Meant To Be

Chapter 6

jerome: i love you because you know me and understand me and my past , we have so much in common , your beautiful funny smart and so much more . you dont have to say you love me back just know that i love you

---

I wake up to banging on my door really loud . I instantly wake up and see Jerome still laying next to me . I shake him so he can wake up . Once he wakes up he looks at the door crazy and then whispers to me .

jerome: *whispers* who bangin on yo door

jasmine: *yells* WHO IS IT ?

mrf: its dad open this fucking door jas ! and whos car is parked outside ?!

jasmine: da-

mrf: whos ever with you needs to come out with you cause i will keep my eyes on that car to make sure i know whos in your room with you with the door lock before they leave ! *yells*

I sigh and look at Jerome . I slid out of the bed and quickly change into some sweats and a hoodie and Jerome puts his clothes back on . We both change the sheets together and clean up my room a bit .

jerome: *sighs*

jasmine: whatever happens im still going to be with you and to respond to what you said last night i love you too

jerome: *smiles*

We walk downstairs and walk into the living room . Once we make it to the living room my dad lifts from the couch and looks at us shocked .

mrf: *yells* WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE ?! YOU BROUGHT A MURDERER INTO MY HOUSE ?!

jasmine: dadd-

mrf: HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FUCKING MIND JASMINE FONDS ?!

jasmine: me and jerome are together

mrf: *chuckles* please you are not dating him

jasmine: yes i am you cant tell me who i can and cant date

jerome: sir-

mrf: GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE !

jerome: excuse me ?

mrf: GO ! or are you going to try to kill me like you killed your own blood ? you dad ? seriou-

Before dad could finish Jerome was gone and out the house . I could hear his car speed off . I wipe my tear from my face .

mrf: whats wrong baby girl ?

He says while trying to hold on to my arm but I snatch it away .

jasmine: how could you say that to him ? we love eachother ! its like we were Meant To Be daddy . i think mom and mrs linol are in heaven watching over us and they put us together . he knows everything about me and i know everything about him . he makes me happy ! and why didnt you tell me that mom was bestfriends with the guy who goes to the same school as me and he was the one who killed moms bestfriend boyfriend and her boyfriend killed mom ?!

Immediately dad face softens up .

mrf: how did you-

Before he could finish I ran upstairs to my room and slammed the door . I fell on my bed and immediately fell into a deep sleep .

Dad just doesnt understand . Me and Jerome are Meant To Be . & If he cant understand that and accept us then I wont be living or associating with him anymore . I know what you guys are probably saying .. 'Family Comes First' . But If your family doesnt believe in me or respect my decisions than so be . Ill just be out of their way ……

2 weeks later …

I havent seen Jerome in two weeks ! I tried to call & text him EVERYDAY ! It goes straight to voicemail ! I cry everyday . I dont even speak to my dad . I just walk in the house and ignore him and walk straight to my room .

Today Im going by Jeromes apartment to see if he may be there , hopefully he is . I walk in the house straight to my room and change into black yoga pants , gray boots , gray hollister hoodie , and i put my straight bone hair into a messy bun . I grab my phone putting it in my hoodie pocket and run out the ignoring my dad asking where Im going .

I hurry into my car and drive with tears coming down my face . I make it to Jeromes and I get to his apartment door . I knock on it and ring on it . 10 minutes later and no one has opened the door . Tears continue to roll down my face as I turn around and see Jerome standing there with bags in his hand .

jerome: jasmine ? what are you doing here ? and why are you crying ?

jasmine: where have you been ? *sniffs*

jerome: ive been here

jasmine: wh-why havent you called me ?

jerome: i just needed to think but i swear i was going to go see you tonight maybe when your pops was sleep

I start to cry even harder and Jerome pulls me to him and hugs me . While hugging me he opens the door and sits the bags down . He carries me and lays me on his bed . He takes off my shoes and hoodie leaving me in my yoga pants and tanktop . He takes off his shoes , jeans , and shirt leaving himself in bb shorts , socks , and no shirt .

He lays in the bed with me and holds me tight while I cry into his chest . The last thing I remember is Jerome kissing my forehead .

I wake up in a bed by myself . I look around and notice that Its just Jeromes room …… but Im in here by myself . I get up and immediately stretch my arms and legs and crack my knuckles and neck . I get up and walk down Jeromes hall only to smell weed . I walk into the living room and see Jerome layed back there on the couch smoking a blunt .

I lay my head in his lap looking up at him .

jerome: *exhales smoke* feel better ?

jasmine: yeah

It gets quiet and I just lay in his lap looking at the ceiling . He finishes the blunt and starts putting his fingers through my hair .

jerome: baby ?

jasmine: yeah ?

jerome: Lets run away together

Those words echoed in my head over and over again .
