First I want to say that this is a just a preview of the first chapter. I will explain more at the end.
Disclaimer: I don't own House of Anubis.
"Hello?" Fabian answered.
"Fabian! How's my old buddy doing?"
"Who is this?" Fabian was confused.
"Wow, kind of sad you don't remember the voice of your old roommate." Eddie pretended to be hurt.
"Eddie? Eddie Miller?!" Fabian now sounded shocked.
"The one and only! How many Eddie's do you know?"
"Quite a few actually. Where have you been?"
"Staying out of sight like you said I should."
"Yeah, but its been a year. You couldn't have sent a text, an email, an postcard? Something?"
"I couldn't risk them tracking me down."
"True, we should meet up somewhere and talk," Fabian said a little urgently. "You can tell me what you found on them."
"Hold on a minute there Fabian, I just now got back. Give me a while to get settled."
"Ummm...Eddie, where are you exactly?"
"I'm, uh...standing outside the bus station."
"You're standing outside Patricia's apartment aren't you?" Fabian said.
"Maybe..." Fabian knew him too well.
"Eddie we really need to talk first."
"Sorry Fabian, as much as I want to see you and trust me, I do. I have a lot to tell you, but I need to see Patricia first."
"But Eddie..." But before Fabian could try and talk him out of it, Eddie hung up. He didn't understand why Fabian didn't want him to see Patricia. Fabian, of all people should understand how it felt to be away from someone for so long. He and Nina had to spent months apart and on different sides of the world.
He stood in front of the apartment hesitating. He was trying to picture how she would react when she saw him but he couldn't. She had always been unpredictable. More than likely she would pour some sort of liquid on him.
"Well, here goes nothing," he said to himself. Eddie walked into the building and made his way upstairs to the second floor. He wiped his sweaty hands on his pants before going to knock. He hadn't been this nervous since he had asked Patricia to dance at the masquerade ball.
He knocked then backed away from the door. He debated on whether to make a run for it while he still could. A couple moments passed and there was no answer. Eddie went to knock again but the door opened. There stood Patricia.
Eddie stood there awkwardly with his hand still in the knocking position. He waited for her reaction. He saw a flicker of confusion and a bit of anger flash across her face. Eddie waited for her to blow, but she stayed silent.
"Hey Yacker," he gave her an awkward smile. 'Come on Patricia, say something!' he thought.
"Who are you?" she asked in confusion.
AN: So I have had this story idea in my head for a while, but I've been extremely busy. But over Easter weekend, I had a bit of free time to get a small part written down. I don't know how often I will be able to post updates. I may post a small preview before I post each new chapter, I haven't decided yet.
What did you think of this first preview?
Feel free to send me a PM or a tweet ss_sibuna :)
