SO SORRY for not updating, I've been busy with school, auditions, singing, acting, clubs, homework, sports, and community service. And it's only been a week of school. -_- I know right?! Here We Go! And sorry Peddie fans, this chapter is soul-ly Jeroy!

Blame

Jerome slammed the door to his bedroom shut. It shook so loud he was sure the whole house had heard it, maybe even felt it. How could she do that to him?! Just when he thought things were getting better, just when he thought there was hope. But of course, no she'll just go break his heart again.

The rain pattered so heavily it sounded as if the glass could shatter, thunder shook the sky, and lightening rumbled. What a perfect way to describe his mood. And as much as he'd like to, he wasn't going to stay down here upset and filled with fury, he was going to set her straight.

He opened his door and stormed upstairs. He went into her room in rage, she was alone. Neither Amber or Patricia were there. "How could you?!" he spat. She just rolled her eyes.

"Now what is this about? What? Are you gonna call me a slut, a whore, a skank, a bimbo? Go ahead, there's plenty to choose from." He glared.

"You're all of those, aren't you. You've become that, Joy! You've become disgusting!" Joy's heart snapped.

"You listen Jerome!" she screeched. "You can't come in here and start screaming at me. You can't call me a whore or a slut or whatever! You have no rigth what-so-ever. You have no control in my life, and you have no spot in it anymore either, so why don't you take your pathetic self and your lies somewhere else?!"

"Why don't you stop breaking my heart?!" he screamed back at her. He was hurting, but he couldn't see that she was too.

"I never did anything Jerome! You hurt me! You left me for no reason, you ruined my life!"

"You did nothing?! Nothing?! You're the one who slept with that Jock, you're the one who went snogging with some dooche after we broke up. You're the one who's ruining us." that was the most hurtful of them all. He was blaming her. He was blaming her. He was blaming her for the lies he made, he was blaming her for the innocence she carried, he was blaming her for ruining them.

"Get out!" she yelled. "Get out!" there were tears falling down her face. From anger, frustration, stress? No. She could feel it, this was heartbreak.

"Why should I Joy?"

"It's my room! It's my life! You've done enough, can't you see? You won Jerome! You won this stupid game, you dragged me along, you broke my heart, you made me cry!" she exclaimed, letting her tears fall rapidly as the pain in her chest grew and the hurt and frustration became even clearer in his eyes. "I was just another one of your games, wasn't I?" she whispered, refusing to look at him.

"You were never a game Joy, I was always true to you, but I can't say the same for you." and then he was gone.

Joy took deep breaths, beginning to hyperventalate. She was breaking, again. Her eyes were so blurry with tears she couldn't see straight, she tripped and fell onto her bed. She layed against her pillow and sobbed.

How dare he?! How frickin' dare he?! She was the one breaking the hearts? She was the one hurting him? She was the unfaithful one?

Joy couldn't think, Joy couldn't breathe. She laid back and let herself curse the world. She'd never done anything wrong to him, why couldn't he see that? He broke her heart, he was the one to blame. Joy breathed deeply, trying to catch some air. She clenched her eyes shut and screamed.

Maybe she was the one to blame.
