Hi people! Okay first off to Mia: I do read EVERY review I get. I love yours, especially the funny ones. The reason I don't mention you as much anymore is because now there are LOTS of people who review every chapter not just Curious. Panther .87 and you. So I have to probably thank all of them. This chapter is dedicated to Early-Birdie-Girlie and Mia. They both review every chapter so I thought it was time to thank them. Oh, I'm still sick by the way. I can't beat this stupid virus! It's been going around my school so all my friends say it's like a ghost town there. Anyways onto the disclaimer:
DISCLAIMER: Alfie wants to do the disclaimer today.
Alfie: Okay, so Love owns nothing but her ideas and plotlines. Oh and Taylor & Jeff.
Love: Oh yeah! I forgot about them! Well I'm not selling them, sorry :)
Alfie: Did I do a good job?
Love: Eh…
Alfie: Hey!
Eventually Mara, Patricia and Amber were able to get me out of bed. It took awhile though. Patricia literally dragged me into the shower and turned it on while I was fully clothed.
After that they dragged (still literally) me (kicking and screaming) to Amber's vanity, where she attacked me with makeup.
I must admit though, when they were done with me you would never think I had been crying all day yesterday (and this morning).
"Come on, Nina! You can do this!" Mara said, while they practically pushed me down the stairs.
I went downstairs slowly, hoping I wouldn't run into anyone. I had gone down here to talk to Fabian but I was praying he was busy or locked up in his room.
No such luck. I entered the living room and there he was, reading a book. Mick was in the middle of the living room, kicking a soccer ball (Or football in England). Jerome and Alfie were sitting on a leather couch with a bucket of water balloons next to them.
At least he isn't alone. This way I had a reason not to talk to him.
I decided to go talk to Alfie and Jerome. They were whispering quickly back and forth, while looking at the red notebook.
"Hey, guys. What prank are you pulling this time?" I asked casually. They looked up at me and beamed.
"It's not a prank. There are these girls that run by everyday with shirts on over their bikinis. If we throw these balloons at them, they'll have to just wear their bikinis." Alfie grinned and started rubbing his hands together.
"You guys. We're staying at a beach. There are girls in bikinis everywhere! Why focus on these girls?" Mick asked, intruding our conversation.
"Two words: They're hot." Jerome said and Alfie high fived him.
"Guys you do realize you have girlfriends, right?" I asked, giving them a disgusted look. They can be such pigs.
"So? We can still look at girls!" Alfie said. With that he grabbed the bucket and left the room with Jerome.
"Wait until I tell Amber this." I muttered to myself. Mick laughed and continued playing with his soccer ball. I'm glad he didn't leave the room. Then I would have to talk to Fabian.
"Tell me what?" I heard a voice from the top of the stairs. Crap. I heard Mara and Patricia hissing "Amber, shut up!" It's nice to know they're eavesdropping.
Fabian looked up confused, stared at the stairs for a few seconds and then went back to his book.
Mick gave me a knowing glance and then said he had to go to the bathroom.
I widened my eyes and shook my head. Please, please, please, don't leave me alone with him!
He just chuckled and left the room.
And then there were two.
"Fabian, I-" I tried to talk to him but he held up his hand.
"Please, Nina. Just don't." He whispered, closing his book and leaving the room.
"Wait!" I chased after him. He ignored me as he ran upstairs, to his room.
"Nina, save it. I don't want to talk to you." He said before entering his room and slamming the door behind him.
"Can you please just listen to me?" I shouted through the door. I waited a few seconds for a response. "Hello?"
I heard some music come blasting on, something by Aerosmith. I figured he was trying to block me out.
"Fine!" I kicked the wall in frustration, and stormed off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Scene Change)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had gone for a walk by the beach to think, clear my mind of all the drama. I wished there was some easy way for Fabian to see that I really didn't cheat.
I moved a little closer to the water, letting it nip at my toes. I took in the salty air and closed my eyes, listening to the sea.
I was at peace with nature. When the tide pulled back, it brought my thoughts with it. I was almost completely relaxed when-
"NINA!" I heard a voice call from behind me. I jumped a little, opened my eyes and whipped around to see Mara running towards me.
"I tried Mara, I really did. He wouldn't talk to me." I told her as she met up with me out of breath.
"Not important right now. I just can't believe Jerome did that to you!" She panted, and I noticed a few tears running down her cheeks.
"Mara, what are you talking about? Jerome didn't do anything-" I started and she interrupted me.
"Logan is Jerome's cousin."
"WHAT?" I asked, shocked. That's just weird. "But, wait that still doesn't explain what he did."
"Logan is studying to become an actor. Jerome paid him to pretend to be an American, steal your heart and get you to cheat on Fabian. However, when you called him a jerk he knew you wouldn't cheat on Fabian. So he pretended to be drunk and made it look like you cheated." She whispered, and a few more tears slid down her cheek. "I can't believe he would destroy your relationship for revenge. I-I don't know if I should break up with him or-"
"He did this?" I whispered and I was brought close to tears-but from anger this time. He wanted revenge so bad that he would ruin my relationship with Fabian. My one thought was that I was going to get him back.
Mara just nodded.
"I hate him." I whispered.
"I'm sorry he did this, Nina! I-I thought he was better than that or at least-" Mara was babbling and I needed information.
"Who told you about this?" I asked, angry.
"Well Jerome told Alfie who told Amber, who told me." She said, looking a little afraid of what I was going to do.
"Do you know where they are?" I asked.
"Last I saw they were on the roof. What are you going-" She started to ask me but I ran away.
They are SO dead.
Sorry that was so short guys! But I gave you a shocker so that makes up for it right? And don't hate on Jerome—he just is too extreme. I bet you didn't see that one coming, right? MUWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
~Love
