"Eddie?" Patricia said in disbelief. Four months since she had last seen him. Four months and then he just shows up at her apartment building.

"Yac-Patricia?" He answers back a smile on his face. "What are you doing here?"

"I live here." She responds with no emotion. But he knows that right? This is just some joke. It has to be.

"You live... oh I'm here to see-,"

"Jerome," Patricia finishes his sentence. It make sense now. Her and Jerome are roommates for the time being. Eddie and him were still great was probably here visiting and they were going to go bar hopping together or some shit.

Eddie looked totally unprepared, "I thought Jerome lived with someone else."

"So you came to visit Jerome and he just happened to not to mention I was his roommate." The redhead was getting mad now. If that was true Jerome had a lot of explaining to do.

"Patricia," he took a step towards her. They were in the lobby close to the door. She wanted to run right out the door. "I-I didn't know but since you're here-,"

"I'm late," She said curtly and then she did run out the door. She felt the lump in her throat.

Eddie ran up the stairs and right into Jerome and apparently Patricia's apartment. The place was nice. Not very big but definitely more Patricia's then Jerome (which made sense considering Patricia did live there first and Jerome was just staying for a month or two) which showed in the decore. But Eddie wasn't exactly interested in the furniture at the moment.

"JERRY?" Eddie bellowed his luggage in tow.

"Edison how's the USA?" He chuckled grabbing a carton of milk from the refrigerator.

"You."

Jerome gave him a look, "Well I am who you expected to see aren't I?"

"You live here with Patricia and you just happen to forget to tell me that?" The american said his eyes practically jumping out of his skull.

Jerome whole face and body went, "Oh."
His friend just kept staring at him.

"I'm sorry. Trixie was supposed to be at her sister's for two weeks and then she said she was okay with you." Jerome apologized.

Eddie groaned, "Okay. Okay. I'll just have to go stay at a hotel or-or,"

"Come on it's been a while you two are adults can't you two stay at the same place just for a week."

The American shook his head, "Two weeks Jerome two." He took a long pause. "You and Patricia aren't. I mean you two aren't... and haven't ya know-,"

Jerome smiled and gave a small laugh, "No, we're not together and god no we haven't had sex. Mara actually usually lives here too."

Eddie let out a breath of relief. One of the reasons he came here was to settle thing with her. At the very least say he was sorry. Maybe this was his chance, to make things right even get back together with him. "Is she, seeing anyone?" He asked casually.

The brit smirked, "No. No she isn't."

And with that Eddie smile because Britain was looking up.

It was 3 a.m and the phone was ringing. Eddie snatched it up quickly trying to get it before it woke up Patricia.

"Hello?" He whispered into the phone. Trying to get out of the room.

"Sweetheart," His mother said.

"Mom it's like three in the morning what's going on?"

"Honey I'm so sorry but I felt like I should tell you as soon as possible," His mom contuined.

"Yeah mom what wrong? I don't want to wake Patricia."

"You father's, hun your father's dead."

For the first time Eddie was totally speechless.
