Jara vs Jertricia - Chapter 3: Jeromes Choice
3 months later...
Jeromes POV
I have been dating Mara for 3 months, now but its not great as I thought it was going to be... I haven't pulled a prank in 2 months and I have been getting A's all the time now! Alfie is now spending most of his time with Nathan now and Mick. Mick has got together with Patricia. Mara got really upset so did I. I sometimes wonder what if..I got together with Patricia? Then I remember I have Mara the girl I have been in love with all the time. Amber doesn't really talk with Mara anymore. Neither does Joy. Only Fabian and Nina really talk to us. Its been really awkward in the house...
Then Amber burst through the door...
There is going to be a masquerade ball on Friday! Amber squealed her loudest...
" Really?" Patricia asked
" Yeah, but you have to go with someone who isn't your boyfriend or girlfriend..." Amber signed. You have to pick out of a hat..." Thats really weird!" Amber said
" Ok I'll make the hat.." Joy said
Joy ripped up some paper, put names in Nathans beanie. Fabian was up first...
" Amber" Fabian said, Nina looked thankful.
" Joy" Alfie said. Nathan and Amber looked thankful
" Nina!" Nathan said, Fabian looked sad
" Don't take my girlfriend away Nathan!" Fabian laughed
Nathan said "Haha, my heart belongs to Joy!"
" Mara!" Mick said I must have looked angry because Mara tried to calm me down while everyone was laughing!
Patricia knew she ended up with me, she sulked she hates me now since our private conversation out on the field.
" Don't even talk to me Clarke!" Patricia barked
Nathan, Alfie, Fabian, Nina, Joy and Amber were rolling on the floor laughing. This is probably the happiest I have seen them in 3 months.
I glared at them all. Why did I have to get Patricia? This wasn't fair...
Patricias POV
Of all these people, I had to get Jerome Heartbreak Clarke. And Mick had to get Mara Cheat Slutty Jaffray. Things were going okay with Mick there was no spark but we just settled for each other since we both didn't want to be alone. I guess. I think Mick is more like a brother to me than a boyfriend. I told this to Mick and he agreed. He has't gotten over Mara. Great two guys that prefer Mara to me? Does nobody know how I feel? Joy, Amber and Nina know everything. They say I should just break up with Mick and find someone who doesn't go to this school. Maybe they're right?
" Hi Mick," I said
" Hey Trixie" Mick said and he gave me a hi-five.
" Do you think we should break up?" I asked
" Yeah, too be honest I agree your more like a sister than a girlfriend but if its for Jerome. You have no chance their.." Mick said
" No its not for Jerome, I think I might meet some new people.." I said
" Ok cool, do you want to watch me at the race Sunday?" Mick asked
" Yeah I am free!" I said " This was totally easy!"
" Yeah it was!" Mick laughed
I told Amber, Nina and Joy. I broke up with Mick. They immediately gave me a makeover and we set off to have a night out in the town. Afterall it was Friday. Alfie, Fabian and Nathan came along to. We went to the teen club 24. Before it would close down and have makeover. (People who read House of Makeups and Breakups know this club or if they forgot think chapter 2 house of m&b)
Amber, Nina, Joy and me were having a great laugh. Then a slow dance came on. So Fabian got with Nina, they looked so cute. Fabian is just so geeky and Nina is to! Aww but sometimes they make me want to hurl or make my heart melt. Same with Amfie! But Joy and Nathan just make me laugh...they're awesome together. I just stood alone. Then I had a tap on the back - it was Landon from House of Isis. We used to do the school newspaper together until Joy disappeared. So I quit because it made me upset cos Joy and me did that together!
" Hey Tricia! Long time no see!" Landon laughed
" Same hows the paper?" I asked
" Its going great!" Landon said " You and Joy should come back!"
" Ok!"
The dance had finished: Amber and Alfie came off the dance floor, so did Nina and Fabian. Nathan and Joy came off last. Nathan and Joy laughing at Nathans bruised feet...
" Hey Landon!" Joy said
" Long time no see!" Alfie, Amber and Fabian said
" Nina and Nathan this is Landon, me & Joy used to do the paper with him!" I said
" Why don't you come back to house with us?" I asked Landon
" Yes.." Landon said
Amber gave me a little wink, I laughed at Amber and she seemed annoyed. We walked back to House of Anubis. I forgot how Landon made me and Joy laugh because he made everyone laugh really hard. I could tell he was trying to flirt with me . I laughed at him and gave him a wink. He made me forget about Jerome and I like him for that..
