Okay folks, this is the chapter Joy realizes who she really is in love with. And for Moy shippers, that Jeroy thing was temporary! Calm your panties down!
And, like, out of five reviews for Alfie dying, only three stood out. I swear guys, he'll come back, he won't die. Ill make him healthy and everything. And if he ever died, it'd be a prank with him and Jerome it. ;)
PS: This is the chapter we've all been waiting for. Enjoy!
-Amber
I started crying. Why was this world bent on destroying me and Alfie? Just why? I then realized my dream, if I refused, my beloved ones would suffer...
Eventually I wipe them tears away, accept Nina's hug, and take in Alfie's hands. I smell in some sweet scent of apples.
I exhale, and another round of tears hit.
Why can't we have happily ever after?
-Fabian
I cross my legs, drinking hot cocoa. I drank it all and went to the kitchen.
I walk in the kitchen, Joy upset.
"What's wrong, Joy?" I ask casually.
"I know I chose Jerome, but there's something wrong with me. I don't know what." She said, a cookie crumbling in her tightened fist.
"What's wrong? Are you sure that Jerome is someone you love most?"
"I dunno, Fabian. I mean, I still like Jerome, but my heart's telling me that he isn't the one."
"Well, follow your heart and where it ends up will be the one you love most." She hugs me and we have that best friend hug again.
-Patricia
How the double date went:
We arrived at the restaurant, Eddie being a gentlemen and pulling out my chair. Glaring intensely at the other boys who would dare check me out. Though in my perspective, it wasn't all that bad. Actually it was flattering.
We were at an Italian food restaurant. I ordered normal pasta with a coconut drink.
Eddie said "Patricia, what are your interests?"
"Eddie, I thought you were my boyfriend. I thought you knew." He smiled in a way that said Im just asking to break the ice!
I couldn't believe he did that. I look at his parents, saying "I like to listen to rock music and..." I took a deep breath, knowing it would impact everyone I know. "And I also play volley ball."
Pretty much Eddie almost spewed out his Coke. His mom scolded him while helping him clean up. Mr. Sweet was just plain old shocked. "Miss Williamson, you play volleyball?"
I laughed dryly. "I know, right? I didn't believe that either, but my parents bring me to a summer camp so I thought, Hey, why not?So I'd practiced and I became better. Eventually I've grown to love it and yeah, that's it."
Eddie's mom said "Well, Patricia, I think you are a wonderful girl for Eddie. I think KT and him don't go together so well."
"Moooooommmmm." Eddie whined.
"It's true, Edison. Patricia is alike you in many ways more than one. Oh dear, eight thirty PM. Better head back to the school grounds." Mr. Sweet said, looking at his gold watch.
At Anubis house, I knew KT saw me and Eddie, but I honestly didn't cared.
So when Eddie tried to dip me, with my feast reflexes I turned him over, my eyes shining with humor, me laughing, I also give off a rather mischievous smirk. "Don't like the tables turned, do you Edison?"
"Not really, Trixie." He laughed as I helped him up.
Our lips brushed together as they said a quiet good night as we trudged to our bed rooms.
-Nina
When Amber begged me to go with her, I awkwardly said yes, seeming I was going to be in the hospitable for the next month or so.
I put on my jacket, we walked to his room, just two floors above my own.
How it went:
Amber said "Nina! Please come with me, I don't want to be alone!"
"Yes I know, my food doesn't want to be alone either!"
"Nina!"
"Alright, alright, I'm coming!" I said, putting on my jacket.
Now here I was, waiting for Amber. She walked out the room, a tear streaked face, her voice repeating "He's going to die."
"Amber, who is going to die?" I said, confused.
"A-Alfie. In the next two weeks." her voice small.
Soon, she wipes the tears away and accepts, my offer for a hug.
But soon she cries again, sitting next to an unconscious Alfie, holding his hands.
Why can't life ever be fair just this once?
-KT
At school, I was shocked by Marc's flowers, sweet smelling buds.
When I see Eddie, at home, I sit next to him on the couch in the living room.
"Hello, Eddie." I said tentatively.
"Hi, KT." he says effortlessly and breathlessly.
"So, are you and Patricia going out?"
