Patricia stuffed her wallet and cell phone into her purse. She was heading to the doctors…for the second time this week.

To be honest, it was starting to bug her. While her friends were doing the whole Sibuna thing, she was either at the doctors, or politely asked to stay at the house.

Apparently they were so worried about her they thought it was best if she wasn't doing risky things, like wandering around a house where an undead man lived.

What a load of bull.

To make things even worse, she was behind on her schoolwork. The doctors' appointments were usually during her school day, so she had to miss school.

Patricia walked down the stairs quickly, trying to keep everyone else from waking up.

Today, her appointment was at 6:15, and for a heavy sleeper like her, it was not easy to get out of bed.

Trudy, who got up every morning at four, had called her a taxi.

Patricia walked out of the house, and a tornado of thoughts flew into her mind.

She thought of how much she hated cancer, and how she hated what it had made her become, and how she hated her new limitations.

She hated lots of things.

One thought, though, was definitely not negative.

Eddie came into her mind; the sarcastic comments, the mischievous grin.

As she arrived at the taxi, she opened the door and saw a surprising sight.

Eddie, looking more awake than she was, sat in the far corner, staring out the window.

Patricia spluttered. "Wha-Eddie!"

Eddie turned to face her, a smile on her face. "'Bout time you're up. You're appointment's in twenty minutes. Come one, let's go."

Patricia was too shocked to process his words.

Was he…Was he coming with her? Not that she minded, of course, but it was just such a nice thing to do, she had a hard time picturing him doing it.

Inside, Patricia was grinning like crazy. Her boyfriend-ah, ex-boyfriend-ah…friend?

Stupid labels.

Eddie was offering to take her to the doctors, and she knew this had to be hard for him.

He had a difficult time getting up for school, let alone 2 hours before.

Whoa. He got up 2 hours before school. For her.

Patricia didn't think she'd ever felt that special in her life.

She smiled softly. "Okay, okay, calm down. Mom."

And she got in the car.

Okay, hope you liked it! And just a little summary for the next chapter...

Eddie, KT, and Alfie go to the gatehouse, to try to talk to Harriet. (The legit one.)

Before he leaves, Eddie makes Fabian promise that if anything happens to him that he'll take care of Patricia.

Fabian tells Patricia how he feels about her. (Don't worry; not romantic feelings!)

And I really like Fabicia friendship, not romantically (Peddie is obviously meant to be) but I feel like they care about each other a lot.

Idk why. How do you guys feel about Fabicia?
