Centuries - A Jerome ASF FanFiction [CANCELED]

Chapter 7 - Home

March 6th 2015

We walk out to the rental car place and rent one, Jerome still holding my hand. I let go and get in the car, driver's seat. He pouts and says "I wanna drive" in a little kid voice. I roll my eyes as he gets in the passenger side "You don't even know where were going" I say. We drive out of the airport and onto the freeway. I start getting sad as I drive into the neighborhood seeing all of my childhood memories.

We drive in a peaceful silence. I pull up to our house, it was Saturday so everyone should be home. I take in a deep breath and get out of the car, Jerome walks over to me and grabs my hand. We walk to the front door and I knock. I hear some footsteps and my sister Sharon, 15 years old, opens the door. Her mouth drops and she drops the TV remote she was holding I see my dad walks out to see and sees me.

He walks over and yells "Emiko, Alex get over here" they come over and my mom bursts into tears at the sight of me. Alex runs over and hugs me. Me being only 5'6" he was only a few inches shorter. Sharon was taller than me. I hug him back and say "I missed you" in his ear. My dad comforts my mom and says "Where did you go?" I pull something out of my bag, a stapled packet. I hand it to him.

It has my information from the city halls. I speak up "I kept moving, sleeping in ally ways, not eating, it was brutal but it made me stronger" my mom comes over and looks at my tattoo covered arms. She gasps "How could you do this to your skin?" I sigh and say "It was my choice it shows my travels." I realize Jerome is standing behind me. I step back "This is my friend Jerome, he met me in Montreal which is where I am officially living now" I say.

My brother's eyes widen and Jerome smiles. Sharon picks up the TV remote and says the only thing I had the awnser to "Why did you leave?" I breath in. I say "let's go inside" I say. I walk in Jerome following. I sit in my chair that I had spent so many hours in, Alex frowns and says "That's my seat" he says. I laugh and say "I believe this is the chair I did homework in for how many years?" he frowns and Jerome sits on the couch.

Once everyone was seated I started "I left because of you" I say to both of my parents "You didnt notice me, I got so many awards, I lost count. My grade never dropped below 90% I tried so hard to get your attention, when you started paying attention to Sharon I gave up. When Taylor moved away I was a mess you didn't notice. The only thing you saw of me was my grades. I left without you guys knowing, I only told Alex."

My parents speak "We didn't know" my dad says. I frown "Of corse you didn't know you didn't pay attention" I say bitterly. My mom opens her mouth but then closes her mouth. I calm down, "I didn't leave you completely" I say I stand up and show her my wrist tattoo of her name. She gasps and says "Is that my name?" I nod. "It was my first tattoo I got it the day after I left" I say.

We talk a bit more and then my parents have to take Sharon to violin lessons. I agree to watch Alex and they leave, we go to his room (us being me, Alex and Jerome). I walk in and I see soccer equipment in one corner, a bed in another, computer and desk in another and dirty clothes in the other. I smile and say "You do soccer?" he nods "I have practice after Sharon gets home." I nod.

Jerome walks over to his shelf and looks at all the Minecraft stuff, then sees a poster. Alex talks to us and then they go on the computer, I get out Jerome's laptop and bring it to him. They play until my parents get home, then Alex gets ready for soccer. He begged Jerome to go so he did. I went to Sharon's room and she looked so out of place.

Her in a nice shirt and jeans was surrounded by punk-rock pop-punk band posters and I walked up to an All Time Low poster and said "I love all of these bands" I hear her jump and laugh "You do? Or are you lying" I said "Ask me questions" she smirked and said "What is the name of All Time Low's new not out album". I smile and say "Future Hearts" sitting across from her on her bed.

I ask her "Why do you play the violin?" She sighed "To get attention" she says my eyes widen. "You didn't know it but mom and dad have always compared me to you, Logan was always perfect A's Logan never got in trouble. I was tired of being compared to you." I smile and say "It's fine, what instrument do you really want to play?" I ask her.

She smiles and says "Guitar" I smile. This might not be as bad as I thought it would be.

I spent the rest of the afternoon with Sharon while Jerome, and my parents were at Alex's soccer practice. I talk to her and say that I play the guitar but I left it at home, we talk and I find out that she was jealous of how perfect I was before I left. My response was "Well, now your the perfect child because I haven't gone to college, I ran away, and I've covered myself in tattoos." she smiles and says "When you go back can we keep in touch?" I smile and say yes.

We listen to Pierce the Veil in headphones and so when they get home we don't here them were both screaming the lyrics pretty loud when Jerome walks in and looks at us funny. We turn off the music and laugh at him, he smiles and says "Logan, I wanna go to the hotel" whining.

I sigh "Give us a sec. meet me in the car." I say. She turns to me as I grab my stuff "Are you guys dating?" I look at her shocked "No, why?" she smiles and says "You would make a good couple." I laugh "See you tomorrow Sharon" she nods putting on her music again. I go into Alex's room to find him with headphones on watching a YouTube video. I tap his shoulder and he turns around. Smiling, he pauses the video.

I playfully hit his shoulder "I come all the way from Canada to see you and you spend more time with who I brought than me" I say. He laughs I smile and say "See you tomorrow Jerome's begging for me to take him to the hotel." he smiles and hugs me "I missed you" he says I smile and hug back.

I walk out to the car thinking about these last 3 years. I haven't been the best roll model for my little siblings, I ran away I got a lot of tattoos I'm gonna have to talk to both of them about that. I get in the car and hand Jerome his laptop saying "You were going to forget that" he smiles and says "Thank you, now onwards peasant" I laugh and drive us to the hotel. We get to the small room at around 9 it has one bed, one very small bath and one small kitchen.

I set down my stuff and so does Jerome, he's about to jump on the bed when I stop him. "If I'm gonna sleep in that bed your taking a shower." I say. He whines "But I'm not that bad!" I roll my eyes "If you don't shower your sleeping on the floor." I say, that shut him up. He gets his pajamas and goes to the bathroom.

I set up his laptop for him and see that Mitch is calling. I answer and put on video chat, his face pops up. I smile and say "Hey" he smiles and says "How did it go?" I laugh and say "My mom burst into tears, my sister dropped the TV remote my dad was almost speechless and my brother hugged me." I say "Oh and me andmy sisster have a lot in common.". He smiles "Jane says hi she wishes she could be there." I sigh "Yeah, I booked a one bed apartment I have to sleep with a dirty stinking bacca." I say.

Jerome walks out of the bathroom in his pajamas and says "Hey, I'm not dirty you just made me shower!" he says. I roll my eyes and get up, grabbing my pajamas and walking into the bathroom I shower and put on my clothes, when I get back out Jerome is setting up his recording gear. I lay on the bed as he records a mini game with the pack.

He finishes and edits the video at 1 in the morning he jumps on the bed and I put down my book, groaning. He laughs and crawls under the covers, next to me. I scoot away and turn off the lamp, instead of going back next to him I stayed away, facing the opposite way. I feel an arm wraps around my waist and he pulls me twoards him. I pout and say "Hey, I was fine where I was!"

He laughs and says "I thought you said we could cuddle" putting his face in my neck. I roll my eyes and say "I never said that" he replys from my neck "You never said no" I sigh. I surprise him by turning over where I'm facing him. I make myself comfortable and fall asleep.
