Chapter 9: Time With The Girls
"I can't we missed that party last night." Cloe said. It was a beautiful and bright Sunday afternoon and the girls were sitting around their table at the Smoothie Bar. "I don't believe it either," Yasmin said as she pushed her Gucci sunglasses up on her nose. "Hannah called me and fussed at me, and I had to explain to her that it wasn't my fault, it was Sasha's sister's." "I wish that I had never met her." Sasha said as she looked at her friend through the lens of Chanel sunglasses. "Don't say that Sash," Cloe said while pushing her Oakey sunglasses up on her nose. "You're gonna regret it eventually." "Cloe's right," Jade said as she pushed her Prada sunglasses up on her nose. "You're gonna really regret it." "I don't know if I will or not." Sasha said taking a sip of her blueberry smoothie. "Sasha." said a voice. Sasha turned and saw her mom. She waved her over. Michelle came over to the girls. "Hey Auntie Michelle." the rest of the girls said. "Hi mom." Sasha said. "Hey girls," Michelle said. "I was headed over to the sports store for your father and I was wondering if anyone knew what he might like." "I'll go with you," Yasmin said as she threw her empty smoothie cup in the garbage. "I wanna get me a new Beckham t-shirt." "Well go too." the rest of the girls said. They picked up their handbags, threw away their garbage, and went with Sasha's mom.
"Found what I'm looking for." Yasmin said as she came back with a LA Galaxy t-shirt that had Beckham on the back and then 23. "We can get Uncle Robert a Jason Taylor football jersey." Cloe said. "We could," Michelle said as she looked through the stuff. "Let's check out the basketball jerseys too." "What are you girls doing in here?" asked a voice. The gang turned around and saw Dylan and Koby standing there. "Looking for something for Sasha's dad." Jade answered. Koby took the t-shirt out of Yasmin's hands and said, "What do you know about David Beckham?" "I know that he's one of the greatest athletes in the world," Yasmin said. "And, that he started out playing for Manchester United, but then went to Real Madrid, and now, he's here playing for LA Galaxy." "What position does he play?" Dylan asked. "Mid-field," Yasmin answered as she took her t-shirt back. "Now, we gotta go, adios." She and her friends walked off to the isle where Sasha's mom was. "I found the perfect jersey." she said when the girls got there. "Okay," Jade said. "That's perfect." "Okay then," Michelle said. "Let's go and pay for this stuff." They paid for the stuff and then left out. "Well," Michelle said. "Thanks for your help." "No problem." the girls said. Michelle kissed Sasha's forhead. "See you at home." she said. "See ya mom." Sasha said. "Bye Auntie Michelle." the girls said. Michelle waved and then left. The girls headed into the Fashion Promenade, or the indoor mall. "Like we need to shop more," Yasmin said as she and the girls pulled off their sunglasses. "We do enough as it is." "Shopping is quite theraputic," Jade said. "As ridiculous as that sounds." "Hey," Sasha said. "How about we just go to the park or something and get frozen yogurt from the cart, more fun and we'll be outside." "Great idea." Cloe said. The girls left the mall and went to the park.
"Thank you so much Bratz." said a little girl. The girls were in the park and were signing autographs for a few fans. "It's so cool when you get to sign autographs," Cloe said as the girls walked. "It's just, really sweet." "I know," Yasmin agreed. "And it makes you feel like, you still have your fanbase." "Yeah." Sasha agreed. "Hey girls," Jade said pointing. "Isn't that Hannah?" Yasmin looked up and saw her friend. She was sitting up against the tree, crying. "Oh no." Yasmin said. She broke away from her friends and went over to Hannah. "Hi," she said as Hannah looked up with tear-filled eyes. "What's wrong?" "I don't wanna talk about it." Hannah said. Yasmin sat down baside her friend. "Come on," she said. "You can talk to me, you know, girl-to-girl, and we tell eachother everything else." "Okay," Hannah said. "My dad called me about, ten minutes ago, and said that when he and mom went to the doctor today, the doctor told my mom that she might only have about six months to live." Yasmin remembered that Hannah's mom had been battling cancer. "Oh my God," she said. "Hannah, I'm so sorry." Hannah couldn't say anything else. Yasmin hugged her best friend. Hannah cried and cried. "It's gonna be okay," Yasmin said. "It's gonna be okay." When she had finally gotten herself together, Yasmin asked, "Are you gonna be okay?" "Yeah," Hannah said as they both got up. "I just need to go home and lay down, see ya." She hugged Yasmin again and then left. Yasmin went back over to her friends. "What was wrong with Hannah?" Cloe asked. "She said that her dad called her and said that the doctor said that her mother might only have six months left to live." Yasmin answered. "Oh yeah," Sasha said. "Her mom's battling cancer." Yasmin nodded. "Is Hannah gonna be okay?" Jade asked. "She said so," Yasmin said. "But I'm gonna go home and call her, just to make sure." "Okay," Sasha said. "Bye." "Bye." Yasmin said. Jade and Cloe waved and Yasmin waved back. She got into her car then drove on home.
"Hi Hannah," Yasmin said over the phone when she got home. "It's Yasmin, call me when you get this message, later." She hung the phone back up and sat down on one of the rotating chairs at the counter. The phone rang and she answered, "Hannah." "Wrong," Cameron said. "It's me." "Oh," Yasmin said. "Sorry, I've left Hannah like three messages, and she hasn't called me back yet." "Is she okay?" Cameron asked. "No," Yasmin answered. "It's her mom, I wish I could tell you, but I can't." "I respect that," Cameron said. "Anyway, I'll call you later." "I gotta go to Hannah's now, to make sure she's okay." "Alright." Cameron said. "I love you, and I know you love me too, bye." Yasmin said. She hung up the phone and grabbed her keys. She got her purse and then left out.
"Please be okay Hannah." Yasmin said as she turned on the street that Hannah lived on. When she turned, she saw the ambulance at Hannah's house. "Oh no." she said fearing the worst. She parked her car, got her keys, and got out. She locked the car and walked to Hannah's. She spotted Hannah sitting on the step, in tears. "Hannah," she said. "Hannah, tell me, what happened?" Hannah was trying to tell her, but kept choking on tears. "Hannah, sweetie," Yasmin said. "You gotta tell me, what happened?" She looked behind her and saw the funeral car pull up. "Hannah." Yasmin said. "My mom," Hannah finally managed to say. "She's gone, she died on her bed." "But you said that she might have about six months." Yasmin said. "Well the doctor didn't know what he was talking about." Hannah said as the tears fell. Yasmin hugged her best friend. "Girls," said one of the paramedics. "We're gonna need you to move." "Come on Hannah." Yasmin said. She pulled her best friend up with her and they stood to the side. The paramedics went into the house and came back out with Hannah's mom on the stretcher, covered with a sheet. She was put into the funeral car. "Mom!" Hannah cried. "Hannah," Yasmin said as she held her. "It's okay." Hannah put her arms around Yasmin. Yasmin held her friend tight. "Hannah," said Hannah's dad. "Come on, you're going to stay with your grandparents for a while." "Okay daddy," Hannah said, still with tears in her eyes. "Come on Yasmin, help me pack some stuff." "Okay." Yasmin said. She went into the house and helped Hannah pack. After packing, they went back outside. "Thanks for being there for me." Hannah said, still really upset. "No problem," Yasmin said. "That's what friends are for." Hannah hugged her and said, "If Nat calls you, tell her to call my cell." "I will," Yasmin said. "Love you lot, bye Mr. Gray." "Love you lot." Hannah said. "Bye Yazzy." Hannah's dad said. Yasmin waved and then went and got into her car. She started the engine and drove off.
