"So are you and Eddie good then?" Joy questioned a bit later in her, Patricia, and Mara's bedroom. She smiled a tiny bit as she folded a shirt and laid it away in her dresser drawer. Patricia nodded as she looked up from the magazine in her hands.

"Yeah, I think so," She answered as she smiled. The look on their housemates' faces had been priceless, and yet, by that time, they were still confused. Neither Patricia nor Eddie had brought up the summer yet, that is other than Joy.

The room fell silent again, other then Patricia, who kept filling pages in the magazine in her hands. She kept replaying the scene in her mind, but considering that it had only been fifteen minutes since it happened. Her face wrapped in Eddie's fingers, and his soft lips on top of her own. The smile on his lips, and the smile on her own, it was there and bright. The shock on her pale eyes when he pulled her into his arms. But she knew that there was a smile inside of there too, and the longing to kiss him.

"Did you see Jerome's face when you two came inside?" Joy said with a bold smile on her lips. She rolled over to her stomach to face her best friend, who laid on top of her own bed, across the room.

"Did you really think that I wouldn't?" The redhead added with a laugh. The prankster's eyes had grown so wide that they all thought that his eyes would fall out, his hand's had cupped over his mouth, the same way her's had when she found out about her mother. "I did," She had, Jerome's face had been the face that popped out at her.

By the time dinner rolled around, everyone was starving, not just for food, for information. For information about what went down between Eddie and Patricia out in the rain.

Patricia sat down between Eddie and Joy with a small smile on her lips. She quickly glanced at Eddie as she took a bite of her pasta salad in front of her. Jerome so poke up first, and he turned his attention to Eddie, who had his arm over Patricia's shoulders as he ate his dinner.

"May I ask what was with the two of you today?" He put his fist underneath his chin as he spoke with a funny looking smile on his face. "It was like you were very familiar with each other if I do say so myself. And Trixie, wow I never pegged you as the love story, kissing in the rain type of thing." The redhead rolled her eyes at him but a smug smile appeared on her lips. Before she could say anything though, the house phone rang. Trudy ran to get it, but as soon as she answered, she turned to the students.

"Patricia, phone call sweetie," She handed the phone to the redhead as she walked over to answer. Trudy left the room, as she knew that Patricia would want to have son privacy.

"Hello?" She said as she spoke into the cord phone. She pressed her body up against the side of the staircase, with the phone on her ear. She bit her lip, and nervously looked at her shoes.

"Hi Sweetie!" Her breath caught in her throat, and she smiled a tiny bit.

"Aunt Marie," She breathed sofly as a smile plastered on her face. She hadn't heard from her aunt since a week after she left America. "Is everything alright?" She heard the raspy sound in her aunt's voice as she spoke the first time. She had heard it before, it was the same tone they both her aunt mother had used when her father died.

"Why would you think it wasn't?" But her Aunt Marie's voice held that tone, that Patricia knew far to well. She sighed a bit, and moved closer to the staircase.

"Because I know that tone in your voice," She as said sofly, and it scared her.. There were so many possibilities roaming around in her mind, to many.

"I couldn't get ahold of your sister, and your phone, so I called here.." She heard her aunt's voice crack slightly.

"What's wrong!" Patricia squeaked, she wanted to know and Marie just kept putting it off. She wanted to know right then.. Something had to be wrong.

"Sweetie, you mom's dead," Her blood ran cold as it sunk in, she was dead, she got what she wanted. "She killed herself this morning, overdose," Why didn't it surprise her? The redhead almost felt relief.. Why? She really didn't know, but when she heard her aunt's voice again on the other end of the line, it startled her. "I know, I thought the same thing, when I found out too, but don't worry alright? I'm going to be flying out there on Sunday." Again, she felt relief.. She knew that she needed someone.. Her mum was dead, her father was dead, her sister was at school, maybe.. She was alone.

"Okay," She finally whispered. "I'll see you then."

"It's going to be okay Patricia, you'll see, love you,"

"I love you too Aunt Marie," she said again, as he placed the phone back in to its holder. She laid her head back and it hit the wood. Her eyes felt wet, and she shut them before the tears fell. Her mum got what she wanted, she left..
