A SHORT STORY STARRING AMBER AND JEREOME ( Jamber)~
~Don't like? Don't read.~

Jerome's p.o.v~
*flash back*
"Im sorry…She didn't accept it." My head fell in disappointment. "What did she do exactly?" Alfie had a look of pure concern on his face. "You might not want to kn-" "Tell me." I demanded. He sighed. "She laughed and threw it away." I sat down on my bed. "If you want we can go prank som-" "go, away.." Alfie didn't object. He went out of the room quietly. Finally I could be alone with my thoughts.
Amber Millington….
That is all I could think about.
"I'm so stupid. What made me think that she would accept my note…accept me… My poem… I was sure she would like it…and after all this time I finally got the nerve to do it… and she didn't take it…I was a fool to think Amber would ever love me…love me in the way I love her." I began to laugh. "And what did I think would happen? That she would run to me?" Then I stop, because I realize that's exactly what I hoped for.
*end of flashback*
That memory flooded back to me as I walked furiously down the hallway. That was a memory that I swore to forget. I decided that I would forget Amber and move on. Which I did…or I thought I did. I am now in a relationship with Mara. Someone I love dearly. But that's what I thought.
I clenched my hand as I remembered what Alfie has done.
That day that I gave him the note, he never gave it to her. She never said those things. He lied to me…
I always knew that Alfie had a thing for Amber, but I didn't know he would betray me for her…

But worse of all he used my poem to get her….
I rounded the corner.
What would she have said to me? Would she be mine? Would she love me too?
I think about all the possibilities as I suddenly reach my destination.
Amber and Alfie were sitting together on the couch. Not touching, but talking in deep conversation. The scene sickened me. I began to move forward then stopped. Amber was laughing at something Alfie said. Her laugh was sweet and soft. Slowly I turn around. She will be happy with Alfie…

Suddenly I feel a light tap on my back. I turn around to see Amber's sapphire blue eyes looking back. I jump back a little. My nerves acted up. What's going on. I take in a deep breath and hold back my feelings…something I have done often when Amber is involved.
Then something unexpected happened…
She threw her arms around me and pulled me into a hug. She held on for longer than normal. I could feel her hair, just like satin, covering both of us. Without thinking I place my head gently on her's. Breathing in her scent. "Jerome…I know it was you." Did Alfie actually give the note to her?
"How?" After a minuet she answered. "I heard you talking to yourself.." My eyes widen. My nerves come racing back as she continued." And I want you to know, I feel the same way."
She breaks away slightly and looks into my eyes. "I only agreed to date Alfie because I wanted you to be jealous…I'm sorry Jerome."
I could see a hint of tears in her eyes.
I didn't realize that I wasn't breathing. "thh..that's fine." I pulled her in once more and continued. "I'm just glad that you accept me Amber."
She pulled away slightly once more.
"Jerome..could you do me a favor? I would like you to read me your poem."
I cleared my throat.
I need you,
like flowers need the sun.
I miss you,
like the desert misses the rain.
I could describe everything
you mean to me,
but there is only one way
to say it..
I love you.
(I know the pome sucks)

Amber reaches up slowly. "I love you too." Suddenly our lips collide. All the emotions that I hide broke through. I was engulfed in this moment knowing it would probably be the best moment of my life.
