Ok, I ship VERY odd couples. And in this chapter, you will be introduced to one of them. ALL of my shipments will be in this story, and if you want to know what those couples are, go to my profile! Pretty much the only slightly normal couple I ship is Mamber (Mick and Amber). The others you might have heard of, but they aren't common. Well, here's the next chapter!
Mara's POV (Right before she tried to kill herself)
I know that I should think that Mick isn't good enough for me, but I can't help but think it's the other way around. I reach for my pen, and the notebook I brought in the bathroom with me, and write everyone a note to all of my housemates. Mick, Amber, Joy, the baby. Everyone.
I tell them all not to be too upset, and I try to say something that will cheer them up. I try not to put in anything bad, except for Ambers, but Amber and I have always done that. She would say I was geeky, but in the most loving way, and I would say she was annoying, in the most loving way. It's always like that.
We're like sisters.
But, now I know that she can have her selfish, greedy way. I found out in the most harsh and decieving way.
She made my boyfriend a father to her child.
It breaks my heart everytime I think about it.
I cry, and I cry, and I cry until no more tears will come out. I realize that there's nothing to cry over.
Just give them a taste of there own medicine.
I want to make them cry.
I want to make them think it's their fault.
But, I'm not an evil person like that.
So I wrote them each a note saying something nice. Just a short and sweet note, nothing too big, and i fold them up, and grab my knife.
I slit my left wrist first and I'm not going to lie, it hurt.
Bad.
But I did it two more times before I realized that this wasn't what I should do. I have my life to live. I'm not going to let Amber and Mick ruin it for me.
I look down at the floor and see my blood filling the floor. I scream.
Everything goes black. I hear people opening the door, I hear them crying! Why are they crying? I'm not dead! Just help me! Stop the blood from pouring out of me! Help!
Jerome's POV
Mara. My Mara. The Mara who's life was ruined because of Mick. I can't believe him.
I rush over to Mara's side. I just hold her lifeless body in my arms. A tear easily glides down my left cheek. I see Mick crying as well. What's he reading? I see him with nine papers. He passes them out. When he hands one to me, I quickly unfold it and read it. More tears fall. She is dead.
Mara is still in my lap, I'm just holding her. I can't give up. I pick her up and rush her downstairs. I place her on the couch and call for a cab. While I'm waiting for it to arrive, I run into my room and find a clean shirt. I run back to Mara and tightly, but not tight enough to cut her circulation off (That is if she has one), wrap the shirt around her wrists to stop the bleeding. About five minutes later, the cabbie shows up.
I run to the door with Mara over my shoulder and open it. I see the cab driver looking at us wide-eyed, but he ignores it.
"Where shall I tak-" He started.
"Hospital! Quick! She might be dead!" I interrupted. He gasps but listen to my orders. We finally arrive after about two minutes and I grab her and run to the ER. I yell back to the cab driver. "Wait here!" He nods.
When we get in the ER a nurse quickly whips her away from me and takes her away. I sulk back to the waiting area where another nurse approaches me.
"Excuse me, sir. May I ask what happened?" She asks. I nod and motion for her to sit down. She complies and looks at me questionably.
Mara's POV
Thank the good Lord for Jerome! I hear the doctors talking.
"Is she alive?" One doctor asks. She sounds like a girl.
"At the moment, yes." The main doctor answers. A man this time.
"At the moment, sir? Will she be alive later, then?" The female asks.
"Just be quiet and let me do my work! Yes, she will be alive. It's nothing major. Just a minor amount of blood loss. She won't even have to stay overnight." The male doctor answers, getting slightly annoyed.
I feel them touching my wounds, I want to scream out in pain but I can't pull myself to it. That is, until he touches the first cut I made.
A scream fills the room. I hear clapping. Are they proud of my pain?
"She's alive!" One nurse says who just entered the room.
"She's been alive, Cockrhen. We just pulled her out of her unconciousness." The main doctor answers.
Soon, I'm opening my eyes to look at my housemates.
Wasn't I just in a room filled with doctors?
Jerome's POV
"Well, look who's awake?" I ask Mara, jokingly with a huge grin on my face.
"Jerome, thank you for bringing me here. I know since the doctors said it was nothing major, that you guys probably hate me right now for scaring you guys like that. I'm truly sorry." Mara said. We all nodded in forgivness. Even though she's in her own hospital bed, she's worried about everyone else. Typical Mara.
"Guys, can I have a minute alone with Mara?" I hear someone ask. I turn around to see who it was. It was Fabian. Wait a minute, rewind, play.
Fabian.
A mixture of "Sure,", "Fine,", and "Whatevers," fill the room. I just walk out, not knowing what to do.
Mara's POV
Jerome was the last one to walk out. As soon as the door closes, he turns to me.
"Mara, how could you scare me like that? I was worried sick!" Fabian said, and then gave me the biggest hig us two have ever shared.
"Like I said, I'm sorry. I just couldn't believe that Mick chose Amber over me! And she is having his baby! What would you think if Nina was having, oh, I don't know, Alfie's baby? You would be pretty upset now, wouldn't you?"
