She knew it was coming. She knew it from the start.

I should have never trusted him. I shouldn't have gone back to him. Patricia scolded herself.

From the beginning of their relationship, they had had rough bumps, sure, but no one could deny the passion, the subtext, in their words to one and other. Patricia felt it, as did Eddie, all their friends could see it. It was clear; they were in love. So deeply in love.

But all Patricia could see was the bad parts. The parts she didn't want to see. The parts any normal teenage girl wouldn't even want to think about.

All Patricia could see was what would become of their relationship. What she saw was nothing.

She knew that, one day, Eddie would forget about her. It would just slowly happen, he would slowly release himself from her grasp. Their grasp. And he would leave. Leave her alone to wither up. And there would be nothing left

All Patricia could feel was herself digging a hole deeper and deeper. A hole that would eventually come right back up to where she had started; to nowhere. All the work, all the effort they put forth into their relationship would be of no use anymore.

Of course, at first, she had felt love and passion for him. The butterflies in her stomach whenever he saw him coming around the corner. She had realized that it wasn't looking good for them, but she didn't care. Not one bit.

But once it had gotten serious, the scariness of it all overpowered the love. She had never been in a relationship this serious. At least, to her it was serious. She had no idea what Eddie thought about it. She wasn't too sure that she wanted to know either. Some things are best left unsaid, after all.

Eddie had told her that he loved her. She had said it back, and meant it. Thoughts rambled through her head.

Does he say that to every girl he meets? Every girl he dates? Am I just another one of them? Or..is he genuine? Does he really mean it?

Patricia had always referred to their relationship as "unstable". She knew it would eventually end, just as every other relationship always does in the movies. The thing she was worried about was burning out. Just completely crashing and losing it towards Eddie. They had their fights, some more serious than others. But she would always stop and walk away when it was getting out of control. She was worried that one day she wouldn't walk away. And it would all end before her eyes.

That's why she broke up with him in the first place; she couldn't bear that happening. Not to herself or Eddie.

For months, they were separated. He did absolutely nothing to keep in contact with her after she left to go back to England, unplanned, in the middle of their vacation in America. She was devastated. She cried for hours on end while she lay alone in her room. With no one to comfort her, no one to look after her, no one to talk to, no one to cry to.

She blamed herself for everything. She never should have started with him. He was only trouble.

Patricia longed for him. She would sit and wait by her phone, waiting for just one call, to prove she wasn't alone.

Everyday, for a month and a half, she sat and waited. Doing the same thing, day after day, week after week. And not once did he call.

Now she was in another fight with her boyfriend, Eddie. She had given him all her chances, and this was for sure her last. She didn't know if it was worth it anymore.

After waiting for him so long, she became depressed and miserable when school started. So, she thought, why not go back to being happy? For just awhile longer?

And that's just what she did. She got KT to hook her back up with Eddie and they rekindled their love. Patricia was happy again.

Up until now. Now, they were in another fight. A bigger fight. Now it would end for good.

She knew it was coming, she knew it from the start. She knew that this was going nowhere. She realized that this was the day that she wouldn't walk away, but he would. For good.

"Patricia, I'm sick of this! I'm sick of us fighting like this. All the time." He stressed.

She looked up at him, not knowing what to say. What could she say?

"I don't really know what provokes us to fight like this, but-" This was it; he was gone for good.

"I love it." He finished, stepping closer to her.

"What?" She muttered, almost scoffed, too shocked to talk correctly.

"I'm sorry," He placed his hands around her face, cradling her.

"I am too." She looked up at him and their lips crashed together.

Maybe, she thought, I could just give him one more chance.


What did y'all think? I thought the ending was suckish, I'm bad at writing sad-to-happy endings because I never know what to say ugh. I'm starting this Peddie one shot collection, called Like Like War because I've seen a bajillion other people do this so yup.

This is the first one yay
