:Beep--Hello Jasmine here who am I currently speaking to: :yes Jasmine it's Dr. Williams I'm calling to check on how you're doing: :oh I'm fine although the school dance that we have been planning for a while. Well, we had finished everything yesterday. It was all perfect. Then something happened last night and someone burnt it all down as in setting the whole place on fire: I explained. :Wow are all of you ok.: Dr. Williams asked :yes sir we are but it just infuriates me: I said getting angry trying to stop myself as my chest started throbbing again :so anything else going on any chest throbbing or pain in the head: :well actually...I'm really hurting...right now: I said breathing slowly. :Well just breathe calmly and focus on that: Dr. Williams said professionally :I..am: I said sharply :I'll send an ambulance right away: he said dialing :NO! No hospitals, really I'm fine now. The pain went away: I said shakily :you should really come in just to be safe.: He said cautiously : I'm fine the pain has subsided: I said breathing :but what if it gets so bad and hurts so much you lose consciousness and no one’s around to help: he said worriedly :really, I'm ok: I said finally relaxing. :Alright then back on topic. What were you feeling at the moment you had the attack: he asked clicking something that sounded like a pin. :Well I was angry that someone trashed our dance decorations: I explained. :Was there anything unusual: :well there were sparkes surrounding me but only slightly: I explained. :That's to be expected it's caused by the spot on your brain it'll happen occasionally its just an illusion made by the pressure against your brain.: he explained. :But it's not occasional it happens every time I have an attack: I explained :hm interesting and why is it you didn't tell me this when you were here yesterday at your appointment.: He asked :well I didn't think it mattered I thought it was just my imagination.: :Hm, well as I just said it could be from all the pressure on your brain. Has anyone else seen them while you're having an attack: he asked. :I'm not sure and if they do they haven't said anything to me.: :Ok well we will need to schedule another appointment so we can check out the sparkes surrounding you and your chest pains. Ok so I'll call or email you an appointment date and we can meet then: he said. :Alright as long as it's not on the weekend and or before three. Mainly because we have the dance this weekend and I have school plus work so if you could schedule it then that'd be great: I asked :will do if there's anything else just call ok: he advised. :Yes sir and thank you again: I thanked :no problem Jasmine and take care till we meet again: :yes sir thank you Dr. Williams bye.: :Bye--Beep--: “great another thing I need to worry about --Sigh-- well I guess I better get started. I could get the decorations called in and have them ready by Wednesday. If there are not any more setbacks” I said sighing. --Beep Beep-- Oh know what. I sighed before I looked at my phone to see the name. “Oh it's Dr. Williams I guess he chose email instead,” I said to myself opening my phone to read.

Subject: Appointment

Jasmine Your appointment has been scheduled for tomorrow afternoon at twelve thirty. This was the fastest we could schedule for you so we hope to see you. Please if possible show up ten minutes earlier have a nice day and we hope to see you tomorrow.

“Well, I guess I'll be seeing him tomorrow then. Well, either way, I'm glad I'll be getting this done sooner rather than later,” I said to myself

“Morning Momma, Daddy,” “mornin' honey did you sleep well?” Momma asked, “yeah I did I was up doing paperwork till I crashed and boy did I crash.” I laughed “I'm glad but don't work too hard,” Momma said. “Yes ma’am I won’t” “is Sophie still asleep?” Daddy asked “yes sir she is. She's dead tired” I explained “really poor thing I hope she's not working too hard” Momma sighed “yea when I woke up this morning I thought she was dead. that was until she snored” I laughed. “Well, I better get going to work. Oh, and I'll be working at the elderly center then I'll be working with the town chorus today ok” I informed. “Call us when you get off or have a break then” Momma insisted “yes ma’am” “and are you sure you don't work anywhere else today,” she asked. “No, but if I get called in I'll call and let y'all know,” I said smiling comfortingly “be careful you need to think of your health Honey,” Daddy said wearily. “yes sir, now I really need to get going. I love y'all and tell Malakie and Sophie where I'm going ok just in case” I said hurriedly picking up my bag rushing to the door. “We will love you Honey” Momma yelled “love you” Daddy hollered “love y'all” I yelled back closing the door.

