry, Jazzy." I said, honestly. I felt horrible for making her cry. She just makes me so mad sometimes.
"Why does everyone hate me?" Jasmine asked, her voice muffled by my chest. That's an easy question.
"Dad messed you up. He gave you everything and taught you the wrong way. It's not your fault that you're like this, but you can change." I replied.
"Do you really think so?" Jasmine sniffled as she looked up at me.
"I know so." I smiled and kissed her forehead.
"We can help you." Kim called from the stairs. I thought we were alone :/
"OK. Where do I start?" Jasmine replied, wiping her eyes. Her mascara made her look like a raccoon, but that's okay. She's a cute raccoon.
"For one thing, always remember, it doesn't matter what you look like on the outside. It matters what's in here." I said, pointing to her heart.
"Are you sure, Jack?" Jasmine released me from our hug.
"Yes." I laughed. My sister has a lot to learn, but we can do it together.
"And patience is a virtue." Kim added, coming closer to us. Jerry followed her.
"I'm sorry I yelled at you, Kim." Jasmine said.
"Oh, hun, it's fine. I'm sorry for yelling at you, too." Kim replied, hugging her.
"And, Jack...I lied. Daddy didn't get married and...you don't have a little brother. I made that stuff up to hurt you."
"Well, you definitely hurt me." I growled. OK, saying I was shocked was an understatement. I really wanted to have a little brother!
"I'm so sorry!" Jasmine cried, fresh tears formed in her eyes. I looked down, trying to control my anger. I felt Jasmine's hand grab my arm.
"It's okay." I exhaled deeply, "I'm still angry, but at least I do have a sister. And I'm thankful for that."
"Oh, Jack! I have such a great brother." Jasmine exclaimed, hugging me tight. I hugged her back. I'm proud of her. She's being so good.
"Hold up, I thought you said you lied about having a brother?" Jerry asked, puzzled.
"She's talking about Jack, you dummy." Kim said, elbowing Jerry in the rib.
"Oh." Jerry replied, "That makes sense." Classic Jerry. You gotta love him :)
The front door opened and in came mine and Jasmine's mom. She had groceries in her hand, so I helped grab a few bags.
"Thanks, Jackie." My mom smiled, "You're a perfect angel."
"Uh, mom...Jazzy made it here from Canada." I said.
"Great. What's the brat complaining about now? And when did she get here? I was in the kitchen when you and Jerry came home, but I didn't see her."
"Jazzy must have hid somewhere. But, she's changing, mom. Kim, Jerry, and I are helping her." We carried the groceries into the kitchen.
"Why would she want to change? Has Tom finally grew a brain and learned Jasmine some manners?" Mom put the cold food in the fridge while I packed the dry food up in the cabinets.
"Mom, no. Jazzy wants to change because people don't like her. I told her if she learned how to act right, people would love her." I explained, hopping Jasmine hadn't heard our conversation. It'd break her heart.
"Really? That doesn't sound like my daughter, but if it's true, that's good. Where is she, Jackie?"
"In the hallway." I said. Mom left the kitchen with me behind her.
"Jazzy, how is my baby girl?" Mom asked, warmly.
"I'm so happy you don't hate me!" Jasmine replied with more tears in her eyes. Kim and I smiled at the mother and daughter hugging. Jerry was picking at a scab on his arm. Then, he looked up.
"Yo, look at that." Jerry grinned.
"I know. Isn't it cute?" Kim smiled.
"No. You think my scab is cute?" Jerry asked.
"Get that thing away from me!" Kim yelled, smacking at Jerry. He had the scab in his hand, showing it to Kim.
Jasmine's POV:
I finally feel loved :)
