Shanice's Pov

I Heard Something Smash and I was Worried About Jerome so I decided to check on him. I don't care how mad he was at me he is still my brother. I walked in his room and was disgusted by what I saw. Jerome was trying to cut himself. "JEROME WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" I grabbed the glass from his hand. He was silent. "Why were you trying to cut yourself?" he didn't reply he just sat there in silence. Tears began to form in his eyes but he held them in but I didn't, I let them fall freely. "Jerome I am so Sorry For hurting you like this, I didn't know it would come to this extent." I grabbed him and gave him a hug."Jerome I am truly sorry" I whispered in his ear. "It's okay" "No it isn't okay..I am Causing you so much pain and I can't bare to see you like this, you're my brother I am not gonna sit back and watch you fall to peices" I released myself from the hug "Jerome, I think you need to see someone" "A psycatrist?..do you really think I am that crazy?" "No Jerome I don't..I just think you need to talk to someone you've got a lot on your plate and it's time you cleared it." "and tell them what? 'I am in love with a girl who happens to be my sister'? " He was right that wasn't the best idea. "well mom will be back soon and she can't come back and see you like this" he sighed. "I'm fine and I'll be fine when mom's back, I don' t need to speak to anyone" I sighed "Jerome please stop trying to hurt yourself because of me" I pleaded. "You are my brother and I love you, you are also my best friend and best friends talk to eachother so I need you to talk to me..Okay?" he sighed "Okay...can we please just put this all behind us please? and just go back to how it was berfore?" "yeah of course, I miss how we were before, I miss us." "So do I. This whole thing was just a big regretful mistake" "I know what you mean. So are you okay?" "I'm fine" "Good..So I was thinking; maybe we can watch a movie together like old times?" "Um, sure why not" "Good..Okay so you go get the popcorn ready while I clean all this glass up" I said "Sure" This whole love thing was ruining us and I can't stand by and watch. I was determined to make things better again. Jerome wasn't well, he needed to talk to someone, he could pretend as much he wanted that he's fine but I know Jerome and I know that he isn't, he's always been there for me now it's my turn I am going to help him before it is too late.

* 1 week later *

Mom would be back from thailand later on today and everything seemed normal with me and jerome, how it was before she had left but I can't forget what had happened. My conscience was haunted by guilt. Jerome and I were just hanging out together in my room watching a DVD and the guilt wouldn't leave me alone. Jerome needed to talk to someone, I knew it and so did he, as much as he denies it; he needs help. "Jerome I think you need to talk to someone about everything what happened?" he did a long stressful sigh "I'm fine, I don't need to speak to anyone" "I know you say you're fine but things like that don't just go away..I think it's best you tell someone how you are really feeling" "What am I supposed to say to them, I can't tell them I fell in love with my sister and tried to kill myself" "well I thought about all of that; you can just say you had a girlfriend who you loved very much but she didn't feel the same way and It got to you..tell them what you tried to do..just tell them anything, I just need you to talk to someone" It is better he talks than to keep it all bottled up inside, he'll explode if he does. "Please" he sighed "I'll think about it" I gave him a kiss on the cheek "Thank you" although it wasn't a definite yes I got him to consider it "well if you do decide to talk to someone, I found this guy; Dr Smith. I hear he is the best, I wrote his number down on my phone." I copied down the number on a peice of paper and handed it to him. "Here, just in case you do decide to give him a try". After that it was silent and not the comfortable one either "So what time do you have to pick mum up" completely changing the subject because the tension and awkwardness was killing me "6.00" "Oh so do you want me to come with you?" "you are coming, you don't have any choice in that" he joked "Do you really think I'm going to drive for an hour without any company" "and what if I don't feel like comin? what if I want you to be all alone?" I teased "Like I said before you don't have a choice in the matter" "Ugh" he chuckled. I actually did want to go but it was fun teasing him.

"Mom!" I was happy to see my mom as I was really starting to miss her. She greeted us with a warm hug. Jerome tried to act all cool like he didn't reallly care that mom was home but I could tell how excited he was. "I missed you guys" "yeah right, in the nice hot sun on an tropical island, you didn't miss anybody" she chuckled "Wow I forgot how cold england could be Its freezing" I smirked and Jerome chuckled "So mom, what did you bring back for me" "Ugh" I hit Jerome on his lower arm. He could be so annoying at times. "What?" "Mom comes back from thailand after weeks and the first thing you say to her is 'what did you get me' ". "So" "Ugh..how are we related?" I could see my mom found this all amusing "I can see nothing's changed while I've been gone" little does she know. I chuckled nervously and we helped put her luggage in the boot of the car. We were finally home after a long drive. Before we had left I had cooked mom some dinner because I know how horrible plane food can be. "Thanks Shan that was delecious" "Mom don't let her fool you, I did all the work" Jerome lied. "What work did you do other than take the chicken out of the freezer?" he laughed "That was hard work" "Jerome shut up" he laughed and I laughed too but not with him, only at his stupidity. "So what's for dessert?" Ugh he could be such a pig, I really forgot how annoying he could be. Mom and I just chuckled and ignored him. Then I started to sing along to 'Jessie J - Price Tag' Then realised it was my phone ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hi, It's Rachel" Rachel? The name sounded familiar but I couldn't quite put a finger on it

"Could you remind me where I know you from?"

"I met you about 3 weeks ago in the mall..I am the women who surprising looks like you" Oh yeah my minds been all over the place recently, I forgot all about her.

"Oh..Hi Rachel, how is everything?"

"Um It's Okay..my daughter and I are going out for lunch tomorrow and I was wondering if you would like to come, you can bring your mother if you like then you wont have complete strangers with you for company"

"I don't think that would be a problem, I'll ask my mom"

"Okay, I'll call you back in about 15minutes"

"Yeah okay, bye"

"Bye"

"Who was that?" My mom asked out of curiousity "well it's a long story but I've got 15mins to get through it all." I could tell she was confused by the look she gave me. "Okay" She dragged the 'O'. "Well go ahead and explain" She finished.
