CHAPTER 9

HEY EVERYBODY THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEWS. I MANAGED TO UPDATE TODAY THANKS TO HUGEBTRFAN I HAD A WONDERFUL DAY! I AM DOING TO NEW CHAPTER AND YOU WILL FIND OU THE TRUTH.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HOUSE OF ANUBIS OR ANY OF IT'S CHARACTER'. WHAT I DO OWN IS THE STORY.

AMBER'S P.O.V.

I ran and ran. Why would Mara do that to me. I thought we were friends. Well I know we haven't had a proper conversation since the election. Except today's cat fight. That was quite fun. I need to get involved in more catfights. I flew past the desks and I saw Nina stick her hand out to stop me. I was just too fast for her. How could Jerome betray me? Besides, he said he loved me. I said I loved him. We trusted each other with our secrets. Why me, and why now? In this hard time we were all having?

I ran and ran past the desks into the car park. The man in the taxi went to get a coffee and was still there he just went in to get a coffee. When I got to the car park I stopped and took a breather. I spotted Victor. Shoot had he seen me? The man from the taxi came back and I told him I needed to go back to Anubis. I remember they were all there and Trudy was gone to do the weekly shopping. I decided to take a walk in the woods. I went out to Sibuna's regular place. The burnt down tree.

MICK'S P.O.V.

"Mara how could you" I shouted "and with Clarke of all the people it could have been you chose him". "Mick you don't get it really you don't". "I get it perfectly" "No Mick, I kissed Jerome a) to get back at you I love you but I don't think you love me the same way and b) just to annoy Amber she's really bugging me right now, you know how we acted this morning" Mara said "What happened this morning" asked Jerome. "Shut it Clarke you're in enough trouble already" I shouted at him. I felt like punched him to death but for my sake I didn't. "I'll explain later Jerome" said Fabian.

"Actually" I said "I have a secret too". "I was the one who put Jerome in hospital" Everyone turned and looked at me there mouths O. "No Mick the drugs and alcohol put Jerome in here" "Yes and No, Nina". She looked at me confused. "Ye found cocaine didn't you"? "Yes" the all said. "Well I injected it into him". I said quietly.

FABIAN'S P.O.V.

Jerome did not take Mick's news with a pinch of salt. He tried to leap out of the bed. It took the strength of me Patricia, and Nina to hold Jerome down. "You mean you were the one who put me here, in this dump" "Yes" Mick said sheepishly. After that it didn't go down well. For a few minutes the whole room was silent. Except for all the monitors Jerome was hooked up to. The police ran in and put Mick in handcuffs. After they took Mick away, Nina left the room. Probably to call Amber and imform her on what had happened. And she came n and handed her phone to Jerome

NINA'S P.O.V.

I knew that once Mick said what he had to say, all hell would break loose. I whipped out my phone and dialled for the police as soon as possible. They came and Mick was arrested. I asked them not to say I was the one who called. They said fine and I hung up. I decided to ring Amber, besides she must be lonely.

Nina: "Hey Ambs, are you okay"?

Amber: "I good as I can get really"?

N: "Um I don't really know how to put this but, Mara said she kissed Jerome to get back at Mick and just to annoy you, I guess that's kinda how your catfight started and Mick got arrested"

A: "What ugh… Mara Jaffrey you are so dead and why was Mick arrested"?

N: "Mick was the one who put Jerome in hospital he injected Jerome with the drugs".

A: "Poor beau, ( pronounced boo that's what Amber calls all her boyfriends) is he okay, can I talk to him"?

N: I guess you can, I'll just get him and see if he wants to talk he probably wants to since you left and everything".

"Jerome um…. Amber is on the phone she is wondering if ye could speak" He simply just nodded at me and I took it as a yes.

J: "I so sorry Amber but you got it all wro…..

A: "I know Mara kissed you to annoy me and Mick, Nina explained the whole story to me"

J: "Oh… in that case…..

