Patricia watched her name form on Eddie's lips, but before it was said she jumped up from her chair and she ran away. The whole group in the mess hall starred at the British girl as her comabt boots hit the tile floor. She held back the tears as she ran along.
"Yacker wait!" Eddie's voice hit her eardrums and she sighed. Maybe he still cared. Maybe. He grabbed her arm before they got out of the mess hall and all eyes were on the two of them, including Eddie's friends, who knew nothing about her. At all. He pulled her to face him, and she looked over him. He still looked the same and his lips held a cocky smirk.
"What are you doing here?" His question made her look up at him as her green eyes came off of the floor.
"I could ask you the same question Eddie." She shot back their eyes hitting eachother's for a split second. He didn't answer, but instead his friends butted in with questions for him. Patricia's green eyes flickered to his friends, the two guys in her Science class. Go figure.
"Eddie who is she? Since when do you date Britsh girls? Why didn't you tell us?" She crossed her arms over her chest. The redhead glared at Eddie and narrowed her eyes.
"Yacker.." His eyes crossed over to meet her's and he grabbed her arm again. "We need to talk." He was right. They did need to talk, her dragged her into the supply closet and shut the door on them. Eddie flicked on the light on the wall, and she glanced at him in the face. That smug smie hung on his lips and she fought back a smile. She really had missed him, and maybe this was fate's way of offering them another chance. No. She couldn't think that way. They sat and talked for a while, and she told him why she was here. He did too, his mom had forced him to come back after she found out about him being the Osiren. They walked out of the closet to be greeted by Eddie's friends. She looked at Eddie, maybe they could work again.
"Hey you have that date with Jenny tonight right?" She watched Eddie nod and aviod her gaze, how could he? She couldn't believe that she was lying to herself the whole rest of the summer. No they could never work again, their love was determind to fall and burn out like a fire. Patricia didn't look at Eddie as she walked away and down the hall. Maybe they had been a mistake all along, but that didn't mean that she didn't miss him like she always did. She did.
"Patricia." She turned her body around to face him.
"Come back to me when you find the guy who told me that he loved me!" She yelled forcefully at him, and continued on her way out of the school building, besides her mum would be there to pick her up any second now. Her mum's car was parked outside and she got into the backseat beside Piper, swinging her backapck into the floor. She knew they had been a mistake, and she didn't plan on going back to that anytime soon. She didn't speak the whole ride home as her mum and Piper talked about Piper's new music school. She didn't feel the need to talk at all, she was in a bad mood and nothing could bring her out of it. Nope. Not even time could heal her wounds.
...
Eddie drummed his finger's on the table, he was barely listening to anything that Jenny was talking about. He found himself spacing out to eariler's events ar school, and the fact that Jason and Derek had left ninety new text messages on his phone about Patricia. He gnawed on his breadstick with disapointment. Sure, Jenny was pretty, but he found himself comparing her to Patricia with every second that the date dragged on. They were absolutley nothing alike though, and he mentally kicked himself for saying yes to her offer. How could he have gotten so stupid over one summer break. He let Yacker slip through his finger's one to many times, and he wanted to fix it all and go back to the night that she broke up with him. He wanted to be able to stop her from leaving the house and tell her that there was nothjing to be scared of. That he was always going to be there for her and that being scared was worthless.
Man he was such a doofus. Kick. He was scared too though, he knew that he did love Patricia and he wanted her to know that. The thing was though, she was so stubborn and now to layer on top of that she was mad at him. That was all that Eddie needed. They had spent almost a whole summer together and then poof she was gone, she had broken up with him. She took the last flight out of the country and he was in a funk for weeks. His whole mood was messed up. He wouldn't eat or sleep, or not have nightmares. He lied to himself saying that everything was going to be alright between them, but he couldn't have been more wrong. If he knew then what he does then he would have stopped her. Someway. Somehow. He would have stopped her for leaving him. From breaking his heart and watching his life fall apart before both of their eyes, he would have done that.
He didn't plan to answering Derek or Jason's text's he prayed that she would call him and talk, but he knew her better than anyone and he knew that she would not call. He was in no mood to talk to anyone. He glanced up at his date, she had long blonde hair, and blue eyes, she wore bight colored clothes and he found himself comparing her to Patricia. She was nothing like her, at all. He mentally groaned, why couldn't the date just end already. Why had he messed up so much lately. He did plan to fix it all.
