Jasmine's Day Off-Chapter 21

Jasmine: "Is he going to be okay?"

Doctor: *groans* "Where am I? What happened?"

Jasmine: "You are here in this white room with me. How are you feeling buddy?"

Doctor: *looks around and then gets up startled* "No! This can't be… she promised… I… you… we can't be dead! There is no way she is the best at what she does and she promised you would be safe… this has to be a lie… some messed up dream… I-"

Jasmine: *slaps him hard* "Did that feel real?"

Doctor: *rubs face and tears start forming* "But why? You were so young… you weren't ready to go to heaven yet."

Neurologist: "What makes you think you are in heaven?" *start walking towards Jasmine*

Doctor: *fearfully* "We are in hell? No, this must have been because I screwed up." *starts crying* "Don't worry Jasmine. I'll save you from this demon." *stands in front of Jasmine, arms spread apart and knees shaking*

Neurologist: *pushes the doctor aside* "Move away wimp." *to Jasmine, sweetly* "Are you feeling better sweetie? Do you want a lollipop?"

Jasmine: "Yeah I think I'm fine now, but if I can I would like to stay here for a while… I felt fine before I ended up on the floor bleeding from my nose and ears. Better to be safe than sorry. Also, I may not be a little kid anymore, but who can deny a free lollipop from a kind doctor like you?"

Doctor: *wide-eyed* "Kind? You wouldn't think that way if you followed us around for a day."

Neurologist: "Well if you could convince her to follow us around the hospital tomorrow then I'll make sure to treat you nice."

Doctor: "Jasmine I'll give you $100 if you follow us for a day. Pretty please?"

Jasmine: *takes money* "Easiest $100 I have ever made, but first I have to ask where is Augustus?"

Doctor and Neurologist: *look at each and run towards Augustus' room*

Doctor: "Hold on." *stops the neurologist, picks her up and speedily runs towards Augustus' room*

Neurologist: "What did I tell you about touching me?"

Doctor: "Save the speech for later when you are making me your bitch. Right now you have to save his life."

Neurologist: *grabs the drill* "When I'm done drilling you, you'll wish I-" *hears thud*

Doctor: *groans* "Not again… why is it so dark in here?" *the lights suddenly turn on, the room and the doctor are covered in Augustus' dark red blood* "AAAAAHHHHH!" *runs towards door and tries to open it, but is locked* "Somebody help! Please open this door." *hears ominous laughter, and starts clawing at the door* "HELP!" *hears a crack, the doctor curls up, and then silence*

Jasmine: "What a terrible ending that was."

Augustus: "Yeah couldn't the author come up with something better?"

Jasmine: "The loser probably didn't think this story was going to be good anyways and gave it minimal effort near the end."

Augustus: "Such a shame since the kid actually showed some potential in the first story."

Jasmine: "Can you believe the editor wants the author to write 7 stories?"

Augustus: "7 books? Are they high?" *closes book and puts it away*

Jasmine: "Oh come on it wasn't that bad Auggie."

Augustus: "Let's agree to disagree. Anyways what did you think of that neurologist?"

Jasmine: "Almost psychotic, but incredibly nice when she wants to be. What did you think of the surgeon?"

Augustus: "He was skilled with his hands and I guess I can trust him with my life. Anyone else would have quit or done a half-assed job, but he didn't stop until he was certain I would leave this hospital in one piece. He has definitely earned my respect."

Jasmine: "… Aren't you going to ask me about the doctor?"

Augustus: "Who gives a fuck about that moron?"

Jasmine: "Says the moron that was cornered by me, beaten to a pulp by a dude I beat up 3 times, drove a car into a pole, swallowed 8 500 milligram pills of Tylenol and fell in love with me."

Augustus: *puts arm around Jasmine's shoulder* "I guess that last one is the smartest think I have done all day." *smirk* "What would you say if I got on my knees and proposed to you as soon as I have a ring to offer you?"

Jasmine: "That sounds so corny, Auggie… and that's why I love you. You always know when to cheer me up."

Augustus: "I think you loving me had something to do with that concussion, but I figured asking you would be work a shot."

Jasmine: "Wait, you were being serious? Uhh, I-I'll have to give it some thought but wow this is amazing. You are not being sarcastic are you?"

Augustus: "I'm being serious. I want to know if a girl like you could ever want to marry a guy like me. You can be a bit of a bitch sometime, but you are smart, beautiful, and for some reason you seem to love me. I figured since Daisy has Abbey and Paulo is chasing after Lucy..." *looks down* "Maybe we could try to find happiness with each other."
