We heard Jerome sigh loudly, and go up the stairs. Dinner was still going on, and everyone was watching Jerome's every move as he walked up the stairs. When I heard a door close, I got up and sneaked up the stairs, all eyes on me. I pressed my ear against the door, but couldn't hear, so I got my eavesdropping kit. I put this together one night I was locked out of my mom's room. I heard "New baby" and freaked out. So I knew it worked. I pulled out my stethescope. Put the thingies in my ears, and put the other thing up to the door. I found the weak point in the door and listened. I focused in on their conversation.
"Does he really think all that about me?" rang the depressed voice of Nina.
"I'm sor-" Jerome started only to be cut off by Nina.
"No, don't be. I don't want pity, nor do I want sympathy. I just want an easy going life. See, I got into 5 fights at school, for being teased and kicking their ass. So I got expelled from 5 schools. Joy's probably going to be next if she keeps going at it! Jerome how come I just can't have a healthy relationship woth guys other girls like, without being called a ho! What's wrong am I ugly!"
"Nina don't say that! You're beautiful, because we're in the same family! A good healthy relationship will some to you soon, now go to your mirror, fix yourself and Joy take your ass away from the door!" Damn! My breathing hitched as Jerome opened the door. My face flushed a red color, and I grinned embarraassdly as Jerome gave me a dirty look. I scampered away from the door and sat on my bed. Then heard Nina singing next door.
"'Remamber all the things we wanted Now all our memories they're haunted We were always meant to say goodbye Even with our fists held high It never wouldh've worked out right We were never meant for do or die I didn't want us to burn out I didn't come here to hold, now I can't stop'"
I heard footsteps and saw the other 7 of my housemates rush into my room and leaned their ears against my wall.
"'I want you to know that it doesn't matter Where we take this road someone's gotta go And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better But I want you to move on so I'm already gone'"
Everyone had a look of shock on their face, including me! We knew she was good that day in the music store, but this is amazing, even I have to admit! Jerome looked the least shocked. I recognized the song as Kelly Clarkson's Already Gone
"'Looking at you makes it harder But I know that you'll find another That doesn't always make you want to cry Started with a perfect kiss then We could feel the poison set in Perfect couldn't keep this love alive You know that I love you so I love you enough to let you go'"
The voice continued on filling me with mixed emotions. I still hate this bitch, but God her voice! It's just too amazing to hate!
"'I want you to know that it doesn't matter Where we take this road someone's gotta go And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better But I want you to move on so I'm already gone'"
The bridge came along and my eyes were starting to water. Soft, shocked expressions were on everyone's faces and Alfie and Amber started slow dancing.
"'I'm already gone, already gone You can't make it feel right when you know that it's wrong I'm already gone, already gone There's no moving on so I'm already gone Already gone, already gone, already gone Already gone, already gone, already gone, yeah'"
Amber and Alfie continued dancing with Amber's head on Alfie's chest. I smiled at how cute they were then focused back on the music.
"'Remember all the things we wanted Now all our memories, they're haunted We were always meant for goodbye I want you to know that it doesn't matter Where we take this road someone's gotta go And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better But I want you to move on so I'm already gone I'm already gone, already gone You can't make it feel right when you know it's so wrong I'm already gone, already gone There's no moving on so I'm already gone'"
She finished out with a bang as did Alfie and Amber. I turned around one last time to see Alfie tiwrl Amber and dip her. They kissed and we awwed.
"Uhhhh, what's going on here?" asked Nina's voice fcrom the doorway. A startled Alfie dropped Amber.
"Dude she's fragile!" shouted Mick. He jumped over to Amber and helped up his sister. I grinned at the moment. When I turned back around, Nina was right next to Fabian flirting. Then before I knew it, they were already gone.
