Summary: Mara could not break Jerome, no matter what she did to him.
Point of View: First person; Jerome
Characters: In person: Jerome; In thoughts: Mara, Mick
Genre: Angst/Romance
I thought she was putty in my hands…Mick was gone; it was the perfect opportunity. Of course, I had to uphold my image, so I would never admit that I liked a nerdy ice queen; no, I had to cover my tracks. Even so, asking her out was inevitable, even if it was a bit too early. I honestly had no idea what her relationship with Mick was like at the moment; after all, she had been a bitch to him for almost their whole relationship.
So, when she rejected my proposal that we should go out to lunch, I honestly wasn't surprised. I know she wasn't trying to hurt me, but it did hurt a bit. But at that moment I resolved to myself one thing: she would not break me. I would not get depressed, and I would not resort to the ever-so-tempting razor blade that taunted me every time I entered the bathroom. I had to keep my cool; hold my cover. Never would a girl, much less Mara, break me.
Because, honestly, I had had much worse.
