Exams next week~ going to be a bit busy so yeah, enjoy~
Mara didn't really know when she fell for him. Maybe it was during school rep. election, maybe it was when he opened up to her about his past or maybe she already fell for him eons before that but was just too stubborn to admit it. Now she wasn't stubborn and has finally admitted it. Mara Jaffray is head over heels in love with Jerome Clarke.
People always took Jerome as a cold heartless person who only cared about himself but Mara saw past his cold exterior. Other people don't stick with Jerome long enough to really get to know him, well except Alfie and now, Mara.
Jerome always placed up walls to protect himself. He knew he could get hurt and he didn't want to get hurt. He spent years building up walls around him and it took Mara second to destroy them.
He loved her from the start, in every single way Mara was perfect to him. She was brighter than the stars.
Jerome was a very mischievous person but when it came to showing affection or comforting he became really awkward. Why wouldn't he? It was always new to him.
Mara understood this and she didn't need to hear it from him to know that he cares and loves her so much. She could see and feel it in the way his eyes became softer every time they saw each other, every time they held hands, every time they kissed.
Jerome always had secrets, who doesn't? But when he let her in his life he became an open book. She brought out the best in him. He was more sensitive and kinder. And he brought out the more playfully and relax side of Mara. They complete each other.
Like fire and rain, hot and cold, yin and yang. Two both polar opposites and yet they were perfect for each other.
He got her, he always knew when she was upset, and he was always the reason why she smiled or cried. He was unique because no one had that power over her, he was the only one that made her feel this way, and he was the only one she could love.
People always associated him as a mean, arrogant trouble maker but Mara knew this was just a façade to hide a young vulnerable person who was just having a hard time.
Jerome could be compared to a butterfly in his cocoon, just waiting to break free. Mara didn't rush him to break loose, he could take hi time because time is said to heal all wounds.
He knew people's opinion about him and he didn't care, he only cared about her opinion on him and when they were younger her opinion about him was the same with the rest. To her, he was as manipulative as people made him out to be. That changed a long time ago but she still feels guilty for misunderstanding him and judging him so quickly.
He was always worried that his past would come back and haunt him but Mara always reassured him that the past is in the past and now is what matters.
"I love you" she whispered to him as they stood on top of a small hill in the woods near campus.
"I love you too" he replied cupping her face and kissing her lips lightly.
Both could feel the smile on each other's lips as they kissed.
Jerome truly loved Mara, she was the light to his darkness, the one who saved him from loneliness, the one who taught him to love and be loved. She was his life, she was his soul mate and you know what made him the happiest person on this planet? She was his.
Awful drabble is awful~!
