A/N: First Peddie fic!
Chapter 1: Harder to Breath.
"Come on, Yacker," Eddie cried "it's only for two months."
Patricia folded her arms and stared at the whiteboard across them. She did not dare to look or even glance at Eddie when he was persuading her.
"Patricia, please just hear me out, okay?" he pleaded sitting on the chair next to her.
Though she did not respond he took as a 'yes' and sighed "Okay, I know this going to be hard for us," he started "but... just trust me, I know this can work and I really, really just want to see my mom again. Preferably in person and not through a web-cam." he joked, looking at her with his mesmerizing green eyes, full of hope that his girlfriend would give him the chance.
Patricia stifled a laugh and turned her head to face Eddie, arms still folded. With just one look into his eyes, Patricia's heart skipped a beat. She really wanted to say yes but she just couldn't bear the thought of him leaving -all the doubts and fears that could happen- and right now she just really wants to hear his voice and listen to him reason out to her.
"Please Patricia?" Eddie asked.
She closed her eyes and still did not respond.
Eddie didn't know what else to do. So, he gave out a theatrical sigh and said "Look, Yacker, do you trust me?"
"What?!" Patrica said finally unfolding her arms. "of course I trust you, what makes you- oh," she broke off, realizing where he was going with the conversation.
"Aha!" Eddie shouted. Standing up with a wide grin on his face "If you really trust me, why can't you just let me to back to America. It's just for two months and I really just want to see my mom."
Patrica looked shocked that Eddie had the guts to even think that she didn't trust him. She stood up facing him and said "I can't believe that you think that I don't trust you!"
"Well, if you do, then why not just let me go back without any of these nonsense." he said this time he was the one to fold arms.
"I do want you to go back and I do trust you but it's just... I don't want us to end up like-" Patricia said her voice starting to waver and her breathing becomes heavier but Eddie didn't notice.
"Like who, Yacker?" he continued. Not minding her wavering voice or heavy breathing "like Mick and Mara?"
She didn't answer.
"We are not like Mick and Mara or Mick and Joy, Patricia. I'm only going away for two months not the whole year!" he added shouting at her, he was starting to lose his temper.
"I know that," Patricia shouted back, she was also starting to lose her temper "but as much as I want to say yes I just-"
"Just what? Just don't trust me enough" he cut her off. His voice also beginning to waver.
"I do trust you but-" she said as Eddie broke off again saying "What Yacker? What's the problem? Why don't you want me to go back to America?"
"Look, Joy's my best friend and I've seen her suffer really bad" Patricia sighed trying to tackle the argument differently.
"So, what? Now you only care about what you will feel when I'm away? What about me? You don't think that I will feel the way Mick felt?"
"I do care about what you think and what you feel..." she said desperately to him.
"Then why do you keep comparing us to Mick and Joy!" he retorted. "Why even bring them up in the first place!"
"Can't you just understand how difficult this would be, Eddie? Do you not see how bad both Mick and Joy had suffered?"
"I know that. I really do and I trust you enough to know that this could work" Eddie said trying to calm himself "and try to change the subject again!"
"I'm not trying to change the subject!"
"Then why do keep bringing up Mick and Joy!" he said a grin creeping into his face again.
"I'm not bringing them up! I'm just trying to say what can happen to us if you go back to America."
"Yacker, how do you even know that this will happen to us? Can't you just trust me?"
"I trust you but can't you just put it in another perspective to understand what I'm trying to say!?"
"And again, I'm telling you how can you know that this will happen or not if you don't let me go back."
Eddie felt that he was going to win their argument. He smiled and looked at her. But Patricia wasn't willing to lose the argument, though she did not know what else to say. So, she straightened her face and shouted at him "Oh, you're just impossible to reason out with!" then she stormed out of the classroom and ran up to the house. Leaving a shocked and wide eyed Eddie.
It took all Patricia's courage to just walk away from him and not go back and run into his arms. It really hurt her when their arguments turn out really badly but she just couldn't take the tension between them and she was really beginning to hyperventilate because of all the shouting. Tears ran down Patricia's face as she made her way out of the school and to the house. She really did want Eddie to go but she was just afraid that something wrong will happen.
He never expected that she would just run off like that; let alone leave without any conclusion to their argument.
Eddie got his bag, slung it over his shoulder and rushed to the hallways, checking if Patricia was still in the school but as he expected she was not there. He was sure she was probably near the house now. So, he walked out of the school sheepishly, even though he knows that no one else had seen or heard them fighting. He just felt ashamed that he actually never did listen to her explanation.
They both knew that they should always solve their problems with one fair argument because, well, everyone knows that if Patricia and Eddie didn't solve their problems with one go then chaos would probably break in the house and it'll probably end either they'll make up or break up. Most of the time it was a 'make up' but that was just for minor arguments and their friends were there to help when they fought but this time, Eddie knows that he has to do it. On his own.
A/N: Yayyyyyyyyyyy! That was the first chapter everyone and I hope you like it! First of, I'm very sorry if there are any mistakes in this chapter, it's like midnight here and in two days I'll be back to school again which makes my schedule really hectic especially that I am a senior. Secondly,This is a sort of a song fic but not really... what I mean is that this fic is based on Maroon 5's debut album "Songs about Jane", hence the title "Songs about Peddie". And just like the album there will be 12 chapters, each based on the title of the song and the chapters will be in order of the track listing too. uhmmm... what else... oh, you should really go and listen to these songs too while reading this fic cause, you know, that's what I did when I was writing this fic. As of now, I am currently about to finish the third chapter (which is quite long) so I'm not sure when I will be able to upload the next chapter again because I want to at least finish one or two more chapter before uploading again. I just hope that I can finish it fast. but fear not, I had everything already planned up I know what I want for every chapter, the only problem is time management.
If you did not understand anything from the fic you could always ask me, I swear I'll answer it the best way that I can for you to understand. But just to be sure enough, if you're having a bit of trouble understanding of the connection of the song to this chapter(I certainly was when I was writing it), it's basically just how the song was described by Adam Levine. It's about frustration to their record label, which in Peddie's case was frustration to their relationship. Other references from the lyrics were "You'll understand what I mean when I say there's no way we're gonna give up" is like the way Eddie just kept on saying to Patricia that they can never know if they never try(which will probably make more sense when the next chapter comes up) other lyrics reference was "And like a little girl cries in the face of the monster that lives in her dreams; Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breath" : basically "little girl that cries"- Patricia, "'Monster that lives in her dreams"- all her doubts, fears, and suspicion that something might go wrong if she let Eddie go back to America, "Is there anyone out there"- Their friends who will help them solve their problem(Which again will make more sense in the next two chapters), lastly "Cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe"- both of the shouting and stuff and Patricia hyperventilating and just all of those tension between them. Also, the way Patricia does not allow Eddie to go back to America which kinda mean that she's suffocating him in their relationship which makes him like hard to think about their relationship, like she has a tight leash around Eddie neck? (I don't know, is that the correct saying?)
Anyway I hope that cleared everything up and I hope you like this fic. Review. I love to hear/read some constructive criticism so as to improve my writing skills. Thank you! I love you! and please stay tuned for updates and other fics. I really hope you enjoyed it!
P.S. I already had this idea months ago, before season 3 started airing so I'm not sure if I can add KT and Willow in the story and remove Nina. But if I can then I will. This is also set post season 2 and pre season 3 but Patricia will not be going to America like in the real season, I can tell you that 'cause again as I have said I have everything already planned up months ago.
