I won't say I'm in Love
From the Movie Hercules…
YAY another onfic i finally posted this up yesterday i was studying like hell because i had to say a speech in front of the whole school for a contest...got in 3rd place! out of ten people.
I DONT OWN ANYTHING SADLY
Everyone is back from winter break…and Mara and Mick's relationship isn't going that well.
Mara POV
As I walk into Mick room everyone is there…am I missing something…Fabian was putting his arm around Nina…Nina was blushing…Amber was squealing…Mick was talking to her…while…Jerome and Alfie were throwing popcorn at each other…ughhh so immature! Patricia was sitting in the corner painting Joy's nails black…How come I didn't know everyone was here? I ask "What's going on…?"
Fabian looks at me and says "its movie night…Nina said every Friday at her house she and her gran watched classical movies…so we decided to do just that."
"Ummm….Ok…well what are we watching?" I ask
"HERCULES" Amber screams happily
I sit down next to Mick…Jerome gets up from Alfie's side and sits on the other side of me…Mick gives him a dirty look…and Jerome smirks…Am I missing something?
After a while Jerome yawns…he shyly puts his arm over my shoulders…I stare at him quizzically…ok this is pretty strange considering that Jerome isn't my boyfriend and Mick (my Boyfriend) is sitting right next to me…Mick's eyebrows furrow…he gets up and stands in front of Jerome…this isn't good…
"CLARKE! I SUGGEST YOU TAKE YOUR HAND OFF OF MARA NOW!" Mick yells
Nina and Fabian stare at us in annoyance "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" they whisper
Jerome smirks "What would you do if I don't!" he hisses
Mick turned red…not of embarrassment but in rage…he punches Jerome in the eye…
"OHHHH NO YOU DIDN'T!" Jerome yells as he slaps Mick across the face
"CLARKE! WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WAS THAT FOR!" Mick yells as he tackles Jerome to the floor
Alfie sits down in front of the two gets a bag of popcorn…and says "this is much better than the movie!"
Amber sits next to him she takes popcorn and screams excitedly "GOOOO MICK! KICK HIM! YEAA! THAT'S IT!"
What…no one cares that Jerome is going to get hurt! Poor Jerome! I hope he's okay! Wait! Since when do I care so much about Jerome? But no one seems to care that Mick is beating up Jerome! I have to stop this! Before anything really serious happens….to Jerome…..and Mick…mostly Jerome!
"You guys please stop this! Someone might get hurt!" I yell as I run towards the two
"MARA! DON'T YOU CARE THAT JEROME IS HITTING ON YOU!" Mick screams as he kicks Jerome in the stomach.
"Mick! Please stop…you're going to hurt Jerome!" I yell as I help Jerome up.
"NOW YOU'RE DEFENDING HIM! MARA LET ME HANDLE THIS" Mick grabs Jerome and hits him on the back…
Jerome collapses on the floor…ow that has to hurt!
"Mick! Please!" I say quietly. I can't stand to see Jerome like this. I mean…Jerome can be the biggest flirt ever…but he is so nice to me…except for the campaign incident but Robbie showed me Jerome actually voted for me! Well…Mick has to stop…I can't have a boyfriend who is this violent…I think I am going to give him one more chance…
Mick kicks Jerome in the ribs
Jerome lets out a painful scream
Then Mick kicks him in the face…blood…blood oozes out of Jerome's nose….
"MICK!" I yell furiously as I run towards Jerome to see if he's okay…Mick comes up to me
"Let me finish him off! MARA GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Mick yells
I stubbornly stay at Jerome's side…I can't see Jerome get hurt. Mick tries to get me out of the way…in the process he hit me in the stomach…I skid across the room…
"MICK HOW COULD YOU!" I cry out trying to get up…tears start running down my face…my boyfriend hit me!
"MARA! I am so sorry-"
"That's it! WE'RE OVER MICK! I HATE YOU!" I yell as I walk up to him I slap him across the face… Mick angrily walks out of the room…and I burst into tears! I just broke up with my boyfriend!
I carry the computer (the movie is still in it) and then run out of the room…into my bedroom…and jump into my bed and throw the covers over my head…I hate my life! This is the worst day ever…I am hurt…tired…and confused.
I take out the laptop and open it…
Jerome POV
All I could remember is I was fighting with Mick… and Mara was defending me…then blood…and Mara crying.
Okay…I know it's hard to believe but yea I fainted! Not because I was hurt…but because….umm…I hate blood. (A/N wow he's scared of blood…imagine if he was a vampire…it wouldn't work out!) Owww! What's going on…Fabian and Alfie were standing next to me…and I was lying down on Fabians bed.
"What happened?" I ask quietly
"YOU TRIED TO BEAT UP MICK BUT WOW HE LIKE BEAT YOU UP AND THEN THERE WAS DRAMA AND MICK AND MARA BROKE UP! FEISTY!" Alfie said.
