Chapter nineteen,

you don't know freddy kruger?

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

   JASMINE HAD RED AND DARK GREEN STRIPED LONG SWEATER, it had just barely reached her thighs, but she had shorts underneath so no one would be able to see her butt, jumping when someone appeared right behind her, "What are you supposed to be?" A soft voice, Jodie Moore.

She had met Jodie in her English class, and easily began a friendship with her, a little bit on the defense side in the very beginning since it was Jodie who approached her, and she was still a bit hesitant to make any new friends, as she didn't want to replace Liv.

She still didn't want to let go of Liv.

Jasmine who smiled, and tilting her own head, "You don't know freddy kruger?" She was actually surprised since this is probably one out of the many horror classic movies, "He would terrorize kids in their dreams based on their fears, and kill them." She mumbled.

Jodie who took a sip of her own alcohol before speaking, "Never seen the horror film, Jas. I've told you that my dad was really strict with horror films, the slashing and all of that it brings back memories for him, and he didn't want me to see none of that." She softly said.

Jasmine who just nodded her head in understanding, "Shit — I'm so sorry, I totally forgot." She had soothed her friends arm.

Jasmine had a habit of forgetting certain things, and this was probably one of them. Jodie has always been vague about her family, and Jasmine wasn't going to peer pressure her into spilling her family drama, as it wasn't her business either.

   Jodie who smiled, "It's okay. . . Though, I don't mind being a witch for tonight." She had pointed her finger to her hat, as she had a black dress that hung tightly onto her body, but her eyes drifted towards the person coming into the party.

   Tara.

   Jasmine who noticed it had a sneaky smile appear on her face, "Go get your girl, I'm going to go look for my boyfriend!" She cheered her on, as Jodie felt her cheeks just reddening and lightly shaking her head already heading on over there.

Jasmine who made her way through the crowd of other teenagers who were dancing, or drinking alcohol until she seen her boyfriend who was standing beside Ethan, both simply dancing.

A smile had made way into her lips, approaching her boyfriend from behind and wrapping her arms, "I have a girlfriend, get your hands off me!" He was in shock when he felt someone hugging him, and not being able to see who was touching him.

   Jasmine who giggled, "I am your girlfriend, you silly man!" She had stuck her tongue out at him, as he had turned his entire body around to glance at her, a smile had now appeared on his face as he pulled her closer to him, "You're so gorgeous, so fucking beautiful!" He slurred out, he was a bit drunk but not that drunk to forget his girlfriend.

Jasmine who had let out a laugh at his silly antics, "What are two even doing over here, dancing in the corner like little weirdos?" She eyed Ethan who had a cardboard on his head, he smiled at her, all while shyly speaking, "He's trying to find me a girlfriend, and it's not going to even work." He pointed his finger at Chad who was just rubbing his Jasmine's pregnant belly.

Chad who replied, "Yes it is! You've got to have confidence. Plus, look at you, man! You're a snack. Practically an entire meal all on your own." He complimented his friend.

   Jasmine who had to refrain herself from giggling, as she found it adorable on how her boyfriend was simply hyping up Ethan Landry. He wasn't even bad looking, but Ethan isn't her type, though she knew someone out here will love Ethan Landry.

   Ethan who had just let a smile appear on his face at his roommates compliment, "Really?"

   Chad who nodded his head, "Yeah. You're Ethan Landry. . ." He then turned his head to a crowd of girls, "Hey, excuse me! Howdy. How you doing? My friend here, he's a snack, right?" He tilted his head at Ethan who had a awkward smile on his face.

   The girl who slightly hesitated on nodding before turning her entire body around back to her friends, "Rude much." Jasmine narrowed her own eyes at the girl.

   Ethan who was confused, "What did that mean?" He questioned his friends.

   Chad lightly chuckling, "No, it's good."

   Jasmine who bluntly said, "No, it's not."

   "What?" Ethan had questioned them since he was just receiving different answers from them, and didn't know who to believe.

Chad who given a awkward look, "It's not bad. There's room for improvement." He had patted his friend, a smile on his face.

Jasmine who just given him a comforting smile and reassurance, "You just have to find yourself a nice girl, E. Don't change yourself to fit anyones expectations." She had given him a thumbs up.

It was then she heard her cousin speaking, one of her arms wrapping around her shoulder, and the other wrapping around Chad's, "Hey, big guy, you're needed. . ." She then drifted her eyes towards Jasmine, "Tara is dragging Jodie with her along into a pure disaster, and they are not in the right headspace." She had slowly said.

