Jasmine's Day Off-Chapter 41

Augustus: *tosses the bottle back to the neurologist* "I'll succeed or fail on my own. No cheap tricks this time."

Jasmine: "This time?"

Augustus: "Remember the knife that Tobi tried to stab me with back in the alley? It was just a toy… I switched his poison tipped knife because I wasn't sure if I could beat him in a knife fight… those are the kinds of cheap tricks I use." *sigh* "I manipulate in order to get what I want and I weaken the competition any way I can in order to win… even if it means using their emotions against them or tearing them down emotionally. I'm not certain why anyone would ever love me… if I can't at least make you feel like a princess, then what use am I to you?"

Jasmine: *looks at neurologist* "Can I see that bottle?"

Neurologist: "Sure why not?" *tosses the bottle over to Jasmine*

Jasmine: "Thanks… no matter what anyone says I do think you care."

Neurologist: *walks away*

Jasmine: *looks over to Augustus and put the bottle in front of him* "Here, drink up."

Augustus: *looks at the bottle and then at Jasmine* "I thought you of all people would not approve of this."

Jasmine: "She told me it was a special drink that would make me happy if I drank it and it did. Now it will do the same for you. Drink up and get rid of that depressing disposition."

Augustus: "No, my parents already do enough drinking… they can keep up their self-destructive behavior, but I won't partake in it."

Jasmine: *opens bottle* "Well I'm going to celebrate on my own I guess."

Augustus: *snatches the bottle out of her hand* "Do you have any idea what this poison can do to you?!"

Jasmine: "It is not poison… it is just a special drink that the neurologist was nice enough to share with me last night."

Augustus: "It is an alcoholic drink. Did she at least mention that much to you?"

Jasmine: *wide-eyed* "Dump it out now and let's go find her." *angry* "I can't believe she got me drunk last night. No wonder I felt so groggy when I first woke up and had to go back to sleep again."

Augustus: *puts the bottle back on the radiologist's desk* I'll make sure to give it back to her later." *walks back to bed with Jasmine* "You woke up and went back to sleep? No wonder you slept for so long."

Jasmine: "I didn't sleep for that long… did I?"

Augustus: *starts laughing* "You slept for a day! I came to check up on you twice only to find you rolled over each time. You didn't even let go of the bottle because if you did it most likely would have ended on the floor instead of in your hand a day later."

Jasmine: "So this is our third day… since we have been together. Aaaahhhh! I should be in school right now! I got to get changed and run to class." *tries to get out of bed but is stopped* "What are you doing?"

Augustus: "I should ask you the same thing. You were recently attacked, you received a concussion and you nearly died because of it… what part of that makes you think it is safe for you to go to school right now?"

Jasmine: "I don't want to let anyone down and there are a lot of people counting on me. Now move."

Augustus: "All the more reason to stay in this bed and let your body heal that way you'll be in top condition. Let me put it this way, does the softball team need a Jasmine that can run to first base or a Jasmine that limps to first base?"

Jasmine: "I'm not limping anymore. So I'm going."

Augustus: "Does it hurt when you walk?"

Jasmine: "That's beside the point." *shoves Augustus aside* "I'm going and you can't stop me." *walks away angry that her boyfriend just tried to stop her from something she feels she needs to do*

Augustus: "Oh really? Well watch me." *Augustus hugs her belly, lifts her up and just carries her to the bed*

Jasmine: *kicking and shouting* "Hey let me go!"

Augustus: *sits on top of her belly, then crosses her arms across her chest and basically pins her down in a way she can't struggle as much* "Make me."

Jasmine: "Challenge accepted." *tries to struggle her way out, but it is kind of a pathetic attempt*

Augustus: "Wow, I'm just using my body weight and nothing else… you must be really weak from… shit you haven't eaten have you?"

Jasmine: "It's on my to-do list, right between finish all of my extracurricular activities for the day and kick your sorry behind all the way home! Get off!" *grunts as she is still trying to escape*

Neurologist: *walks in and sees Augustus on top of Jasmine; sees Jasmine struggling* "I thought I said make her moan without having sex with her… or was that too complicated for you?"

Jasmine: "RAPE!"
