I am so sorry, you guys. I know this is late, but I had a lot of work to do. Sadly, this is the last prewritten chapter, from now on, updates will be late. Maybe a week? Anyways, enjoy this chapter, there's a lot of drama.
Chapter 4
Patricia had run out of tears to cry. She was mentally berating herself for crying as much as she did. She was Patricia Williamson, a tough girl that never showed weakness. She sighed, looking at the cuts and bruises that marred her boyfriend's face.
"I wish it was me." Patricia whispered, solemnly. "I wish I could take your place."
Desperately, she wanted to throw her arms around Eddie. Assure herself that he was okay. That he was alive. The only indication was his beeping heart monitor.
"Patricia?" A nurse entered the room, carrying a medium sized velvet box.
"Yes?" Patricia stared at the box, wondering what it contained.
"This was found in Eddie's pocket. I'm so sorry." The nurse handed the box to her, and walked out of the room. Patricia opened the box and gasped. Inside, lay a beautiful silver necklace with a heart pendant in the middle. On the front of the heart, the word, Yacker, was engraved. Patricia flipped the heart over. As she read the engraving on the back, tears began to stream down her cheeks. It said, To my beautiful Yacker, who I will love forever and always. Patricia then realized that their one year anniversary was in 3 days.
"E-E-Eddie," Patricia sobbed. "Oh Eddie, please, y-you can't l-leave me for our anniversary."
"Trixie?" Joy appeared at the doorway, Amber close behind. "Oh Trixie, it's okay." Joy ran over and pulled Patricia into a hug. Across the room, Amber was doing the same with Nina.
"Neens, you need to calm down." Amber ordered. Just hearing her nickname, made Nina sob harder. Fabian thought of the name. Fabian. Just thinking about him, made her miss him more than ever. She grasped his limp hand in hers, squeezing hard.
~~LINEBREAK~~
Mara sobbed into Jerome's shirt. She was so close to losing him. She still couldn't believe he was alive, and the fact that she was in his arms.
"Mars, it's okay. I'm okay, really." Jerome was surprised. Mara never acted like this. She was always so…strong. Seeing her so broken was shattering Jerome's heart.
Alfie and Mick were confused. Where were Fabian and Eddie? What had happened to them? Were they okay?
Suddenly, Nina burst into the room, her face stained with tears and her eyes wide.
"Amber and Joy," she gasped.
Instantly, Alfie and Mick were alert. "What happened?" Alfie demanded.
"A-Amber started feeling light headed and she fainted." Nina whimpered. "And Joy, she's hyperventilating."
"WHAT?!" Alfie and Mick shouted in unison. Nina nodded, and Patricia came up behind, carrying Amber. Gently, she placed her on Alfie's bed. Alfie immediately gathered her into his arms, kissing her forehead.
Nina left the room, and was back a few minutes later, leading in a sobbing, hyperventilating, Joy. When she saw Mick, Joy threw herself at him, burying her face in his chest.
"Aww, Joy, what happened?" Mick cooed, gently wrapping his arms around her and rubbing her back,
"After Amber fainted," Patricia began. "Joy started to sob and then it turned into that and…."
Jerome nodded for the three of them. "What's the story with Fabian and Eddie?"
"Um….uh…" Patricia looked for the words to tell them.
"Tell us, Patricia." Jerome demanded.
"They're both in comas!" Nina cried, more tears sliding down her cheeks.
Mick and Alfie both looked at her. "What?"
Patricia nodded, wrapping an arm around Nina's shoulders.
"Alright." Jerome tried to stay strong. "I'll send Mara over in a few minutes."
"Okay," Patricia replied. "We're gonna go back."
The boys nodded, and Patricia led Nina back to Fabian and Eddie's room. She collapsed into a chair beside Eddie's bed, while Nina stood next to Fabian's head, grasping his hand.
"Fabian…I don't know how to say this," Nina began. "I love you more than life itself. You're the best boyfriend anyone could ask for. You've always been faithful and kind. When we started Sibuna, you were so patient and kind. I love you for that. I need you, Fabes. I've just realized how much I need you in my life. I'm nothing without you. I've tried to be strong….I just can't."
"Slimeball…I'm not sure how I should say this," Patricia started. "I love you so much. I remember when I hated you with a passion because you're American. I remember when I realized I had feeling for you. How I told Joy, because I was afraid to reveal my true feelings. I'm still a little scared. I love you more than life itself…it's just hard for me to say it, you know? I'm not the kind of person who puts her feelings out in the open for everyone to see. I love that fact that you understand me. When no one else does, you're always there. When I fall, you're there, ready to pick up the pieces. I'm going to reveal something, cockroach. I'm broken. I'm broken without you. I just realized that. I can't do anything without you. I know that if you can hear me, you'll laugh at me for being a wuss and all, but it's true. This is all the truth."
"That was beautiful, Patricia," Nina whispered. "I never knew you felt like that."
"Well, this is between me and my slimeball, so don't tell anyone, yeah?" Patricia replied.
"Okay." Nina nodded. "I'm still getting used to the way you British people speak"
"Aww, is the American having trouble?" Patricia teased, smiling.
Nina glared at her, then turned to Fabian. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't be crying so much. I'm 'The Chosen One'"
"Y-You're also m-my C-Chosen O-One"
How was that? What do you guys think of Patricia's character? Is she too vulnerable? I'm trying to bring out a different side in her, a side only Eddie knows about. Tell me how I did. The next chapter will be up soon, I actually have to write it, this time. xD Anyways, please leave me a review~ Oh! By the way, have any of you guys heard One Direction's new album Take Me Home? I'm listening to it as I write. The songs are so good~ Okay, I'll stop now. Bye!
