Last Chapter...
I think she heard me singing because she looked up to see me on my bed. Then screamed.
Eddie's POV
"AHH!" The girl yelled and stumbled off the bed, landing on her arm.
I quickly jumped up and stood next to the window to see if she was okay. "Woah! Are you okay?" I asked while she was getting back onto her bed.
"Yeah I'm fine don't worry." She replied and I sighed in relief before sitting back on my bed as well. "So. Can I ask who are you and what you're doing in Mr. Sweet's house." She continued
"Well I just happen to be his son. And his very good looking one to be exact." I smirked while she rolled her eyes.
"Also his very cocky one." She laughed. "Well Mr. Sweet's son you have a very good singing voice I noticed."
"Pshh no way, you on the other hand were amazing!" I replied while she shook her head.
"No way you're way better than me! And I'm not taking no for an answer." She declared and pointed her finger at me. I nodded and put my hands up in surrender.
"So may I ask why you came into your room at midnight while cussing at the door?" I chuckled while she just replied with a straight up no.
"Okay then let's change the subject. What's your favorite band?" I asked not wanting to upset her.
"Now this I can answer." She smiled. "Well it would have to be Sick Puppies raising her shirt and pointing to a couple posters on her walls I didn't notice before.
"Mine too!" I exclaimed and gave her a air high five. "How long have you lived here?" I asked next.
"All my life really. I live with my step mom." She said while rubbing her arms like her was nervous.
"Well I'm going to be here all summer."
"That's so cool! You get to go to one of your dad's signature parties. Or what he likes to call them, "gathering". They're actually pretty fun. For all the parents kids they hang out upstairs and have their own little party."
"Wow you know a lot about these so called parties. Have you been to many?" I asked curiously.
"Nope! I haven't been to any. But my step sisters have so I know things."
"Why haven't you came?" I wondered.
"Oh you know, busy things and I'm too cool for those kinds of things." She laughed and I mocked her. "Oh yeah, right sorry." I said sarcastically.
The conversation went on like that. And once we finished talking and finally checked my phone it was 6 am.
"Oh my gosh. It's 6 am!" I shouted and she yawned.
"Yeah I know." She laughed.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked kind of upset.
"I didn't think it mattered. We were having fun talking. I haven't had this much fun in a long time." She said kindly which made me smile.
"Same here. It was really fun."
At 6:05 her alarm started ringing.
"Shit, shit, shit! I have to go!" She exclaimed while getting up and putting on her shoes and coat.
"Wait what? You haven't even slept!"
"Sleep is for the weak!" She yelled before opening up her door and grabbing her phone.
"Wait I don't even know your name!" I shouted before she could leave.
"It's Patricia Williamson. What's yours?"
"Eddie. Eddie Miller." I replied.
"Well Eddie Miller I hope to see you soon."
"Same to you." I said and waved goodbye. She left the room. But not before closing her window.
After Patricia left I got about 3 hours of sleep before my dad came in.
"Rise and shine Edison it's a brand new day!" He said while walking in and opening the curtains to my window. "I hope you had a good sleep because today I'm going to show you the town!"
"Yay!" I replied trying not to hurt his feeling because I didn't want to go exploring today.
"Okay then! Get dressed and meet me downstairs in 30 minutes! The adventure starts there." He smiled and ran down stairs excited for the day to come.
I on the other hand. Wasn't.
We went everywhere. From the Big Ben, to the London Eye, to his favorite restaurants, it was crazy.
I was so happy when we finally got back home. At 12:30pm. We stayed up that late because my dad wanted to show me the life at night for some shit I can't remember I'm exhausted!
I was so tried. I could hardly walk up the stairs to my room! Once I got in my room I took off my shirt and shorts so I stood in nothing more than boxers. I was about to get into bed when-
"Nice boxers." A voice yelled for which I then jumped and turned around staring straight through my open window. Well the window wasn't open but the curtain was. I quickly unlocked my window and pulled it up. I then sat on my bed and watched her wave at me.
