This is a story to help my writer's block, and it's basically about how Jerome and Nina would feel when Joy returns and everyone abandones them. (Victor's left.)
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except the plot.
Chapter 1
It all started when Joy returned. Fabian started to hang around with her and Patricia. Then, Alfie and Amber started hanging round with Mara and Mick. So, Nina started to hang around with Jerome and she saw a completely different side to him. But, what hurt most was that none of her friends remembered her birthday.
"I can't believe them!" She said angrily. " Thanks for the present Jerome."
"It's okay Neens. They might be..." he thought for a moment. "Getting your present now." He said. She gave hm a look that plainly said 'yeah right. I'm not stupid.'
"I bet that none of them will notice when I'm gone." She said sadly.
"Neens. Your not gunna die." He said, hands cupping her face. "Your getting the best treatment." Nina had been shot 1 month ago and has been getting treatment ever since. After the talent show, she's got to go to the hospital to have an operation. Only the teachers, Jerome and Trudy know. "Anyway, are we still doing the talent show."
"Yeah. I know the perfect song." She said, smirking.
Xx The day of the Talent show. xX
Everyone was in the hall, sitting on seats, waiting for the next act to come on. Suddenly, a bunch of kids came on, each going to a different instrument on stage. What suprised the rest of the Anubis House kids was that Jerome was at the mic.
(A/N:/ Nina singing is in Italics, Jerome singing is in Bold, and them both singing is Bold Italics)
Nina was outside the Hall, in the corridor. She started singing into the mic when Jerome texted her. (She had her phone on silent.) When she started to sing, everyone looked around to see where the voice was coming from.
I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
Call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life
I told the World one day I would pay it back
Say it on tape, and lay it, record it
So that one day I could play it back
But I don't even know if I believe it when I'm saying that
Doubt's starting to creep in, everyday its just so grey and black
Hope, I just need a ray of that
Cause no one see's my vision when I play it for 'em
They just say its whack
They don't know what dope is
And I don't know if I was awake or asleep
When I wrote this,
All I know is you came to me when I was at my lowest
You picked me up, breathed new life in me
I owe my life to you
Before the life of me, I don't see why you don't see like I do
But it just dawned on me you lost a son,
Demons fightin' you, it's dark.
Let me turn on the lights and brighten me and enlighten you
I don't think you realize what you mean to me
Not the slightest clue
Cause me and you were like a crew
I was like your sidekick
You gon either wanna fight when I get off this fucking mic
Or you gon hug me
But I'm out of options, there's nothing else I can do cause...
I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
Call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life
It hurts when I see you struggle
You come to me with ideas
You say there just pieces so I'm puzzled
Cause the shit I hear is crazy
But your either getting lazy or you don't believe in you no more
Seems like your own opinions, not one you can form
Cant make a decision you keep questioning yourself
Second guessing and its almost like your begging for my help
Like I'm your leader
Your supposed to fucking be my mentor
I can endure no more,
I demand you remember who you are
It was YOU, who believed in me
When everyone was telling you don't sign me
Everyone at the fucking label, lets tell the truth
You risked your career for me
I know it as well as you
Nobody wanted to fuck with the white boy
Hey, I'm crying in this booth
You saved my life, now maybe its my turn to save yours
But I can never repay you, what you did for me is way more
But I ain't giving up faith and you ain't giving up on me
Get up girl, I'm dying, I need you, come back for fuck's sake cause
I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
Call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
(I need a doctor, doctor
to bring me back to life) Nina walked through the doors that lead to the hall, and everyone turned to see her start singing. As she was singing, she walked down to the stage.
It literally feels like a lifetime ago
But I still remember the shit like it was just yesterday, though
You walked in, yellow jump suit
Whole room, cracked jokes
Once you got inside the booth, told you, like smoke
Went through friends, some of them I put on
But they just left, they said they was riding to the death
But where the fuck are they now
Now that I need them, I don't see none of them She looked at the people in Anubis House, who were supposedly her friends.
All I see is Slim
Fuck all you fair-weather friends
All I need is him
Fucking backstabbers
When the chips were down you just laughed at us
Now you bout to feel the fucking wrath of aftermath, faggots
You gon see us in our lab jackets and ask where the fuck we been?
You can kiss my indecisive ass crack,
Maggots and the crackers ass
Little crack a jack beat making whack math,
Backwards producers, I'm back bastards
One more CD and then I'm packing up my bags and as I'm leaving
I'll guarantee they scream 'Neens don't leave us like that girl' cause... She walked onto stage.
I'm about to lose my mind
You've been gone for so long
I'm running out of time
I need a doctor
Call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life As they slammed their mics onto the table at the side of the stage and walked off, everyone was clapping.
Xx At the house xX
Nina went to the hospital with Trudy amd Jerome stayed at the house. He was sitting in the common room reading, when everyone came in to apologise.
"Hey Jerome. We just wanted to say sorry." Alfie said. Jerome huffed.
"You just don't get it. You lot haven't even noticed that Nina isn't here." He shouted, getting angry.
"Why? Where is she?" Amber panicked.
"At the hospital."
"WHAT?" Amber screamed.
"Why do you care?" Jerome sat back down, continuing reading.
"Because I'm her BBF!" Jerome laughed bitterly.
"Then how come none of you, especially you Amber, remembered her birthday? It was on Tuesday. Me, Trudy and her Gran were the only ones who remembered." Jerome said to them and walked off. Everyone else looked at each other, ashamed.
"I can't believe we forgot." Fabian said.
