Chapter 6: "Say What?!"

Jasmine's thoughts were interrupted when Amy stormed into her room.

"Cody and Carrie had a fight in the parking lot!" Amy screamed.

"What?!"

"I know!"

"Are you sure?" Jasmine asked.

She didn't want to be excited just yet. She needed to make sure that this was true.

"It's all over YouTube!"

Hmm…YouTube, huh? I better check that out…

"Really?"

Jasmine snapped back to reality. She was picturing how their break up was. It must've been really hard.

"Yeah, I think she was cheating on him. He broke up with her!" Amy yelled out the last sentence.

They screamed.

Jasmine was so surprised. How could this be? Carrie and Cody broke up, again? This was her time, her chance to tell Cody that she loved him. She was a bit anxious, but her excitement overcame her anxious self. She ran to Cody's dressing room and gingerly knocked on his door.

"Leave me alone," Cody warned darkly.

Jasmine ignored his command, and entered his room.

"Cody?"

She found him curled up on his couch. It appeared as if he was crying, but she couldn't exactly tell if he was. She felt this wave of sadness when she entered his room.

"I said to leave me alone," he reminded Jasmine.

I won't leave you alone. I could never be able to.

"Cody, it's me…Jasmine," she said humbly.

"Jazz?" Cody said with a sniffle.

"What's wrong?" Jasmine asked, concerned.

I've never seen Cody like this. He must've really loved Carrie. (sigh)

"It's nothing," Cody said.

"I know that something's bothering you. Come on Cody, you can tell me anything," Jasmine stated.

"Carrie was cheating on me with…the Miz," he said with a shaky voice.

"What? Why would she do that?" she questioned angrily, now.

The Miz was the stupidest person she could think of. Why would anyone fall for him? Yuck.

"I can't believe…that she would do that to me."

"Forget about her Cody. You can get another girl. She's probably right under your nose, and you might not even realize it," said Jasmine.

…More like sitting right next to you…No, stop. How can I be so selfish? I can't even imagine what he's going through.

"Do you really think so?" he asked.

He blinked twice. A perfect teardrop fell from his cheek.

With that lovely face? Yeah, I think so.

"I know so, Cody."

"Thanks, Jasmine. ...You really know how to cheer me up."

He shone a brilliant smile. His dazzling smile didn't assure her that he was fully relieved.

"That's me. Hey, don't you have a match against the Miz next?"

"Yeah, I do. But, I'm not going to throw all my anger at him. I don't care if Carrie's on his side because I got you, Jazz, on mine."

Jasmine almost blushed. He hugged her for a while.

"Now, come on, let's go," Cody said.

Jasmine felt overwhelmed because of Cody's complement.

Hopefully, this is my time to start anew.
