The room was still in shock when Patricia left the room. Eddie got up off the broken snack table, which had split in half because of how forceful Patricia was. Food was strewn all over the floor, the icecream staining the carpet and the cupcakes face down on the floor. Eddies shirt and pants were now stained with red, purple, yellow and blue colouring. He frowned at his appearance, and went over to Raine
"I better go calm her down before the burns the house down or something" mumbled Joy, after a few minutes of awkward silence. As soon as Joy left the room, Fabian nervously turned the music on again and everyone slowly started to dance again. It felt awkward though to do anything.
"That was... interesting!" said Jerome to Mara, as they went into the kitchen. Mara nodded
"I have never seen Patricia that mad before. She's never been that... verbal" said Mara, scowling. "I really hope Joy can calm her down, No one else could." she added.
"Possibly. Or she'll act like a wild beast for the rest of the night" laughed Jerome, tickling Mara.
"Stoppp!" laughed Mara, slapping Jerome. Jerome stopped tickling Mara and smirked.
"The ticklish type hey Jaffray?" said Jerome, smirking. Mara playfully rolled her eyes.
"Pffttttt" she said, going back to the dance floor
Joy went up their room, and opened the door slightly. There was Patricia, lying on her bed listening to her headphones angrily. Patricia looked like she could be left to die. Patricia was motionless, except for the occasional bobbing of her head.
"Patricia? You okay?" Joy asked, but then realised it was a stupid question.
Patricia took out her headphones and rolled her eyes.
"Does it look like it? Is that what you honestly think" snarled Patricia, sitting up.
"Sorry" said Joy, walking into the room and sitting next to Patricia. Patricias eyes were streaked with tears. Her eyeliner was smudged and her mascara had run. Patricia almost looked like an emo panda.
"Patricia! You've been crying!" cried Joy, looking at Patricias face
"No! I haven't! I never cry!" Patricia said defensively, before turning away from Joy's brown eager eyes. Joy knew she was lying. They were best friends. No matter how hard you try, a best friend knows if you're lying.
"Patricia..."
Patricia angrily turned to Joy.
"What?! What do you want? Wait no- Don't even start. If your here to try to cheer me up, well just leave because its not going to work. I'm just annoyed and hurt. You might as well go away, cause I might hit you or something. I know what you all think of me anyway. Eddie pretty much explained it in his own words. Did you guys bother to back me up? No. You didn't. So whats the use huh?"
"Its not what you think Patricia. Do you really believe what Eddie says?" asked Joy, fixing her hair.
Patricia sighed.
"No. Honestly I don't Joy. But it hurt how he thinks that. You wouldn't know what its like. Fabian has never been that horrible to you" sighed Joy. Joy didn't know what to say. Patricia had a nasty habit of being right with things like this
"But-"
"No Joy. You don't get it. You won't get it. I just... I just need some time alone. I really do okay? Please..." said Patricia, resting her head in her hands. Joy nodded, and left the room. Secretly, Patricia didn't want Joy to go. She just didn't want to lash out of hurt her badly. It was hard dealing with things like this alone. Patricia needed comfort, but she pushed it away
"Im sorry..." Joy said, before shutting the door.
When Joy went downstairs, the others were discussing what to do next.
"Oh I know!" giggled Willow "Lets look for Slenderman outside!"
"YEAH!" said Alfie, taking this as the perfect opportunity to scare people. The others agreed, they thought it could be fun, except for Amber
"No! Im scared of him! Hes creepy!" cried Amber
"The man with no face, the tall man" said Jerome, laughing a bit.
"Come on Ambs, it'll be fun" said Alfie, putting his arm around Amber. Amber slapped his arm off and hesitantly agreed
"Well, we'll need some torches, so we can 'spot' him" said Amber.
"They're in the laundry room. I'll go get them" said Eddie, getting up.
"I'll come" said Raine, following him.
As soon as they were both out of the room, the other anubis house residents got into a huge discussion
"So. Honestly people, what do you think of Raine and Eddie?" asked Mara, as room as the laundry room door had shut.
"STUPID. They have like... NO CHEMISTRY" said Joy, frowning.
"Weird" said Jerome, rolling his eyes and holding Mara's hand
"Annoying" groaned Mara.
"Adorable!" whispered Amber,
"they seem OK"
"I LIKE HER BOWS IN RAINES HAIR!" giggled Willow. The others rolled their eyes. They all had the same opinion of 'Eddine'. They didn't really like it, but they supposed they were going to accept it, so they wouldn't cause anymore drama unlike Patricia. They still felt kind of bad, but most had sort of forgotten about it.
Eddie and Raine had a bit of a chat when they were in the laundry room
"Sorry about Patricia, she does that a lot" sighed Eddie, taking Raines hand.
"It's okay I guess. Its just my hair is really sticky now" said Raine sadly. Eddie looked down, thinking of the right thing to say
"Oh well, lets just hope she gets over it. She can't be mad forever" said Eddie after about a minute of silence. Raine smiled.
"Yeah, she seems like a total bitch" she said, grabbing the box of flashlights. Eddie didn't say anything, but just smiled sarcastically. Raine gave him the box of flashlights and they walked back to the group..
"Heres the flashlights!" Eddie said, throwing the torches at them.
"Yay! Lets go outside and look for him!" whispered Willow, running out the door. The others followed her laughing like loons.
They went outside. There was a cold breeze, and tree shadows everywhere but it seemed like the perfect weather and time to 'look' for Slenderman. Patricia, who was watching them from her window sighed. 'I bet they've forgotten about me already' she thought to herself. 'Even Joy'. Joy was hanging around Amber and laughing with her. Patricia wanted to scream and cry. She got out scissors and stared out the window. She cut her chest length hair, to a really short bob. The pieces of brown wavy hair fluttered to the ground.
No one knew that she was hurting like this
Patricia believed no one cared
"That'll teach them" cried Patricia, as she slammed the window shut.
