Disclaimer: I still don't own anything

Chapter 2

The next day Patrick walked into work. He made his way to the front desk. He was feeling rather out of it that day. He looked over to the waiting area only to see Emily sitting there with Sonny close at her side. He knew there was defiantly something still going on. He waited for Sonny to depart then he walked over to Emily.

"Oh hey Patrick, I didn't see you come in"

"I just got here" he replied

"I had fun last night." She said

"Did you?"

"Yea of course, wasn't as dramatic as our first date." She laughed "But it was still fun."

"Emily why are you doing this?"

"Doing what?" She asked

"Why are you even pretending to be interested in me? It's so obvious the only man your interested in is standing at that desk over there talking to your friend Elizabeth." Patrick said. Emily slowly looked over to the tall dark and handsome figure talking to her best friend. "Now don't get me wrong, I think we could be great friends for each other, but everything is telling me nothing more. I can't afford to have Mobster's and Princes running around threatening me. It's not your fault I know, but I think it's better if we just stay friends." He finished

Emily looked at him "I think we can do that."

"So what are you still doing here?"

"What do you mean?" Emily asked

"You like him, he obviously likes you, now go get him!" Patrick said. Emily smiled as she got up and marched her way over to the desk Patrick watched the two walks out hand in hand. Thanking his lucky stars he's ended his little fling with her before she got too attached.

He finally forced himself up and back to the now empty desk, well almost empty.

"What was that serious talk with Emily about?" Robin asked

"None of your business, why are you always asking questions about my life, Can't you just stay out of it? Oh wait you can't because your Saint Robin." Patrick said pulling out a nickname he's heard Carly say before

Robin look almost hurt "Robin, I mean…" But Patrick attempt at redemption was cut off by Robin's response "Fine Dr. arrogant I see how it is, Sorry if I was just trying to help you out, but you know what I'm sorry I even tried to help. Here are the notes on the Heather Forley case you asked for." Robin dropped the notes on the desk and hurried off in the opposite direction

Patrick shook his head wondering what was so wrong with him today. Well he knew why he was having in off day. He just never seemed to get off his composure even on days like this. He picked up the notes and looked up to see Dr. Noah Drake standing before him. "What do you want?"

"Patrick, I know you're mad at me still, but I want you to come over to my place after work today." Noah asked

"Well you can forget it."

"Pat I thought we could talk, about all the good memories." Noah said

"All the memories I have of you are bad ones I'd rather not," Patrick said

"Don't be silly Patrick, I know you know what today is, and I mean talk about memories of your mother not us."

"I'm not going to talk to you about my mother." Patrick said getting very angry with his father.

"Patrick! It's been exactly 10 years today since she died. Don't you think you should spend time with your father on this day?" Noah asked

"Not when my father is the one that ended up killing her!"
