Authors Note: Heyyy guys! Sooooo time for Chapter 4. I hope you guys watched the PLL Halloween Episode and Ravenswood last night! I'll tell you my thoughts after the chapter.

"Jason?" His wife Grace said, walking into his classroom after hours. The room was dark, but you could still hear movement. "Hello?"
"Joy!" Jason whispered from in the closet. "What the hell are we going to do?!"
"Shut up." She spat. "We can continue once she leaves."
"I don't think she's leaving. I'm really late to get home." Jason admitted.
"Jason?!" Grace called again. "Come on, Jay. I know you're in here."
"Stop moving!" Jason scolded Joy.
"I'm sitting on an umbrella!" she cried. "Is there any other way out?!"
"No..."
"Well then shut up and pretend you're dead!"
"What?"
"Shut up!" Joy cried.
Eventually, the pair heard Grace's heals click out and were able to step out of the closet.
"Now THAT was close." Jason said, sighing.
"I've been in closer situations." Joy said, shrugging it off.
Jason sighed.
"You're right." he said, taking her hand as she sat herself on his desk. "You have been through so much more than me. And you're only 16."
"ALMOST 16." Joy corrected.
"How are you not breaking down in my arms? How is this not getting to you?" Jason asked.
"I'm being strong?" Joy said, shrugging.
"How?" Jason asked, suddenly wondering if she was maybe- on something.
"Are you suggesting I'm high?" Joy asked, squinting her eyes.
"After the trauma you've been through, I wouldn't be surprised."
"Well I'm not." Joy said, hesitantly. "So just drop it."
Joy couldn't risk him knowing. Not Jason. He was too important to her, and she knew he wouldn't let it go if he caught her "on something." She knew he cared about her. Maybe a little too much.
"Patricia, are you sure you don't want anymore mashed potatoes?" her mother asked.
"No. I'm sure. I'm done." Patricia insisted.
"You've barely touched your food." her mother said.
"I'm just not hungry. Is that a problem?" Patricia spat.
"Ok. Fine. You're accused. Do your homework or something productive." Her mother ordered.
Patricia ran up to her room and buried her face in her hands. She wasn't going to cry. No, Patricia Williamson doesn't cry. Ever. Not under any circumstance.
She HATED Tai. How did one horrible girl have the power to make her feel so bad about herself? As far as she was concerned, Tai was just going by her first impression of Patricia. That's what people saw when they looked at her. Some emo fat ass who belonged in a psycho ward. She didn't even deserve to have friends.
She got a text:
Can we talk?
-Eddie
She replied:
How the hell did you get my number?
The Response:
Just meet me behind the school.
Patricia:
R u planning 2 rape me or something?
Eddie:
Plz just come. It's important.
"Ok, what's so important?" Patricia asked, meeting Eddie behind the school.
"Tai told me something about you." Eddie told her.
And Patricia actually wanted to cry. Tai told Eddie something bad about her now? How could Tai know anything about her?!
"I honestly don't wanna know at this point." she said.
"Can I please tell you what she told me?"
Patricia stomach was in knots. Of course she wanted to know what it was that Tai had said. Of course she wanted to kill Tai for it. But she knew that Tai would win the war. She knew that eventually Tai and Eddie would end up as a happy couple together, plotting ways to make her kill herself, and she didn't see why she should trust him.
"How can I trust that you aren't just part of her evil plan?" Patricia asked.
"Evil plan?!" Eddie cried.
"I know she's into you, and there's a good chance you're into her too."
"Why would you think I was into HER?"
"Because you told her all those jokes, and she laughed... And you actually looked like a couple." Patricia admitted.
"Oh my god, you were jealous."
"No I wasn't. I'm not into you LIKE THAT."
"Ya, no, I know... Just forget it. Why should I care if you don't trust me." Eddie said.
"Fine, thanks for wasting my time doofus." Patricia said smirking.
Once she'd walked away, Patricia suddenly felt confused. She'd just talked to Eddie for what, a minute, and then he, the one who started the conversation, just ended it. Tai must have told him something really bad if it made him that uncomfortable.
Eddie looked down at the text Tai had sent him again.
You KNOW Patricia likes you, so whats stopping you from asking her out? Are you chicken?
-Tai
Now thinking about it, he realized it had been a set up. Tai knew Patricia didn't like Eddie, but she wanted them both to be left hurt. She was truly a creature of evil.
