Tiny one-shot that I think is really good and I hope y'all like it too! This is dedicated to xXAquaMangoXx because after watching the first episode of season 3, she felt like she couldn't read anymore Peddie fics. So, I wrote this for her.

Warning: SPOILERS! Don't read if you haven't seen the first episode of season 3 yet!

(Um, for those of you that haven't seen the episode, go to my profile and at the bottom of my bio, I have a link that will send you to Sibuna Magic's website that will have the episodes of Season 3 as they premier. And it is completely free!)


Patricia shut her locker and slipped out of the school. It was the second day of the third term and everything was going fine. Jerome and Mara were being all lovey dovey on the steps of the school and she tried hard not to make fun of Jerome. He apparently had a sensitive side he only let Mara see, if someone else was with him and Mara he'd act like his usual coldblooded self. Patricia could hear Alfie and Amber laughing about their vacations and the last few years at the school. Willow was staring at them from across the yard and Fabian was trying to get a hold of Nina. She saw Eddie chasing KT across the yard as she tried to get away from him. He was really freaking her out and Patricia knew that by the way her brown eyes would flash with fear. Jealousy irked in her but she pushed it away and followed the path to the house. Joy caught up to her best friend and looped her arm through hers with a smile.

"Are you going to explain to me why you and Eddie broke up?" Joy asked.

"Nope," she shook her head, auburn curls swooshing around her face.

"Oh, come on, within the first week he was here, you told me you liked him a lot. Where'd those feelings go? He said he was falling for you! What happened?" the brunette cried desperately, pulling her friend to a stop by her arm.

"I just didn't feel anything anymore." Patricia shrugged.

Joy arched a dark eyebrow at her and Patricia looked away.

She and Eddie had been doing great. During the summer they'd talked non-stop and continued the playful banter they'd made 'their thing'. But as the summer holiday had progressed, Patricia felt her feelings grow even more for the blonde and soon enough, she'd decided to stop talking to him for a while. After about a week, she had picked up the phone and called him, receiving a frantic Eddie on the other end. After explaining that she had been 'busy', they started talking again. But as much as Patricia didn't want to, she broke it off with him not long after. He had asked why and she told him it was because she didn't think they were working. But the real reason was because she had gotten—

"Scared, I got scared, alright?" Patricia huffed, crossing her arms with a childish pout.

"Scared of what?" Joy asked, confusion clouding her tanned face.

"Scared of my feelings; Eddie and I talked the whole summer and we got to know each other better. He told me about his life at home and his past. I met his best friend and his step-brother and mom and step-dad. I don't know, I guess…I was starting to fall for him and it scared me…that I was falling in love with my first ever boyfriend." She mumbled, shrugging. She tugged on one of her strands of hair, a sign that she was nervous. Joy raised an eyebrow at her fingers as they pulled and released, then pulled and released.

"Trish, you don't need to be scared about this. Eddie had enough courage to tell you that he was falling for you, why can't you except that you might be falling for him?"

"Because, Eddie's had experience with girls, I bet he's fallen in love plenty of times." Patricia brushed it off, starting for Anubis House again.

"Really, this is Eddie we are talking, Patricia." Joy said with raised eyebrows.

"I don't want to risk him not liking me anymore and plus, he has KT now."

"Have you seen the way she looks at him? He scares her half to death!" Joy protested.

"Joy…" Patricia sighed with annoyance.

"Come on, you can't tell me that you're happy without being able to hold his hand or hug him or look him in the eyes and not let it get awkward when the two of you lean in to kiss?"

"I am happy; I finally don't have to keep any secrets from him."

"You didn't have any secrets since you found out he was the Osirian!" Joy shrieked.

"Shh! Joy!" Patricia scolded.

"I'm just saying you're coming up with all of these excuses for your break up when the real reason is because you're scared. You don't need more than one reason, you don't need one at all, just get back together with him!"

"No, I don't want to love him."

"Yes you do."

"No I don't."

"Patricia, stop being so stubborn!" Joy growled.

"No." she shook her head and continued on her way, Joy's words swimming in her head.

Should she get back together with Eddie? Would it be better to be scared, in love and together than be unhappy, in love and apart? Joy was right though, Patricia wasn't happy not being able to hold her Weasel's hand or to get to kiss him when she wanted. Breaking up with him was a stupid move and it hurt the both of them. But would he take her back? Would he decide to have KT, the new girl, the American, the one he had a special connection with, instead of her? Was it better to try and get back together with him and risk getting her heart broken or to be unhappy and let him be happy with the girl from his dream?

Looking up at the old, creepy house before her, she got her answer:

She definantly loved Eddie Sweet.


Review?

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. -1 Corinthians 13:4-5
