Hello people! Here's oneshot number two, and, as promised *cough*izzi08*cough*, it will be Jara(: This one is 'Bathrooms'. So, let's start! XD
Jerome had always hung around in bathroom stalls, girls' or boys'. Because, let's face it, as nasty as standing in a bathroom stall between classes sounds, it was the best way to find out all the latest gossip and/or secrets (to be later used as blackmail, of course). But as Jerome heard voices coming into the bathroom today, they said something he did not expect.
"Mars, wait up!" the male voice called, "Just let me explain!"
"Mara, please don't be mad!" another voice said, this time female. "It just happened! I'm sorry!"
"Go away!" a third voice sobbed. I recognized it immediately. Mara.
Wait, why was a guy in the girls' bathroom besides me? Lemme think, Mara came in crying, then a boy and a girl came in making excuses and apologizing. Amber and Campbell. Ugh, how'd the meathead screw up this time?
"Mara!" Mick called, "Please, open the door!"
"I said go away!" she yelled, still in tears.
"Mara, please please please open up!" Amber whined. "You can't be mad at me!"
"THE HELL I CAN'T!" Mara screamed, her voice angrier than Jerome had ever heard it before. "YOU KISS MY BOYFRIEND, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, LIE AND SAY IT MEANT NOTHING, AND THEN TRY AND TELL ME HOW TO FEEL? I'M DONE. FUCKING. DONE."
He heard the sound of a door creaking open, then two 'smack's right in a row.
"What the hell was that for?" he heard Mick say.
"You know damn well what it was for, Campbell." Jerome said, stepping out of the stall.
"Jerome, you creep, what are you doing in the girls' toilets?" Amber asked, a disgusted look on her face.
"I could ask the same about Mick." He retorted, raising an intimidating eyebrow.
Then he looked over and caught a glimpse of Mara. He swore he could hear his heart break just at the sight of her. Mascara ran down her face, and her hair was frizzy, as if she'd had her head in her hand for a while.
He pulled her into a hug and let her cry on his shoulder, not caring that his shirt was going to be ruined.
"Hey Clarke, lay off my girl!" Mick said, fuming.
"Y-you think I s-still want t-to d-date you?" Mara managed to choke out.
Mick stood there, a shocked expression on his face.
"Come on, Mara," Jerome said, "Let's get you out of here."
He put his arm around her for support (because in her condition, she may not be able to walk without toppling over), and let her down the hallway, leaving behind a dumbfounded Mamber. 'Ha, Mamber,' he thought to himself, 'Mick + Amber. I like it.'.
He opened the door to the school and guided Mara back to Anubis. He had to carry her up the stairs, as she was sobbing so badly now that she was shaking, and lay her down in bed.
"Jerome?" Mara asked, the sobs dying down.
"Yes, love?" Jerome said.
"Thanks. For everything." She managed a weak smile.
"No problem, Mara. Now get your rest, you've had a long day.
She simply nodded and rest her head on the pillow, falling asleep almost instantly.
"Goodnight Mara." Jerome whispered, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead before turning off the lights and walking out of her room.
"I love you." He whispered as the door shut.
"I love you too." Mara whispered back, half awake. But Jerome hadn't known she was awake, so he had moved on down the stairs before she could reply.
'Someday,' Jerome thought, 'Someday, she will be mine.'
Ta-da! Sorry it wasn't very long, but I just realized that my deadline is the 25th and I still have 8 more to go! AH! :) But anyways, I know it wasn't full-on Jara, but I thought it was kinda cute, right? Ah, idk. So, whatever, REVIEW! Haha(: Love always, moonbeam