Nina elbowed me " You two will be cute!"
" Yeah he is a genius at pranks!" Alfie said
We all sat down in the living room, Landon told us a funny story about when he went to Spain and how he got chilli in his eyes. Everyone laughed at really that we didn't notice Jerome come into the room...
" Hey Jerome!" Landon tried to give him a high-five but he didn't return it, so Landon put his hand away!
" Jerome!" Alfie said
" What a party pooper," Nathan whispered to me
" What do you want Clarke!" I dryly said
" Nothing!" Jerome said then he was on his way
" Geez, whats up with Jerome? Thats not the Jerome I remember. He seems so boring!" Landon said
" Ever since he dated Mara hes been like that!" Nina said
" Oh Mara? How is she?" Landon asked
" We don't really speak!" Alfie said
" Well look at the time, I better be on my way...lights out at eleven for us!" Landon said " Its quarter to ten now you guys are at ten!" He said
" Bye Landon!" Everyone chorused
" Hey Tricia would you like to go out with me on Wednesday?" Landon asked
" Yeah of course!" I said
Once the door was shut...Alfie started teasing
"Oooh Tricia! Tricia!" Alfie said " I thought you hated the name Tricia, Trica?"
I just laughed at him!
Jeromes POV
My life is starting to seriously stink at the moment. Mara and Mick are spending so much time together that I am starting to get a bit jealous...My best friend has gone off with another gang. Patricia is now dating my worst enemy!
Flashback:
" I am leaving you Jerome " Julie said
" Why?" tears started to fall...
" Because I have met the love of my life - Landon!" Julie went up to Landon and kissed him.
Later in the day...
" Hey whats wrong!" Patricia said
" Julie has went off with someone else!" I said
" Who with?" Patricia asked giving me a hug
" I would rather not say!"
I thought Landon and Julie were still together but she left for India last year, I heard off her that they were having a long distance relationship!
That Landon makes me feel sick, he is bad news. I should know he took my first girlfriend off me. In Middle School. I hate that guy! Now he is probably messing with Trixie? Should I warn her? Should I? Anyways calling her Tricia, everyone knew she hated that name! What was wrong with her? Maybe I should tell her about Julie. But probably she won't believe me...Who should I tell who still talks to me? Nathan no...Joy no...Amber no...! Nina! She always looks at the good inside anyone...
I decided to catch her..
" Nina!" I called
" Yes?" She answered
" I wouldn't trust that Landon guy, if I were you. Would you warn Patricia for me?" I asked
" Why?" Nina asked
I told her the full story...
"Now will you tell her?" I asked
" I am not sure if I believe you but yeah of course..." Nina said
The next day...
Ninas POV
" Well thats the whole story and Jerome seemed to be telling the truth..." I said
" But he might be jealous?" Amber pointed out
That was the doubt I had because he tried to break Patricia and Mick up so did Mara. Thats when we all started to loathe them..
" I don't know.." Joy looked doubtful
" Lets just see how he plans out?" Patricia said
I just hope its not to late...for Trixie...
This whole thing confuddled me!
Wednesday...
Maras POV
" Hi Mick!" I shouted in the hallway " Do you still need help with your French?"
" Yes can you come in my room?" Mick asked
" Bonjour Mick.." I said stepping into the room..
I helped him with his: French, Algebra, Geometry, English, Mathematics, Physics, R.E, Sports theory, Biology and Chemistry. By the time we were finished it was getting boring!
" I have gotta go! Mick, I have a date with Jerome for 10 minutes..." I said
" Please stay I need help with my...my..." Mick said
" Yes" I said
"my...Sports practical!" Mick said
" Mick you could pass that now!" I signed
" I know but I need someone to run with, since someone got rid of my running partner!" Mick raised his eyebrows at me
" Fine!" I said while texting Jerome our date was cancelled cos I had something to take care of...
We ran all around town, it was boiling hot. It was a lovely day the sky was blue as Micks eyes...what! No shut up Mara...I am in love with Jerome!
" Heres your favourite ice cream Strawberry with Chocolate sprinkles and white buttons!" Mick said
" Aww thank you Mick!" I giggled...
