Ch. 7

Patricia's POV

After Victor took Eddie and left, I was super shocked.

"I can't believe he did that." I said.

"I know right?!" Amber replied.

"He's a really brave dude." Alfie added.

"He must like Nina for doing that." Amber said.

(When Amber says like, she me like Eddie has a crush on Nina, which he doesn't…)

Fabian's face was red. He looked super angry. He must still have feelings for Nina.

Fabian's POV

I feel like punching something. Why didn't I stand up for Nina first? How could I be so stupid?

"I someone a wittle jeawous?" Alfie said in a baby voice.

"Shut up, Alfie." I snapped.

Alfie just pouted while Amber rubbed his back, soothingly.

My girlfriend- I mean ex-girlfriend was in trouble and I didn't even help her. I'm so mad with myself.

"Besides, why did Eddie stand up for her, he has nothing to do with Nina? He just got here a month ago. If I were new, I would have just stayed where I was hiding, because I would be too scared of Victor. I don't understand." I said, not realizing I said it out loud.

"I don't either." Amber said.

"Neither do I." Alfie said, as he wrapped his arm over Amber's shoulders.

"I'm just gonna to go." I said storming out of the attic.

"Breath Fabian, breath." I told myself. I just need to relax. It probably was nothing.

I then remembered what Victor said. So I quietly slipped out the door and tiptoed down stairs, not seeing Eddie or Nina.

I went in my room, closed the door and thought to myself,

Was I really jealous?

Eddie's POV

We started cleaning in the kitchen. We were silent until I had a very important question that seriously needed to be asked.

"Why didn't you tell them what happened last night, and why I'm in Sibuna?" I asked Nina.

"Well… um… I don't know. I guess I'm just nervous about what they would think. I know they would probably most likely say 'We don't care what you look like, we'll still love you just as much'," She said.

I nodded.

"but I don't want the sympathy, and I know that they will think I'm a complete freak." She continued.

"I won't." I said

She smiled and pulled me into a hug.

As we pulled apart, she said "Thanks Eddie."

We hugged again.

Thanks for being patient for this chapter and I will try to start updating once a week. Please review, I will really appreciate it!

Happy 4th of July!
