Alright! This was prompted by greenkittycat, who is one of my favorite readers! Has a lot of good ideas! Here's I Got You, Babe!
Eddie and Patricia were walking back to the house after school, a comfortable silence surrounding them. Eddie bobs his head to the music in his head while Patricia texted Joy.
Patricia…
Someone whispered. She looked up at Eddie and looked at him questionably.
"What?"
He turned to her. "What what?"
"What do you need?"
"What? I don't need anything. Just my iPod-"
"No, you whispered my name." she cut him off.
"What? No I didn't."
"Then who…" she drifted off.
"Are you okay?" he asks cautiously.
She doesn't answer just goes back to her texting. He huffs and rolls his eyes.
A few minutes later the same thing rings through her head, only louder. She freezes and glares at her boyfriend.
"Knock it off." she says lowly.
"Knock what off?" he throws his arms up frustrated.
"Whispering my name." she said in a 'duh' tone.
"I'm not-" he stopped and put an arm around her shoulders, putting the back of his hand against her forehead. "Are you sick?" he murmured.
"Of course I'm not sick." she pushed his hand away and shrugged his arm off, stepping away from him and walking again.
He watched after her for a second before sighing and trailing after her.
"Okay what is going on?" she asks shakily, the voices starting to get to her after the fourth time.
She looks to the woods and stares into the darkness intently, trying to spot something, though she didn't know what she was looking for. Maybe Jerome and Alfie? No, they went out with Mara and Amber…maybe-
She froze again when the voice said her name again but it was louder this time. It sounded like-
Her eyes grow wide and she screams, sprinting to the house.
"Patricia!" Eddie called after her, worry sweeping over him.
He runs inside to find no one but Patricia, huddled up in the corner of the dining room.
"Hey, Yacker? You okay? You kinda freaked back there." he jerked a thumb towards the door and sits next to her carefully.
"I-I-I heard h-his voice…he sa-said m-m-my name…" she trembled.
He stares at her for a second. She's never acted like this, not even when she had that nightmare that one time. He didn't ask any questions, knowing who 'he' was. He put his arm around her shoulders once again, this time she didn't push him away. She leaned into him willingly as he pulled her into him. She shakes in his arms as he sits there in silence, giving her time to regroup.
He kissed her hair gently as her shaking slowed and her slight whimpering ceased. He runs his fingers through her hair and kisses her forehead, murmuring against her skin,
"I got you, babe…"
Yeah, not one of my bests...I mean I've already done one of the 'Eddie comforting Patricia' thing, but I did my best! I hope you liked it! When I read your prompt I actually thought of I Got You Babe by Sonny & Cher...
I...don't...know...why...though...
Anyway...I have a message for Kar, who is a guest so I can't PM her! Message: I'm so sorry, but I can't do your prompt. I personally do not like them together at all and wouldn't know how to write it. I'm sorry. I could probably do any other couples though! But, I guess I should list my couples, right? Okay, here ya go:
Jerome/Mara
Patricia/Eddie
Amber/Alfie
Fabian/Nina
Mick/Joy
You know, the couples that have gotten together, except for Moy...that should totally happen in the 3rd season! But, I'm sorry for not doing your prompt! Love y'all! Y'all give me confidence to write! Keep sendin' in those prompts and reviewing!
