I'm so so so so so sorry about the late update, but in my defense you only did 4 reviews, not 7, sooooo PLEASE REVIEW THIS CHAPTER!

Help

I ran up to my room only to be followed by everyone in the house, except Joy. Why Fabian went, I don't know, but I didn't want to ask him, I have had too much drama already. Amber was the first one to speak.

"Nina, we all are happy that you and Blaine are dating, Joy was just being the brat she is!"

Surprisingly, Fabian didn't say anything. Wasn't he going to defend his girlfriend? Maybe he didn't even like her, but I don't want to get my hopes high.

"Amber, to be honest, I wasn't really going to date Blaine. It was just to make Fabian jealous, but that epically back fired. It was stupid and childish," I said, I wanted them to know the truth.

Again, Fabian didn't say anything. He just stood there. Maybe he was as defeated as I was…

"Can I talk to Nina alone?" Mara asked.

This completely surprised me. Mara and I have never been that great of friends. We would talk sometimes, but we both knew that it was just to be nice. I had never thought of Mara more than the sweet, preppy, school girl. I guess that was just because I had never gotten to know her. Once everyone left the room she sat down on my bed next to me and sighed.

"Nina…" she seemed to be thinking about something else, "Nina, I know how you feel."

I nodded and she continued, "Well, scratch that, I kind of know how you feel and I think I can help. When Mick was dating Amber I felt invisible and I kind of got him the wrong way, but that's not the point. Fabian obviously doesn't love and respect you as much as you love him and that's how I felt when Mick was with Amber," she turned and faced me, "You need to move on."

I just sat there watching her as she cried. I felt sick inside. I pulled her in and let her cry on my shoulder for five minutes, then, breaking the silence I decided to speak up.

"What's wrong?"

She took a deep breath and looked at me, "I was so caught up with dating Mick that I forgot about everything, and I'm not happy. I forgot about Amber and her feelings, I forgot about Jerome, I even forgot about myself. I don't want to date Mick, but I feel that since I've already hurt so many people I can't just end it."

"Well," I began, "you first need to think about yourself. You can't please others without pleasing yourself, first. Who do you want to be with?"

She paused, and thought, "Jerome," she said flatly.

"Then go ahead and be with Jerome! You have your whole life to live for."

"Thanks Nina, but now I have to help you. Move on, have fun, be free. You do not need Fabian to make you happy. And who knows, maybe he'll figure out how wonderful you are along the way."

"Thanks," I took a deep breath, "I think I need some rest."

"Okay, Nina, feel better," and with that, she left.

That made me feel a whole lot better, but I'm not actually tired, I wanted to be alone. I'm glad that Mara's going to finally be happy, I still don't get why she helped me. It was nice, though. It helped a lot and maybe I should move on from Fabian. He was never going to love me the way I love him. Maybe, I should give up on it all…

I woke up to Amber blow drying her hair. She seemed deep in concentration.

"Morning Nina, are you okay?" she asked not looking up from her hair.

"Yah, I'm fine."

"Mara wanted me to tell you that she's going out with Jerome now, I don't know why you would care though…"

I smiled. As long as Mara's happy, I thought.

"Thanks Amber."

I walked downstairs to find everyone except Joy at the table for breakfast. I sat down in my new seat and smiled at Mara. Today, I wouldn't let anyone get in my way. I turned around and whispered in Jerome's ear, "Congratulations."

That brightened up him usual frown. This day was already better.

"Hello guys!" Joy came down with a large smile on her face, kissed Fabian's cheek and started eating an orange, "I want to apologize to Nina for everything that happened to her."

"Thanks Joy," I said a little uncertain.

"Nina, I mean it, okay."

"Okay," I said nodding.

After Breakfast Joy pulled me aside.

"Nina, we both know that you want Fabian, so back off. Let's just pretend that we like each other for," she paused, "reputation purposes, okay?"

That little bitch, "Joy, I would be completely fine with us being friends, and I'm over Fabian."

"Or so you say…" and then she walked off leaving me guessing what's going to happen next.

She's not a saint and she's not what you think, she's an actress.

Okay, I want 5 to 10 reviews and I think I'm going to end the story next chapter because I know what I'm going to do. I hope you liked how I added Jara! PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!
