Chapter 4
Sorry chapter 3 was posted as chapter 2 twice how I don't know but it happened a well, let's continue on
Thanks for the reviews and tell all of your house of Anubis loving mates to check this out I have a surprise twist in store.
I do not own house of Anubis or any of it's character's but I wish Eugene/Jerome was MINE!
AMBER'S P.O.V.
Did Jerome Clarke just tell me he was in boarding school since he was 5. Is that why he always acted so weird and mysterious around people except Alfie. Did Alfie know that? If he didn't he never will know. That's so sad. He explained his Father abused him and his mother and he always punished Jerome physically for the smallest things. I couldn't believe it.
*A FEW DAYS LATER*
Alfie died on Friday and they held the funeral on Monday. I stayed close to Jerome to make sure he was okay. Halfway through the ceremony it all got too much for poor Jerome. He ran out in bits. I was sitting next to Trudy and Jerome was on the outside. She said go after him. It was a small church in the peaceful countryside. And the graveyard was down by a stream. I ran out and found Jerome, down by the stream. I told Trudy to tell Mr. and Mrs. Lewis that I would meet them later and talk to them. She said she would say that it all got a bit much for Jerome and I had gone out to see if he was okay.
NINA'S P.O.V
I caught Amber getting up mid-way through the ceremony. I had seen Jerome leave too. I ask Trudy who was beside me what was wrong. She explained Jerome got awfully upset and left and Amber chased after him. What was with those too all of a sudden Amber always swore she would never go out with Jerome. So what was happening.
AMBER'S P.O.V.
I ran and I ran trying to find Jerome. He was awfully quick when he wanted to be. I swore at some points he was faster than Mick. And Mick was FAST. I nearly twice fell and twisted my ankles. Ugh these stupid Gucci 5 inch heels. I took them off as I couldn't run any more. I paused and watched Jerome. I found him sitting down by the stream just as I suspected.
"Jerome, are you okay" I looked at him his eyes were all bloodshot and red. He looked like a totally different person. I'd never seen Jerome like this in my whole life at Anubis House. He didn't answer me. I hugged him and kissed his lips they were super soft I didn't go any further as he was in a state I was trying to help him. He wasn't helping me help him by not talking. "Come on Jerome you're going to have to face up this at some point". "As I was running out I saw Mrs. Lewis mouth to Trudy something like what's wrong with him" I looked back and saw people moving out of the church. Jerome quick aren't you and the other guys suppose to be carrying Alfie's coffin. "Here's what we'll do I walk beside you and help so soldier on". "Okay Amber" I stood up and took his hand. We fast walked up the little hill. He ran up and took his place infront of Fabian. I walked up and stood beside him. Mara said "What was I doing" I just said "being supportive".
JEROME'S P.O.V.
In all fairness to Amber she ran after me to see if I was okay and I appreciated that. She kissed me. And straight away I felt like one person not Alfie, or Trudy loved me and cared about me. She managed to get me to go and carry Alfie's coffin. She said it was what he would have wanted. I supposed she was right. After all this was for Alfie and the Lewis'. She even stood beside me to support me. I saw Mara asking what was she doing. I was very greatful of her to be doing this for me for Alfie.
I wanted to tell her that yesterday, when I was singing I'm Yours that I was talking about her. I had heard her singing some song I'd didn't know and hoped she was walking down to my room. I started singing from the end of the chorus. And she did hear it. I wonder if she had figured out it was her that I was talking about in the song. She probably thought it was Mara as everyone knew I loved her and was trying to make her and Mick "the meathead" Campbell break up. Should I tell her now?
FABIAN'S P.O.V.
Jerome ran out and Amber chased after him. I thought those too didn't like each other. But they had something in common. They both had loved Alfie. Jerome was his best firend and Amber was his never ending crush. Amber and Alfie had kissed at prom but never went any further than that. Alfie had been told by Amber that she still had feelings for Mick. It must have shattered his heart. Going back to Amber and Jerome maybe they were hatching a plan. Fake a relationship to make their crushes (Jerome's =Mara and Amber = Mick who were dating each other ) jealous. I must give credit where credit is due to Millington if that was her idea.
AMBER'S P.O.V.
As we were walking to the grave yard Jerome started to talk. He told me that yesterday when he had sung THAT song that he meant me. Me, Amber Millington. I couldn't believe it. If I had said it to anyone else like Nina she would have said it was Jerome. What if …. What if I meant and talked to Alfie. You know get those spirit talkers to let me talk to him. What would Alfie have said? Would he have told me it was for me?
*Back at Anubis House*
(still Amber' point of view)
We had a party and there was alcohol. Not Victor's smartest idea. I went around trying to talk to everyone of Alfie's relatives. But little did I know Jerome was trying to commit suicide.
JEROME'S P.O.V.
It was all becoming too much for me. I had to drown my sorrows. And I did. Victor had left larger and wine etc. for the guests. Alfie's alcoholic cousin, Jeff said he would throw in drinks to me every once in a while so I wouldn't get caught by Vampire face. I drank and I drank. And after a while everything became hazy.
AMBER'S P.O.V.
I forgot about Jerome. I went to check on him. I walked down the long corridor for what seemed like an eternity. I had a funny feeling. I opened his door. I saw Jerome collapsed out on the floor. I ran over and took his pulse for 1 minute there was 20 beats. He was very weak. I looked around to see if there was anything that could have caused it. There was beer cans here there and everywhere. And on his bedside locker there was a small clear plastic bag. There was a white substance in there. It was cocaine. How did Jerome get it. I remembered Alfie's cousin Jeff the druggie and alcoholic. Jerome was so upset he tried to do suicide.
