"Yeacker?" The shout echoes throught the big empty house and so does the sing Trudy keeps singing. Eddie can't seem to discover where she is. The only place he hasn't looked in yet is the bathroom but he can't search in there either, if she's inside, he's outside, simple as the Abc.
"Here" Patricia yells and he has to run to her room, in where she was not a few minutes ago, completly out of breath.
"Where were you?"
"Chill Weasel! In the bathroom, why?"
"You were crying weren't you?" Patricia tries to laugh but it comes out more as a cough followed by a very high "What? No!"
"Yacker don't lie to me, your make up is a like smudged and you've got red eyes, what's wrong?"
"I wasn't crying okay Eddie? Leave me aline!" She's about to turn her on her heels, close the door and don't give a fuck but she can't. It's still too strong and she's still too hurt and it tears start falling, rolling down her cheeks and Eddie's the first to react, grabbing and wrapping his arms around his girlfriend, running his hand on her back while she cries onto his chest.
"It's okay Yacker, it's going to be okay..." He whispers and kisses the top of her head, still caressing her back.
"S-Sorry I j-just g-got a call f-from my mum a-and E-Eddie t-they're taking P-Piper a w-week to Australia a-and t-they di-didn't e-even think t-that I'm a p-part of t-the fa-family too" Eddie nods, holds her closer making her feel safe and wanted.
"If they don't apreciate my Yacker the way she is, I will. I know we can't exactly skip classes for a week and go to Australia but... with a little help from my dad... maybe I can get us to go to the movies tomorrow night, just the two of us? No sisters or parents to boder ok? And then I can show you how amazing you are and how they're wrong in not taking you."
"Yeah t-that's good, thank you E-Eddie" She looks up, the mascara might be ruined and the rimel cascading down her cheeks but for Eddie, she looks just as beautiful, maybe even more because he just found a new side of his Yacker. This vulnerable, needy and sentimental side which actually has feelings!
"Hey Yacker?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you" He whispers against her lips, making her smile and giggle.
"I love you too Weasel"
