Jasmine has been moody all day. She didn't talk to anybody and had a long face.
"What's up Jas?" Samuel has been worried about her and decided to ask her what the problem was.
"Nothing!" Jasmine said without looking at him.
"I can tell there's something" he whispered "please tell me, maybe I can help" he was concerned about his sister.
"He didn't come last night" she was trying her best to not break down in tears.
"What?! He stood you up?." Samuel knows how much Jasmine liked Abel. He knew Jasmine has always wanted to be his girlfriend but now he stood his sister up!
"Maybe something came up" he reasoned.
"And he didn't call me?" And the tears finally fell.
"Hey, calm down. I know he should have called you but maybe something happened and he was busy and couldn't call you. You know he is always busy with work. " He held her shoulders trying to calm her down.
"You're right. Maybe something came up. Abel wouldn't leave me on purpose right?"
Yeah, Abel wouldn't do that.
Abel has feeling for her and there's no way he could change overnight right?
Jasmine wiped her tears and stood up. "I'll wait for him to call me" she turned to her brother and said" thanks, I wouldn't have thought of that on my own "
"I'm your brother and I'm supposed to support and care for you so it's normal for me to help you" they both smiled at each other and Jasmine's eyes started inspecting the house. "where's dad and Giselle? I haven't seen them since after breakfast"
"Oh..... Giselle has an interview and dad went to visit Mr Khan leaving the both of us"
"Okay".
"I have to go to my friend's house now. Can you stay here alone?" He planned to tell her but she didn't say anything since morning.
"Go. I can stay here and do something meaningful with my life or I can watch Netflix and sleep before y'all get back"
"Are you sure you'll be okay?"
"Yeah, trust me"
With that Samuel left leaving Jasmine at home .
