Sorting

A.N. This story isn't done yet, I'm still thinking of how it will end. I won't put up another update after I write it until I get a few reviews. Enjoy.

Nina's POV

I could tell when Eddie said that he wasn't entirely over Patricia. He hadn't broken up with her, but when I asked him, he told me he wasn't entirely sure she had broken up with him. I think Eddie was in denial about the situation.

Eddie left me on the staircase alone when he walked back into his room. I sighed and walked up to my room where Amber was putting away all of her clothes; she brought so much.

"Hey, Nins, where did you go off to?" I sat on my bed and smiled at her with tight lips.

"I went to go see Eddie, just so you know." I replied and Amber stopped what she was doing.

"You still can't get him off of your mind, you two are going to hurt each other and other people so much, you know?" I nodded and Amber sat beside me, wrapping her arms around my shoulders and her head on my shoulder.

"I can't stop thinking about him. I guess I kind of like him." I felt better to admit that to someone! But it unfortunately didn't get rid of everything that had happened the last two days.

"Can't believe I am saying this, but I think you need to try to ignore Eddie for a while. It's what you both need." My eyes widened and I moved away a little so I could see her face properly.

"Who are you, and what have you done with my Amber?" Amber rolled her eyes at me.

"I know I am always the one who wants people to get together, but I think you and Eddie may need to spend some time a part to let things settle." I turned one corner of my mouth up for a moment and then it dropped. I couldn't keep a smile up around unsettling matters around Amber.

Amber changed the subject to make me feel a bit better; it worked until we were called downstairs for supper. That meant I needed to see Eddie, Patricia and Fabian for a meal and dish duty.

I tried to not say anything during supper and it worked, I only really talked to Amber. I looked at Eddie a few times and saw that he and Patricia kept glancing at each other over dinner. Well, it looked like they were back together and I would be alone because Fabian would probably never want to talk to me again. I couldn't blame him though.

I sat in the corner of the living room when the dishes were cleaned and started to read one of the many books that were in this house not about Ancient Egypt. I looked up when my shoulder was tapped. Fabian was sitting beside me.

"Hey, Nina." He whispered to me and I closed my book.

"I thought you would never have talked to me again." He shrugged at me.

"I think that just because we broke up, it doesn't mean we have to make things awkward and not talking, right?" I nodded in response and we smiled at each other.

That became one less thing to worry about, but my feelings for Eddie were still hanging around me. How was I going to stand being around Eddie when I saw that he possibly could be dating Patricia again with how much they looked at one another?

It hurt to think about that but maybe it would be better if Eddie and Patricia were happy, it would give me peace of mind that he didn't need me.

But I couldn't accept that he could be dating Patricia again, I liked him too much from that point.
