A Dream Come True- A Jacob Latimore Story
At The Hospital, Again
When they get to the emergency room, they take Symone into the back while everybody is waiting in the waiting room.
Roc: somebody should probably call her mom
Everybody looks at Jacob
Jacob: yea I’ll call her *calls Janet*
Janet: hey Jacob
Jacob: hey Ms. Thomas
Janet: what’s up?
Jacob: umm, Symone was at cheer practice, and she was tumbling, and she landed on her arm.
Janet: oh my word. Where is she now?
Jacob: we brought her to the emergency room, and she’s in the back now.
Janet: ok, I’ll be there shortly.
Jacob: ok *hangs up*
Princeton: dang, cheerleading is dangerous.
Roc: yea, last year Shai broke her ankle!
Princeton: why do y’all keep doing it if you hurt yourselves all the time?
Monae: cus, we just love to cheer. It’s what we do.
Doctor: who is here for Symone Thomas?
They all stand.
Doctor: *sees they’re all young* is her mother here?
Jacob: she’s on the way.
Doctor: well she’s doing fine now, and I gave her some pain medicine so she’ll be sleep soon. And she can go home as soon as her mother gets here. Oh and she might want to stay home from school tomorrow, but she can go back Wednesday, if she likes.
All: thank you.
Jacob: can we go see her?
Doctor: yes, she is in room 810.
Princeton: ok.
Jacob: that’s the same room I was in.
Monae: must mean something *smiles*
They all go back to Symone’s room.
Monae: *sees Symone sitting up* girl why aren’t you laying down, looking sick?
RayRay: because she is strong, unlike you.
Monae: *looks at RayRay, but he looks away*
Symone: *sees her friends* thank goodness you’re here, let’s get out of here *gets up and walks toward the door*
Jacob: hold up girl! You gotta wait til your mom gets here.
Symone: ugh *sits on the bed*
Jacob: you got a cute little cast like me *smiles*
Symone: *holds her arm up* but mine is yellow
Jacob: like spongebob *smiles and goes to sit next to her*
Bahja: I wanna sign it!
Shai: me too!
Jacob: *takes the marker* well I get to sign it first, because I’m her boyfriend *smiles and signs it*
Monae: you’re not that special Jacob
Jacob: yes I am *smiles*
Monae: whatever,
They all sign it.
Symone: where is my mom? I’m starving
Jacob: *gets a call from Janet* hello?
Janet: hey, where are y’all?
Jacob: in her room.
Janet: what’s the room number?
Jacob: 810
Janet: ok, I’ll be there In a minute.
Jacob: ok *hangs up* She’s coming.
Symone: good.
Janet: Symone! *runs in and hugs her* how are you?
Symone: I’m fine.
Janet: good. Hey everyone
Everyone: hey
Symone: Shai will you go get that nurse and tell her my mom is here so I can leave?
Shai: *looks at her* this couch is getting really comfortable
Bahja: girl! I’ll go Symone.
Symone: thank you, BAHJA!
Jacob: the doctor said not to go to school tomorrow, but you can go Wednesday if you want to.
Symone: I want to get something to eat.
Janet: we can get something when we leave here.
Symone: uh, where is Monae?
Monae: *comes in* I’m right here
Nurse: Ms. Thomas?
Janet&Symone: yes?
Nurse: I mean your mom.
Symone: oh .
Nurse: can I see some I.D please?
Janet: yes, *takes out her I.D and shows her*
Nurse: alright Symone, you can go. Come back in a month to get that cast off.
Symone: k, bye *gets up and walks out the door*
Janet: (to nurse) thank you
Everyone else leaves out the room.
~~~~In the Parking lot~~~~
Symone: (to Jacob) wanna stay over tonight and skip school tomorrow?]
Jacob: uh, duh!
Symone: (to Janet) mom, can Jacob stay over with me. he wants to pay me back for when I stayed with him
Janet: I guess that’s fine. Jacob tell your mom you’re staying.
Jacob: yes ma’am *calls his mom*
Janet: do the rest of y’all want a ride home?
Dymonique: I mean we can all stay the night too *puppy dog face*
Janet: will all of your parents be fine with it?
Princeton: all of the boys were supposed to spend the night with me anyways. So I’ll just ask my mom.
Bahja: my momma won’t care
Shai: I’m sure my momma won’t care, but I’ll probably have to go to school.
Monae: yea same with me.
Bahja: yea me too.
Symone: well how bout y’all all stay and go to school and come back and stay again and then we all go to school together Wednesday?
Janet: won’t the rest of your friends be mad if they don’t come.