"No, why you ask?" His voice seemed jumpy at that point.
"I saw you-Just asking, that's all." I say and stand up, walking away.
I can't believe he lied to my face, something is up and I'm going to find out what it is.
-Joy
I felt a feeling in my stomach.
I couldn't believe how Mick had he really loved me, then he should of kept going.
What was I thinking?
He probably hated me.
Somehow, I couldn't accept that.
I marched at him, saying really loudly. "What is wrong with you, Mick?"
"What, Joy? Did you expect me to keep liking you and keep pushing things?"
"Yes!"
"Ok, yes, I like you, I really do, but you chose Jerome! What am I supposed to do?"
"Well, what am I supposed to do, huh Mick?"
"I dunno, you think I'm supposed to say I still love you!"
"Well, I still love you!"
What did I just say?
-Mick
Oh dear lord.
Her cheeks grown rosy as she turned away, saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I-"
I stop her with a short kiss, her eyes hazy and confused.
"Just stop apologizing, and go think things through deeply, okay? Before you make your decision?"
She nodded, lips pursed together tightly.
"G'night Joy." I say.
"Good night." Her last words, before embracing me tightly, almost afraid if I was to go.
I wrap my arms tightly too then I released her.
-Piper
In the morning, I ran to the school. I wasn't participating in the school's Variety Show, but I needed extra credit so I signed up, no singing, but I'll do the piano for the contestants/participants.
That morning I was simply tuning the piano, my fingers brushing against it melancholy like.
The first person arriving to practice was Patricia, her voice ready. IT was a CD playing the music so I got shocked at hearing her singing.
She began to sing, but immediately stopped after a stanza or two.
The song went nameless.
"Piper?" She just realized, looking at me.
I walked out from behind the curtains saying "Yeah, it's me."
"Why were you watching me?"
"Didn't mean too." I admitted.
She nodded, walking by, she whispered "Don't tell anyone I can sing or you'll regret it, Pipes."
-Joy
What was going to happen?
I pulled myself together, swallowing every grasps of air I could manage to borrow.
I wasn't going to choose the person I love based on charts, but I was hopefully going to speed the process.
Mick:
Pros-
* Sweet
* Cares for another
* Tries hard for my heart
Cons-
* Left Mara for a stupid Australian boarding school for two years
* Sometimes insensitive
* Overly jealous
Jerome:
Pros-
* Deviously adorable
* Trying hard to win my heart back
* Wants only the best for me
Cons-
* At first with Mara then with Willow
*A cheater and a liar
*Unpredictable
I sat back, somewhat satifisfied and unsatisfied,
I'm confused, torn, and most of all?
Hungry.
I went downstairs, I pick up someone's iPad 2, a sticky note on there with a message
Joy, watch this.
-From someone who cares
-Mick
I was messing around with my iPad, just taking random pictures for the upcoming school dance called the Halloween Bash.
I then saw Jerome with Mara.
Mara said "So Jerome, does Joy ever tell you how much you means to her?"
"Um, no, not really. She'll say she loves me but only with an audience. I've never heard her say she love me or how much I mean to her." he admitted thoughtfully.
Mara nodded, "Last year, did you miss me Jerome?"
"Yes, but I am better with Joy now." his voice vaguely disguised with fake happiness.
"Right, right, can I do one thing?"
"What is it?" Jerome asked and my jaw dropped to the floor.
They.
Were.
Kissing.
Talk about totally backstabbing.
I backed up, swallowing my spit.
I ran to the house and flashed out a pen and a sticky note.
I taped the sticky note to the iPad and wrote:
Joy, watch this.
-From someone who cares.
-Joy
I felt my heart break.
I knew Jerome wasn't the one, but really?
I sniffed and leaned my back on the wall, feeling the overwhelming anguish and tears.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
Then the cold wet tears fell.
Why do I have to suffer all this heart ache?
-Amber
I was simply readjusting my bed when Trudy came in, saying "Amber, phone for you."
"Yes?" I said, trying to sound strong.
"We have some good news from Alfie's state of health."
"And that would be?" I pressed the phone closer to my ear while cranking up the volume.
"He's going to live!" I squealed and dropped the phone on the plush cherry pink carpet.
