Patricia's POV:

I woke up and I remember my head hurting like hell. I remember a man walking towards me with something in his hand. My clothes are covered in mud. I'm still in the woods. I looked around to see if that crazy ma was there but he was gone. I tried to get up but my ankle hurts.

"Help "I screamed hopping that someone would hear me. I heard a twig snap from behind me. "Whose there "I asked nervously. Nobody replied…I could hear the sound of leaves crushing beneath someone feet. "I said whose there!" No reply I could get up and run but I can't.

I turned around…Stood there was the man dressed in black. He took a few steps forward getting closer but then I heard someone shouting my name. "TRIXIE WHERE ARE YOU "The man sprinted away like he was afraid of Jerome?

"JEROME "I screamed so he could hear me. He came out from between a group of trees. "There you are "He said happily. "Why did you run away?". " I don't know ". "Let's go Trixie "He demanded.

"Jerome I can't "I didn't want to tell him why. " Why "Jerome wondered. "Because I hurt my ankle "I whispered so he couldn't hear me. "I didn't quite catch that "Jerome said with a smile smacked on his face.

"I said I hurt my ankle…Now help me up and wipe that smug grin of your face "I demanded. He quickly helped me up "Get on my back "He gestured. "No way am I getting on your back ". "Why not what did I ever do to you "He asked. "Seriously Jerome I've got a whole list of them. We both laughed together. He then picked me up bridal style. "Jerome? "I asked. "What "He wondered. "Thank you "I don't know why but I gave him a little kiss on the cheek. I saw a blush come across his face I was going to tease him about it but I thought that it would kill the moment.

We got back to the house and everyone was back and hanging out in the lounge. Jerome walked over and put me down on the couch. "What happened Patricia? " Nina asked. "Nothing I just fell "I hesitated a little bit.

I then heard Amber's annoying squeal just as Jerome came and sat by me. "Amber what? "I was close to walking over there and giving her a smack because she the last person on earth that I want to deal with right now but of course I can't because of my ankle.

"Jerome is your Knight in Shining Armour "Amber squealed. At the same time me and Jerome burst out laughing. When we finally stopped we saw that everyone had a serious look on their faces. "I'm serious "Amber said. "Well I'm off to go get ready for bed "I went to stand up but I fell because of my ankle but luckily Jerome caught me. I turned to see Mara, Nina, Joy and Amber with a grin on their face.

"Thanks Jerome "I leaned up against him for support. "Do you need me to carry you up the stairs "He asked. " Yes please "I sort of jumped into his arms and we headed up the stairs I know it was kind of a bad idea to say yes but I really needed the help so I really couldn't care what the others think.

When we got into my room he put me down on my bed. "You just need to rest your ankle and then it will be better in no time "Jerome said. "Thanks for the advice. "But until it gets better I will help you get around. I pulled him in and gave him a hug. He felt so warm I wanted to stay like this forever but I pulled away and we said are goodbye's and he left.

Jerome's POV:

I thought I was meant to be forgetting any feelings I had for her. That didn't turn out well. I think I'm falling for her when I shouldn't be. God I need help. Anyway there's one thing that has been bothering me about her is that Why was she in the woods? I remember hearing a scream when I was near the wood that's why I went to look I then heard Patricia's voice screaming for help. When I found her in the little opening she looked shaken…She was really pale. What the hell happened to her that's what I want to know?
