"Patricia, wait!" Piper called after her sister. "Please!"

Patricia kept running, wiping tears from her eyes. She wasn't totally sure where she was going. But she wasn't so sure she cared, either. She just kept going, ignoring her sister's pleas to slow down. She eventually had to stop to catch her breath. She was in front of Williamson's diner.

"Patricia?" she heard a male voice ask. "Are you okay?"

She looked up to see Fabian Rutter's face. Fabian was a long time friend of hers, and even though he was a bit of a nerd, she still liked hanging out with him and Joy.

"Yes." She lied. He gave her a look. "No." she admitted.

"What's wrong?"

"Eddie… kissed Ava." Patricia panted, out of breath from the run and from the anxiety of seeing her boyfriend—whom she trusted- kiss another girl.

"Eddie, as in my neighbor, Eddie?" Fabian asked her.

"I guess. He was also my boyfriend, Fabian."

"That's what I heard. But I thought it was just gossip." Fabian shrugged. "I'm really sorry, Patricia." He put a comforting hand on the taller girl's shoulder. "I know you've been having a hard time lately."

"Patricia!" Piper gasped for breath. "You finally stopped." She bent over, putting her hands on her knees.

"Listen, Piper—"

"Really quick, before you lecture me about how I can't talk you out of being made at Eddie. You should know that Ava kissed him.

"And he let her, Piper." Patricia rolled her tear-filled eyes.

"No! You showed up at the wrong moment! He pushed her off of him as soon as she kissed him." Piper continued panting. Fabian quickly backed away from the dramatic scene.

"What do you mean?"

"He didn't kiss back, Patricia. She was flirting with him and he kept pushing her away. I was right down the aisle from them."

"But—"

"Trixie, Eddie's not the bad guy here!" Piper insisted.

"How do I know that you're not just saying that to make me happy? Apparently everybody knows that I have been having a difficult time!" Patricia's face turned a deeper shade of red.

"Trixie, you don't understand! Eddie—"

"Just leave me alone, will you, Piper?" Patricia said, running into the road.

She didn't see the car coming down the road, though. Whoever was inside it must've been drinking because they were swerving in all directions.

"Patricia!" Piper called out.

This got Patricia's attention. She looked at Piper and then at the car. She froze as the silver car came her way. She looked like a deer in the headlights.

Eddie noticed this too. "Yacker!" he shouted. He used his feet to launch himself into Patricia, knocking her out of the path of the car. He felt the draft from the air hit his legs, signaling that the car had been inches away from hitting him.

Patricia felt her breath leave her as she hit the ground. Her bare arm (she had left her jacket at Drew's house) scraped against the harsh road, leaving a scuff mark on her lower and upper arm.

Patricia gasped for air, and as soon as she received it, she quickly sat up. Eddie was lying next to her, eyes closed.

"No, no, no!" Patricia got on her hands and knees. She shook him until his eyes finally opened. "Eddie! Are you okay?"

Eddie just moaned, "My wrist."

"Piper!" Patricia called over to her sister.

"Calling an ambulance!" her sister assured her. Sure enough, Piper was on the phone.

"We need to get out of the road, Patricia." Eddie sat up using his good arm and the elbow of his bad one. Patricia took his good arm and helped him up.

"Your wrist; is that the only thing that hurts?" Patricia asked.

"Does my heart count?" Eddie took her hand. "She kissed me, Yacker. I tried to push her away and—"

Patricia shut him up by pushing her lips onto his warm ones. She felt her arms go around his neck. Eddie held her close by wrapping his hands around her waist.

"It's okay." Patricia said after they parted. "I believe you."

Eddie sighed with relief. Then, he noticed her arm. "Yacker, your arm!"

Patricia shook her head, indicating that it was alright. "You saved me…"

"Of course I did! Did you really just expect me to watch you get hit by a car?" Eddie wrapped his arms tighter around her midsection, as if he were still protecting her.

"Even though I was pissed off at you, you still saved me." Patricia hugged him.

"I'm not like some of the guys you dated, Patricia. I save my girlfriends, especially if I like them as much as I like you. Ben was the exact opposite of me." Eddie backed away from the hug so that he could look Patricia in the eye.

"I trusted him, too, though." Patricia said quietly.

"But I intend to keep that trust." Eddie said. They kissed again. And they continue until the ambulance came.
