When she pushes you or hits you...

"Patricia's in a really bad mood." Eddie whispered to Amber as the made their way down the hallway.

Amber looked up at him from her mirror. "When isn't she?"

"I mean, like she won't even talk to me, she's that mad."

"Aw, so you came to the relationship guru. I am both completely appalled that you can't handle this on your own, and appreciative that you turned to me."

"Actually you were just the person I happened to run into on my way to Fren-"

"Eddie, we have no time for details." Amber sighed, as she applied a second coat of blush to her cheeks. "When you go into the classroom, sit next to her, and don't do anything else. No talking, no looking Nothing."

"Why wouldn't I talk to her?"

"Eddie! Don't question it. Just listen to me. I'm experimenting this, I need you to follow through with it."

"You mean you don't have proof that this works?"

"I'm sure it will work."

"Amber! I can't chance that with Patricia. Have this little project with Fabian and Nina, they're easy going. Patricia isn't - have you even met her?"

"We call them Fabina thank you very much." Amber rolled her eyes, before strolling past Eddie and into the classroom. Taking a seat next to Alfie, Amber offered Eddie a thumbs up, and then turned her attention back to her mirror.

"H-" Eddie cut himself off and glanced towards Amber. "Hey." Eddie whispered to Patricia cautiously, making sure Amber couldn't hear him.

"Be quite." She snapped.

"Grouchy." Eddie groaned, crossing his arms and slumping back into his chair.

"Au Revoir Elévès." Miss Valentine chided over her shoulder, dismissing the twenty students that sat in the classroom. A chorus of "Au revoir's" and "Å plus tard's" echoed through the classroom.

Eddie grabbed for Patricia's wrist after he had grabbed his bag, and blazer, which he had abandoned in the middle of the class. "Come on." Ignoring Patricia's protests ("Let me go you annoying creep!") Eddie continued to drag her out of the classroom, through the hall, and outside.

"What is up with you?" Eddie didn't drop his hold on her wrist, in fact her grabbed the other one as well.

"What are you talking about?" She sneered.

"You're being totally rude! All I wanted to say was'hi' to you! You're being grouchy and cranky!"

"I think I have the right to be rude."

"Not to me."

"Oh yeah, who told you that? Your Daddy?"

"Patricia. Stop. All I want is for you to feel relaxed around me. I want you to say hi to me, and tell my you're having a bad day, instead of ignoring me."

"You're not my mum." Patricia spat, as she slid herself out of his tight hold around her wrists.

She hoisted her bag higher up on her shoulder, and stormed off towards the house; leaving Eddie completely startled and stunned.

After trying to contemplate what he should do, Eddie decided to forget what he told himself, and ran after the direction she had walked in. Her outline became clearer, the closer he got to Anubis House, until Patricia walked up the porch and slammed the front door behind her.

Eddie hesitated, but still placed his palm on the door handle, and pushed it open. "Patricia?" he called

There wasn't an answer. The house was completely silent. He figured the rest of his housemates would still be getting their books together at the school, and Trudy was at a meeting with Victor, the teachers, and of course, Eddie's father. Looking into the living room, Eddie was greeted with silence, and nothing else. He sighed, ran his fingers through his hair, and started walking upstairs.

His tapped his knuckles lightly on Patricia's door. "Go away Eddie." Eddie rolled his eyes and fought to keep a smile off his face, as he opened the door and was met face to face with her slumped figure, lying lazily on the bed, pouting. "You look pretty cute when you're acting five years old you know." He smirked.

"Shut it."

Eddie shrugged his shoulders and walked closer towards her. There was a second of silence, before he sat next to Patricia, and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Please let me go." Patricia shoved hard on his chest, as she struggled to be set free.

"No thanks." Eddie squeezed his arms tighter. "I'm never letting you go." He whispered in her ear.

As little as she wanted to admit it, his words tickled her ear, and sent chills down her spine. They reassured her about thier relationship – they made Patricia feel wanted. She took a deep breath, before leaning her head back on his shoulder, and letting him run his fingers through her hair.

They didn't have to kiss. This was plenty enough. His arms around her, her back against his chest, together, securely. They didn't bother to care when Joy walked in with Mara, and both girls screeched and giggled at the scene in front of them before exiting quickly. They ignore Trudy's call for dinner, and Victor's threat to call Mr. Sweet. It was just Eddie and Patricia. Patricia and Eddie.

And that was all that mattered.

…Grab her and don't let go.
