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

Chapter Sixteen

Previously;
"My dad, Jerome. He's here and he was with Fabian." I said as the tears started flowing. "Your brother?" He asked softly. "No. Fabian Rutter." I said. Jerome shot his head up off mine. I looked up to him and Amber looked at him in realisation. "Do you think-maybe that Fabian, Fabian Rutter is your brother?" He asked delicately.

Now;
"What?!" I exclaimed to Jerome. "I would notice. I would know. Plus his name is Rutter not L/N!" I said, getting confused. "Y/N, I would've noticed too but I didn't and I've been with him here for so long." Amber poped in. "Shut up, Amber!" I yelled. Jerome tightened his grip on me to comfort me as I began to cry into his chest. "Just look into it, Y/N." Amber said then left us alone.  "Maybe we should investigate first. And you should involve amber because if he is your brother then he's her cousin too." Jerome said sweetly. I nodded against his chest. "But we can stay here for a little while." He soothed.

"Amber, help me look into Fabian?" I asked as I entered the lounge where she sat alone. "Yes, Y/N. I'm not mad at you yelling at me by the way. I understand." She told me and gave me a hug. I apologised as well to be sure.

We instantly shot up to our room and started digging on my dad. Where he could've gone, where he stayed, why he went. We found out them all. We kept searching and searching until finally we found that we believed Fabian is my brother. He is my brother. I thought. "Y/N, it's ok. Now we need to ask Fabian." Amber said. "No. I can't tell him. He might not know or understand. I need to hang out with him more to be sure first!" I said loudly. A knock appeared in our door. Jerome entered. "Hey, ok to come in?" He asked nicely. "Of course!" I said and went over to hug him. We then walked back to amber and told Jerome everything and what I was going to do.

"Hey, Fabian." I said as kindly as possible at the dinner table. He replied and all through the meal we talked while Jerome held my hand under the table with a reassuring squeeze every now and again.
"So Fabian, do you wanna hang out?" I asked him. He nodded. "Would you like to help me with my science project? You're really good at science." He complimented. "As are you. And yes." I said.

We sat in his room for hours. At first researching then writing and now finishing off designing. "This is really good." I told him sweetly. "It is. Thank you." Fabian said as he turned to look at me. We store at each other for a few moments. I was wondering if he knew. I don't know what he was thinking. He coughed. "Shouldn't you spend time with Jerome?" He asked. "Yeah. Well, I spent all day with him and you are my friend so I can spend time with you too." I answered. "Well, we're done and there's only an hour till bed. Maybe you should see Jerome?" He said. "Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow before school." I waved him goodnight and went to Jerome and Alfie's room.

"Hey babe!" Jerome called as I entered his room. He came over to hug me then pecked me on the cheek. "I'll leave you two alone." Alfie smirked and went to leave the room. "Its ok Alfie. I just came to say I found out a lot today and I think tomorrow is the day. Oh and night." I said to Jerome then pecked him on the lips before going to my room.

Jerome's POV:
"What did she mean?" Alfie asked me. "Research for science that she did with Fabian, I think." I answered him even thought I knew she was talking about her knowing he really was her brother.