"Hey Patricia." I smiled back at her.
"Hey Eddie. How was your day?" She asked politely.
"Um it was good I guess I toured around town, looking at all the sights and such. What about you?"
"Eh it was a normal day." She replied and shrugged.
"Well what's a normal day like for you?" I replied wanting to know more about her.
"A normal day for me huh?" Well I have to say just chilling doing nothing."
"That's it really? That's boring don't you think?" I laughed.
"Yeah I guess but I enjoy staying in the house." There was a few moments of silence before I spoke up.
"Hey Patricia lets play a game to get to know each other more!" I suggested and jumped up and down to my idea.
"You're a school kid." She giggled at the sight of me. "Okay sure."
"Great! We're going to play 10 questions and you have to answer them!"
"Okay, okay I will." She rolled her eyes.
"Okay good I'll start! What's your favorite color?" I asked starting off easy.
"Purple or Black. What's your favorite thing to do in your free time?"
"Listen to music or sing. What's your favorite thing to do in your free time?" I asked copying her question.
"Ummm I guess watching tv or YouTube. Have you ever had a girlfriend?" She asked which caught me by surprise.
"Yeah just one and wasn't very serious. What about you?"
"No Eddie I've had no girlfriends. I'm straight don't worry." She said mockingly.
"You know what I meant."
"Yeah I've had one boyfriend. It was a pretty serious relationship. I loved him." She said out of nowhere.
"What happened. If you don't mind me asking?" I asked cautiously.
"Um." A tear fell down her check. "He-he was abusive." She finally said which made my heart break.
"Oh Patricia. I'm-I'm so sorry." I said which made her cry even more. I felt so bad for her. She needed someone right now. So I did the only logical thing I could think of. I climbed into her room.
I started through my window climbing on the ledge until I was standing on the edge.
"Eddie what are you doing?" Patricia said in tears.
"I'm coming to comfort you!" I climbed on to the tree next to my window and then jumped on to the tree next to her's. Once I was safely on her ledge I climbed through her window into her room.
Her room looked a lot better in person. The floor was hard wood, The celling was black with light up stars on it. Her bed has purple sheets on it and the walls were painted purple as well.
"Wow your room is amazing." I said before sitting down on her bed.
"Thanks." She said quietly trying to wipe the tears off her checks.
"Patricia I'm so sorry that happened to you. What a jerk." I said while she started crying some more.
"I loved that jerk." She replied. Then that's when I hugged her tightly while she cried into my shirt. I rubbed her back and told her it was all going to be okay and that he was gone now.
After a while the crying stopped but I didn't let go of her. We had ended up lying down on her bed like that, her head in my neck while my head rested on hers. We both fell asleep smiling.
"Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep" I woke up to the sound of her alarm. I checked the clock to see the time was 6:05 AM the same time her alarm rang the night before.
She jumped with a start and grabbed her coat and started putting her shoes on. "You need to leave." Was the first thing she said to me.
"Okay I'll just go with you out the front door and-"
"No!" She shouted. "No one can know you were here!"
"Okay I'll just go out the window." I said while starting to climb out. I was then stopped but Patricia's voice.
"Oh and hey Eddie? Thanks for helping me last night. It was the best sleep I've had in ages."
I smiled at her and she smiled back. "Anytime you need me to be with you just tell me. Please don't be worried about me saying no because I won't." I replied and then climbed back into my room. I watched her lock her window and leave her room before I got into my bed.
I tried to fall asleep but it was hard. Once I finally did, I fell asleep with her in my mind.
Weeks go by. I talk to her every time at midnight until we either fall asleep, or her alarm rings. I don't ask her where she's going of why she's going there, I don't wanna make her mad. Sometimes I go to her room, other times I don't. I love hanging out with her though. And I think I'm starting to like her.
Oh shit.