Symone: Bahja call the twins, and Roc is staying with Princeton anyways, so he’ll have to come. And somebody call Aaron.
Janet: alright.
Symone: can we go get something to eat though.
Janet: yes. Do y’all need me to stop by your house so you can get some clothes?
Everybody: yes.
Jacob: I could tell my mom to bring mine, so you won’t have to go too far out.
Janet: Ok *they all get into her mom’s big SUV.
Symone: tell Dymonique and Zonnique to be ready when we get there.
Bahja: Ok. I’ll go in while they’re coming.
Monae: me too
Shai: me too
(btw they all live next door to each other)
They get to the twins house and Dymonique and Zonnique get in and Monae, Shai, and Bahja get out.
Dymonique: Symone how are you?
Symone: Fine
Princeton: is it me or is she acting kinda cranky
Symone: whatever Princeton just shut up, ok?
RayRay: yupp, she’s cranky
Symone: *turns around* I will snatch those two little ponytails out, don’t try me
RayRay: *holds his ponytails*
Monae, Bahja and Shai get back in.
Janet: are we going to Aaron’s?
Princeton: no, him and Roc went to my house.
Janet: ok
Symone: can we go to McDonald’s or something before we go to Prince’s house?
Janet: you can wait until we pick the others up, they are your friends.
Symone: Oh My God!!!
Janet: you better watch yourself
Symone: whatever.
Monae: *whispers* why is she acting like this?
Shai: I don’t know, she is usually sweet.
Bahja: maybe it’s because she’s hungry,
Prod: we gone have to feed her soon before she starts cussing in front of her mom.
Princeton: she will probably get backslapped too.
They Laugh
Symone: what’s so funny?
RayRay: nothing
Symone: ughh, y’all are stupid.
Zonnique: excuse me?
Bahja: nique stop, she’s just going through something right now
Zonnique: mmh.
They get Aaron and Roc.
Aaron: Symone how are you?
Symone: I’m fine.
RayRay: *mumbles* yea right
Symone: what Randy? Say it a little bit louder!
RayRay: Symone just shut up! Dang! And don’t be calling me Randy unless it’s important!!
Everyone looks at RayRay.
Symone: *turns around*
Aaron: what happened here?
Dymonique: tell you later
Symone: *silent*
They go to McDonalds through the Drive-Thru.
Symone: thanks *eats her food in the car*
Janet: slow down child!
Symone: *slows down slightly*
Roc: what Is wrong with her?
Zonnique: tell you later.
They get to Symone’s house and everyone goes into the kitchen to eat, except Symone, since she already ate hers in the car.
Aaron: so what was going on with Symone?
Monae: she was on b**ch mode.
Aaron: why?
Shai: I guess she was hungry.
RayRay: she threatened to snatch out my hair.
Monae: *hugs him* aw, she didn’t mean it
Roc: Is she ok now?
Bahja: I don’t know, her mom is in the room with her now.
Janet: *comes down* She was all cranky because she was sleepy and hungry. That’s how she gets when she feels that way.
Jacob: the doctor did say they gave her medicine that would make her sleepy.
Janet: ok
Prodigy: so is she sleep now?
Janet: yea, but she’ll probably wake up in the middle of the night.
Shai: ok, well we’ll go up there when we finish eating
Janet: ok. *gets her food and goes into her room*
Jacob: I did not know she could ever act like that
Prince: that’s actually not the worst it’s been.
Jacob: really now?
Roc: yea, one time she was like that in school, and she went up to the teacher and poured his coffee on the floor.
Shai: one time she cussed us cheerleaders out!
Jacob: well I know to always keep her fed and rested.
Monae: you better, or you gone see that side of her again.
They finish eating and go up to Symone’s room
Symone: (sleep talking) 5….6…..7….8….
Jacob: she really loves cheerleading doesn’t she?
Bahja: you think?
Roc: where is her stuff?
Jacob: *thinks* I left it in the limo *calls Julius and asks him to bring her stuff over*
Princeton: you would’ve been in trouble
Jacob: for what?
Princeton: that girl can not live without her phone, I’m surprised she didn’t ask for it earlier.
Jacob: oh, well good thing you asked Roc.
Dymonique: I wanna sign her cast
RayRay: go ahead.
Zonnique: she’s sleep.
RayRay: she won’t be able to feel it.
Dymonique: ok *gets the marker and carefully sign it*
Aaron, Zonnique, and Roc sign it too.
Shai: y’all lets play truth or dare
Prod: ok *sits next to Shai*
Shai: prod you go first. Truth or dare
Prod: dare
Shai: I dare you to go pull’s Symone’s hair
Prod: *gets up and pulls her hair*
