I do not own HoA. (though I own Eugene, no, sadly not Eugene Simon.. but i wish he's mine! xD)


Chapter 7:

Jerome's POV:

I did this to her. Trixie got hurt because of me. How stupid can I be? But I didn't know. I like her, but only as a friend. I look at Nina, her hands in mine. We were at her room with everyone else.

"I think we should check her room." She said. We all stood up and headed for the door. We were all worried sick. I gave Nina's hand a squeeze to reassure her. She squeezed back.

When we reached the room she shares with Mara and Joy we searched the room. Amber was the first to find something.

"Look, guys! A note!" Amber exclaimed. I noticed something shiny under Patricia's pillow. I grabbed it. It was her phone.

"Funny, she left this behind." I said. "Seems like she doesn't want to be found."

"What does the note say?" Mara asked Amber.

Amber read the note. "Guys, I know you are worried. By the time you read this I will be far from you all. Don't try to find me. You'll just give yourselves a hard time. Jerome, don't be sorry I left. I know you love Nina. Nina, please take care of Jerome for me. I might hate you now but at least I won't be there to be mean to you again. Joy and Mara, you are the best, both of you. I will never forget you. Thank you for everything, take care. Alfie, keep up with your pranks and jokes. You are so cool. Amber, you are pretty but you annoy me sometimes. Sorry I was mean at times. You can be smart you know. Mick, hey meathead. Don't break Mara's heart or I'll sneak back and kill you. That's all guys. I love you all and I will never forget any of you but this is the best. I'm still alive. Don't worry about this Goth Trixie. Goodbye Anubis. Love, Patricia." Amber paused. "That's all guys. She really doesn't want us to find her."

I feel terrible. You're such a horrible person, Jerome.

I can't believe Patricia could do such a stupid thing.

Patricia's POV:

I took the next bus I see without looking where it would go. I just want to be far from my life here.

I listened to my iPod for the next 2 hours until I fall asleep at a quarter past noon.

When I wake up I see that it's still sunny. The driver tells me that it's the last stop and I should go down. I look at the time. It's only 2:30 in the afternoon.

"Where is this place?" I ask the driver.

"The outskirts of London, miss." He said politely.

"Oh, thanks." I told him, as I went and got off the bus.

I knew London since I live here. I could not be here or else my mum will see me. I need to take a bus out of here.

I thought quickly then took a cab to downtown London.

When I got there I went to Hyde Park and I suddenly realized my parents are gone for the whole term since they are traveling to Germany. My older sister is studying in Paris. No one's at home.

I take another cab and I went to our house. Luckily, I brought my keys with me. I went inside and went to my room. I will stay here for a few days.

~later that day~

I decide to eat out. I went to my favorite resto, Marciano's.

I quickly take a seat at the nearest booth.

"Good evening, Madamoiselle." The waiter told me. "I am Eugene and I am here to serve you, may I take your order?"

"One Alfredo pasta and a can of Coke." I told him without looking at him.

"Is that all?" He asks me. I turn to glare at him and I saw his face.

He had green eyes and dark brown hair but he looked just like Jerome.

"Yes, that's all, but can I interest you for a drink later?" I tell him. Patricia, what the hell are you doing?

"I am honored, but my shift does not end until 9 could you wait?" He said as a hint of a smile escaped his face.

"Oh, don't worry about that. I bet Marcy wouldn't mind if I asked her to let you out early." I beamed at him.

"You know her?" He asked me, surprised at what I said.

"Of course! My family is very close with her family." I tell Eugene.

"Woah. Who are you? Uhh, I mean what's your name?" He asked me.

"I'm Patricia." I tell him confidently.

"You're Patricia Williamson?" He asked me.

"Yup." I tell him casually.

"Oh. I thought Patricia Williamson would be a snobbish, pinch-nosed girl with blonde hair and wears designer outfits and is covered in makeup 24/7." He tells me honestly. Oh, I'm not my mum.

"Well, I most certainly not that kind of girl. Though I know a girl just like that but she's not snobbish and pinch-nosed." I said, he described me like a mean and snobbish Amber. I laugh at that thought.

"What's funny?" he asks me.

"Nothing. I just remembered something." I said. "When you place my order can you tell Marcy I want to talk to her."

"Yes, of course and I'll do just that now." He turned and headed for the kitchen.

A few minutes later a woman in her 20s with black hair appeared from the kitchen. She headed for me.

"Hey there, Patricia!" Marcy greeted me as she approached. She took the seat in front of me. "What seems to be the problem? And why is your hair like mine?"

"My hair? Dyed it. Oh can you let Eugene off early? I invited him to a few drinks." I tell her.

"You fancy him! So perfect. He's about your age and he works here on weekends. Of course I'll let you, but don't get drunk." She said cheerfully. "Wait! Aren't you supposed to be in that boarding school in Liverpool?"

"Yeah, but umm, I ran away 'cause my stupidness broke my heart and I want to take some time off. Don't tell Mum or Dad. Okay, Marciana?" I tell her with a threatening tone in my last sentence. She hates her real name.

"Yeah, sure, just don't call me that horrible name in public." She tells me as she looks behind her. "Looks like your order and your date is here."

"Marciana!" I yell at her.

"Fine." Then she turns to leave. "See ya later." She adds with a wink.


No cliffhangers! Sorry if the place Patricia ends up in is boring but I promise this will get more interesting.

Next chapter is Patricia's date with Eugene and something surprising. REVIEW.
