Chapter 13!

Here ya go! I don't own HOA or the characters. THIS CHAPTER IS LIKE SUPERRR LONG!

FABIAN'S POV:

I couldn't hear anything coming from Nina's room. I knocked softly and walked in. Nina was curled up in a ball facing the wall. "Nina?"

She turned to look at me, her eyes red and watery.

"Oh Nina I'm so sorry. Amber just explained everything. I should have let you explain."

"Its ok Fabian. You have Joy now. "

"I don't want Joy, Nina. I never wanted Joy. All I want is you"

"Then why are you dating her"

"I'm not Nina. We really aren't. I don't know what I was doing. I guess I thought that being with her would help me forget you".

"Why would you think I like Brad?"

"I don't know. The messages just seemed so convincing"

"Fabian I want you to know, that I cant stand Brad. I haven't talked to him since that last time. He hurt me Fabian. He hurt me in a way nobody has before. He made me feel weak and powerless. He, touched me."

"Nina I am so sorry. I would never hurt you like that or touch you like that. I hope you know that Nina. I love you. You are the stars in my sky, the chords on my guitar, the key to my heart."

She looked at me. "How long did that one take you?"

"Actually none at all, but its good huh. I should add that to my songs about Nina." Did I just say that?

"You write songs about me?"

I blushed. "Yeah, there not that good." She brushed the hair out of my face and kissed me. We starting getting into it. I loved this girl so much. Then there was a flash. Everyone was at the door except Joy. Jerome was standing by the door with a camera. "Looks like I just got another picture for Amber's snogging page in the scrapbook she is making for you guys". We blushed at each other.

"Yay!" Amber was hugging Nina now.

Later we were all hanging in Nina's room playing a game of truth or dare, except for Joy.

"Ok here are the rules. #1 no chickening out on dares. #2 Dares can get as extreme and bad as you want them to as long as nobody is going on get seriously hurt or hospitalized. #3 NO lying on truths. Everyone get it?" Jerome asked looking at us all.

We all nodded. "Ok then what are we waiting for!" Mick asked impatiently. Everyone laughed. Mick went first. "Patricia, truth or dare". "Um, Dare".

"I dare you to….finish the game with your underwear on the outside of the rest of your clothes!" Everyone looked at Patricia to see what she would say. Patricia just looked at Jerome, "Fine." She obviously wasn't happy about it because she slammed the door on the way into the bathroom. Everyone laughed. "Good one!" Alfie said.

Patricia walked back in the room and sat down next to Jerome. Everyone tried not to laugh again but it was really hard. "Ok, Amber. Truth or Dare?" Patricia asked.

"Truth".

"How much money have you ever owed a credit card company. And don't lie!"

"What? Patricia, the credit card is not a company. Its magic money. That's what my daddy told me when he was explaining how it worked. I told him to explain it in the simplest way possible and even I knew that. I'm not that dumb."

We all just starred expecting her to laugh any second and tell us she was just kidding, but she never did. Amber broke the silence by saying, "Mara! Truth or Dare"

"Dare"

"I dare you to kiss Mick for 10 seconds"

"But Amber were already dating. Its not really a dare."

"So? I said do it so just do it!"

Mick and Mara shrugged and continued with the dare. Once they were done Mick whispered something to Mara. Then Mara said "Nina truth or dare"?

"dare"

Mick whispered something again. " I dare you and Fabian to snog(makeout) for 3 minutes"

My face went bright red. Nina and I rarely made out in front of people. I guess it was kinda private in a way. But Nina turned towards me, not finding a way to get out of it and crushed her lips to mine. I trailed my tounge on the outside of her lips slowly before she let me in again. Then we were really snogging. It went by pretty fast though because Amber suddenly said, "times up!"

Nina and I pulled away smiling. The guys let out hollers. Jerome seemed to be bored so Nina asked him next. He answered dare. "I dare you to….um" Nina tried for a few minutes but she couldn't think of one so she let me continue for her.

"Lick Mick's foot" I told him. Jerome looked discusted. Everyone busted out laughing as Mick pulled off his sock. He gave me a death glare. Come on what was the worst he could do to me anyways. He did it really fast and everyone screamed. Then Jerome grinned at me. He whipered to Patricia. They argued for a few minutes, before she agreed.

"Nina, truth or dare" he said

"Dare" she told him.

