Chapter two: My summer?
Patricia' P.O.V:
I stepped out of the cab, and walked around to get my suitcase out of the boot. My mind was somewhere distant, and I hadn't realised that Joy was shouting to me from along the parking lot.
"Hey Patricia!" She said happily, and pulled me into a hug which I took. I winced as she crushed me with her fragile body.
"Hi, how was your summer?" I asked.
"We went to Miami, as we always do! Then Mum had a business trips to go on...so yeah!" She said, looking blankly at me.
"Oh, of course! You always go to Miami!" I said, slapping my forehead. Then I cried out in pain, realising that I had hit one of my scars.
"Are you ok? Didn't hit yourself too hard did you?" She joked, linking an arm in mine. I shook my head, pulling a heavy bag beside me. "I forgot to tell you! Guess who I saw!?"
"Don't tell me...Robert Patterson!?" I asked, pretending to be excited.
"No, though I wish I had! Guess again! He's tall and blonde, eats boy sandwiches and is in the same house as us!"
"No way! You saw Eddie?" I asked, astonished.
"Yeah, he was on the beach with his friends! He introduced me to them! Now let's see...it was Ryan, Scott, Harry and Todd. But, I must warn you: There was this girl and-"
"What girl?" I growled.
"I don't know, Eddie said something about...Lauren Simmons and girlfriend! He told me not to tell you! I tried calling you, but the phone was always engaged or no one picked up!" She said desperately.
"Whatever, it's not like I care anyway. Since when have I cared?" I said with a sigh.
"I have good news...when she kept coming over, Eddie told her to get lost! I mean, I was sure that he was gonna let her grind all over him, but then he just told her to shut up and get lost! Trixie you should be happy!" She said, smiling as we walked through the doors of Anubis house.
"Yeah, ok..."
"I forgot to ask, how was your summer?"
My summer?
Hm, let's see –
My mum and dad get a divorce, mum taking my only sister away from me to live in London! My dad goes on the drink and leaves with anger and depression, only to take it out on me, physically abusing me.
"It was good..." I said, giving her a weak smile.
"Details! Come on, I know that look!" She pressed.
"There's nothing to tell! Honestly Joy, I don't have looks! It was a normal summer, my mum, dad and Piper and me! We may have taken a brief trip to France but that is it!" I snapped.
"Sorry for asking! I'm going to find everyone, say hello and stuff" She said, and took off to go and find the others.
I went upstairs to unpack, but mostly to reapply make- up, before my 'May or may not be cheating', boyfriend arrived.
Suddenly, the door opened and I jumped; only realising it was Eddie.
"Hey Yacker, how was your summer?" He asked.
