[DISCONTINUED] Perhaps A Perfect Match | Jerome Clarke x reader

Chapter four

Jerome's POV:
I ran out the gate after her but couldn't see her. I saw Fabian stood at the gate. "Which way did she go?" I asked in a hurry. "Up there then...Right." he said and I ran that way to find her.

Fabian's POV:
I shouldn't have lied but there's something that stopped me from telling the truth. I don't explain my feelings but I understand them.
I feel the same for Y/N as I do Nina.

Y/N POV:
I just ran fast to the forest then when I got there I slowed down. He didn't follow me. A part of me wanted him to but another part didn't. I continued running for ages then I saw a bench and took a break. I drank almost all my water then stuck my headphones in and ran back to the house at a steady running pace.

When I got back to the house, Amber was stood at the bottom of the stairs. I saw her mouth move but with my headphones, I heard nothing. I pulled them out and paused my song. "Sorry, say that again?" I said. She gave me an evil glare as Jerome walked into the hall followed by Fabian. I soon as I was them, I slightly badged past Amber and went to my room.

When I got there, Amber came running in after me. "You missed dinner! Where have you been?" She forcefully asked. "Out. I played basketball ball and went for a run." I said in reply. She looked me up and down, not in a mean way but as though she was concerned. I left and had a shower then put on my comfy clothes.

It was about nine when I was sat alone in my room and Fabian came in. "Y/N? I don't want to be a bother but what happened with Jerome?" He asked kindly as though he cared. I didn't want to answer. I don't even want to talk about this with Jerome let alone Fabian. "Nothing. I just wanted to go for a run." I replied. "I won't push you but it if you ever want to talk, about anything, I'm always here for you." He said so sweetly with a smile. I smiled back and nodded. I didn't know what else to do. Then he left.

It's a bit early than usual but I'm going bed, without dinner.

The next morning, I woke up to Amber and Nina sitting across from me on Amber's bed. It was Saturday so it was later. "Y/N, we are concerned about your health." Amber pleaded. "Please! What do you have to be concerned about?" I asked while sitting up and sorting my hair. "Y/N, I don't wanna sound rude but you seem to exercise a lot more than normal and you hardly eat." Nina said. "Yeah. And the exercise would be ok if you ate more." Amber continued. "I am fine! I will have a big breakfast ok?" I lied.

When I got downstairs, I had two pieces of toast and started to head back to my room when...