Jasmine went into high alert — She fucking loves Tara, but lately she's been pissing her off to the extreme. Never fucking listening to Sam, and then always dragging Jodie into doing something real fucking shitty.

   Perhaps, she was really protective of Jodie because at times she would believe it was Liv, or pretending that it was Liv. Also, the guilt she had always felt stirring in her body of all the different possibilities that night could've went.

   Her friendship with Tara was rocky.

   Especially, with how the night had ended in the party with Samantha Carpenter using a taser on Frankie, and people who were noticing Samantha Carpenter who's Billy Loomis kid, and also her. . . Though, everyone here knew who she was. Jasmine Altieri, she had finally taken her fathers last name, and just decided to roll with it.

────────────────────

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU TWO PUNCHED HIM," Jodie practically shook her own head in just completely amusement, walking right beside her friend who's hand was just intertwined with Chad's.

Jasmine who just replied, "Well, you better believe it. He was talking too much, and saying none sense." She didn't like it one bit when that word had left his lips, he'd been about to hit her back after getting humiliated only for Chad to punch him afterwards, "And he was going to lay his ugly ass hands on my girlfriend, and no lays a hand on her." He huffed.

   He found it pathetic on how people assumed that they can even lay a finger on his pregnant girlfriend, especially on the first week on their college, a sworn of people would approach her, and asking her just inappropriate questions, all that were specifically about Mickey Altieri, and some would be inappropriate, or asking her if she's a psycho.

   He'd always appear in the view and shoving them all away from her, and being aggressive towards them, but he'd simply do it, again to protect them.

   Jasmine who just given her friend a worried look, speaking her honest opinion, "You're my friend, and I love you. And, I mean this in the kindest way possible. . ." She slowly began to speak, "Please stop following Tara around, and putting yourself in dangerous situations for her. Just let her be because right now, she's just acting like a child, and it's getting out of hand." She deadpanned.

   Chad who nodded his head in agreement at what his girlfriend was saying, "Minnie is right, Jo. This is possibly the third time she leads you into doing something reckless like this, what if we weren't here?" He raised his eyebrow at her, all while Jodie crossed her arms.

   She shrugged her own shoulders not really knowing how to even respond to that question, softly speaking, "Then. . . I don't know. I just want her to really like me, and if I do what she likes. . . Maybe, she'll notice me better." Her voice just broke. Perhaps, this was why she'd do these risky things for her, despite it being dangerous.

She just wants Tara to look at her the same way she does, but she never does or if she does people interrupt them, and then Tara ignores her.

Jasmine who sighed, "Jodie. . . I'm so—"

The sound of a girl shouting at Samantha, and ultimately dumping water on her captured their attention, "Murder!" She sneered, it was then that Mindy and Tara were attempting to hold back Sam.

Samantha who argued back, venomously speaking, "What the fuck is wrong with you, bitch!?" Sam snarled in hatred.

The unknown blonde's eyes drifted from Samantha to Jasmine's, "Holy shit — Look at what we have here, the psycho killers daughter in the making!" She snarled.

   Jasmine who was just about ready to jump her only for Chad to keep a gentle yet tight grip on her so she wouldn't cause any chaos, "You don't even know what you're talking about, you stupid blonde bitch!" She yelled out before her eyes twinkled in amusement, "It's always the blondes who die in horror!" She flicked her off.

   Anika alongside Chad, "Minnie!"

   The blonde hair girl just fumed in complete anger, "You all should stay away from these two. . ." She had pointed her finger at Sam and Jasmine, "They know what they did!" She had backed away.

   Sam who was pissed, "We didn't fucking do anything!" She yelled attempting to approach the unknown girl, all while Tara pushing her back to not start a fight.

   Despite Jasmine and Sam not getting a long at times, both would always defend each other on situations like these.

   The unknown girl blabbering, "Sure, bitch.

   It went into a comforting silence before Tara and mostly everyone else waking away, leaving Sam to take a moment, Jasmine who happened so to just hug her from behind, "It's okay, Sam. You're not a murderer ." She kissed her cheek before continuing her walk with Chad back to the Carpenter's apartment.

A sense of reassurance had washed over Samantha Carpenter after what Jasmine told her, it gave her a sense of comfort.

Sam who still remained completely alone had noticed someone behind a tree, vanishing from her view, "Fuck this shit." She stormed back to her apartment.
