A/N: 1. So . . . . sorry for the long wait. My laptop broke and everything I wrote was in it. So I used my dad's laptop but didn't post because it was too slow. So I waited for Christmas, already knowing I was getting a laptop. And now I have mine.

2. This is based off the song by P!nk. The song is originally about losing a child, but can be interrupted to losing the love of your life. (Yes, this is a break up chapter . . . with mystery!)

3. Now, here is my newest chapter!


Chapter Twelve – Be"A"m Me Up


Mara Jaffray hated today. Not only did she get her first "A" message, she got one involving her boyfriend, Jerome. It read:

Hey, I know you wanna know Jerome's secret right now. Oh, you didn't know he had one? Oops.

-A

Mara closed her eyes and gulped. She wanted to reply, she really did. But her phone won't let her reply to Blocked-IDs. Mara shook her head, and went straight downstars, where Jerome Clarke was at.


Jerome was worried about "A". What happens if Mara found out about Nina and him? She'd flip out and they will be over. No more "Jara". But what if he told? The weight would be lifted off his shoulder. But what about Mara? How would she take it? So much questions, no way out.

He knew what he had to do.

Jerome walked to his door, and was about to walk out when the door opened. Mara walked in and pushed him on his bed. She was angry.

"What's this secret then?" she asked.

"What? What are talking about?" he replied.

"This!"

Mara threw him the phone. He unlocked it, and saw the message. Jerome looked up, tears in his eyes, his heart racing.

"You're going to hate me if I told you," Jerome said.

"Then I'm going to hate you," Mara said.

"Mara?!"

"Explain!"

Jerome sighed, and said, "It happened the time Alison came to visit us. She broke us up, and broke up Fabian and Nina. We were alone. . . . Nina and I kissed. . . ."

Mara's eyes widened. She looked away, with tears in her eyes, and crossed her arms. Mara said, "You kissed Nina?" Jerome nodded.

Mara stormed out of the room, and walked up to Nina's room. She slammed the door open and realized no one was there.


Amber and Nina awoke from the fire blast, the cellar still ablaze. Nina looked at the fire, and got up. Amber was still a little bit groggy. Nina's phone buzzed. It was from a Blocked-ID. It read:

You can never get away from me. No matter how hard you try.

-A

Nina looked to Amber, who was struggling to get up. Nina kneeled down and helped her up. Amber put her arm over Nina's shoulder and they walked out together. They exited by the Ground Floor living room.

"Help!" Nina screamed. Trudy came running down the stairs, and saw Amber on the chair and Nina crying.

"Oh, my God, what happened?!" Trudy screamed.

"I went down to the cellar, and it was on fire. Amber came down and saved me!" Nina screamed. "I don't know exactly what happened, though. . . . Can you help her?!"

"I think she's dehydrated. I need to call an ambulance," Trudy said, grabbing the phone from the table.

Nina bit her nails as the phone rang.

". . . . Yes, I need an ambulance right away."