He looked at Patricia who nodded for him to go along. What did he need her permission for? But she looked interested too. "I dare you to snog with me for 5 minutes"

WHAT? How would Patricia agreed to this. He must have made her a non-resistible offer. Nina froze. She didn't know what to do. Obviously he was doing this to get back at me. "You cant do that Jerome that has to be against the rules". I yelled

"Its not! And besides she has to do it anyways. That part is in the rules"

I was fuming. I didn't care if this was a game. Nina was my girlfriend.

Jerome didn't wait for me to say anything else. He kissed Nina and soon his tongue was in her mouth. I was so disgusted. This was the longest 5 minutes of my life. Then he took his arm that had been resting on her shoulder and cupped it around her breast. Everyone looked shocked. Patricia just rolled her eyes. But you could tell they were full of jealousy. Nina was pushing against Jerome who backed off. He went back and sat next to Patricia. I stood up but before I could do anything Mick was holding me back. "You disgusting, immature human being. Are you crazy? Nina is mine!"

Jerome just smiled." Its all a game".

"Well I'm done" Mick, Amber, Mara, and Alfie said. (A/N Before you get confused I am keeping them all in the room because I need them in here together for something later. That's why they all stay)

Jerome and Patricia were having a conversation in the corner of the room while everyone else just sat around.

Nina wouldn't even look at me. She was sitting on her bed. I decided to join her.

PATRICIA'S POV:

Did Jerome just do what I think he did? Of course he had tried to put his hands on me before. Several times to tell the truth. We were just standing in the corner of Nina and Ambers room talking.

"What was that Jerome? I thought you said snogging for a few minutes and that was it"

"Listen Patricia. I'm sorry I just got caught up in everything. And I thought of how mad it would make Fabian. Do you know how bad Mick's foot tasted? Besides you know I don't want Nina like that. Shes to goody goody for me."

"I just don't get how you think that was ok." I told him

"Please Patricia I am sorry. Really. I..I just don't know what to say to make it better. I…I love you."

Did he just say that? I think he was even shocked by what he said by the look he gave me as soon as the words escaped his lips.

Then without hesitation I replied, "I love you too Jerome". Then we were kissing. Was this really happening? What I really forgiving him? I guess so, I just hoped I wouldn't be regretting this later….

FABIAN'S POV:

Nina just sat there. I have no idea how Jerome and Patricia had made up so fast. I was so mad at him right now. Even I hadn't touched Nina like that and we had been dating for weeks!

"Nina, I hope your not mad at me"

She looked at me confused. "Fabian i'm not mad at you. I thought you would be mad at me. I just made out with one of your best friends."

"I know you didn't want to though. So that's not your fault." She smiled at me and kissed me on the cheek.

Just then Joy busted into the room. She slapped Nina across the face. "You boyfriend stealing slut! I'm leaving now because I cant stand to sit here and see you hurt Fabian. Fabes ill always be here for you."

"Joy you are crazy. I can't believe you just called Nina that. If anyone is its you! Leave Joy. We don't want you here anymore."

"Whatever. Goodbye everyone. Don't count on me coming back, ever"

"Good!" I yelled at her.

She left the room. Actually it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Nina comforted me trying to calm me down. "I'm sorry guys" I said to all of them.

"No its cool. This time I'm glad she's gone" Patricia said.

LATER THAT NIGHT

Jerome, Alfie, Mick, and I were in my room talking until lights out. The girls went to bed early, which kinda bummed us out.

Jerome and I were nowhere near speaking terms. I mainly strummed on my guitar while Jerome and Alfie told Mick about this new zombie movie. I was going over lyrics in my head.

Just take my hand and we'll do the impossible

Just take my hand and all the pain will go away

I'll never let you fall and we'll keep on going strong

Just wait for me, baby please your everything I want

No that wasn't right. I wanted to pull out my lyric book but then I would have to show it to Jerome and Alfie too. Then Jerome and Alfie were done with their zombie convo. They got up to leave, but then Jerome looked at me and said "By the way Fabian, I just thought I would let you know Nina is a great kisser. And she is so firm, if you know what I'm talking about". He winked at me. It took everything I had not to attack him. This was ridiculous. He couldn't just be mature for once?

They left. Mick just stared at me. "What?" I asked.

"You know Fabian there might be a point to what Jerome is saying"

"A point? He's talking about my girlfriends boobs here! Don't you think its ridiculous that hes been places with her, I don't have the guts to even think about"?

"Oh come on man like you've never pictured her like that"!

"Its not like I try to but sometimes its hard"

"I know. It's a guy thing. And what im trying to say is. Is that if you don't get to these places, not like to the full extent, but if you don't try something new she might just get bored"

I thought about it for a second. Maybe he was right. He cut off the lights leaving me and my thoughts alone in the dark.
