Jerome's POV
Who could have told? It was obviously whoever was at the door.
Mara and I are going through the notes she was crying. Then she asked," how could people be so cruel? They make it sound like they want you to kill your self!"
"Probably because they do. For years I've been a jerk. I'm a cheater, a liar, a schemer. I deserve to die!"
"No you don't Jerome! They don't know you like I do. They judge you by what you've done. I see you for who you are, a sweet, sensitive, smart, hurt, guy who you don't see unless you take time to get to know him. And he's so insecure that he believes the same thing as everyone els because he's been building up his walls for so long he's forgotten who he is! That's who you are Jerome!"
" So your saying I'm weak?"
"No, I'm saying your much more than you give yourself credit for!"
"I'm gonna go for a walk alone. I need to think."
"Okay, see you later."
Mara's POV
"I decided to talk to everyone in the main room. I have to know who hurt Jerome.
" Which on of you idiots played the tape over the intercom?" I could tell they were shocked by my use of the word 'idiots', but I was furious.
Joy stood up " I did," she said proudly.
"So you were the one who was listening at Jerome's door?"
No that was my partner, I saw Jerome crying during the presentation so after school I had them follow you and record you."
" What do you have against Jerry?" Eddie asked. Everyone looked at him like he was crazy, "He doesn't deserve this!"
I smiled. Its good to know somebody is on your side.
