Patricia walked out of L.A.X. and looked around. The skies were clear and it was hot. Let me rewind and explain.

Last week, Piper had visited Anubis House and Patricia was more than happy to see her sister. She could finally tell someone how she felt, because with Amber gone, and the other girls with real boyfriends, Patricia was a third wheeler. Piper and Patricia spent that entire day together, that was until around supper.

Before supper, the two went separate ways, Patricia headed to the school (to get some quiet at the futbol field) and Piper back to the house. When Piper walked in, the couples and Eddie were playing truth or dare.

"Truth or Dare, Eddie?" Jerome asked while Eddie popped a grape into his mouth.

"Dare." Eddie responded, his mouth full with earlier grapes he had eaten.

"I dare you to have 'Seven Minutes in Heaven' with Piper." Jerome said looking at the musical prodigy.

"Okay." Eddie said standing up. He grabbed Piper's hand and led her by her arm to the laundry room.

"Come on, Piper." Eddie continued. After they shut the door, Patricia walked into the house with a scowl.

"What's wrong, Trixie?" Joy asked whilst Jerome smirked.

"Cat got your tongue?" Jerome joked earning a hit upside his head from Joy. Alfie snickered and Willow giggled.

"No, that stupid jerk. What's his name? Sven poured his soda all down my shirt." Patricia said dripping wet from the soda.

"So what's the problem? Can't you just get cleaned up?" Mara asked smiling.

"All my shirts are in the dryer, Trudy said to get them after supper." Patricia continued trudging towards the laundry room.

"Patricia, I really think you shouldn't go in there." Alfie said standing up. The others followed his move and made their way over to the door. Fabian and Alfie began to block it.

"Fine." Patricia settled and got a glass for water. She poured herself some and the turned around.

"Now, you have as long as it takes for me to drink my water or else I deal with you. Got it?" Patricia demanded. She took a heavy swig of water and kept drinking. No one moved. No one said a word. Patricia walked over with the glass in her hand.

"Move out my way." Patricia snapped pushing them to the side.

"Patricia, you really shouldn't." Mara said.

"And why not?" Patricia sneered turning around. Her chestnut hair clung to her face and her eyes in a deep glare.

"Because- Trudy found a rat in there and told us that it had rabies." Fabian lied on the spot. The others nodded at his words.

"I'll take my chances." Patricia said and opened the door. The glass cup fell and broke into a million pieces. There was the most heartbreaking thing in her life.

Eddie and Piper were on the floor, making out.

Now Patricia had a reputation. She was the rebel, the strong one, the girl who couldn't be broken. Sadly enough, that's what she was inside. Broken. Into a million different pieces. Her heart shattered, well because Eddie was her first love. Her first kiss. Believe it or not, many people had thought it was Jerome. She had never kissed Jerome. Never. And she swears she never will.

Her first reaction? To break down crying. But no, she was the girl who could never be broken. So she went with choice B. What was that exactly? Snatch up her shirt and stomp upstairs to her room. Where she not only shut, but locked the door. Then she resorted to Choice A. Which she didn't understand why, it's not like she liked him. Scratch that, she loved him. The girl who could never be broken, had been broken. Not only inside, but on the outside too, as soon as Eddie declared Piper as his girlfriend.

Why was love so complicated? The fifteen year old Patricia would disapprove of her liking guys at all. That Patricia was long gone though, because summer came. Boys got hotter, girls got boobs, and all she got was more attitude and a wall built up. She promised herself, she would never like boys. And no, she wasn't bisexual or anything like that. She just believed that boys led to heart break and now she was sure of it.

And now she was just like the glass cup broken and she didn't need someone else to know that.

So basically, Patricia hopped on the next flight to L.A. to meet up with Nina and Amber, who had a recording contract, but had yet to do any work. They would stay in an apartment not too far from Sunset Boulevard. They would live there until they had a decent amount of money to get a bigger house, more security, and more privacy. How did Amber get there? Well, after her first week at Fashion School, Amber got kicked out. Why? Well, there was this mean girl, who took Amber's crush, Ryan, (Boys attended the brother school for Sports.) away from her. Amber had to get revenge and got caught doing so. Thus, she was expelled.

A baby blue convertible pulled up in front of Patricia. Nina and Amber smiled inside the car.

"Hop in, we're gonna head to the studio now." Nina said unlocking the car doors. Nina got Patricia's luggage while Patricia got in the car and buckled up. Nina came back around to get in. She locked the door, buckled up, and drove out of the parking lot.

"What kind of music do guys play?" Patricia asked curious while looking at L.A.'s scenery.

"Pop." Amber said blowing a bubble with her gum.

Oh.

"And Rock." Nina added turning on to the highway. Amber switched on the radio while Patricia just admired some cars. 'What Makes You Beautiful' came on and Amber to sing. Nina joined in and by the chorus the two were giggling.

"Hey, Patricia. Sing for us." Nina said turning up the radio a bit. Patricia raised an eyebrow at the song.

"Come on! You know you want to." Amber said turning around to look at the rebel. Amber made a cheesy smile and crossed her eyes.

"Fine." Patricia laughed. Patricia began to sing Zayn's part while Nina and Amber sung back up. When the song ended, they broke into a fit of laughter. After a few song sing-a-longs, things got quiet.

"So Patricia, why'd you head to America?" Nina said adjusting her rear view mirror.

"Eddie and Piper got together. Piper quit the academy to join the house, so Eddie and her could be together. I can't stand seeing them together, I know Eddie and I broke up over the summer, but I couldn't get over him. I thought he still had feelings for me, but I guess I was wrong." Patricia grumbled groaning at the last part.

"I'm sorry for you, Tricia." Amber sighed reapplying her lip gloss in her compact mirror.

"I'm sorry for me too. That is why I swear off boys at fifteen while you other girls boy'd it up." Patricia continued.

"It'll get better, Trix. Promise. How about for dinner, we stop at my favorite dinner and then tomorrow we'll go see the sights?" Nina said changing lanes.

"Sound's goods Neens, Tricia?" Amber replied and then looked at the other British girl.

"I'm fine with it. I'd love to see a bit more of L.A. and I hope it's as good as people say it is." Patricia finished.

"It's wonderful." Nina smiled.

Nina pulled into a parking space at a small diner. It was small, but it was busy. The trio walked inside to get a table. After they were seated they began on what happened at Anubis after Amber and Nina left.

"Mara and Fabian kissed and are now dating. Sorry, Nina." Patricia said sympathetically to Nina. Nina fake smiled and put butter on her dinner roll.

"I'm glad, Fabian's moved on." she lied through her teeth. Patricia raised an eyebrow and Amber sighed.

"I know, Alfie's dating Willow. As much as I miss him, I know Willow will take good care of him. I'm still a bit jealous. I wish he was still mine." Amber frowned.

"But you know what they say 'If you love something, let it go. If it comes back, then it's yours forever. If it doesn't, then it was never meant to be.'" Patricia replied before taking a sip of her soda.

"Let's make a toast." Nina said looking up.

"To being single." Nina said raising her glass of Coke.

"To being single."
