Chapter Twenty four

"You had another attack? Eleanor nodded at Davis as they both walked to school" It's okay, you don't have to be worried about me, mum was there to stop it". She smiled not wanting him to be worried about him also.

She hate the way everybody was worried sick about her, she just wanted to be normal and okay like every other kid in school not like the sick girl everyone thinks she was.

"You know, I hate you being sick or having one of these weird attacks". " I know that but I'm fine now".Davis reached up to touch her forehead but she shrugged the hand off. "Don't do it"

"I just want to check if you're alright". " I'm fine, I told you... I just hate when you're treating me like others do". He raised her eyebrows at her in question.

"I'm just saying, I'm not fragile, I don't want you to also treat me like a sick kid, I just want to be normal like others".

"What are you saying, I'm not treating you as a sick person" "You know that's a lie, everybody treats me as if I'm going to evaporate in a moment, I don't want that, I'm not even sick, I'm alright, hundred percent okay".

Davis watched her for a while before nodding his head " I promise, I won't treat you that way again, I was just being careful" he shrugged off the invisible dirt on his cloth and reached for her hand again and grip it warmly in his.

"Let's walk fast, we don't want to be late for school" she smiled at him and allowed him to hold her hand to the school.

"Ella had another attack last night" Serena sighed but silently poured out tea for both of them. "I made the tea with honey, you'll love it" she carried it to her friend and then brought the cookies she had made.

She watched her drink and the snack, she could see that she had been stressed for a while. "Do you think you're doing the right thing? She finally asked, " I know I'm doing the right thing, I'm just scared that she keeps having this attack".

"If you're scared then you need to stop Jasmine". " Do you even know what you're saying, I can't stop! "Then you'll spend the rest of your life being scared Jasmine" "I can't stop, you know the consequences if I do" she exhaled angrily combing her hair back with her fingers.

Serena felt speechless for a while. "I know you have a lot to tell me but just think about it" Jasmine continues. "I just need to find a solution". "Whatever you're doing Jasmine, I want you to be sure of it, you can't keep endangering her life, she's still a kid".

"I know that's a while, I have to protect her no matter how it cost...I can't allow her to turn to something she lives her regretting, I just want something that would permanently stop her attack, I hate seeing her in pain".

Serena didn't say a word as she sip her tea instead she watched her friends as she was lost in thought. "Do you think that Logan would not take any action when he finds what you're up to? In anger, Jasmine flung the teacup down and scattered the cookie in the process.

"I don't give a damn about him or what he thinks all I know is that I'm going to raise my daughter not to be anything like him, he has taken everything from me, and now I only have Eleanor! She spoke in anger and the next minutes she barged out of the house.

She does not want to hear about that monster or anything related to him, she was going to raise her daughter like the human she deserves to be and that's a promise.

Her body whole violently as she made her way home taking the available taxi home, why would she bring him up at a time like this? She thought about her daughter's attack last night, how she was scared she had been.

She was permanently going to stop it no matter how long it takes her to do that. Jasmine shut her hand, hiding her trembling hand inside her gray jacket. She just want to go home and lay on her bed that way she would be able to think properly.

Serena sat for a while and stared at the broken tea cup on the floor "What happened? she heard the bare footsteps coming toward her.

" We quarreled" she looked up at her husband, who was only wearing his pants. "You guys never quarrel, why now? She just shrugged and walked over to pick up the broken glasses.

"You shouldn't stress yourself doing that, come here, I'll help" he helped her up and bent over to pick up the glasses. "I'm surprised, seeing both of you quarrel, I'm worried". " She'll be fine in a few days, I think she needed some time alone, you don't have to worry Ben"

As much as she wanted to tell her husband, she couldn't risk her best friend secret to him. It was just between both of them, slowly she rubbed her stomach gently, she would wait to have her child.

Serena waited for her husband as he picked up the glasses and disposed "Let's go upstairs, you need your rest".

She smiled and allowed him to lead her up gently like a child to her room, she wished Jasmine would be okay soon he hates seeing her angry after she had gone through a lot in the past days.

And she also hopes that Eleanor will be alright, Jasmine made a hard decision that she was never going to change.