A: "I love you Jerome, I'll come see you again later on when everyone is home when it's just you and me oh… and I'm looking forwards to seeing the picture".

J: "I… I … love you too Amber"

I listened to their conversation and by the sounds of things that was the first time Jerome said I love you to someone and he really meant it. I decided that I should go apologise to Mara I mean I did slap her across the face.

N: "Um Mara, I'm so sorry, I over reacted I should never have slapped you..".

M: "It's okay Nina, I should never had kissed Jerome, he belongs with Amber and I have Mick".

N: "I'm sorry he was um… arrested"

M: "I am too Nina"

Just then the doctor came in. "Good news Mr. Clarke, you will be going home tomorrow, we don't know why the alcohol did not take it's toll on you but tests may bring us answers" "That's great news isn't it Jerome" I said. "Yah it is" He didn't seem too happy. Why?

AMBER'S P.O.V.

Everyone came back at around 3. I was so happy to see them. I hugged them all individually. "Amber, I'm so sorry I never should have kissed Jerome" "It's okay Mara, all has been said and done, the past is the past now let's look to the future" "Okay, friends" she said unsure "Friends" and I stuck out my hand and we shaked and hugged again.

I was going to see Jerome when they came home but I said he needed time to rest and take in everything that happened. Even I can't get over it. I rang for the taxi and it was 10 minutes before it was here. Thankfully it was another driver not the one I usually had. It would be awkward if I had to explain why I was so quick today and was coming back again no offense to the man.

I did the usual routine walked up and stood and dolled myself up. "Hey babes, I'm sorry about everything the way I reacted I shouldn't have left I feel really bad" I said "It's fine I would have done that too if I were you" "I have good news" he started "I'm being let out tomorrow" "Oh that's great beau" and I hugged him. I had a great idea. We could throw a welcome home party. I could come and go home with Jerome while they guys back home. I'll call Nina on the way home and she could ask Trudy, I knew she'd probably say yes. We chatted for ages and then he handed me the portrait. "OMG Jerome its… its…. Beautiful". "Really you think so" "Jerome Clarke, Amber Millington does not lie, I can write it down because black and white never lies". "So according to my picture (A/N: WHICH JEROME LATER DECIDED TO SKETCH BLACK AND WHITE) you are beautiful" he said. We kissed it felt like forever. For all I knew, pigs could have flied, and bombs could be fired but nothing will come between me and Jerome. Not even a kiss for another girl.

I left after another 20 minutes and hopped into the taxi which actually waited for me. I whipped out my phone and dialled Nina's number.

Amber: "Nina, Jerome's coming home tomorrow and I thought we could throw a surprise welcome home party"

Nina: "That's a brilliant idea Amber, shall I go ask Trudy"?

A: "Sure"

We organised the rest of it with her on the way home. We were all so tired after out long day. I went to bed and caught up on my beauty sleep.

*NEXT MORNING (STILL AMBER'S P.O.V.)*

I woke up and jumped out of bed. Today was the day Jerome came home and the day of the party. YAY!

The doctor had explained that he would have Jerome ready to go home at noon. So I was leaving and I got everyone else to work on getting the party organised. I had to send Nina a text telling her when we were on the way home.

We came home and we opened the door. Everyone was standing in the hall waiting for us to arrive. And mental Joy had come back. When everyone said Welcome Home Jerome Joy said BOUNCY PANSISES.

We partied for ages and I didn't let Jerome out of my sight. We never wanted a repeat just after he came home. After a while Nina disappeared where could she be? Just then Rufus came in with a knife to Nina's neck. At least his taste in weapns had gotten better. But that was not good for Nina. "No one move or the Chosen One gets it. I let out a ear piercind shriek. He moved the knife in closer to Nina's throat.

I'M LEAVING IT THERE. I AM STARTING A NEW STORY CALLED THE RETURN OF THE BETRAYER. IT CONTINUES FROM THE PARTY. IT HAS KINDA LOST INTREST IN ALFIE SO I'LL DO THE SEUEAL.