"Patricia aren't you hungry?" Mara asked the next day at lunch.
"No." Patricia said.
"But it's pasta day... You know one of the decent lunches?"
"Ya well pasta has a lot of carbs..." Patricia mumbled.
"What? Why do you care?"
"Patty, let what Tai said go." Joy said. "Seriously, she's just trying to piss you off! It isn't true! At all!"
"But.. Is it really?" Patricia said.
"YES! Hold on a second..." Joy said getting up.
Patricia gave Mara a confused look when Joy returned with Eddie.
"Eddie," Joy said, "Do you think Patricia has a fat ass?"
"WHAT?" Eddie asked, appalled by the question.
"You've looked at it enough times." Joy murmured.
"Of course she doesn't." Eddie said.
"He can't even look me in the eye and say it, cause it's true." Patricia said.
"Who told you you had a fat ass?" Eddie asked.
"Tai." Patricia told him.
"That's why you didnt trust me..." Eddie realized. Patricia nodded. "Tai's jealous of you. She really is."
"No she isn't. She's like perfect." Patricia said sadly.
"Far from it." Joy said. "Stop taking what she says to heart. Now EAT."
Joy clutched her phone close to her. What? Was Tai trying to make her even more miserable? She read the text over.
Don't want your teacher "friend" to get a hold of your weed now do you? Well, I suppose I'll keep it a secret. For now.
What confused her is why the text was from a blocked number. And why it wasn't signed by Tai. Was it actually Tai? What was she saying? Of course it was. It had to be Tai. Tai was devious enough to figure out not one, but two of her secrets.
Author's Note: I promise that's hardly the start to the Patricia storyline! I can't tell you whether or not she will end up with an eating disorder, but let's just say for now, she's going to be fine... This is like the "pre-plot" to what will happen in the future :) Sorry it was so short! Next one is a good one!
PLL: One word. Disappointed. I'm sure a lot of you guys loved it and thought it was great. I liked it. However, Marlene and the other writers have been going on for months about how this was "The best episode ever!" and "It's so shocking!" I wasn't shocked one bit. I knew Ali was alive, let's face it, it was pretty obvious. I did enjoy Ezra going all pedo though. "You forgot your phone." *Obnoxiously looks for Ali.*
Ravenswood: WOW. Like this is what PLL should've been. I was impressed. The set was amazing, it was pretty shocking, it was scary, the plot was fantastic and the characters are all interesting! I think it's off to an amazing start. However, I do feel Haleb VS. Maleb is going to be Peddie VS. Keddie the sequel.
Responses:
Peddieismylife: Thank you so much3
creativemind614: Patty is going to crack, come back together and then completely break. Warning you now!
Houseofanubislover89:Well, no guarantees she's on the J Team... however she has a role in their reveal. She's going to look very guilty for a while though... she's definitely guilty of something. You'll get a sense of that next chapter.
sinfullysarcastic: The books are amazing! Oh my gosh, it drives me insane! It just makes me feel so bad! Exactly, relationships are awkward when they're formed from something like that. I promise, I definitely put a bit of a twist on it. I want her to come out stronger, then break, then be the strongest she's ever been-if that makes sense. Thank you for the virtual hug :) I'm feeling much better now!
HOAlover4life: Thanks :) I'm much happier and healthier now. But thank you! Tai was one big bitch.
Sibuna4260: Tai really needs to watch her mouth! Otherwise someone may have to shut it for her! Haha.
bondlikesuperglue: Oh, she gets sluttier. Haha I've only seen like 5 episodes of Glee from Season 1, so I promise I'm not ripping it off! Kik me!
hbhs12: Welcome to the party! But, Tai isn't definitely J, but I'd put her on the suspect list. Soon you'll get a huge clue telling you exactly where she stands in all this.
prettylittlepeddie (I used your user name): People were begging me to go all "Hefty Hanna" on her. But I didn't want to make her actually fat. But, Tai has a huge role!
corrintaylor: No guarantees as to what will happen to Patty, all I can say is it's a roller coaster.
ThisisMartinN: I don't think she'll take it that far just yet. At the moment, she's still questioning Tai's honesty in the comment. Something will come along soon and change everything!
Torispeace: Thank you:) Well, after the Halloween special you may think differently, but at least it's good for now! Haha, this means war, and Eddie may just be the prize!
