Confusion~ A Merome Story

Chapter 12: Only You?

Jerome-
"Goodbye." I mutter and board the plane. I miss him already. Even if he doesn't feel the same.

My phone vibrates.
I'm Sorry. I've driven you away. Good Luck with your next love- Mitch.
I let a tear run down my face.

Mitch-
I message Jerome. I flick up my phone and search 'Flight Tickets.' Flights have been delayed because of volcanic eruption.

1 WEEK LATER

1 New Message From Bacca

Hey, Mitch. I've fallen into a deep depression and I don't think I can climb out of it. I'm not finding anyone else to love, it's only you I love. This might be my last message. Goodbye.❤️
I run onto the plane. 3 hour flight. Shit.

3 hour skip
I arrive, I know his address because if you tap the message it tells you were its sent from.

I knock, no answer. I look through the letterbox. Jerome has a razor at his veins. Crying. I kick once.

"GO AWAY!" Jerome cries out.

I kick full force making the door fall making Jerome flinch and cut.

"NO!" I scream.

"W-why?" He asks as I search through the kitchen for bandages. I find them and help Jerome.

His cheeks soaked with tears. I rub his fur.

"Jerome I don't care if you don't take me back, I don't care if you hate me. I don't deserve you. Don't kill yourself." I instruct him.

I tell him not to kill himself but if this was me, I'd do this. Jerome cups my cheeks in his hands and I melt as I feel his lips connect with mine.

It was the kiss I'd never forget.
The kiss that would make me fall for
Jerome Aceti all over again.

"I love you Mitch." He said.

"I love you too Jerome." I said.
