Chapter Five: Takes Time to Know One... Or not...

-_-''''

(Chapter Five, there might be some changes like some chapters being written in regular 3rd person. Now there's going to be some ZakxJasmine. ^^ Thank you for the reviews! I wasn't actually expecting many reviews cause I'm kinda a newbie and a note to self: dedicate a random story for my random ovas. I'll also try to stick to the story plot so things make more sense. ^-^)

One Day Later...

Zak sat in his hotel room, his arms tucked behind his neck as he lay down flat on the bed and wondered why they decided to leave Zak and Jasmine alone... Alone with Jasmine... Just the thought of it made him blush like crazy, Zak could feel the increase in his heatbeat every minute he thought about her.

"Jasmine... Jasmine is cute. I think she's cute..." Zak admitted softly to himself and his heart pounded even harder in his chest.

Zak remembered waking up to a note that was in mother's handwriting saying that they had gone out the mall and would probably not return until nightfall... Chills went down Zak's spine as he heard a high pitched scream emit from down the hall... The door slammed and it broke because Zak's desperation to see what was going. He couldn't let anything happen to Jasmine, whether the reason behind this might be his potential crush on Jasmine or his natural abilty to just feel the need to protect someone. Zak didn't care, he just wanted to see if Jasmine was alright, he didn't care the extreme scolding he would get Wadi later on. He just needed to know...

Zak stood by the bed/couch that Jasmine was sleeping on and was out of breath. Jasmine was on the couch breathing heavily as she clutched the necklace that hung on her neck, gripping it so tightly that blood was falling from her enclosed fist. Zak eyes widened as he noticed the blood.

"Aren't... you... why are you..." Zak stammered, struggling to form a sentence because he was in shock.

Jasmine sighed and made herself more comfortable on the couch, trying to forget the dream and stared up at the wall. Zak stood there unsure of what to do and Jasmine hadn't even realized that Zak had entered the room.

"So... Why did you let yourself bleed like that?" Zak asked, confusion in his face.

"Do you want breakfast?" Jasmine asked, her dark brown eyes alit with childlike curiousity.

"I-

Jasmine had went up the stairs up before Zak could finish his sentence in search of her favorite do nothing outfit. Zak had decided to follow the blur of white up the stairs and Zak stared in awe of the well-kept room.

Pictures of recent trips, occasional shopping trips to the mall with friends, childhood pictures with friends and family, class pictures were thumbtacked to one section of the room, drawings, insperational quotes and anime posters were posted to most of the other sides. A collection of snowglobes, teddy bears and countless of other plush toys were on shelves, jumbled near the bed or on top of a bookshelve. To tie everything together, the room was painted with a bright royal blue.

"Found it!" Jasmine exclaimed enthusatically as she pulled on her dark blue gauntlets for good luck and crashed down on the soft and comfy bed.

Jasmine sighed and had a content look on her face as she listened to the music emitting from her ipod. A small smile found its way on Jasmine's face as she continued listening to the music. Dragon Quest Nine, one if the best games out there and Jasmine had been the lucky one to be able to download all of the video game's soundtrack. Oh how she wished she could either be a manga artist, video game creator, cartoonist or at least some kind of interesting job that involved drawing and epic graphics. To be a cartoonist and a writer was what Jasmine had set her mind to do. Life would hve been a sweet, sweet paradise if Jasmine could succed in doing that. Also to prove everyone from her mom's side wrong. The sweet, sweet satification of doing what you dreamed of doing...

Jasmine quickly sat up, grabbed her phone and dashed out the door... Zak stared in awe as Jasmine left. This time he really was alone... :[
