Patricia pulled on her leather jacket over her gray half top and tank. The American air was a bit brezzy, but it was sure warmer than England. She sighed and pushed her hair out of her eyes, the streets were quiet, apart from a car rolling down them every once in a while. She continued to walk down the sidewalk, it was a Saturday so she was thankful that she had no school. Her thoughts moved to Eddie and what he might have been doing at that moment. She had no idea, but she found herself wanting to talk to him. They hadn't talked since Thursday and the day before she had tired to ignore him at school, but yet again he had made no move to start a conversation with her. Besides, didn't he go on that date the night before? She knew that he didn't want her, then he wouldn't have gone out with that other girl.

She shook her head and played with her fingers. Patricia had told her mother that she was going to go for a walk to get more familar with the town. It was a small town, not many people lived there, but Eddie did. His name brought a smile to her lips, but she soon just shook off the feeling, he didn't care about her. Come to think about it, the last time they had really had a real conversation was over the summer, two days before they broke up.

...

Her green eyes flikered up to meet his brown one's and he sent her a smile. The redhead nodded and took a spot on the grass, the park was not so busy, and the air was warm on their skin. Patricia played with her fingers and starred at the grass, somehow she had talked herself into wearing black capris, an old pair of navy Vans, and a navy blue, and black half top. He leaned forward to kiss her, but she backed away, and he gave her an odd look. Patricia smiled slyly and crossed her legs.

"What are you doing Yacker?" She moved closer to him, and grinned.

"What ever do you mean Eddie?" He laughed and moved in too. Eddie wrapped his fingers over her cheeks, she moved her hands to play with his finger's and smiled into the kiss. It was short and sweet, but different from their kisses during last term. She smiled and leaned in closer to Eddie. Their foreheads met and she could feel his hot breath on her face. They sat and talked for hours, getting to know each other just a little bit better then they already did.

...

She smiled at the memory and continued to walk, but she pretty much knew that they couldn't work that way again, to much had happened since then, and it all had just plain changed. She sighed and shoved her hands in the pockets of her jeans, it was harder then she thought that it would be. Her head was spinning and she let out a huff, why did it all have to happen like it did? Why did she have to be so stupid as in to break up with him in the first place? She promised herself that she wouldn't feel like that ever about a guy, but Eddie, Eddie was differnt then most other guys, at least in her book he was. She thought that he was until what happened on Thursday. The redhead starred down at her shoes and pulled her jacket tighter over her shoulder's. She knew where Eddie lived and her mind was half tempted to go there. Her cell phone beeped and she pulled it out of her jeans pocket.

Where are you?-Piper.

She rolled her eyes and turned into the next block, on the way to Eddie's house. She hadn't told her parents or sister that he lived there, but come to think of it, she didn't plan on it either. Piper would just hassel her about the whole break up, and the fact that she still had feelings for him, and Patricia wasn't sure if she could handel that. It was all to much. She shoved her phone in her back pocket, and didn't bother to answer her sister's text. She could see Eddie's house forming in her mind, and she could see it a couple of houses down. No cars were there except for an old beater pickup truck, Eddie's truck. Part of her wished that he wouldn't be home, but the other, well she didn't really know what she wanted. Her body went numb and her head was spinning, she moved down the sidewalk and crossed over to where Eddie's house was. She had absolutely no idea of what she was going to say to him, but why should she be nervous? She didn't know why, but she was a little bit.

Patricia moved the hair out of her eyes and sighed, she knocked in the red painted front door with her fist and shoved her hands in her pockets. She tapped her foot on the front porch and sighed again. She waited for what felt like hours, but the door opened, and it wasn't Eddie who answered the door, it was one of the boy's that she recozined from her Science class. She moved her red hair out of her eyes and turned to him.

"Hey is Eddie here?" Derek only nodded and let her come in. Patricia sighed, he house looked the exactly the same as it did the last time she was there. Her fingers were jammed into her pockets again and moments later there stood Eddie, he was in front of her.

"What are you doing here?" His voice was curious, and his eyebrows were raised. Patricia said nothing, but she had no idea of what to say. He thought of what his friends had been trying to convice of him all morning. That she wasn't worth anything, that he barely knew her, and that he needed to move on. That this was all just a fase and that he would get over her soon enough. They knew nothing about the redhead standing in front of him though, she was rude, fistey, and could be a pain. He was the only bot that she ever knew that got her to break down her walls, and to show her soft side. He had seen her feelings and the side of her that only Joy knew about. He liked her softer side and he loved that she trusted him enough to show it to him. It went silent until, Jason asked for food.

The four of them made their way into the kitchen. Eddie got out the ice cream and some bowls, along with spoons. Patricia bumped into him causing him to wipe some of the ice cream on her pants. She smirked evily and watched Eddie's movement. His eyes flashed with light and he saw her hand go for the rather large tub of ice cream on the kitchen counter. Jason and Derek could only watch, as they didn't have the slightist clue in what was about to go down between the two of them. She chucked the chocolate ice cream at his white tee shirt, and a grin placed his lips. She laughed as a bit of ice cream hit her sqaure in the face. Patricia wiped it out of her eyes and reached her bare hand into the tub of chocolate dessert again. Throw after throw and mess after mess, they both stood dripping and reaking with chocolate on themselves. It was like things were normal for a couple of minutes. What Eddie's friends didn't know was this was their way of talking on some sort of level.

