"Mara?"

Oh,no.

She heard quick foot steps running down the hall, why he was running she wasn't sure of. Knowing Jerome for as long as she had watching him move every moment.

Jerome usually walked as slowly as possible, taking his time and it had donned on Mara along time ago he must have nothing to be quick for.

"Mara ?" he said again. But his voice was weird. Different.

It was Jerome's voice she knew that without a seconds though but it didn't sound like Jerome.

His voice was strained, it was heartbreaking. It made Mara want to comfort him, sooth him. He sound tearful, like he was about to cry and breakdown.

She felt him crouch down on her right side, she felt his warm breath on her face and the smell of chocolate and the heat that warmed her that came from him.

It was so weird that just the though of him calmed her down made the pain in her heart go away.

And she owed so much to him. She felt like she didn't deserve him niceness his kindness.

She felt so awkward since last night. Falling asleep on his chest, him carrying her to her bed which had been confirmed my Patricia when she had asked her that morning.

But she felt like she needed him. He calmed her down. Made her feel safe, like someone really cared how she felt and about her.

But these feelings surprised her so much. As did his actions.

Because this was Jerome. Jerome who always picked a new person a day to prank and a girl to chase after every week.

Even thought over the last three months Jerome didn't seem do go after girls any more or as fare as she could see.

But maybe he was changing. This was a Jerome she had never seen before, but it was definitely a Jerome she liked.

She liked it a lot.

"Mara?" he breathed again stroking her hair with the tips of his fingers.

She shivered at his touch. She loved it.

"What?" she whimpered she hadn't noticed she had been crying.

"Look at me." Jerome said. His voice soft.

She did what she asked and looked into his beautiful blue eyes that were shining.

"Are you okay?" he asked sitting next to her on the floor, she moved closer to him curling up to his side. He wrapped a arm around her arms slowly.

She bit her lip, trying to stop the tears that came harder down her cheeks. She didn't know what to say at all. In a way she wasn't and in a way she was. She was so confused.

"No." she said.

She looked at her for a moment into her eyes.

They just stayed like that staring into each others eyes.

Blue and Brown.

Soft, loving deep Blue. Warm, heartbroken, dark Brown.

Then he sighed looking away. Then got up slowly so she wouldn't get knocked over by accident.

He offered her his hand she took it with out hesitation.

He didn't let go off her hand as he walked down the hall and she followed confused because they were walking to the door to leave.

"Jerome were are we going?" she asked him softly.

He didn't look back as he answered.

"Were going back to Anubis?"he said.

Mara was so surprised she almost fell, thankfully Jerome kept her steady.

"What? Why?" she asked.

He stopped a couple of feet out of the door, and he looked back at her as though it was obvious and he looked like the old Jerome again and it almost made her smile.

"Because we're not going to school. I think you need a day off and I'm going to keep you company."

With that he smiled at her happily and she let him guide her back to the house with her own smile on her face.

She was exited in a weird way and peaceful.

Seven hours alone with Jerome in the house with Jerome. Alone. By themselves. With no one to bother them.

This was going to be interesting.

Hey Sweets,

I'm really exited to be writing this story. I think Jerome and Mara are perfect together. So I was thinking this might be about 5 or 6 chapters it depends on my imagination which I'm warning you know is really crazy. Someone asked me why Jerome smelled like chocolate well you'll found out why in the next chapter. Chapter 3 will be up by tomorrow hopefully.

PLEASE REVIEW!

Love, Sarah
