Dawn feels depressed; Jasmine does her best to cheer her.

About halfway through the movie Dawn started to feel depressed about Quentin again. She’d almost forgotten her problems by concentrating on Mel’s sexy butt, but now it was back full blast. She scooted next to Jasmine until they were touching, and rested her head down on Jasmine’s shoulder. Jasmine looked at her friend, smiled, and looked back at the show. Dawn relaxed, scooting a little bit closer, appreciative of the warm body and comfort that Jasmine was providing. Jasmine’s hand slowly moved on to Dawn’s leg, and squeezed it reassuringly. They watched the rest of the movie together in silence, occasionally squeezing the other’s leg.

The video came to its conclusion, and Jasmine moved to get up, nudging Dawn a little bit to warn her that the shoulder was about to move. Dawn stretched her arms above her head, arching her body like the spine of a cat when it wakes up from a short nap.

“What’re you gonna do now, Dawn?” asked Jasmine, facing the television away from the other girl.

Dawn hung her head again.

“I dunno, Jas. I can’t go back, I think that it’s really over between him and me. I…” she broke off as the tears began again. “I don’t know what to do, I guess I’ll just go to my moms place for the night and figure it out tomorrow.”

Jasmine sighed; she knew that Dawn hated her mom.
