Jerome PoV

  My eyes widen as she said those words. " M-Mom. I'm sorry! " I stuttered out and looked to the ground. " Nonsense Jerome! I love you the way you are. Now stop feeling sad about it and go for him. He is a keeper and I know it.. Don't lose this one. " She smiled. I faked smiled back and yawned. " Go back to bed honey. It's way too early for you. " She sipped her coffee. I gulped mine down quickly and put the cup down. " Alright mom. Night. " I trudged my way back to my room. Once I was there I sat on my bed and sighed. This is why being a Heartbreaker is bad! I told you so! IDIOT! But no! Bacca knows everything! The voice in my head yelled. I have had it since I was younger. He use to be my imaginary friend, but once I grew out of that stage he has been torturing me ever since. The dark figure lurched over me. Of course it was all in my head. Pathetic.. Worthless.. You call this a job, but really it's a mistake.. Go jump of a bridge and just end it! He screamed. Do I listen? No. It's not worth it. " Just shut up.. It's not like you can do anything.. " I mumble softly. Wanna bet? I smirked. " Try me. " Seconds past and nothing had happen. " Told you. " I shrugged and laid down on my bed. Suddenly tears fell from my eyes. 

  " What the hell are you doing..? " I asked. No response. I shrugged it off and closed my eyes. Tears spilt out of my eyes faster now. Do you feel this? A sudden ache hit my heart and the feel of guilt dropped to the bottom of my stomach. I clenched my teeth tightly and held my stomach. " Why..? " I squeaked out. Because no one deserves you to hurt them for your own entertainment. Foolish! Stupid! Down right evil! He yelled. " STOP! " I screamed, the pain intensifying. Then do what is best for everyone... Vanish.

  I jolted out of my bed, covered in sweat and tears. I-It was just a dream? When did I fall asleep? I got up from my bed and walked out of my room to the kitchen. Mom wasn't there. There was no coffee. Lights were off. I sighed and tears threatened out of my eyes. She didn't accept me.. I sighed and walked slowly to mom's room. I opened the door quietly and saw her fast asleep in bed. I frowned and closed her door. I walked back to my room and a wave of depression hit me. It took me by surprise and I didn't know what to think of it. " What's going on.. " I shadow in the corner of my eye caught my attention. I turned my head towards it and saw nothing. This isn't good..

I feel like I should explain this chapter a little bit. Jerome is starting to get confused about Mitch and is possibly getting changed in the progress. He has two paths. One that will lead him to Mitch in the right way, making him happy or a path that leads him into depression, confusion, and wanting to still break Mitch's heart. So I ask you..

What path will he take? Comment what you think.
