Hey guys, so I realize that what was supposed to be sad turned into sappy, oh well, good things happen in this chappie. Enjoy

Disclaimer: If I owned HOA all my friends would have stolen it by now. So maybe it's better that I don't.

Arthur hadn't shown his face again, neither had Mick or Joan, probably because I would smash their faces in. But Jerome had told me that his mum was working on her case against John, and that his dad better get a really good lawyer. Jerome had been getting better, turns out Arthur had given Jerome a concussion but other than that he hadn't done too much damage, the doctors had figured out that I would be the one making Jerome follow their instructions so they told me what to do. He was going to have to use crutches for a while but other than that all he had to do was take some medicine.

I visited him nearly everyday, but he had told me that he felt like he was taking up all of my time, so I stopped for a few days. I stayed in my room I guess Jerome could figure that much out from what he knew of me. On Thursday I was doing my homework in my room, I also was trying to summarize my notes so that Jerome wouldn't be to far behind. My bedroom door creaked open, and suddenly a dirty-blonde be-crutched figure stood in front of me. I dropped my pen and rushed to him; showering his face in kisses, I put my hands on either side of his face. Looking at his eyes in pure bliss. I pulled him onto my bed (don't get any ideas, they're to innocent) we sat on the bed with his arm draped around my shoulders notes and homework forgotten talking about anything and everything.

"Mara you know what I realized in the hospital? We haven't gone on an actual date yet! You want to go out to lunch tomorrow?" It was abrupt, but I understood. I agreed and we parted ways. He went to go say hi to the rest of the housemates. After that I'm pretty sure he took off his jacket and emptied his pockets, then I think he found an unfamiliar folded piece of paper, then I think he opened it and smiled as he read the words I wrote,

"I 3 U, you're not worthless to me, and don't you forget it!"

AN: next chapter will be less sappy, more courtroom action, and more family-oriented. Might be a little late so I wanted to give you a filler chapter I know it's short but I like it so really, who gives a damn? 3 u all. Review!