We both licked our ice creams in silence, next to the river! It was nice & peaceful. Then Mick kissed me...I gave in...But then someone saw us it was...Jerome!
" Hey!" Jerome called out " How long has this gone on for?"
" Jerome..." I said, I wanted to say it was a mistake but I couldn't
" Mara we are through, I sacrificed a lot for you!" Jerome said " But you throw back it my face, Alfie and my REAL friends don't talk to me anymore. I blew off Patricia! I had to change because of you!" Jerome shouted
" Thats the thing, Jerome you shouldn't had to sacrifice anything for me. Maybe I was stupid as well, thinking this could work when I was still in love with Mick!" I sighed
" Yes maybe both of us were!" Jerome looked sad " But I still love you Mara.." Jerome felt a tear.
I put my hand on his face..." I still love you two, maybe you need to mature a bit before I could date you!"
Jerome silently walked off...
" Can we pick things up from where we left off..." Mick asked me!
" Yes! Of course!" I blushed and Mick kissed me on the cheek..
Jeromes POV
(Before the incident...)
I went to sit in the cafe, waiting for Mara to come...Then Patricia & Landon came into the cafe! Patricia started to laugh at some of his jokes. And they were flirting with each other like crazy. So I decided to have some fun afterall I was 15 min early for mine and Maras date!
" Hey Landon? How is it going!" I asked
" Fine Jerome.." He said a bit confused
" Hows Julie?" I asked..
Landon started to look a bit like he was going to be sick..
" Whos she?" Landon asked
" Jeromes first girlfriend! Jerome what you on about Landon doesn't know Julie!" Patricia said
If only she knew about the reply off a email I sent Julie...
Hey Jerome!
Nice to talk to you again! Yeah me and Landon are fine! I am actually coming down for the weekend to the masquerade ball. Its a suprise, I have got something to ask him at the masquerade ball since we are both 16 and its 29th Febauary and a leap year! I am going to ask him to marry me! I am so excited!
Julie x
" Oh well? Must be someone else dating Julie..." I said
" Anyways I have had a brainwave why don't you take Landon to the masquerade ball?" I said
" Yeah thats a good idea" Patricia said
" I don't know if I am going.." Landon said
" Oooh I sense a stand up..." I sneered
" I will be there!" Landon said
Then my phone buzzed and I got a text off Mara..
The Night of the Dance...
Patricias POV
I put on my blace laced victorian prom dress and some black diamante heels. With a black feathered mask. Joy put on a red ruby prom dress which had sequins on at the bottom. Mara had a purple number on. Nina looked amazing in a sky blue dress with white flowers on! Amber had the biggest dress I ever seen on! It was pink but it totally suited Mara! We just decided to ignore the rule of not going with your boyfriend or girlfiend!The boys were waiting at the bottom of the staircase. Alfie tried to swift Amber off her feet :) but he failed so he looked like a pink fluffy mess :) while everyone laughed at them. Fabian did sweep Nina off her feet and everyone was like awww... :D Them two looked amazing!
Landon linked arms with me, and we walked to the school hall which looked like an amazing ball room! Joy and Nathan were behind us and Nathan was rapping for Joy :) them two are perfect for each other! Mara and Mick were huddled up together, looking cute! I noticed Jerome walking alone...I felt a bit guilty. Then me and Landon were chatting so I felt a bit better!
" So Tricia you look amazing tonight?" Landon said
" Thanks Landon!" I said " Will you call me Trixie though?"
" No I like Tricia..." Landon sighed..
We started dancing. He twirled me around the room and I felt great...
" Do you want to be my girlfriend Tricia?" He asked
" Yeah I would like that very much!" I smiled
We danced a bit more then I got an unexpected suprise!
" Landon! Come here baby!" It was Julie...Jerome was right!
" Julie, what you doing here?" Landon looked like he was going to die!
" Landon I have something to ask you...
we are both sixteen now! And its a leap year but will you marry me?" Julie smiled
" What I thought you were boyfriend!" I screamed at him
I threw a vase of flowers at him! Joy tried to restrain me, Nina, Mara and Amber tried to calm me down. Nathan, Alfie, Fabian and Mick was restraining someone...Jerome! Who was punching him...
I ran out the room!
