A mixture of feelings bubbled up inside of me. Then I screamed.
"EVERYONE OUT!" Looks of terror appeared on everyone's faces, and I shot my finger towards the door. Everyone left except for Patricia. She closed the door, and sat on my bed. I dropped my head into my hands and began to let the tears fall down. "I thought I told everyone to leave." I whimpered.
"Hey it's my room too... How ya feelin'?" asked Patricia
"Angry, sad, betrayed, heart-broken." I responded my voice cracking at heart broken.
"Awwww Joy! Come here!" I leaned over and cried on Patricia's shoulder. "Well there's your problem! You're not angry, sad, or betrayed! You're just heart-broken and those other feelings radiate off of heart-broken. Joy, I'm your best friend and you know I'll always lead you to light, right?" I nodded. "Good, because I think you're going to have to get over Fabian and accept the fact that he might just like Nina." I let out a loud whine. I grabbed the box of tissues on the nightstand, and wiped my eyes.
"I guess you're right. But it just hurts really bad! Like I love him and I want what's best for hi-" I started.
"Then let him be with Nina! They're not going out directly yet, because they just met, so give it some time, and the pain'll heal. Look, do your best to get over him, I'll even help you do it o.k.?"
"O.k... Thanks Patricia." I wiped my tears away and walked towards the stairs to see Nina and Fabian laughing their hearts out at the t.v.
"Self control, Joy. Self control." Patricia whispered in my ear. I took a deep breath before descending down the stairs. I walked straight pass them and into the kitchen where I saw Trudy bustling around trying to make dinner.
"Hello lovey, would you mind setting the table for me?" asked Trudy in her angel voice.
"Sure Trudy!" I grabbed some plates and forks and set the table for dinner. When I was done I decided to go watch t.v. next to Nina and Fabian. I sat down next to Fabian and Nina leaned forward to look at me. I shyly waved at her and she slowly leaned back up. The 3 of us sat watching the t.v. in complete silence or laughter until it was time for dinner. We got a new seating arrangement ever since Nina came. She sits at head of table, with Fabian on her left, then me, Patricia, Jerome, Alfie, Amber, Mick, and Mara's on Nina's right. Everyone had their own conversations going on with Patricia Jerome and Alfie talking about Jerome and Alfie's latest prank on the lower years. Amber, Mick, and Mara were talking about sports and Amber was complaining about it. While me, Fabian, and Nina talked about drama at school. We all ate in complete happiness, even me. Then it was soon time for bed.
"It is 10 o'clock! You have 5 minutes precisely and then I want to hear a pin... Drop." Victor did his daily speech and everyone scattered around going to bed. That night I slept with a smile on my face knowing the grass on the other side is greener.
