~Chapter 9~
Mitch's POV:
I sighed when I woke up, I guess a couple hours later. I sat up and rubbed my eyes and looked out the opened... wait.. opened? Wasn't it closed? I got up and went to the window. Closing it I groaned and hugged myself while crossing my arms. Why was it so cold? It's freezing! I looked around the whole house. It was weird though. Every single window was open!? Was someone really in the house? I got up and started looking around alot more carefully. Looking and examining every crook and nany to make sure no one or something was there. Still nothing. I was a little worried. Where is Jerome?
Jerome's POV:
I kept banging on the wooden door. They can't keep me locked in here! I need to get back to Mitch. He probably thought I left him by now or something. I kept banging. Then I heard feet stomping loudly on the floor. Torwards my door. I stopped and backed up a bit and sure enough, the door flew open and my dad was standing in the doorway. He had his eyes narrowed at mine. He grinned though and looked down the hall. I couldn't see down the hallway but with the look on his face, I know someone's there. The person walked in and my eyes widened.
"Jerome!"she squealed loudly.
She ran from the door and torwards me. Tackling me to the ground. Hugging me tightly. I could barley breathe.
"Jessica! Get off me"!
Her eyes glossened and she started to cry. I narrowed my eyes at her and pushed her off me. She started crying harder then. I jumped up and brushed off my clothes. I went to go out the door but my dad pushed me back in. Making me fall on my butt.
"Ow. What the hell!? Let me go"!
"Not until you get married to her. Your getting married!"my dad spat.
"No I'm not! I don't love her! You wanna know the truth!? I love a human! That's why I need to leave! Please dad! If you love me then you'd let me go so I can do what I want"!
"Y-You love a h-human", he said shocked before he growled ,"That is absolutely prohibited! You are not allowed to love a human! Do you understand me"!
I stood up and stood in front of him again. Jessica was quiet a while back and was sitting on the bed listening.
"No I don't! What's the problem with loving a human"!?
He didn't answer but slammed the door shut and locked it. I heard him walking off and I started banging on the door again. Finally I just gave up and sat on my knees. Sitting in front of the door with my forehead on the door. I heard her shift on the bed. Getting up and kneeling down behind me. She wrapped her arms around my neck from behind and sighed. I was about to tell her to get off me but she spoke before me.
"I'm sorry Jerome. I didn't know. What if I helped you out?"she whispered.
"Why would you do that for me"?
"Cause I do truly love you, but I want you to be happy Jerome".
I smiled a little and turned around torwards her. I grabbed her cheeks and kissed her forehead.
"Thanks Jessica"I smiled.
She was blushing deeply but she smiled at me.
"Just follow my lead. Okay. None of this is gonna happen".
I looked at her confused and she knocked on the door. Soon enough, Jessica's dad opened the door this time.
"Yes. What's going on Jessica? Is he hurting you"?
"No father, but he did agree to the marriage. He wants it to commence tomorrow morning. Okay father"?
He looked confused and looked over at me. Narrowing his eyes.
"Did you really say this"?
I looked over at her and she nodded. I looked back at him and nodded yes. He smiled and clapped a little.
"Wonderful. I will explain to your father Jerome and the wedding will commence tomorrow morning. Just like the two of you wish to have it".
"Thank you father"Jessica mumbled.
He closed the door and left. I looked over at her and stood up.
"Now what"?
"Tomorrow during the wedding, when it's happening. Just run away. I'll think of an distraction before you can run. After that I'll tell them to leave you alone cause I don't love you. If that doesn't work then I don't know what will".
I smiled at her and hugged her tightly.
"Thank you"I whispered to her.
She smiled and hugged me back. Sighing.
"You welcome".
(A/N- I'm just gonna skip the making of the wedding and stuff)