Besides of really talking, she jumped on Eddie's back knocking him over and onto the floor. He let out a laugh from his lips and smiled. They were sticky and covered in the melting ice cream by then. He tried to help her, but it only made her slip again, causing them both to tumble over and she landed on top of them. Her green eyes locked with his and his brown ones did the same. Their lips were about to touch, but the redhead pulled back, that smile was still hanging on her lips.

"i'd better get going, so see you Eddie." He nodded as they both got up off of the floor and she walked over to the front door, all three of the boys following her. Eddie grinned.

"See you later Yacker." She smiled too and nodded, as she made her way out the door and back home. Eddie laughed softly and turned to his freinds only to have Jason question him.

"Okay what in the world just happened?" Eddie rolled his brown eyes and turned to his friends, still that small smirk was still on his lips.

"Nothing, I'm gonna go take a shower."

"That didn't look like nothing to me Eddie." He ignored Derek's last comment and went up the stairs to take a shower and to wash his sticky, chocolate coated clothes. They had no idea.

...

The redhead bit her lip and slamed the door to her house, she held back the smile that was trying to form on her lips. She was walking past her mum's office when she turned around to see her walk by covered in ice cream. Patricia stopped and tried to study her mother's facical expressions before the silence in the house killed her. Her mother was the first to speak up though.

"What happened to you?" She shook off the feeling and rolled her green eyes, she had, had a great day with the whole ice cream fight, and then here comes her mother. She hadn't wanted to tell anyone about Eddie being there, and she still didn't plan to.

"Nothing mum." Her mother shook her head and placed her hands onto her hips.

"Is there a reason why you're covered in chocolate ice cream?" Yup.

"Nope." The redhead answered and started to walk to her bathroom to take a quick shower, only to hear her mother's voice behind her saying that they would talk about that later. She sighed and looked down at the sticky clothes that she was wearing, she bit off the smile, but the feeling was in the the pit of her stomach. The same feeling from last term when she thought about Eddie. It hadn't left her all year, though, it was still there and she knew it too. She still liked him, not that she was going to admit it to anyone besides herself. She wasn't sure how long that she stood there, but she didn't care. What happened had given her just a tiny bit of hope that they could still work; what she didn't know though, was she was lying to herself when she said that they couldn't.

After taking a shower and pulling on some other clothes, she set down for dinner with the rest of her family. Patricia prayed that her mum wouldn't bring up the ice cream event from eariler that day, but then again she way wrong, because she did. She had said that she didn't want to talk about it, which was ture, but her mother kept pushing the subject.

"Patricia is this about Eddie?" The redhead's eyes filled with fury and she turned to face her mother, or better yet, the women who had asked the question.

"I told you not to bring him up." She fired back as she pushed away her plate and got up from the dinner table, only to storm down the long hallway to her room. She had told her not to bring him up, it trigged her emotions way to much, and it just well plain hurt her. It didn't help the fact that she still had feelings for him, even if she did see him everyday, she didn't want to be reminded of the past summer.

...

"Hey you alright?" Patricia's head shot up to look at Piper as she took a seat on her bed. The redhead shook her head. No. She was not alright. How could her own mother have the nerve to bring Eddie up, when she rightfully knew that it was hard on her to talk about what happend between them, and that she had asked her not to bring him up?

"I'm sorry about what mum said okay? She had no right to bring him up like that." Patricia just nodded and leaned back against her pillows. She let a sigh escapse her lips and she turned to her twin sister once more.

"Thanks Piper." Her sister smiled and ingulped her into a small side hug, she knew that she needed one after what happened. She also knew just because Patricia didn't want to talk about what happened that past summer, didn't mean that something didn't happned. Piper wasn't stupid, she knew that her sister still had feelings for that boy, hard feelings, and she had never seen Patricia act like she did with Eddie. It made her smile. She had only seen the soft side of her sister a couple of times. That was one of those times. Piper looked at Patrcica and let out a sigh, rasising her eyebrows.

"If you mind me asking, what did mum mean about you being covered in ice cream?" Patricia turned to her sister, and smiled just a tad bit. This was one person she could trust about tellinf her about what had happned. As long as she didn't go into anything else about she and Eddie being together, or the fact that she still had feelings for Eddie.

"Eddie. He lives here." Piper only nodded with a smile traced on her lips.

"You know I've never really seen you like this over a guy before Trixe." Patricia turned to her sister.

"You know maybe I just haven't found the right one yet, and trust me Piper Eddie is way over me." The redheaded twin rolled her eyes.

"I dunno, maybe you shouldn't second guess yourself so much."

...

So this is chapter three! What did you all think? Please R&R.