“Hey sorry I'm late,” I said apologizing to everyone myself out of breath as I walked through the door. “Hello dear, how have you been,” an old woman asked as she walked over. “I've been doing better now Mrs. Winry” I smiled “oh I'm glad we missed you being here,” she said happily “we sure did,” Mrs. Charlotte said rolling over to me in her wheelchair. “I'm happy I was missed but I'm sorry if I worried you all” I apologized “no it's fine. all that matters is that you're here know dear,” Mrs. Winry said happily “oh so are you working today Jasmine” Mr. Weston asked waddling by with his kain. “Yes, sir I am” I smiled “like I've said before enough with the formalities” he scowled. “Sorry I just can't help it I was born to talk respectfully to others” “yes yes and I understand that my dear, but I'd still much appreciate it if we got rid of the sir thing,” he asked “ok Mr. Weston I'll try” I smiled. “So how long is your shift today,” everyone asked “don't know yet I haven't had the chance to check in since I've been talking to you lovely people” I smiled. “Aw you're sweet dear but you must check in” “yes ma’am I'm going now so I'll see y’all in a bit” “ok Jasmine see you around” Mr. Weston said as he waddled away “yes see you in a bit dear” Mrs. Winry smiled “by sweet Jasmine” Mrs. Charlotte said rolling away with Mrs. Winry. After watching them leave I finally walked over to the front desk smiling ready to start. “Why hello Lindsey how are you today,” I said smiling “Jasmine you're back, oh my god!” she said surprised “in the flesh” I laughed “oh look, look Johny proposed to me” “oh my god congratulations Linds I'm so happy for you.” I said happily “I know right I'm so happy I mean I really do love him,” she said gazing at the ring smiling “I know and he loves you. I'm just surprised it took him this long to ask you” I laughed. “I know,” she said happily “well you better invite me to the wedding” I stated, “well duh you’ll be one of my bridesmaids” she offered. “What for real!” I asked shocked “only if you’ll accept” “yes I'll accept! Of course, I'll accept. You're one of my closest friends” I said excitedly. “Yay I'm so happy” “same now if you could be a dear and tell me my routine for today,” I said readily. “Oh yeah well let me look,” she said turning to her computer “well today you’ll be helping and taking care of Mr. Weston, Mrs. Charlotte, Mrs. Winry, Mr. Adams, Mr. Travis, and Mrs. Sally'' Lindsey stated. “Cool so what all do we got going on today?” “well its really the usual but their lunch schedule has been changed to an earlier time” “how early,” I asked “about eleven maybe ten-thirty” she explained. “Ok but I have a doctor's appointment at twelve so I'll need to leave like at eleven fifty-five that ok?” I asked “oh ok, will you be coming back,” she asked “yeah after the appointment I'll definitely be coming back” “ok I guess I can have Jessica fill for you for about an hour maybe but no more than that ok” Linsey demanded. “Alright I probably won't even need that” I smiled “ok now go before they all come over here asking for you like last week.” she laughed “yea sorry I'll see ya later than” I smiled walking away into the room next to the hallway to see all of them Mr. Weston, Mrs. Charlotte, Mrs. Winry, Mr. Adams, Mr. Travis and Mrs. Sally sitting in front of the TV watching Bewitched. “Hey, guys so y'all got me for today. So what do y'all want to do first? Y'all want to go get some fresh air” I asked “that sounds nice dear,” Mrs. Winry agreed followed by Mrs. Charlotte followed by Mr. Adams, Mr. Travis, and Mr. Weston. The six of them all agreed in unison. All of them are already walking towards the patio doors. “Jasmine would you mind getting me my chair," Mrs. Sally asked “yes ma’am I'll gladly get your chair for you," I said rolling it to her. “Thank you sweaty” “no problem Mrs’s Sally I'm happy to help,” I said as I rolled her out. and before I knew it, it had already been a couple of hours “Hey I got to go or I'll be late I'll be Linsey so I'll be back in about an hour if not sooner” I said hurriedly looking at the time. “Oh crap! I'm so sorry Jasmine I was supposed to tell you when It was eleven fifty-five wasn't I.” “No, no, it's fine but you did get Jessica right,” I asked “yes that I did do” Lindsey stated. “Ok I'll see ya in a bit then,” I said hurrying out “bye be careful,” Lindsey said after me “will do,” I said turning around and running out.

