Special Chapter: Diana & Jerome

A little chapter for you guys! I haven't updated HOA: Hidden Chambers yet since I'm currently working on the next chapters. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

The day after our graduation and party, we had our last chance to wake up at the house, to eat, and talk not only to us seniors but also to the lower classmen. We shared our stories with them and made sure the legacy for Sibuna doesn't stop on us.

After double-checking my boxes and luggage in my room, Jerome entered. "Can I talk to you for a minute?" he asked.

"Sure! What's it all about?" I asked in return. I'm actually nervous about this kind of conversation. I've never even heard this kind of tone whenever we talk.

He sighs and sat down on Mara's bed. Then he looks at me straight into my eyes. NowI know what's it's going to be about... "You already knew." I sigh and I can see how sad he is. I mouthed 'I'm sorry' and at this moment, I felt a tear streaming on my right cheek. I must admit, I'm really a sucker for goodbyes. And I don't like people knowing that I'm leaving. But Jerome, he cornered me.

For the first 5 minutes, we're both quiet and sobbing and the next, I'm going downstairs with my stuff. I was the first one to go out of the Anubis House since I needed to catch on my flight. Before entering the cab, I said goodbye to Nina and the gang, to Trudy, and of course, Victor. Last is him, Jerome Clarke. He hugged me for a minute and he was actually quiet this time. I don't even know what he is thinking right now. But I'm a bit nervous about what's going to happen in the future since I'm not coming back to London. Never.
