Alright, this was prompted by the guest "Continue", enjoy!

Patricia pulled the blanket tighter around her and turned her music up, trying to drown out the horrible noises coming from outside. When she dared to look out the window all she saw was the darkness that seemed to consume the world. The lights flickered over her head and the bulbs and her stereo shut off. Patricia swallowed. The other house residents were off, God knows where, leaving Patricia alone; all alone in this creepy house in the dark. A knock sounded at her bedroom door and she jumped. Well, almost alone.

"Hey, Yacker, you okay?" Eddie called through the door.

"I'm fine," she answered. It took everything she had to keep the shakiness out of her voice.

"Can I come in?" he asked after trying the doorknob and discovering that it was locked.

"No." Patricia almost growled.

"Fine, but I made some pancakes and I brought you a plate. I'll leave it outside your door." There was a light clank when the plate touched the hardwood floor and Eddie's biker boots faded down the hall.

Patricia unlocked her door and peered into the dark hall. No sign of Eddie. She reached for the plate and lifted it into her room, and then the door was pushed open wider. Patricia mentally cursed herself for being so stupid. Deep down she knew Eddie would do that.

"So what are you doing?" he asked, brushing past her.

"Nothing since the power went out." Patricia grumbled, taking a seat on the edge of her bed.

Eddie pushed the curtains away from the window, staring out into the pouring rain. "I love thunder storms, they're so calming." he looks at his girlfriend with a soft expression.

"No they're no—"

Thunder cracked and Patricia jumped, covering her ears. This was not helping her keep her secret from Eddie.

"See, listen," Eddie grinned oblivious to her fright. He pointed to the window and a second later the thunder sounded again.

"Are you alright?" concern etched over Eddie's features when she jumped again.

"No, I'm not alright, I'm afraid of thunder. Are you happy?" Patricia sneered.

"Well, why didn't you tell me? I would've understood, my mom is afraid of thunder too." he took a seat next to her and opened his arms wide for a hug. "Bring it in,"

Despite Patricia's usual self-protecting strategy, she slid into her boyfriend's warm embrace. The blonde rubbed her back and kissed her forehead when she jumped at the next boom of thunder. Eventually, Eddie lay down in the bed and pulled her down with him. She snuggled into his chest and his arm tightened around her waist.

"How can you tell me you've never kissed a guy before me but you were afraid to tell me you're afraid of thunder?

"It's embarrassing." she murmured.

"And never kissing anyone isn't?" he scoffed.

"It made sense why I never kissed a guy," Patricia yawned. "This is just a stupid phobia."

"Got it," Eddie closed his eyes and crushed Patricia closer to his chest. "Get some sleep; the storm will be over when we wake up."

Patricia nodded and let her eyelids snap shut.

There ya have it! Continue just asked for another Peddie, so I asked my mother to give me somethin' for a Peddie drabble and she suggested a storm. So technically this was prompted by Continue and my mom, flyawaygail! That's her pen name on here but she doesn't write anything, she just reads.

So...REVIEW AND PM ME WITH A PROMPT! I've got a few more drabbles comin' up!

I am two reviews away from reaching 300! Ya know what I don't understand? There is another drabble series for HOA that I read, and I'm sure most of you do too, and that one has over 800 reviews when I have more drabbles and more words...why is that? I'm not sayin' I'm tryin' to beat her or anything but I'm just confused as to why she has over 500 more reviews...

I still have that poll up!

Vote for House of Couples for the HOA Wikia FanFic of the month!

Romans 5:3-5

"More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."

Love y'all!
