Thank you Chrono XIII for the challenge and thank you for proof reading. I really appreciate all of it.
Here is a new Patrome story for everyone. Hope you enjoy and I would love to know what you think!
I own nothing HOA!
Enjoy!
"Victor's gone tonight. We're going to party!" Alfie and I burst into the common room where the rest of the house was gathered.
"Victor's gone?" Amber asked with a flip of her long hair.
"Yeah he's out for the night," I answered.
"So we're going to party!" Alfie repeated.
"But what if he comes back? A stupid party isn't worth the wrath of Victor," Mara pointed out.
"Yeah and I'm not going to take the rap for you guys if we get caught," Joy smirked.
"I'll take the blame if we get caught," I assured them.
"I highly doubt that slimeball," Patricia countered.
"Oh come on Trix, you don't believe me?" I complained giving her my best award winning smile.
"It's not like you to take the blame Jerome," Patricia smirked.
"Well why don't you give me a chance to prove you wrong," I suggested looking straight at Patricia.
"Oh…fine, I'm in," Patricia sighed giving in.
"Great," I smiled at Trix. "What about the rest of you guys?" I asked looking from face to face around the room.
"Ugh, fine I'm in too," Joy caved.
"I'm always up for a party!" Amber squealed. "Let's get this started!" she started to take control, which was fine by me. As long as we had an amazing party going within the next hour I didn't care who got it together.
"Hey Jerome?" Patricia said coming up to me.
"Yeah?" I smiled down at her.
"Why do you want a party all of the sudden?" she asked smiling up at me.
"Victor's out, so why not party? Besides it's been a long hard week and I need a break," I muttered as I ran a hand through my hair.
"Because of Poppy?" Patricia asked knowingly. Patricia knew me better than I even knew myself at some points. Even though we got into fights a lot we were still good friends. She was someone I could go to no matter what and not worry about being judged. That might not be the Patricia everyone else was used to, but that was the Patricia I knew.
"Exactly," I mumbled. Poppy was bringing up all of these memories and emotions I'd rather not face. I just needed to unwind and get away from all of the past that Poppy brought back to the surface. All of the things that I had been trying all my life to suppress…I needed this party…I needed to let go and with Victor out for the night I couldn't think of a better way to do just that.
