Merome: Hate is a Strong Word

Chapter 12

+++ Mitch's POV+++
I walked up the stairs to the apartment slowly, not really wanting to be questioned by Cameron and Markus yet. Once I reached the correct door, I let out a sigh and then knocked. Man, I really need a key or something.

I heard the sound of things being unlocked and then a very disappointed Markus opened the door. "Where the heck did you even go???" He half yelled at me, grabbing my arm and yanking me inside. He then slammed the door and turned to face me.

"Let go of me!" I whined, slapping his hand in order to loosen his grip. Eventually he let go and I started to rub the spot he held. "Sorry. Now answer the question." He said sternly and crossed his arms. Ugh, he's not going to give up.

"I just went for a walk. Someone made me mad and I needed to think."

"Mitch if you're mad you can't just run away from your problems! It would be easier to just tell someone about it! We were worried sick!" Markus was full on yelling at me now.

"I can't talk to people because they just won't understand, okay?" I said, turning and sprinting into my room. Markus ran after me but I locked the door and he was left banging on the door yelling for me to come back out.

"Go away!" I yelled at him, covering my head with a pillow as I lay in my bed. "Just leave me alone...."

And with that, there was nothing but silence for the remainder of my night.

+++Jerome's POV+++

I have been in my room all day, with Mitch's words echoing in my head. It's all your fault. Mitch was insanely right. It's all my fault that everything happened. I wish I was just never born. That would be great. Then I wouldn't case anyone pain.

I guess the world would just be way better without me. I wouldn't be hurting people, getting then kicked out of their homes, or complaining to everyone about my crazy life. Maybe I should just..... no. I can't start having those thoughts again.

I stand up and walk over to my window. I guess it started to rain at some point today. Water was splattering against the screen of the window and the trees branches were drooping because of the extra weight. The weather matched how I was feeling, gloomy.

I sighed and walked back to my bed. I sat on the edge of it and grabbed my laptop, turning it on. I opened up Google and typed "YouTube" into the search bar. Within seconds, I clicked the link and was brought to the home page. I then typed in "cats videos" because cats always cheer me up. I could really use a good cat video at the moment.

Apparently I spent a solid five hours laughing at cat videos because when j finally closed my laptop, it was dark outside and my wall clock said 10:38 pm. I decided that I'd just go to bed.

I quickly took a shower, got dressed into sweat pants and a plain tshirt and brushed my teeth. I took a minute to just stare at my reflection. I looked into my own eyes for a second. I felt a wave of emptiness crash over me. I shook my head and bit my lip. What's wrong with me? Why am I not enough...?

Sighing, I turned off the light and walked out of the bathroom and back into my bedroom. I plopped down into my bed and pulled the blankets up to my chin. I reached over to my bedside table and turned off my lamp. I then slowly drifted off into a restless sleep.

A/N
Sorry, this had to be a quick chapter. I was busy cleaning and stuff today. I also saw Unbroken with my dad and brother. That's a really good movie. The book was better though. Not going to lie, I cried.

On another note my dog has his head on my stomach and he's really cute and warm.

Well, please vote and comment what you're thinking.

Love you long time,
