"It wasn't me." Ava shook her head. "I wish I could say it was, but it wasn't."

"What do you mean you 'wish'?" Patricia asked, glancing at Eddie out of the corner of her eye. Not surprisingly, Eddie looked skeptical.

"I wish I had come up with those rumors." Ava rolled her eyes. "But I didn't."

"Are you buying this?" Patricia mumbled to Eddie.

"Nope." He replied.

"I can see why you don't." Ava shrugged. "But think about it; if you blame me, then whoever has been spreading the rumors about you will still be wandering around, saying stuff."

"She's got a point." Patricia quietly admitted.

"I know I do." Ava replied. "So, blame me if you want, but the rumors won't stop."

"You know, she's actually right." Eddie said.

"Don't act like it's a big surprise." Ava rolled her eyes.

Eddie just ignored her. "If it's not Ava, who could it be?"

"I honestly have no idea. I was almost certain it was Ava." Patricia shrugged.

"Hello? Still here!" Ava waved her hand.

"Leave." Patricia snapped.

"Well then." Ava rolled her eyes and stood up. "When you find out who it was, let me know. I seriously want to talk to them and find out where their inspiration comes from." She flipped her hair and left.

"Great." Patricia rested her pounding head on the table. "I'm doomed."

Eddie softly placed his hand on her back and rubbed it slowly. "We'll figure it out, Yacker."

She slowly lifted her head. "And what if we don't?"

"Then maybe they'll stop if we don't react." Eddie unsurely suggested.

Patricia put her head back down on the cold table. "Yeah. Maybe." She sighed, and then lifted her head. "Listen, we have to talk."

"Isn't that what we're doing?" Eddie joked. He laughed until he realized how serious the look on his girlfriend's face was. "Right. Sorry."

"I've been thinking about my future lately." Patricia began.

"Uh oh." Eddie felt his heart quicken.

"Shut up, Slimeball." Patricia said to him. "Anyway, I was thinking about how we lived in two different countries and—"

"And you want to break up?" Eddie held his feelings inside him.

"What?! That was not where I was going!" Patricia shook her head.

"Then where were you going with that?"

"I wasn't going to break up with you!" She exclaimed, getting out of her seat. "Is that what you want me to do?!"

"No! Of course it isn't!" Eddie stood up also.

"Then why did you suggest it?!"

"Because it sounded like a break up talk!"

"So now you're trying to get rid of me?!" Patricia folded her arms over her chest.

"Yacker, no! I—"

"I thought you were always there for me, like you said!"

"I am, Patricia! You know that!"

"Really? Because it doesn't look like it from where I'm standing!" She brushed past Eddie and headed out the door.

"Are you guys okay?" Piper approached Eddie slowly, not wanting to upset the blonde more.

"I don't know right now, Piper." Eddie sighed and ran a hand through his hair. He sighed again and sat back down in his seat.

"Was it the 'college talk'?"

Eddie looked up at Piper. "What do you mean?"

"Well, she was supposed to talk to you about colleges…" Piper trailed off.

"Yeah, well that didn't happen." Eddie slumped further in his seat.

"Nice job, Eddie." Piper rolled her eyes. "You should probably go apologize."

"But I didn't do anything." Eddie replied.

"So you're going to wait for my stubborn sister to apologize?" Piper rolled her eyes again. "Smart idea." She said sarcastically.

"Good point." Eddie agreed.

"Bottom line: you guys are in love with each other, so why throw it away over a stupid argument?"

"I don't know…" Eddie sighed again. "I guess I'll go find her."

"Please do." Piper nodded. She gave Eddie one last encouraging smile and then went back into the kitchen.

But Eddie didn't realize exactly how much Patricia needed him at the moment.

Dun dun dun! I'm evil, yes!

And sorry I haven't updated a lot! I found out one of my horses has navicular syndrome, which is where the tissue and navicular bone in the hoof begin to degenerate. So I've been taking care of her and then parents decided we needed more family time and… yeah.

Also, I most likely won't see you guys again till Monday! We have to drive to my uncle's place in St. Maries, which is an hour away from where I live to see fireworks for the fourth of July and then I have a horse show all weekend. Sorry! :/

Someone asked me about how many chapters the story had left, and I would say 3 or 4. At least 3, and then another one after this! Twitter people got advantage to knowing that on Saturday while I was at Hoopfest! Which was AWFUL, by the way… It RAINED AND RAINED AND RAINED and then thundered. :P

One final note:

Thanks, xXAquaMangoXx for the fun text messages these past couple days! And the Fosters is one of my favorite shows now! Haha glad I got you addicted! (:

See you... whenever! ;)
