Don't Break My Heart (A BajanCanadian Fanfiction)

Chapter 36 ~ Mitch

Sorry for not updating! Here you are! It's a short chapter though... :(

~~~{Destiny's P.O.V}~~~

I sighed and sat down at the base of the tree. I ran away for hours. Or at least it seemed like hours.

I ran away until my legs were too sore to continue.

You know that saying, "Don't run from your problems?"

Well, I failed that.

I didn't want to just sit here forever (well, I did, but I needed food) so I texted Jerome.

Hey Jerome. Apparently I'm in the forest right next to the Taco Bell. Can u pick me up? I'll explain in the car. Sorry.

He texted back immediately.

Mitch and I were so worried about you! I'm on my way. I'm not going to tell Mitch where I'm going, because you probably don't want him knowing where you are.

I smiled, grateful that Jerome was always there for me as a friend, even after our fights and our relationship.

I wanted to close my eyes more than anything, but I refused to close them and succumb to the powers of sleep. I had to stay awake until Jerome found me. I had to.

Before long, I heard Jerome's shouts ringing around the forest.

"Destiny! Where are you? Destiny!"

"I'm here," I shouted back weakly.

Then I blacked out.

~~~{~}~~~

 I woke up on Jerome's bed. I opened my eyes and saw Jerome editing a video on his computer.

"Jerome?"

Instantly, Jerome turned to me and looked at me worriedly. "Destiny! Are you okay? Do you have a headache?"

"Jerome, I'm fine. Stop worrying. What happened?"

"You fell asleep and I picked you up and I brought you here."

"Where's Mitch?" I asked.

"He told me to look for you," Jerome responded. "I pretended to, but I said I couldn't find you. Then I came back here. Mitch is here, right now. Alia's talking to him so he doesn't come in here."

I sat up, alarmed. "Mitch is here?!!!"

Jerome nodded. Suddenly, I heard Alia's unnaturally loud voice:

"Why are you going to go into Jerome's room?" She yelled. Mitch said something that I couldn't hear, and then Alia screamed, "Why are you going into Jerome's room?!!"

"Quick! Hide!" Jerome hissed.

I burrowed under the covers and Jerome got up, moving over to the bed to smooth out the covers.

He barely had enough time to sit back in his chair (his chair making a loud squeak,) before....

Mitch opened the door and came into the room.
