Hey new chapter for all of you! Just a note I changed the name from Pulling the Trigger to Born to Die it actually works better. So I am not going to update anymore UNLESS I get 5 or more reviews however long it takes! Here it is Chapter 3, Mara and a rope. This is going to be very much a Jara chapter BUT from now on the story is Jamber.
Mara and a rope ~ Chapter 3 ~ Born to Die
Mara's P.O.V. Wednesday evening.
I've been noticing that Jerome has been acting very strange these past few days. He has been ditching class every day this week so far. He's just not himself these days. And before and after school he is often disappearing. Some times the same time and I must say I have been tempted many a time to go after him. But I haven't actually plucked up the courage to go. So today I was bored after school and decided to go for a walk. As I came closer to the woods I saw a tall shadowy figure fixing something onto what looked like a tree. As I got closer I could make out that the figure was Jerome. "Hi Jerome… um what are you doing," "What this," he said pointing to the rope hanging on the tree next to him "I am just a catching a… um…. Squirrels and seeing if I can get them caught but of course I will let them go," I looked at him puzzled so I walked off.
You shoot me down but I won't fall, I am Titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall, I am Titanium
Chose your last words, This is the last time,
Cuz you and I, we were born to die.
I came back and from the tree I saw a tall figure hanging from the tree. Well it's surely not a gigantic human sized squirrel. Then it dawned on me it was Jerome I ran towards him to see what he was doing. "Jerome what are you doing?" "I…. I…. I…. want to die, I feel suicidal , I just don't want to live anymore Mara my life is so screwed up can't you see," "No I can't Jerome which must make me blind" I said. "Yes it is Mara you don't know the hell I've gone through you don't know me Mara and yet you think I do," he screamed. I stood there flabbergasted and not a word could leave my mouth. I hadn't expected something like that to come from his mouth. For 10 whole seconds the forest was in complete silence. "I'm sorry Mara I shouldn't have shouted at you like that," he whispered. "It's fine Jerome," I said putting a hand on his arm "Just please don't commit suicide because I love you too much to let you go." I finished and he released the rope from his neck. There were red friction burns left in his neck but I said he could easily cover them up with a scarf. He stood there for a second, came over closer to me and kissed me passionately on the lips. But something is not right there was passion but not pure passion, passion you feel when somebody really loves you.
Jerome's P.O.V.
Did I really just do what I THINK I DID? Guess I must have. But the thing is I actually DON'T like Mara. I love someone else, But I can never be with her because I'm plain, old, sad Jerome. So far every attempt at suicide had been foiled by the girls. But it looks like it has come down t this one thing. The jump from a bridge. And I won't be found.
He thinks the bridge is the end but is the end really nigh for Jerome will someone come to his rescue once again? Well we'll let Amber tell you the story next time round and there is a MASSIVE twist in store for one person. But who? Leave a review to find out and I need 5 of them for the truth to be revealed. So until next time.