"I have an idea. We should throw a 'Sorry we forgot' party." Mara said. Everyone agreed.
xX In Jerome and Alfie's Room Xx
Jerome carried on reading until he heard his phone ring. He looked at the Caller's ID and saw it was Trudy's.
"What's happened? Is she alright?" He spoke into the phone, panicking.
"Yes. She's fine. They've found out who shot her. It was Rufus. The police are looking for him, but they said that you and Nina should go into hiding until he's found. he's very dangerous. Nina's Gran said that you and Nina can come back to America and stay with her. Mr Sweet has said that as long as you two are safe, you can both go. He also said that as soon as Rufus has been caught, you can return to school." Trudy said. At this point, Jerome was packing all his most valuble possesions and clothes into his suitcase. "We'll see you in a minute. We're nearly home."
"Okay Trudy. See you in a minute. He finished his packing and heard the front door close. He walked out of his room with his stuff and saw Nina going upstairs.
"Nina, just pack your most valuble possesions. And, HURRY UP!" He shouted the last part up to her. A few minutes later, and she came rushing down stairs.
"Okay, okay, don't get your knickers in a twist." She said to him.
"Just come on." They ran outside to the cab Trudy had called, and hugged her goodbye.
"Look after each other now, okay sweeties." She said, tears in her eyes. When they got into the cab, everyone came outside.
xX 2 & 1/2 Months Later Xx
No-one except Trudy and the teachers knew where Nina and Jerome had left to. Trudy had been slightly down ever since. After the first month, everyone had given up on asking the teachers where the two were, when Mr Sweet had told them that if they came back, they would tell them.
xX At Nina, her Gran and Jerome's flat in NYC Xx
"Nina! Hurry up. We're gonna be late!" Jerome shouted. They had packed their stuff and decided to visit Trudy for Christmas. The plane they were catching was leaving in 3 hours and it took 2 hours to get to the airport. (It's 5am)
"I'm coming! Keep your hair on!" She shouted, slipping and sliding onto the room. They ahd both changed a lot. Nina had died her hair a dark red and had a purple streak in it. She was wearing a long, knee-length, white, vest-like top, blue skinny jeans amd white flats, complete with a grey cardigan. Jerome had changed his clothing personality. He was wearing black jeans, a white t-shirt and a red checkered shirt, unbuttoned. They said goodbye to Nina's Gran and walked downstairs to the cab.
X At Anubis House X
A cab appeared outside Anubis House. Two figures came out of the cab and Mr Sweet greeted them. The three of them walked up to Anubis house. Mr Sweet went back to school and they went into the house.
"Trudy?" Jerome shouted. She walked into the room and dropped the laundry she was holding. She ran towards them and hugged them. She ushered them into the kitchen and they started talking.
"So, have they caught him?" Trudy asked.
"No, I don't think so. We just thought we should visit you to cheer you up. We'll be staying over Christmas while Gran is spending her Christmas with her boyfriend in Spain." Nina told her.
"Are we in time for dinner? I'm starving." Nina said. Jerome looked at her, disbelievingly.
"Nina! You ate everything in the fridge this morning!" Jerome said whilst Trudy laughed.
"Chinease and Take-Aways aren't that filling." Seh said dismissively.
"You weren't saying that when you were scoffing them down this morning." He retorted. Nina waved a hand at him dismissevely, looking at Trudy.
"No dear, dinner will be ready soon." Trudy smiled, chuckling.
"Okay. Are we in the spare rooms?" Nina asked.
"Yes. but, Alfie and Amber foought a lot to try and keep your stuff in their rooms." She told them whilst cooking dinner.
"Okay. We're gunna go unpack." Jerome told her, dragging Nina upstairs.
xX In Jerome and Nina's Room Xx
"Aaahh, it's so good to be back. Don't bother unpacking Neens, we'll be leaving in 2 months." Jerome said. She sighed.
"Your right. Lets go to dinner," She said, hearing Trudy call everyone down for dinner.
Xx At Diner xX
When everyone found out Nina and Jerome were back, Amber and Alfie were the first ones to give them hugs. Everyone else gave them hugs, except Joy, who didn't even give Nina a smile. Nina and Amber sat across from Jerome and Alfie and, when Trudy was out of the room, Jerome thought about something.
"So," He smirked, looking at Nina, "Are you gunna tell Trudy about your little 'sleepover', or shall I?"
"If you want me to tell her about yours, you will." She retorted. Everyone was now listening to them.
"But atleast I don't have to face the concequences." Nina glared at him whilst he laughed.
"If you tell anyone, and I swear I will pour this-" She grabbed the jug of water on the table, "Down your pants." She smiled when that wiped the smirk off his face. He looked down and started eating. Then, Mara suddenly got what they were on about.
"Nina, you didn't?" Mara said shocked. Nina blushed.
"She did." Jerome snickered. Nina stood up and he grabbed the jug of water before she could reach it. "Calm down. Anyways, I didn't techniquely tell her." Nina galred at him and sat back down. Once everyone was done, Mara dragged Nina upstairs to Nina and Jerome's room.
xXx Nina and Jerome's Room xXx
"So, who was he?" Mara asked.
"Who was who?" Nina said, unconvincingly.
"The guy you slept with?" Mara said, giving Nina a look.
"A guy who I had been dating."
"Wha-Wait, you said had been. Nina?"
"After we slept together, he dumped me." Nina said sadly.
"Oh, I'm so sorry." Mara said.
"It's okay. Jerome beat him up for taking advantage of me." Both girls laughed.
"Okay. Anyway's, I'll see you tomorrow." Mara said, walking to her room.
"Night Mars." Nina said, falling asleep.
