Ch14: Lola's great sense of timing.

Carmen nodded as she Katie and Jasmine were heading to Lola's house. "But you sure it's nothing really bad Jazz?" She asked.

Jasmine nodded pulling the scarf a bit tighter to protect her throat better. "I'm not sure It's just a bit sore for all I know it's just a cold. I mean it's been a while since I have been so cold."

Katie nodded but she frowned hearing how hushed Jasmine's voice sounded. "Fine we wont tell them what about Lola?"

Jasmine shook her head and Katie and Carmen nodded.

"Better not worry the worry-wart." Katie said as the continued to Lola's place. The older girl had called saying she had great news.

BTR-BTR-BTR-BTR.

"So am I a great friend or what?" Lola grinned telling them the good news. "It's tonight and it's going to be on the news. It would be a great way to promote to the face. Maybe you could get one of the guys to say they agree with a canpagne. And of course Carmen and Jasmine will sing 'All or nothing."

Katie , Jasmine and Carmen just stared at Lola.

"Aren't possed to be shy?" Carmen finally asked.

Lola just grinned. "I'm just so glad they accepted my request! I have been trying to get you on the news since the project was such a hit at school! And Jazz you don't mind singing on the news right? Sorry I didn't ask but I wanted to make it a surprise." Lola said in a rush.

"Oh she's surprised alright." Katie said amazed at lola's amazing sense of timing. "It's really cool how you managed to get all this done but... Jazz isn't feeling well and sh-"

"That's great Lola!" Jasmine said happily.

Katie and Carmen frowned looking at Jasmine.

Jasmine herself was doing her best not to burst out in a coughing fit. She had yelled at the top of her longs to get those three words out and it still sounded kind of hushed. But there was no way she was going to ruining her chance to sing on the tv by just a sore throat.

BTR-BTR-BTR-BTR.

James opened the door to let Katie and Carmen in. "Hi girls... What's with the honey and tea?"

"Eh... Nothing!" Carmen answered.

Katie rolled her eyes. "We're just gonna have some tea." She said walking in and headed to Jasmine's room. Carmen stayed at the door for a moment longer before she smiled at James and followed Katie to Jasmine's room.

Jasmine looked up when they entered. "Did you bring it?" She asked.

Katie nodded. "Yep tea and sweet honey all to shoot your throat."

Carmen grabbed the big spoon she had taken from her mom's kitchen. "Open up." She said grinning cheerfully holding the big spoon in front of Jasmine.

Jasmine frowned. "That's a big spo-" She was cut of by Carmen forcing the spoon in her mouth. Jasmine shuddered. "Oh that is just tooooooo sweet."

"You have to take three full spoons." Kate sad hands on her hips. "Wouldn't it be much easier to just tell Lola you don't feel well."

Jasmine shook her head and Carmen quickly forced two more spoons in her mouth.

"Okay now try!" Carmen grinned as Jasmine walked to the middle of her room and started the song.

"They can play 'let's pretend'
Make out like they're my best friend
Telling their lies
And they can scheme behind my back
Make fi-"

"Stop!" Kate and Carmen yelled.

"Jazz sorry but that was horrible!" Katie said removing her hands from her ears.

Jasmine sighed and sat back down. "Okay try the tea next."

BTR-BTR-BTR-BTR.

Carmen glared at the stylist. "Why wear no sleeves when snow?" She asked. The men sighed not really having a good come back.

Jasmine groaned leaning on her elbows. None of the methods Katie and Carmen had come up with had helped and she still sounded like what Katie had referred 'a old cat who swallowed a half dead frog'.

She groaned again burying her face in her hands.

"I know you want to perform on tv but what's worse not performing at all or performing and sounding like a 'old cat who swallowed a half death frog'?" Katie asked putting a hand on her back.

Jasmine looked up at her friend and opened her mouth to say something and frowned to hear her voice was barely above a whisper. She sighed something which was barely noticeable and nodded. She looked over the crew and got up and rushed over spotting what she was looking for.

Katie watched Jasmine rush over to James and pulled at his arm to get his attention. She motioned him to lean forward so she could whisper something to him.

Katie sighed sadly as she saw James's cheerful grin disappear completely to change in a worried frown. James put his hand on Jasmine's forehead he shook his head and grabbed his cell phone.

Katie sighed easy guessing that Jasmine was once again had to go to the hospital.

"She told them?" Carmen asked stepping up next to her and Katie nodded. "Yep and now we have to tell Lola."

BTR-BTR-BTR-BTR.

Lola sighed relieved walking in Jasmine's bedroom the next day. She smiled spotting the taller girl in her bed. James had immediately called their parents and taken Jasmine to the hospital were they gladly found out she just had a real bad cold which eventually turned in the flue.

Jasmine looked up and smiled slightly. "Hey Lolilta." She said her voice was louder now thanks to the medicine she had taken earlier but it was still a bit hoarse.

"Hi." Lola said sitting down making herself comfterable on the other side of the bed.

For a few moments there was an awkward silence in the air.

"I'm sorry." Jasmine finally said.

Lola blinked. "What?"

"I'm sorry you did all that work trying to get us on television and then had to cancel it because of me."

Lola sighed. "Jasmine I didn't care I had to cancel it. I'm upset you didn't tell me you weren't feeling well."

"But.-"

"No Jasmine this was way more important! Your throat hurted and with your family history having a sore throat could have ended horrible!" Lola yelled.

Jasmine sighed. "I know Lola! I already got this lecture from mom , dad and even James was upset about it! I know I was stupid I should have told someone but I was just-" Jasmine looked away stopping herself.

Lola frowned at Jasmine's hesitation. "Just what?"

Jasmine looked down and mumbled something.

"What?"

"Scared. I was scared." Jasmine whispered. "My aunt died because she had weak lungs. I woke up and my throat hurt and I panicked okay." She said looking away.

Lola blinked realizing it. "Oh Jazz of course why didn't I think of that!" She said suddenly pulling the tall girl in a hug.

"Lola what are you doing? You could get sick!" Jasmine gasped.

"Your aunt died because of bad lungs and everyone in your family has weak lungs so they watch you and worry at every cough. Of course you panicked." Lola said still hugging her.

"So your not mad?" Jasmine asked.

"Nope."

"So we don't have this huge fight going on?"

"Nope."

Jasmine sighed. "Thanks."
