Together

by peddiegirl101

Eddie is back again for a summer with his girlfriend! With college and engagement stress, it's going to be a hard few months, but as long as the power couple is together, everything is great, right? Except for more drama, little sad moments, and twists, everything is just fine! Or maybe not... *Rated T for mentions of rape, ect.* *I recommend reading the other books first*

4. Chapter 4

Meet me outside your house at 8? I'll pick you up and we can go out. Just you and me, Yacker. (:

-Eddie

Patricia reread Eddie's text again. It was 8:30 and he still hadn't shown up yet. Patricia carefully sat down on a chair on her porch, trying to prevent getting her black skinny jeans or red tank top dirty.

Elizabeth looked up from the bills she was going over for the café and noticed her daughter was still waiting for her boyfriend. She checked her watch; Eddie was over two hours late now.

Patricia hadn't been expecting her mother to come out, so she jumped when she did.

"Mum." Patricia halfheartedly groaned.

"Honey, come in. It's getting cold." Elizabeth put a blanket around her daughter.

"No." Patricia shook her head and looked away. "He's just late. He'll be here any minute now."

"Patricia…" Elizabeth put a hand on her daughter's shoulder.

Patricia looked down. "He's not coming, is he?"

"I'm sorry, baby. Maybe he forgot."

"How could he forget?" Patricia tried to hold back the tears she had forming in her eyes.

"It happens." Elizabeth offered.

"If he can't show up to something as simple a a date he planned, how am I going to be able to trust that he'll show up to something like our wedding?"

"You don't know the story, Patricia. Maybe he's sick and couldn't call?"

"Drew would've called." Patricia softly replied.

"Why don't you call him?" Elizabeth asked.

"Drew?"

"See what Eddie's up to." Patricia's mother called over her shoulder.

Patricia sighed and pulled out her phone, dialing Drew's number.

"Hello? Trixie?" Drew asked. It sounded like he was playing video games while he answered the phone.

"Is Eddie around?"

"No," Drew paused to shoot another villain. "He left awhile ago to go over to his dad's house and then head off for your date. Did he not show or something?"

"No, he didn't." Patricia answered.

"I don't know, then. I'll have him call you when or if he comes back." Drew continued talking over the firing guns. "Bye!"

"Wait—" Patricia started to interrupt him, but wasn't fast enough. "Great." She mumbled.

Hi! Sorry I've been bad for updating! I had some… stuff to take care of (mainly school). But I'm back now! And ready to gooooo!

Kind of. Grades come first. So, if I don't update for a bit, I probably had a test or something.

What do you think? Let me know!
