Puppet Clown: the Joker's Side

A/N: Happy HOA ONE SHOT DAY 2013! This is my story, based on Hatsune Miku's song, "Karakuri Pierrot" which means, "Puppet Clown". I basically took what I wanted from the song, and mixed it with my ideas, equals, "Puppet Clown: the Joker's Side". I didn't get the chance to post yesterday since the inernet connection was being a butt...

Enjoy, and happy HOA One Shot Day to all of the readers, even if its not July 30 in your country.

It was raining. I sat down on a chair outside the café where we were supposed to meet. I waited there, reading my book.

Two hours passed.

Thirty more minutes passed.

I wasn't going to let this become a third hour, so I left the café. I couldn't believe Jerome would do this to me!

I mean, does he do this to every girl he hooks up with? And I mean, me, Mara Jaffray?

I mentally cussed.

F—Mara, where are your manners? Don't cuss any longer. Calm down. Breathe in, and breathe out.

I went back to the house to see everyone laughing at me. Do they take me as a clown or something?

"Mara, you believed that easily?" Jerome asked me. I was taken aback by this.

Why would he do this to me?

"Surprise, Mara, surprise. That was a prank, and you were stupid enough to believe my words! HA!" he said, making everyone laugh.

I slapped him. "Jerome! Do you think this was funny? You were lucky enough to have someone like you and you throw it away and turn it into a joke? You are the worst human ever! You know, I would rather date Corbierre than you!" I screamed, tears running down my face.

"Have you seen Mara? We've been looking for her for hours!" Joy said, going in the house together with Patricia. I ran up the stairs, only to hear the two gasp and scream, "MARA!"

They ran up to my room, and to their dismay, found it locked.

"Mara, why are you crying?" Patricia asked through the door.

"Jerome," I simply answered through my tears. Everything started to spin around me, I felt dizzy and fell on the floor. I could hear Patricia and Joy scream my name repeatedly.

Everything around me seemed to blur, my breath shortened, my head was pounding. I fainted.

I woke up in the hospital. "MARA! MARA! FORGIVE ME PLEASE!" Jerome screamed out.

I groaned and clutched my head. It was still spinning. "Why would I forgive you?" I bitterly replied.

"Because, Mara, I wasted my chance to be yours. I regret what I did with all my heart and if you don't want to forgive me, its okay. I would wait until you forgive me, okay, Mara? And if you think this is insincere, why would I be the only one with you in the hospital? Why would I do what I never ever do in front of the people who hate me?" he explained.

He was crying and he was right.

"I-I forgive you," I whispered, he seemed to hear it as he hugged my quickly, and I hugged him back. I started crying too.