"Not that loud!" I tell Alfie
"Where's Mara?" I ask
"Don't you want to know about the fight?" Alfie asked
"Where's Mara!" I ask sounding kind of desperately
"Jerome you need to rest." Fabian says worriedly
"PEOPLE, WHERE IS MARA?" I yell
"She is in her room but she locked it. Amber and Patricia and Nina and Joy are trying to get her out of her room. It's not working." Alfie says
I get up and run to Mara's room
Mara POV
I press play and the screen pops up….the following song got me thinking:
[Meg:]
If there's a prize for rotten judgment
I guess I've already won that
No man is worth the aggravation
that's ancient history, been there, done that!Yea I feel the same as Meg…confused…who do I like….I know I like someone…and it might not be Mick. Mick wasn't worth it…but are all guys not worth it
[Meg:]
No chance, no way
I won't say it, no, no
I press pause, No way! It can't be! It can't be! It's not Mick…but someone else. I hit the play button nervously.
[Muses:]
You swoon, you sigh
why deny it, uh-ohPause…Yea…um…I might have protected him but do I like him? Play
I thought my heart had learned its lesson
It feels so good when you start out
My head is screaming get a grip, girl
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out
Oh
(Pause) Oh my god! Meg is absolutely right! (Play)
[Muses:]
You keep on denying

[Muses:] Who'd' ya think you're kiddin'
He's the Earth and heaven to you
Try to keep it hidden
Honey, we can see right through you
Girl, ya can't conceal it
We know how ya feel and
Who you're thinking of
[Meg:]
It's too cliché
I won't say I'm in love
Do people think I like him…that's why Mick was mad…do I like this guy?Yea I believe Meg is right…I won't say I'm in love even if I am.
[Muses:]

(Shut Up, shut up)
I won't say it
I might be in love but I won't say it.
I turn of the computer…So I do like him…but it's just between me and me. Nobody can know!
I can't believe I like him…I mean he's Jerome…the guy who only cares about himself, who pulls pranks on everyone, who is the biggest flirt in the world. But I like him.
I sit in my bed and take out my favorite book "the Passage" I open it to the first page...I read this book about 10 times…but it always gets me… I start to read when I hear a knock on when door.
Ugh not again why don't they leave me alone "Leave me alone!" I yell
"Please, Mara, Let me in…I need to talk to you."
Oh God its Jerome! It's him….WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?
"Come in" I said in a muffled voice
Jerome opens the door
"Mara what's wrong?" he asks as he takes a seat next to me
"Nothing…nothing at all…" I say quietly
"Seriously Mara…I'm all ears…I want to know what happened back there."
"Nothing happened." I quickly reply…but of course that isn't true something happened back there…I couldn't see Jerome get hurt…I broke up with Mick…and I fell in love…but I won't say it…I won't say I'm in love.
"Mara I know something happened back there…and I know you know." He said as he reached for my hand shyly…
"Jerome…I couldn't stand see you getting hurt…and I broke up with Mick because he hurt me." I told him as I entangle my fingers with his...
"Mara, we both know that it's more than that." He whispers as he fiddles with a loose strand of my hair…
"There's nothing happening between us." I said sternly as I take my hair from his hand and tuck it behind my ear…I won't say I'm in love.
"Are you sure about that Mara." He asks with a hopeful look on his face
"I don't know." I say…I don't know anything…I don't know who I love…who I trust…who my friends are…who I am…I can't believe I'm saying this but Mick was my everything (emphasis on WAS) LIFE IS SOOOO COMPLICATED…
"Mara, are you sure…do you um…like me." Jerome says as he messes his perfect hair (he does that when he's nervous)
Oh My God! What do I say…I said before that I wouldn't say I'm in love…but I am…I'm in love with Jerome!
"I don't know Jerome…I don't know anything." I cry as I burry my head into his soft comfy warm shoulders. A tear trickles down my face it falls on Jerome's arm…and then I start to sob…I hate my life…it's too complicated.
"Mara…you are the smartest girl I know…You know everything…You are incredible Mara Jaffray!" Jerome says as he holds my face
"Thanks…you are a great friend Jerome…It means a lot to me…" I whisper into his ear…I guess we're better off as friends….
"Mara you don't understand…I want to be more than friends."
Jerome looks at me with his gorgeous blue eyes…they are hypnotizing…
"Jerome I…can't say I'm in love." I say
"Why?" he whispers…I am so close to him I can feel his heart beating…and I can feel his warm breath against my neck
"Because…I…I…I…love…you!" I stammer out…I guess I do love him…and unlike Meg…I did say I'm in love.
"I love you too…I've always loved you." Jerome says as he leans towards me slowly…I lean towards him and our lips crash together…our lips fit perfectly into each other's lips…our tongues danced in our mouths…I was kissing Jerome…the Jerome Clarke…and it felt good…sparks flew between us…and Jerome put his arms against my waist as he pulled us closer uniting is into one…It felt so good…fireworks exploded in my mind…my heart was racing…and my fingers were tangled in his perfect dirty blond hair…this was perfect…
We slowly broke apart…gasping for breath…the kiss was…it was…I can't explain but it was magical. "That was umm…umm…you have nice hair!" I say, wow that was embarrassing! Jerome chuckles… he grabs my hand and tangles his fingers in mine…he leans over and gives me a peck on the check…his lips graze my ear and he whispers "You make me fall in love, Mara Jaffray!"
I kiss him on the lips and say "I'm in love with you, Jerome Clarke!"
And he laughs…and we continue snogging.
Unlike Meg I said I was in love and things turned out for the best...I think I'm in love with Jerome Clarke!
REVIEWWWWW! thanks
