Patricia's P.O.V

I fluttered my eyelids open to see white walls surrounding me. I turned to look at myself. White casts were wrapped around my wrists... Then realization hit - I was in hospital. I must have cut too deep... Oh gosh... I spun my head to my right, only to see a sleeping Eddie with a rather stressed-out facial expression. I began to realize what had happened... oh my gosh… Eddie must have been really worried.

"Patricia?" I turned to see Eddie awake, staring at me.

"Yeah?" I didn't know what else to say. Then I felt Eddie's strong arms around me. He was giving me a hug. I felt myself smiling at his embrace and wrapped my arms around him as well.

"You scared me to death," he whispered releasing me from the hug.

"I'm really sorry… I guess… I just… um… lost it…" I mumbled. He nodded and then took my hands.

"Why do you do it?" He asked. I took a deep breath and sighed. He needs to know but... I'm not sure if I can get the words out.

"Look Eddie... last summer...I um..." I started crying. I felt him squeeze my hands tighter.

"Hey, shh ,it's ok... take your time," he whispered.

"I... I w-was r-r-raped…" I sniffed. Eddie's expression seemed shocked at first but then it grew softer as he hugged me once more. I cried into his chest as he stroked my hair.

"It's ok..." he said as he kissed my head.

"T-t-there's m-m-more…" I stuttered. Eddie pulled back to look at me.

"What?" he asked. I couldn't look at him so I stared at the white sheets below me.

"Mr Sweet got a letter from... uh, him and it said he's coming after me," I said. He bit his lip.

"My dad knows?" He asked.

"He was the one who saved me…" I replied. I couldn't tell if Eddie was angry or happy.

"Why didn't he tell me?" Eddie murmured, mostly to himself.

"Because I asked him not to – Eddie, don't be mad at him. He was just doing what I asked him to," I said, now raising my head to look at Eddie who nodded.

"Yeah... Yeah I know. Have you been to the police?" He asked. I shook my head.

"When it happened, we did, and they said they'd do their best to find them but we haven't been to them about the letter," I stated. Eddie leaned in and kissed me. It was our first proper meaningful kiss in a while and it felt good. Then, he cupped my face.

"There's no way in hell I'm letting anyone hurt you again. I'm not letting you out of my sight," he whispered. I nodded.

If only if that would work…