I blushed and skipped with the phone in my room, talking to the doctor "Hello?"
"Yes, you can visit him now if you wish."
And that was all it took before I arrived, flushed and breathless.
-Nina
I practically Amber running in, happy and squealing.
No, sorry, she wasn't running. She was practically flying.
"Hey Nina, guess what?" she said, bouncing to my room.
I was eating the hospitable meat loaf when I heard that Alfie was going to live.
"Amber, that's amazing!" I said and she hugged me.
"Squeeee! I know, right?" she twirled with her hair, smiling so big massive was an understatement.
"Want to go visit him?" Amber chirped, bright blue eyes playful.
"Sorry Amber, have to finish my meat loaf and besides, I'm going to get a needle shot after." I rubbed the arm that was going to get shot.
"Oh, well, okay! See you later! Get well soon!" Amber didn't even wait for my goodbye, she just ran off.
-Alfie
I was breathing in deeply when Amber bounded in, looking priceless like always.
"Hey Alfie." she said sleepily and fell on my bed.
I snuggled up to her and we both somehow fell asleep.
-Fabian
The next day I was visiting Nina and everything was well.
I planned to go check up on Alfie on behalf of Jerome, who was somewhat busy having troubles with Joy.
Whatever going on between those two don't need the concern of me unless they ask me to help them.
I opened the door to find Amber fast asleep with Alfie.
I shook them "Wake up. What have you guys been doing last night?"
Alfie blushed "Dude, you have a freakin' dirty mind! We weren't doing anything."
Amber however replied with a One Minute finger sign and rushed to the bathroom.
She began to puke and I said. "Amber, you okay?"
"F-" she couldn't even finish as she vomited.
I backed away, turning on the bathroom fan.
"Guess I'll tell Jerome you guys'll be fine." I shrugged and went to go see Nina again.
-Joy
This wasn't over, my thing with Jerome was really temporary.
I honestly didn't know who I really was in love with after all.
I took a deep breath and stood up. I rounded up the boys, this time however I said
"I honestly choose Mick. Final decision."
Nothing could of possibly describe the atmosphere except:
Silent.
Mick, finally with a smile on his face, jumped towards me, kissing my cheek.
"Final choice?" he whispered.
"Positive." I replied while Jerome went out, actually heartbroken.
It made sense though, me and Mick being together.
-Amber
Being the smart person Mara is, she told me to get a pregnancy test.
Why, I didn't know.
She said one reason was morning sickness. Which I guess was one good reason.
I was going home with Fabian, who was helping me through a taxi.
I was eating some cereal when an urge just to throw up hit me..
I just fled for the fancy toilet and threw up my guts.
Fabian followed closely behind, turning on the bathroom fan like he did in the hospitable.
Another reason: food cravings.
It was midday when Trudy said I shouldn't attend school.
I cheered and laid in bed, somehow craving oreos with peanut butter.
Then I craved creamy muushroom soup.
Then buttery bread with beef stew.
Then a fruit salad.
All in all, I had an odd day.
Final reason: sudden mood swings.
When Alfie told me he was coming home, I was weeping with joy.
When Joy told me she aced an 100 on her algebra test while I received an 84, I smashed a vase with my bare fists, now bloody but not too bloody.
When Fabian told me he was going to give Nina a bouquet of roses for her upcoming hospitable release I was happy for her release but jealous of the dozen roses.
But before I could, Trudy and Victor sent me to the hospitable with no complaints.
Alfie being released happily attended me, soothingly patting in my back, kissing my forehead, holding my hand tight.
At the hospitable, the doctor scanned my belly, saying "Hmm, odd."
"What's odd, doctor?" Alfie said, suddenly more like a mature man than a goofy and silly seventeen year old, almost eighteen.
"Amber, she is-"
"Doctor, do one more test just in case." one of the nurses urged, looking at me weird.
One test later, I weeped. With joy, worry, fear, pride, and happiness.
Why?
I was pregnant with Alfie Lewis' child.
Oh MY GODDDD! Joy chose Mick! Jerome cheated on her with Mara! Mara, why did you kiss Jerome like that? Nina is being released while Alfie is released! YAY! Amber is pregant? :O!
