The last thing that she remembered was that she fell asleep, she opened her eyes and craned her neck. It was stiff from falling asleep in the uncomfortable hospital chairs. The room was fairly lit, but outside of the windows, the sky was dark. Patricia didn't know the time, but she guessed that it was late in the evening, or way early in the morning. She moved her neck again, Jason was asleep beside her in one of the same chairs, but Derek, he was out of sight, and nowhere to be seen. At that point, she didn't care.

Eddie's mother was nowhere to be seen either, her chair was empty, but in it was a leather jacket. She inhaled quickly and picked it up in her hands, she knew it. She knew it well.

It was Eddie's favorite one.

She felt it, the zipper, she ran her black painted nails over the leather, a wet smile plastered over her lips. She noticed that there was a strip of paper that stuck out from one of the pockets, and she pulled on it.

Wear it Patricia, I'm not sure when he will get to.

She recognized the handwriting from a card that Eddie had gotten when he was at Anubis for his seventeenth birthday. It was his mother's handwriting. But what did she mean? Why wouldn't Eddie get to wear it for a while? She did as the note had said though, she pulled it on. Tears started to rain down her cheeks right away, and she inhaled the smell of the jacket. It smelt just like Eddie. Did his mum know something that she didn't know?

She dismissed the thought out of her mind, and pulled her phone out of the pocket of her jeans.

six missed calls.

She didn't want to think about any of that, at that moment, but her head moved up when she saw Derek round the corner of the hallway, and start to walk in her direction. She didn't want to ask, but the question of not knowing was killing her.

"Did you find out anything?" It all came out in a rush, and then she saw him nod.

"He's stable, but he still hasn't woken up," She sunk back in her chair, she couldn't bring herself to speak a word after that. He still wasn't awake. Why didn't the doctors know anything more? If it meant that he was stable, did something happen in the last eight hours that she had yet to find out about, but more importantly, what did Eddie's mum mean about that note that she had stuffed in his jacket pocket? She avoided Derek's eyes for that time being as he took a seat beside Jason in one of the chairs.

"That's it?" She couldn't help, but ask. She had to know. He nodded. "So when did his mum leave?" She somehow needed to make small talk with him, he was one of her boyfriend's friends, and so far, he hadn't shown any sign of liking the redhead. Well, except for that question about how she and Eddie met.

"Earlier this morning," Ah, so it was morning, her eyes shot to the clock on the far wall. Four in the morning. Patricia huddled herself back in Eddie's jacket, it was big on her, and the sleeves hung down past her hands. It was warm, and she felt safe. She bit the inside of her lip as the air hung silent, and it was so thick that you could have cut the tension with a knife. Out of the corner of her eyes, she glanced to Derek, and then to Jason(who was still asleep) they were both silent. She laid her head back against the wall again, maybe she did need to get some rest, after all, who knew how long that she was going to be there?

"Patricia, sweetie, I really think that you should go home and get some proper rest," Eddie's mom shook her shoulder, and she gently opened her eyes.

"But what if-" She stopped herself long enough to glance up at his mother. She looked as if she hadn't slept herself in days, and the rings under her eyes her dark. She smiled gently.

"You'll be the first person that I call if anything happens, trust me, he wouldn't want you to feel like you do," She sniffed back a yawn, and gently stood up.

"You promise that you will call?" She needed to make sure. His mother nodded.

"Yes, now you need to get some proper sleep," The redhead nodded, she was to tired to ague. She reached for her phone, she had placed it in the pocket of Eddie's jacket, and went to call her mum to pick her up.

"Do you know anything else?" Piper questioned a few hours later as Patricia laid on her bed, still wrapped up in Eddie's jacket. Patricia shook her head.

"No, but his mum said he was going to call me as soon as she found out anything else," Piper nodded gently, and got up to leave her sister's bedroom.

"Get some sleep Patricia, you need it, almost as much as Eddie does," She rolled over on her side, and faced the window, her curtains were pulled shut, and she yawned. She didn't want to sleep, she wanted answers. She picked at her nail polish, and let out a huff, she knew his mum was going to call when she knew, but when was that going to be? They had school the next day, and her parents were probably going to make her go.. it wasn't fair for him, it wasn't fair for any of them.

She didn't fall asleep. Okay she couldn't fall asleep, no matter how much that she wanted to, she just couldn't. Her brain felt like it had been dipped in a deep fryer, and pulled out by a pair of tongs. It was all to much, Eddie getting in a car wreck. His friends still didn't like her, but at least Jason was trying to make an effort. Derek seemed to hate her though, but maybe he was just jealous, though, what was there to be jealous of?

She kicked off her shoes over the side of the bed, and heard them hit the floor. Patricia pulled on the zipper on Eddie's leather jacket, and zipped it up, and then down again. She needed something..she needed someone to take her mind off of what was going on with her boyfriend. She lowered herself deeper into the jacket, and zipped it up around her. She shut her green eyes, and tried not think, she tried to clear her head.. Somehow though, the feelings wouldn't go away, she had strange feelings that something was terribly wrong, something was going on, something that she didn't know about. But maybe, it was just her feelings that were getting the best of her, maybe it was just her fear that was taking over.

She felt sick, all through that next day at school, her stomach hurt. Eddie's mum had yet to call her.. She desperately wanted to know if something else had happened to him. Was he okay? Even though the day before, she was supposed to be at home sleeping, she just couldn't bring herself to close her eyes. It was mid way though last period when someone tapped her on the shoulder. Her head turned, and she noticed that it was Derek, what did he possibly want?

"Are you going to the hospital after school?" She nodded, yes she had planned on it. She had told her mum and sister that when they dropped her off at school that morning. "Do you want to carpool?" A knot twisted in her stomach, her ride with him? "Come on, just say yes, were both going to the same place, and it would save gas," He urged, with a look on his face. Patricia sighed, and slowly nodded again, besides, wasn't he Eddie's friend? What harm would it really do, if Eddie trusted him, why couldn't she.

"I guess," She muttered and turned back to face the front of the classroom. At least he was trying to make an effort.

Long time huh guys? Yeah, sorry about that, I have been so busy lately. For the last two weeks I went on a family vacation, but I will try to update a few more times before I start school in a few more weeks. Soo..anywho, please review, it would mean a lot! :)
