Rosie's One-Shots

Merome: Appreciated

|Jerome's POV|

"Why, Mitch? I loved her. I loved her so damn much! Why would she cheat on me like that?" I cried into Mitch's shoulder. "Shh, she wasn't right for you. It's okay." He whispered, rubbing circles on my back to try to help me calm down.

My girlfriend -well, ex now- had just called and told me there was someone else, and that she was done with me. I'd been with her for two years. And now, here I was, crying into Mitch because he was the only one who cared. Thank God for him, I couldn't live without him.

Once I stopped crying and calmed down enough, Mitch pushed me away from him so he could see my face. "You'll be okay, biggums. I promise. She wasn't the one for you, if she can't see how perfect you are." He said, and then I saw him blush as he thought over his words. Perfect? "Thank you so much, Mitch. I couldn't survive without you." I said, smiling as much as I could. "Of course, anytime biggums. Now why don't you get some sleep, it's been a long night. Goodnight Jerome, see you in the morning." He said, giving me another hug and getting up and waking out of my bedroom.

I flopped onto my bed and stared at the ceiling. I was lucky to have someone like Mitch. Someone always there for me, someone to lean on. Someone who loves me. And someone that I love back.

Why don't you wait here while I borrow something you said, that you should follow, oh. If they just stay, age till tomorrow, then that's okay, hates only sorrow, oh.

<<Time Skip>>

I survived my first few days of heartbreak thanks to Mitch. He was there right when I needed him. I'm doing okay now, I'm recovering from the pain I felt that night.

I was looking around the house, trying to find Mitch, when I heard a voice from the basement. I walked downstairs to see Mitch on the phone with someone as he paced back and forth. I watched, he seemed upset and sad at whoever he was talking too. "Look, Preston, I don't know. Rob loves you just as much as you love him, I guarantee it." Mitch said, rolling his eyes as he said so. "Okay. Goodbye, good luck Preston. See you later dood." Mitch hung up and sighed. I was about to go talk to him, but the phone rang again. He glanced at the caller ID and then glared at it. Then he chucked his phone at the wall, not even caring about breaking it. Mitch then collapsed onto the couch, curling up into a ball, and I could see the tears in his eyes.

"Mitch?" I asked, finally stepping fully into the basement where he could see me. "J-Jerome, go away." He mumbled, turning away from me. "What's wrong biggums?" I asked, jumping onto the couch next to him. "N-Nothing. Just leave me a-alone." He responded. I pulled him up closer to me and pulled his hands away from his face. "C'mon, Mitch, what's wrong?" I asked again. "Nothing you need to w-worry about." He answered. "Mitch, you're clearly upset, so I need to worry. I worry about you, Mitch. I care about you." I told him, and he looked up at me, caramel eyes wide.

Cause it's you who takes care of everyone else, you need to allow me to help, you are appreciated. Cause it's you who somehow is always the first to take care of me at my worst, you are appreciated.

Mitch stared at me for a moment, but then looked away and shook his head. "No. I'm okay." He said. "Mitch, I'm not letting you off that easy. Just tell me, I can help you." I told him. He glanced back to me for a moment before sighing. "Fine. You really want to know? Rob likes Preston, and Preston likes Rob, but Rob's convinced that Preston loves Brandon. But Brandon likes Mat. And Mat likes Brandon. And then there's just Vikklan, who like each other, but Lachlan thinks Vikk likes Preston. And then there's just Brandon, who thinks Mat loves you, even though Mat knows that I love you, but Brandon doesn't know that. Plus, your girlfriend just broke up with you, your stressed, I'm trying to make sure the fangirls are happy with there ships, but I can't do anything about ours because you don't love me the same way. So the ships are pretty much real but they're all standing in the way of each other." Mitch went on and on about Poofless and Vikklan and NoochZaHutt liking each other and what not, but I zoned out a bit after a few certain words. "That I love you" and "You don't love me the same way." Mitch had said.

"Whoa, Mitch." I said, finally shitting him up. "Oh, and please don't tell any of them what I just told you. They'd literally kill me." Mitch pleaded, and I nodded. "I have a solution to this problem." I said, and Mitch looked surprised. "Really?" He asked hopefully. "Yep. Just get one of the ships together, and the rest will follow suit." I said. "That's harder then it sounds. These guys don't easily change their minds." Mitch sighed. "Well, we'll make them."

It's just today, hey, there's tomorrow. All things will change, hey, that's the motto. When you're down be down, when you're up be up. I will pull you up, cause without a doubt, the tables turn around, you pick me off the ground.

"Besides," Mitch continued, "Not all the couples can actually happen." He mumbled, more to himself then me. "Sure they can." I insisted. "No, not really." he said. "Preston likes Rob, vice versa. Vikklan likes each other. Mat and Brandon are practically a couple already. You love me, and I love you. What's the problem?" I asked. He looked at me and opened his mouth to protest, but no sound came out. "Wha- huh?" He looked at me in disbelief, like I was a ghost. "If we get together, that unblocked the road for Mat and Brandon. Which proves to Rob that Preston doesn't like Brandon, so they'll get together. And then that leaves Lachlan go be with Vikk, who doesn't like Preston because Preston's with Rob. Problems solved." I finished, and Mitch still had a look of shock on his face. "I... You... Me?" He stuttered. "You and me?" I asked, to which he nodded. "You wanna make the fangirls happy, Mitch?" I grinned. He slowly nodded again. "Kay then." I pulled him up into my lap and pressed my lips on his. He was surprised at first, but then melted into me. After a while, we backed away, Mitch all flustered but smiling. "I think the fangirls would enjoy that." He said. "I agree. So... #Merome?" I asked sheepishly. "If you want it Jerome. I don't want to rush you into anything... you only broke up a few days ago." He answered. "I don't care about her. I have you now. I love you." I told him, quickly pecking his lips. "I love you too." he smiled.

We sat there for a moment, before he looked up at me again. "What do we do now?" He asked. "Well, Mitch," I said, picking him up and carrying him to the computer in the basement. "I think we get this plan going. Call up Brandon and tell him I've got you. And that Nooch can't have me. We're going to make a lot of teenage girls happy."

Cause it's you who takes care of everyone else, you need to allow me to help, you are appreciated. Cause it's you who somehow is always the first to take care of me at my worst, you are appreciated.
