Wow, you all must hate me for that last chapter, and you'll hate me even more for this chapter, but I assure you that the next chapter will be SO much better with Patch back in her life. It wouldn't be a Hush, Hush fanfic without some drama. My friends idea (he's a dude and has never read the book) was to have Nora blow up the house, but I told him he was an idiot and that Nora would never do it. Anyways, enjoy this chapter, and don't hate me for the cliff hanger ending. This one is dedicated to my best friend, for hating me for making Patch leave.

My heart hurt and I didn't control my actions anymore, and before I realized what was going on, I was going back to the house. When I got there, I moved in, knowing something was wrong right away. It smelled too heavily of vinegar mixed with other smells. I moved into the kitchen and found out why. Nora had had a cow when I left, and everything was thrown everywhere . As if saved in an echo, I heard her voice ring out "Patch! I hate you!" wherever she was, she was pissed.

I missed her so deeply, just being in a place she'd been hurt. I was about to eave when something glittered in a pile of strewn about chips. Recognition burned in my chest as the ring came into shape. She'd left her wedding ring. What she must think of me now, skipping out on her the day after having sex with her. I winced and bent to pick up the ring. I shoved it into my pocket and ran into the bedroom to pick up my ring.

"Nora!" I called, praying my voice somehow reached her "I'll never stop looking for you!"

I sniffled and dried up my tears at sundown and left the beach, covered in sand and salty water. I got up and moved off the beach, hoping no one noticed my leaving. I walked aimlessly until the street lamps flickered on. I moved into town and went up to a hotel, paying for a room with the money Patch had left me. I moved up into the room, tossing my bag into the room. I stripped out of my clothes and took a shower. After I finished showering, I changed into a bikini, grabbed a towel and headed down to the pool.

When I got there, there were a ton of teenaged guys there, they all looked my age. I ditched my towel and dove into the luke-warm water. All the guys there whooped and hollered when I surfaced, and a few of them came up to me. I giggled at their jokes and tried to forget Patch, one of the guys was cute, so I zeroed in on him. He and I exchanged numbers, and I told 'em I had to go.

"Sorry, it's time for me to go." I said, smiling broadly.

"Oh, come on!" he said, wrapping an arm around my waist and dragging me closer.

"I would thank you kindly" said a hauntingly familiar voice from the door "If you would get your filthy, grubby hands off my wife"

Who knew that she and I would end up in the same hotel. It was as if fate had brought us together all over again. But it was not fate that she was there with that douche that had been making her giggle like an idiot.

She whirled out of his grip, and glared at me.

"His wife?" The douche asked, tapping her shoulder.

"Oh… I'm sorry" she said, thickening her voice chalk full of sarcasm "I think you have me mixed up with someone else. Maybe I just remind you of your wife?"

"Nora, I would thank you kindly if you got the Hell out of that pool, and come let me explain things" I said, my voice terse.

"I really can't. I don't know who you are. Sorry" She said, shrugging slightly.

I tore off my shirt and dove into the water, hooking her around the waist and dragging her out kicking and screaming. I took her to my room and tossed her down on the sofa. She kept screaming , and finally I covered her lips with mine.

She shoved my shoulders and I stumbled backward.

"You lost all rights to me when you left that house! I would thank you kindly if you let me go." She threatened angrily.

"No." I said.

"Fine then, but I swear on every angel in heaven that if you touch me in anyway shape or form I will beg heaven to take me back. I hate you with every fiber of my being!" she screamed. I felt to slapped in the face to do anything else but stare at her blankly. She began to glow, and my eyes widened, but soon enough I was forced to close my eyes from the brightness, but when I reopened my eyes Nora was nowhere in sight.

Hehehe, I told you I'd do a cliff hanger. Try not to hate me, everything will be explained tomorrow. And then on Friday, y'all get a new surprise… maybe more lemons… maybe something different. It all depends on what you ask for. And what my best friend wants. So review or might torture you all more… Anyways, I hope you don't hate me too much right now, and please, be patient.