Hi sorry, I'm a few minutes late. I have an appointment with Dr. Patrick Williams.” “Yes, one moment he's in a meeting at the moment so please wait over there.” The women said pointing to the chairs “will do thank you” I said sitting down “AND WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SHE WAS COMING HERE” I heard someone yell angrily “WHY ARE YOU LYING TO ME ABOUT THIS I MEAN I KNOW YOU HAVE A DOCTOR-PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY CODE BUT SHE'S MY FRIEND THE GIRL I LIKE IN FACT AND YOU JUST DECIDE NOT TO TELL ME WHY SHE'S COMING HERE.” He yelled the voice getting closer (wait isn't that...) “Jack” I said ducking behind the desk as he stomped out of the office Dr. Williams following in a hurry “Natalie has Jasmine called about her appointment.” “No sir she's actually already here,” she said pointing next to her desk. I stood up cautiously as the doctor's face softened. “Jasmine, I'm glad you're here we have much to do,” he said “sorry I'm late I came in while you were in your meeting.” I apologized “did you hear that” “no not really only the last part when Jack was yelling,” I said shyly. “I'm so sorry you had to hear all of that” “no I should be apologizing to you. I mean because of my asking you to keep this a secret it caused you and Jack to get in an argument” I said depressed. “Here let's move to my office so we can talk in private,” he said gesturing toward his office “ok,” I said following him. When we walked into his office we immediately started talking. “Now as I was saying it's not your fault. I should have been more careful” he sighed “how’d he find out anyway,” I asked “someone he knows named Luke. Jack said Luke saw you coming out of this office and heard you on the phone with me” Dr. Williams explained. “LUKE! Luke told him” I expressed “so you do know him,” he asked “well yeah but it's complicated right now” I confirmed. “Ah I see” “yea here lately he's been making me so mad that I can't help but yell at him I can't stand it,” I said getting angry. “I mean first he lies to me by setting me up with his sister whom I despise, then he listens in to my private conversation, then he kept on pushing and pushing and pushing until I finally gave in and ended up yelling at him AGAIN! I might add then, Saturday when I was helping Chef Charles with the investigation on the fire that destroyed the place we were going to have the Christmas dance. I was helping because I was there the night the fight started but I mean Luke showed up because apparently the chefs his stepdad but Luke he was being overprotective and wouldn't shut up like he said “you promised my Mom you’d be careful with your job this isn't being safe” or something like that. And when he said Charles was putting me in danger. Oh, boy, did I snap I mean I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself” I said finally breathing an annoyed and angered breath noticing the sparkles that had formed around me. They were surrounding me again but this time they weren’t like fire or stars they were blue as snow in the shape of teardrops. I looked to Dr. Williams as he stood shocked in amazement at the beautiful sight. I stood there with every breath I took it got harder and harder to breathe my chest hurting and my head aching I fell short of breath coughing and gasping for air as the snow like teardrops vanished going towards my body entering my chest. The doctor in immediate action hurried to my side to help me but as I was gasping and coughing for air a great painful chill hit my body as the snow like teardrops entered my body surrounding my body in a cold and painful fear that could not be stopped. Coughing rapidly I started coughing more and it worsened. Covering my mouth I coughed one final time before seeing a deep red liquid sticking to my hand sickened by fear my body started to shake vigorously. The doctor saw the fear in my eyes as I looked at my blood covered palm. Taking a tissue he wiped my hand clean I looked at him for a hint of surprise, worry, or fear something to help me but he didn't his face was as calm as ever. He grabbed my arm and hand supporting me as he helped me stand. Raising my head I felt my body tilt and swing woozily. As he walked me over to the sink there was a still quietness in the room with only the noise of the running water splashing from the movement of him washing my hands. After he finished he sat me on the bed and looked at me uneasily. Like he had something he wanted to say but didn't know how so he chose not to. My worry worsened by the minute until he finally broke the silence. “I think we need to run some more tests,” he said straightly. After all the silence THAT'S the first thing he said. It was as serious as anything I've ever heard anyone say his voice making it even worse. “Ok do you think they’ll help,” I asked “possibly I want to do some more tests and then we’ll make an observation and possibly know what to do” “ok then let's get it done,” I said content.
