Eddies POV
I walked silently along the hallway; I really wanted to know what was going on. I had finally reached Victors office door, I gave a small knock.
"Come in", I heard Trudy's voice, but this time it sounded different.
The door crackled as I opened the door. Trudy was busy dusting some of victor's shelves.
"Trudy?"I said quietly
Her eyes were blood shot as though she had been crying "Eddie I have some bad news", Trudy said in a calm voice. Her eyes filled with tears, you could tell she was trying not to cry. I didn't say anything I just let her carry on.
"sweetie, I'm very sorry, but your dad and Patricia's parents and Piper have all been killed in the same car accident", she took a deep breath, I could feel the tears coming "Patricia's family were coming to the school when they hit Eric going away from the school, I have no idea where he was going but he didn't make it". Trudy was now crying. She grabbed a hanky chief out of her pocket and dabbed her eyes. "There's more Eddie, at the end of this term you have to go back to America to live"
One tear drop fell at a time; I slowly fell back against the wall. I let the new pieces of information soak in.
"I'm just going to go", I mumbled to Trudy who was wiping her eyes.
I left the room, quickly and slammed the door. I ran down the stairs to my room and once I was in there with the door shut. I cried. I cried because I didn't even get to know my father. I cried for Patricia. I cried because I know my dad didn't make it to the police station. I cried because I know I have to g back to America for good, back to my abusive home.
I sat in my room for two hours leaning against my cupboard, and then I got a gentle knock on my door. I quickly cleaned myself up. I looked into my wall mirror. I looked awful my hair was a mess and my eyes were blood shot. I wiped my eyes again and again just making them puffier.
"Come in", I said in a crumbled voice.
Patricia was standing there, looking just like me but worse. I stood up immediately and she ran into my open arms.