Jeromes POV
" You sick phyco! How could you hurt Trixie?" I lunged at him
Mick, Fabian, Alfie and Nathan had to restrain me! I was that angry but then Landon said something so cruel even Nina was beating his bastard ass.
" Its not my problem Patricia is so easy..." Landon smirked
" What did you call our friend?" Nina, Amber and Joy asked
" You heard me!" Landon smirked
" COME HERE YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Nina lunged at him and punched him. He punched Nina so Fabian was kicking his ass!
" You don't hurt my girlfriend!" Fabian said and he punched his jaw, Nathan, Alfie and Mick joined in. While some of Landons friends were getting riled up and Joy fell to the floor so Nathan put his kung - fu in.
I went looking for Patricia...
I started singing the song she sang about me...
If you're standing with your suitcase
But you can't step on the train
Everything's the way that you left it
I still haven't slept yet
And if you're covering your face now
But you just can't hide the pain
Still setting two plates on the counter but eating without you
If the truth is you're a liar
Then just say that you're okay
I'm sleeping on your side of the bed
Goin' out of my head now
And if you're out there tryna move on
But something pulls you back again
I'm sitting here tryna persuade you like you're in the same room
And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
And I wish you could still give me a hard time
And I wish I could still wish it was over
But even if wishing is a waste of time
Even if I never cross your mind
I'll leave the door on the latch
If you ever come back, if you ever come back
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back
There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
And it will be just like you were never gone
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back if you ever come back now
Oh if you ever come back if you ever come back
Now they say I'm wasting my time
'Cause you're never comin' home
But they used to say the world was flat
But how wrong was that now?
And by leavin' my door open
I'm milkin' everything I own
There's nothing I can lose in a break-in that you haven't taken
And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
And I wish you can still give me a hard time
And I wish I could still wish it was over
But even if wishing is a waste of time
Even if I never cross your mind
I'll leave the door on the latch
If you ever come back, if you ever come back
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back
There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
And it will be just like you were never gone
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
Oh, if you ever come back, if you ever come back
If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
I know you're out there somewhere so just remember this
If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
Oh just remember this, oh just remember this
I'll leave the door on the latch
Patricia If you ever come back, if you ever come back
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
PatriciaIf you ever come back
There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
And it will be just like you were never gone
Patricia There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
Oh, if you ever come back, if you ever come back
And it will be just like you were never gone
And it will be just like you were never gone
And it will be just like you were never gone
If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
" Haha!" Patricia laughed at me...
Then I sang her another song...
She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart
While i'm drinking jack all alone in my local bar
And we don't know how we got into this mad situation
Only doing things out of frustration
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
She needs me now but I can't seem to find a time
I've git a new job now in the umemploymentline
And we don't know we got into this mess it's a gods test
Someone hulp us cause we're doing our best
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
But we're gunna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night
Saying things we haven't for a while, a while yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're needing
For the first time
She's in line at the door with her head held high
While I just lost my job but didn't lose my flight
But we both know how we're gonna make it work when it hurts
When you pick yourself up you get kicked in the dirt
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
But we're gunna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Saying things we haven't for a while, a while yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're needing
For the first time
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Saying things we haven't for a while, a while yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're needing
For the first time
For the first time
Oh, for the first time
Yeah, for the first time
Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
Then Patricia kissed me on the cheek while I sat and grinned like an idiot! Then we went back to the ball room where Nina was nursing Fabian whos leg was pouring with blood. I was pretty sure Alfie was faking because he winked at me. Because Amber kept treating him like a wounded soldier... Mara was clapping at Mick because he probably beat up atleast 5 of Landons friends. Nathan was laughing at Joy trying to nurse him, he just said he was fine. While Landon and his friends looked beaten to the pulp!
" We are through Landon!" Julie said throwing the ring box at him
Patricia and Me laughed...it was the beginning of Jertricia :D
Frankie: If Jara lovers hate this chapter they can have their ending at chapter 2 :D Simples...Every song in this fanfic was by the Script
Joy: Pay up Alfie!
Alfie: fine
Mara and Mick: Haha!
Nathan: What you spending the money on?
Joy: A girls night out!
Amber: Yay!
Nina: How is your leg Alfie
Alfie: still hurts Amber..
(Fabian chucks a cushion at him)
Nina: Haha
