Chapter 8

Next morning Walter woke up in his room with a terrible headache. There was so much light in the room. He was about to protest, when he saw his two daughters standing in front of him looking VERY upset.

"Explanation time" Kat announced.

"I need an aspirin first" Walter said.

"OH, no! You are going to have to feel the pain and explain yourself first. You almost gave me a coronary." Bianca said. "The sooner you tell us what happened the sooner I get you that aspirin and let you have a dark room."

"Ok. Do you remember my friend from the fire?" Both girls nodded. "She turns out to be Cameron's mother."

"Now the hangover makes sense" Kat interrupted.

"She offered me to stay with her and take care of you. And I really didn't want to go to the dinner, they are so boring. While Joan is just so much funnier So I stayed, we had dinner, we laughed a lot, and drunk a bit too much."

"So she is your new girlfriend?" Bianca asked.

"No, I just broke with Darlene, and I don't think Joan likes me that way."

Kat could have swear that he hear disappointment in her father's voice. Kat turned and looked at Bianca. She was thinking the same. She gave Walter the aspirin, while Kat closed the window and The sisters left their father to sleep again.

Later that same day

It was time for the girls date and Bianca and Kat were waiting for Blank and Patrick. Kat might die before admitting it out loud, but she was as excited as her younger sister. It felt like the first real date with Patrick. Besides Walter was so ashamed of himself getting drunk, that he let her daughters go as a way to make it up to them.

Both sisters were sitting in the couch watching TV and fighting about what to watch.

Bianca was wearing a pink blouse and black shorts while Kat was wearing black pants and blouse. Blank arrived just in time wearing a navy suit. When Bianca saw him, she knew she was in trouble. Now he really did look dashing.

Twenty minutes later there was no sign of Patrick. Kat was furious to the verge of murder Blank and Bianca were talking, but she couldn't join in the conversation She was thinking all the things Patrick could be doing. She thought about him sleeping, maybe absorbed in a science project, or having a go with one of his bimbos She had already texted him and He didn't answered. Who was she kidding? He wasn't coming, so she put on a brave face.

"You two should get going".

"Are you sure Kat? Bianca asked looking concerned.

"Yeah, I'll be all right. Not that I can say the same about Patrick." Kat was using her confident tone.

"Ok." Blank said relieved for being out of Kat's grasp.

Blank and Bianca were heading to the door. When Bianca returned and whispered to her sister:

"I'm sure there is an explanation. Patrick wouldn't do that" Bianca said in a whisper.

Bianca left before Kat said "I hope so."

She went to her room and lied own in the bed. She had kept Patrick's note on her bed table. She just liked to see his handwriting. What did that boy do to her? She even liked his signature For God's sake! It didn't even make sense Kat let the tears run freely maybe she had misunderstood everything. Maybe all he wanted was sex; but then she couldn't stop herself for remembering all of those kisses, secrets smiles. He even gave her his file. Maybe it was a lie. He might not be half Chilean, after all, Little by little sleep won the battle, and Kat closed her teary eyes.

Meanwhile Bianca was having the time of her life.

Blank turned out to be a terrific dancer. She had promise herself to send a cake to his mother for such a creation. She even forgot she wanted to ask him if this was a real date at the beginning it supposed to be work, but since Blank wasn't the president anymore, it had to be something else. However right now she couldn't care any less.

When they were too tired to even care about dancing and everything, they went to sit at the bar.

"So do you like the club?" Blank asked.

"I love it. It is so cool" Bianca said with enthusiasm.

"Do you think it will inspire you for the prom?" He asked with a grin in his face.

"I think it will." She said smiling, but wondered if he really was just trying to help her out as a friend. She kicked herself mentally for thinking about anyone after what Joey did. She might be too chicken to asked the question she intended, but there was something she still needed to know.

"Why did you ask me to be in charge of the prom when you have already asked Tabitha?"

"Well... I just couldn't stand her after what she had done to your sister. So I decided to look for a replacement. I heard you were the one in charge of a carnation sale and a party" He answered.

Bianca smiled. She wasn't sure if she buy it or if she should believe him. At the end, she decided she wanted some fun. She needed it. So she would go out with Blank until it stopped to be fun. No questions to ask. It was easy, they haven't kiss, they just flirt a little and in a way it felt more like an innocent game than anything.

Blank and Bianca ordered two cokes and they chatted a while longer. However when they headed to the dance floor.

Much later...

Walter was sure he had heard the phone ring. Nevertheless when he woke up, everything was silenced. He closed his eyes again and a ring filled his dream. Now he was sure it was real.

He woke up.

A/N: I know I driving you crazy living Patrick outside the plot. But since this is what should have been the end of the Tv show. I think every character deserves an ending. Next time, Patrick would come back.