He just looked at me, speechless. I could tell I've won until he finally spoke.
"We broke up." He said, and then he looked down. I could have sworn I saw a tear slide down his cheek.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to-" I started.
"Its alright. I'll find someone else." He looked up at me and smiled. I couldn't help but smile, too.
"Like who?" I asked in a slightly flirty way. I didn't mean for it to come out that way, but it just, did.
"I don't know. Someone smart, short, and Patricia's best friend." My smile faded.
"Joy? Oh, well, I'm sure she likes you. She'll say yes, I'm positive. And-" I started babbling until he cut me off.
"N- no! Mara, I kinda meant you..." Fabian cut me off. I could feel a blush rising on my face. I sat in my hospital bed, speechless. "You, you don't feel the same way, do you? I feel like such an idiot! ok, well, feel better Mara, at least you know how I feel about you." He said and started to walk off towards the door.
"No, Fabian, wait." I said causing him to turn around. "I do like you, I was just, I just didn't know what to say. Didn't you just break up with Nina? I don't really want to be a back up plan, ya know?" I said to him.
"Mara, you wouldn't be. I broke up with her because I liked you. A lot." He answered. I smiled again.
"Alright. How about we go into town when I get out of here?" I said. I could feel a blush sneaking up on my face, but I honestly could care less at the moment. Fabian looked like he was ready to jump for joy.
"Ok, sounds good! I can't wait! So, I'll see you tonight?" He questioned me.
"Yeah. Sounds good." I answered him with a grin. He smiled as well. He opened the door and let everyone in the room.
Nina's POV
Fabian and I had broken up this morning. He had feelings for Mara, I knew it even if he didn't. But, now I see that we made the right choice by splitting up because I see him and Mara, sharing glances. Glances we used to share.
But, I'm not upset. I shouldn't be. I have no reason. Me and Fabian weren't a true couple like we could have been. We weren't lovey, we were still best friends. I don't think we're loosing anything by just sticking to being best friends. I want him happy.
I know he'll be happy wiith Mara. I just know. They can have study dates. I mean, of course we could, too. But I'm not into science and math or anything like he is. I do good in school, but I'm no where like Mara. I don't like school, I'm just good at it. Mara and Fabian love it like I loved the Anubis mystery.
So, I'm not going to sulk and be super sad or mad at him. I'm going to be happy for him. Happy that he finally found someone perfect for him.
When Fabian opened the door to let everyone in he pulled me aside.
"Thank you, all I can say is, thank you." He said.
"If you're talking about Mara, it's no problem. You guys are obviously perfect for eachother." I answered.
"We're going out to town tonight. I'm thinking of taking her to a movie and dinner? Does that sound alright?" He asked me, slightly worried that it didn't sound fun.
"I would have loved it, and I'm sure she will, too. I know she will have fun doing anything as long as it's with you." I answered. We both smiled and went our seperate ways. I saw him go off with Mick and I went looking for Amber.
Amber's POV
I'm so happy Mara isn't mad at me and Mick. I was so worried that we had made her kill herself. I mean, we almost did, but I'm super happy she decided against it.
Mick and I are going to get the baby checked out later today. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. I'm pretty sure Mick is nervous, too. I wonder if everyone's mad at us? I mean, we're the reason we are in here right now. If Mick and I hadn't done what we'd done, we'd all be sitting in the common room chatting about useless things right now.
But, we did what we did and now here we are. In the hospital. With Mara in the hospital bed with cuts all over her wrists.
"Amber?" Nina asked, bringing me out of my thoughts.
"Oh, uh, yeah?" I answered, trying to become a little more aware of my surroundings.
"You just looked kinda, out there. I was just making sure you were ok." Nina said.
"Oh, yeah. I'm fine. Just a little nervous, that's all." I said, speaking the truth.
"Your appointment? Oh, Amber, You'll be alright. I'm sure of it. And the baby will be, too." Nina said comforting me.
"Thanks. We only have another fifteen minutes until we have to go and I'm worried sick." I said, worridly looking over at Mick who was talking to Fabian about something.
"No problem. I'm here for you all the way." She said. I smiled. "And, not to turn things to me, but did you hear about Fabian and me?"
"No, are you guys going on a date or something?" I asked. I'm not going to lie, it hurt a little whan she said that. I'm always the first to know the details about her and Fabian.
"He is." Nina answered. I was confused.
"He is? What does that mean?" I asked. She giggled.
"Me and Fabian broke up this morning. He's going out with Mara tonight." I was in shock.
"What? You broke up this morning and he's going out with another girl? And your giggling about it?" I literally screamed, but not loud enough for anyone to hear besides Nina and I.
"Shh! Amber! I came up with the idea! Be quiet!" She said, trying to shut me up.
"What? Why?" I asked her, slowly calming down.
"Because they are meant for each other, obviously. Geek heaven." She said. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Well, it's time for my appointment. Wish me luck." I said. She nodded and I went and found Mick. We started to walk to the obstetrician (pregnancy doctor). I couldn't help but think, God, I hope we'll get married someday and raise this baby right.
