If You Only Knew the Truth

by corrintaylor

Jerome cheated on Mara and Willow, leaving them both heartbroken and Amber left Alfie for fashion school. Will Jerome and Alfie be able to get back on their feet? Willow, Mara, and Joy are the new options for them, since Amber and Nina have left, Patricia is taken, and KT just isn't right for either of them. The only question is who matches? Dedicated to Liv and Ell :)

1. You Just Don't Get it

Joy Mercers POV

It wasn't planned and I don't really know how it happened, but it happened. There was no warning, no time to prepare. All that I know is that I don't know why it wasn't expected, and why it didn't happen sooner. It just kind of happened.

Fabian had been the man of my dreams, but Jerome had changed that. I was really a terrible person. I regret a lot of what I have done. Writing that article on Nina was borderline nasty, but kissing Fabian was even worse. I will admit, I loved running the Jackal, but I feel like it ruined so many things for me.

When Jerome and I first met, we were instantly frenemies. He was always so mean to me about liking Fabian, and him and Alfie would always pull pranks on me. Even through high school it stayed the same. However, eventually I guess we both realized because of Mara and Willow that we were soul mates.

Willow has moved on from the fact that Jerome cheated, she is even dating Alfie. But Mara is a wreck, on the outside she hates Jerome, but deep down not only is she broken, but she is yearning for him to find his way back into her heart.

I get why she is angry with me, but she needs to accept the fact that Jerome with me now, and she needs to get over her grudge. She needs to move on in life. Maybe she could get back together with Mick when he returns from Australia.

I just kept thinking in my bed. Thinking about what me and Jerome had, and what we will have. I don't know how to fix this wreck, but I swear that I will. Willow has agreed to help me win him back, she should be here any minute now.

Willow Jenk's POV

I was walking towards Joy's, KT's, and my room. I saw Mara talking to Victor, and I sensed bad vibes. I got my emergency cypress oil, and I opened the door. "But they need to be punished for what they have done! Why can't you at least consider asking Sweetie if we can reopen the Jackal? An article on Jerome cheating on me, Willow, and Joy needs to be published!" Mara whined. Bad vibes, bad vibes! I poured a bit of cypress oil on my hand threw it into the office.

"What are you doing girl?" Victor screamed at me very loudly. If he is loud he must be excited! Oh no, more bad vibes!

"I am sorry Victor, but there are too many bad vibes here and my emergency cypress oil isn't enough! I need to go get more!" I sing songed as I then skipped to my room.

I opened the door to hear someone crying. "Where have you been?" Joy sobbed. Her cheeks were stained with tears, and she had black streaks of make-up down her face.

"I am so sorry Joy, but I sensed bad vibes, and I needed to use my emergency cypress oil!" I muttered.
