Hey guys, so to make up for my absence I am posting another chapter. Thanks to all those who reviewed (GMWfan23 (especially you, I am so sorry for not writing, you are one of my favourite reviewers), emwood, Saffy, Jasmine) it really means alot to me. Now on with the story.

They were only centimeters apart, they started to lean in. Their lips were only inches apart when...

Mara quickly pulled away "You know what, I think that's enough tutoring for night. Same time tomorrow cool" she said as she quickly hurrying out of the room completely forgetting about the mess. Jerome still stood there trying to process what just happened.

Little did they know but someone saw the whole thing, and that person was sensing a very strong love aura coming from both of them. Willow ran past Jerome so she could speak to Mara. When she got to Mara's room it was locked, "Mara can you please let me in" Willow asked, Mara slowly got up from her bed, pretending like nothing happened and opened the door. I mean it's not like she saw it or anything Mara said to herself.

"So Mara" Willow said sitting down "What was all that about down stairs", "What are you talking about" Mara said worried that Willow had seen what happened. "Mara I know when someone is in love, and it's clearly you." Willow replied, smiling.

Suddenly Mara did something very unexpected, she put her head in her lap and cried, "Oh no Mara you're crying, why are you crying, now I am sad" Willow babbled, "I'm a terrible friend" Mara sniffed, "What? how are you a terrible friend" Nina asked confused. "I'm in love with my best friends ex-boyfriend".

"Hey, it's ok, you actually have the right to like Jerome" Willow said, "What do you mean". "Well you did go out with him, he cheated on you, so you had to end the relationship. That doesn't mean that you didn't stop loving him. Joy started going out with him after you started loving him." Nina replied as if it was obvious.

"Right. But that doesn't help my main problem. I mean I've tried to stop loving him but I just can't. And I can't be with him it would break Joy's heart" Mara said.

Then Willow said something very un-Willow like "Like she broke yours"

Jerome was downstairs cleaning up the mess that he and Mara had made. A million thoughts were running through his head, he was as confused as ever. He was so close to kissing Mara, but she had run away from him. Why are you so surprised, you've hurt her before, and now she wants nothing to do with you he said to himself.

He then heard someone come through the door, it turned out to be Joy, just the person he really didn't want to see. "Woah, what exploded in here?" she asked, 'My heart' he thought, but didn't dare say aloud. "Me and Alfie just had food fight" he lied, "Oh, okay" Joy walked past Jerome, and grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge, "Well night Jerome" she smiled at him and walked away. "Night" he replied, and continued cleaning.

Nina and Fabian were sitting outside on a blanket having a picnic, Fabian turned to face Nina, "You look beautiful tonight" he told her, Nina blushed. "You know Fabian, you've changed alot since I was gone" she told him, "How so?" he asked.

"Well when I first met you, you were Stutter Rutter, you would blush and you were shy and quiet. But now you are the 18 year old, confident, no more stutter rutter Fabian" she replied "Which don't get me wrong, I love. But sometimes I feel like I can physically see the year I was away".

"Nina let's just put all of that behind us okay. I love you. I never stopped, and I never will" Fabian brushed his slightly cracked lips across her soft pink ones. "You only went away to protect us, and as soon a you found a loophole you came straight back. I don't know about you but to me that means something. Everyone in Anubis loves you, even Joy. And even if they didn't I would." He kissed the top of her head. "You are mine and I am yours, that's all that matters"

Nina threw herself at him, and hugged him so tightly, she didn't need to have a full make-out session to show him how much she loved him. A simple hug explained their relationship completely. Simple yet Passionate.

"I love you so much"

"I love you" Eddie said to his girlfriend, as they laid on his bed, because Fabian was out with Nina. Patricia rolled her eyes "You're such a sap" but then a second later she added "I love you too", Eddie chuckled. "You know just how to make a boy feel wanted", Patricia glared playfully at him, Eddie just laughed and kissed her.

"Ahh you just made me remember the time you told Joy you liked me, and then after you didn't admit it." Eddie said, smirking. "Shut up" Patricia said glaring and blushing at the same time, "You're the one who was basically begging for me to go out with you".

Eddie stuck his tongue at her, "Oh and remember that time I took you on that trust exercise" "Yeah…" Eddie replied not liking where this was going. "Well I actually took you through the tunnels so you could help with one of the tasks. And let's just say all of Sibuna heard you confess your feelings for me" Patricia

Eddie was shocked, "That was payback" she laughed, "Wait so you're saying that Fabian, Nina, Amber and Alfie heard what I said to you", "Yep". "But it was sweet" Patricia kissed him, "It was, wasn't it" Eddie said looking proud of himself. Patricia swatted him on the chest, "Okay, now you are just being cocky". Eddie laughed, "Only for you, Yacker"

Mara was woken up by her alarm and she was very tired as she didn't get a lot of sleep. She couldn't stop thinking about her almost kiss with Jerome and what Willow had said. She got up and went to have a shower. She let all her thoughts wash away with the water, as she washed her hair with her frangipani shampoo that Jerome had said he had loved. Back when they were a couple.

Mara got out of the shower and got dressed, she walked back into her room and saw that Patricia and Nina were still asleep, It was only 6:30. She shook her head, then grabbed her bag and walked downstairs. When she got there, she saw that Jerome was there which was strange because it was very early. She walked to her seat, not daring to look at him. They sat there for awhile in silence.

Finally Jerome decided to break it, "Look Mara about last night-" but he was cut off by Mara, "What about last night?" she asked pretending she didn't know. "You know the almost kiss" Jerome replied, "What almost kiss, that never happened. And let's keep it that way. Okay?" she looked at him directly in the eyes. "Okay"

Just at that moment the others came in to have breakfast, "Morning Mara" Willow said sitting next to her. "Hey Willow" Mara replied, "Did you think about what I said last night?" Willow asked, "Yeah, I did and I have decided that I am not going to be with Jerome. It will hurt Joy too much. She went through a lot when she was with Fabian and I don't want to hurt her even more. Even if that means giving up my happiness" Mara replied.

"You're a very selfless person, Mara. I admire you" Willow said, "Yeah well I know, what it will feel like if I be with Jerome". Mara then picked up her bag and walked out the door. What she said was easier said than done.

So did you like the chapter?. Anyway review what you think. I do really hope I will update this, but I don't know about future me. Bye, Kisses.
