Death Sounds Like A Melody (Merome)

Chapter 14 - Silent love

Hey guys! Sorry this was late! I was on a holiday.

Do you like the new cover I made? :)

Please read the note at the end of this.

Mitch's POV

I wake up to the sun in my eyes and a small smile on my face. I look around a little to see that I'm still reading against Jerome's sexy bare chest, his arms wrapped loosely around my small frame. Memories of last night flood through my mind, making me bite my lip. Yep, Jerome definitely passes the trust test. His body is so sexy and beautiful, I'm so ugly compared to him. I can't believe that he is mine now. All mine. Something actually went right for one in my miserable life.

Suddenly, Jerome kisses the top of my head. I whip my head up to see him looking back at me. I smile tiredly. "Morning beautiful." He says softly, hand playing with my hair. I giggle lightly. "Morning sexy." I reply. He laughs a little and kisses me lightly. The innocent kiss suddenly turns into more then Jerome intended.

I sit up on Jerome and straddle his waist, French kissing him. I moan a little every now and again as he runs his hands up and down my naked body. His touch sends tingles through my body, making me shiver. Then I realise. ITS CHRISTMAS!!

I abruptly pull away from the kiss, a smile spreading on my face. Jerome looks confused. "Merry Christmas." I state, slightly giddy. Jerome then smiles too, realising the occasion. "Merry Christmas." He says, kissing me for a moment. He sighs and sits up, pulling away. "We gotta go meet up at Robs place." He whispers in my ear, making me shiver. I nod, sigh and get off of him and jump in the shower, it really hurts my ass too.

Preston lives in the city with Rob. I've never been there before and neither has Jerome. By the sounds of it, them two are like brothers. Since I'm gay though, I have a magical thing called a gay-dar. It's where I have the rainbow power of picking out fellow gays. And I know the two of them are a thing. It may be oblivious to the others, but I can see 'straight' through them. Haha, I'm so PUNNY! Ok, imma shut up now.

Anyway, as I said, Preston and Rob are gay. They don't know I know though. I honestly have no idea why they haven't come out to everyone yet. Vikklan, setosolace and Jerome and I have, so why haven't they? Maybe it has something to do with Preston. He did say he tried to kill himself a couple years ago, perhaps this has something to do with it. I wonder why he hasn't told me the reason why he tried to do that in the first place? I've told the group my life story for crying out loud!

And Lachlan, whats his story? He shows me his scars on my first day, and I've never known the reason. I understand that they may not want to say anything as a way to trigger me, but I'm worried about them.

But...what if no one else knows about the both of their depressions? The way the two of them were hiding their scares makes me feel like they haven't told any of them yet. And since Preston is a drama student, he can easily hide his emotions.

Suddenly, someone cuddles me from behind in the shower. I jump a little but then relax when I realise it's Jerome. The two of us stand in naked silence in the shower, nothing but the drops of water breaking the silence. It's a nice silence. I get way too deep into things. "What you thinking about?" He asks softly, bitting my neck lightly. I bite my lip and sigh, leaning into Jerome's chest.

"I'm not sure if you know this, but Lachlan is a cutter as well and Preston has tried to commit suicide." I say, looking up to Jerome. He shakes his head, looking straight ahead. "No, I never knew. Why would they do that though?" He asks, looking me in the eyes. I frown and look back down at my small feet.
