Recap:

"You know me as much as I know you, but you can't remember, think I know you're capable of remembering, come on Trixie"

...

"I think you're pretty cool, no one's called me a poopy head before, I'm Eddie what's your name?"

...

"Did you remember?" He asked, his eyes widened as his golden hazel iris filled with hope. I wanted to tell him that I remembered and that I was so shocked that I didn't know what to say.

"No, not at all"

His face immediately fell, but then he furrowed his eyebrows to cover up his disappointment. But he didn't hide it well. I could see all of the hope he once had, drain from, his eyes in the space of two seconds. The way his lips curled into a frown and how his eyes showed a clear sign of disappointment.

And for some reason, I felt guilty.

"What?" He asked, masking the disappointment behind his thick American accent. I took a deep breath as I prepared myself to feel immense guilt, that I prayed he wouldn't see.

" I said no, I don't remember" I repeated, managing to keep my voice levelled as I revealed the lie that I bestowed upon him. He took a step back and looked at me dubiously. Dammit, he wasn't believing me, I would have to try harder.

"But that doesn't make any sense!" He exclaimed " I saw you, you looked at me like you remembered who I was, I know you remember!" She had to admit his stubbornness caught her off gusrd, she hadn't realised he was quite so observant.

"Well I haven't" I said bluntly. Patricia you're going to have to try harder than that. He narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms.

"Well I don't believe you" He declared bluntly. Suddenly the anger boiled up inside her from no where. Why can't you just give up on me like everyone else! she wanted to say, but that wasn't quite harsh enough, so instead she said.

"Get over yourself Eddie you freak," She snarled and she felt a pang of guilt when she saw him flinch. Admittedly, she had never been so horrible before, but she had to do it. "Not everything is about you, in fact, I think you're extremely pathetic for coming up with this stupid lie" He composed himself and stared at me, as if he was analysing me. I stared at him back, with an equal intensity, challenging his doubt.

"Fine, be that way yacker " He said curtly before he walked off...only to turn around and come back two seconds later "But when you're ready to face the facts. I'll be here" He said before stalking off, for the last time and I exhaled a breath I didn't realise I was holding.

I stood, staring into nothing and repeating the last view minutes, again and again in my head, for the next fifteen minutes; still pressed up against the tree and staring blankly at where Eddie once was. I felt like I was on drugs. My head felt so heavy and I felt like I was trapped in some sort of spinning haze , my stomach was swirling and I was barely aware of my surroundings.

To put my feelings into to once sentence…my mind struggled to process what had just happened.

So here I stood, staring into an open space and watching as the imaginary snow fell. I could feel my whole world, getting colder, harder. I didn't know what to feel, what to do, what to see. I was lost.

I didn't even know what I was so bothered about. So what? Eddie might have known me from when I was younger , that doesn't have to change anything, Or does it? I continued to contemplate these ideas in my head, until my mind just went blank.

…

I only began to really be aware of my surroundings when I felt a drop of water land on my shoulder. Were those tears? Drop, after drop the water landed so I finally looked up.

Right, it was just rain.

After I had reached this conclusion, two things occurred to me.

One, I was sitting on the floor and I didn't even realised. Two, Trudy's is still hurt, time didn't just freeze for my mental breakdown. Time waits for no one.

With these thoughts in my head and the rain drops getting bigger and heavier. I slowly got up, feeling light headed as my back lifted from the tree. How long had I been in this position? Too long, was the answer. After steading my feet off of the ground, I slowly walked back to Anubis.

I didn't know how I would approach this issue with Trudy, but it was definitely going to be difficult. My house mates were not going to make it easy for me to move on from this.I think it' to say -'m fucked.

…

"How is she?"nd get married.

"We don't really know"

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"What? Can you not understand English?"

"Just shut up and explain yourself Jerry"

I had come out of my room to get a glass of water,bwhen I heard two voices whispering each othet, it was Eddie and Jeromd. Now, here I was sitting at the top of the stairs listening in to their conversation. The guilt of eavesdropping was no match for the guilt of hurting Trudy, partly because I wasn't humorously about eavesdropping. I needed to know whether she was okay. It's not like they were secret lovers talking about how they will run away and secretly get married-they were talking about Trudy.

"The doctor didn't say much, he was more concerned about how she got the burns" I flinched at this.

"What did you tell him?"

"That she was cooking and the pot set on fire and she burnt her while she was trying to put it out"

I just wanted to know if she was okay, it killed me to know that she was hurt, and it destroyed me to know that I was the one that hurt her. I just wanted to tell her that I didn't mean it.

I just wanted to tell her I was sorry.

"We need to do something about Patricia" Jerome's voice said suddenly, he sounded agitated, which got my attention, what was he planning this time? Eddie looked almost protective as he narrowed his eyes at Jerome.

"What do you mean?"

"She's dangerous Edison, the fact that she hurt Trudy is pure evidence of that, we need to find a way of getting rid of her of at least-"

"No" Eddie's stern voice cut through the sentence like a knife, Jerome was stunned into silence. My head shot up in astonishment, is he defending me?

"No? What do you mean no?" Jerome asked, equally as astonished as I was, I couldn't even fathom what was happening.

"She has to stay, it's the only way"

"But she's insane! She tried to hurt you Eddie, can't you see? Soon enough she'll hurt the rest of us and-" He argued hysterically.

"She stays" Eddie stated sternly " and that's final" He said before walking off. I could vaguely see the surprise plastered on Jerome's face, his feet were stuck on the ground as he stared at the air with his mouth open. Then after shaking his head, he walked down the boys hall, and all I heard after that was a door slam shut.

I continued to gaze into the open space, his words still fresh in my mind. I had no idea what to say, what to think, I was still trying to figure out why he stood up for me.

Maybe it was his way of trying to get me under his control. Of course, he's going to use this and say that I owe him for what he did and that I have to repay him. But by doing what? What does he want from me?

What could he possibly want from me? I'm not of much use, I'll probably just make it worse, if anything. He should give up, whatever he's doing…

Suddenly, I heard a creaking noise.

While, stuck in my own thoughts it had not occurred to me where he could have walked off. But now I could see that he has walked up half the stairs and he would see me in about two seconds. I looked to my left and my eyes met with his, in a cold stare down. He eyes boring into mine, seeking every answer to all of his questions, but not receiving anything.

As much as I hated being scrutinized I had to admit, I was doing the exact same thing. We continued to look into each other's eyes. He saw the river of confusion flowing through my eyes and I saw the deep black hole filled with passion.

That's what scared me the most. I was so stunned by his very presence that I could just about utter the word…

"Why?" He crouched down next to me, his eyes never leaving mine and placed his hand on my cheek. I gasped as my eyes widened…I wasn't used to being touched this way, but then I looked at his eyes…they were burning with intensity, the space between us was so little, I felt my head spinning.

He smiled ever so slightly before, getting to leave. Without even sparing glance at him, I rushed into my room and slammed the door behind me. I slipped down to the floor and hugged my chest, I felt my self gasping for air with one question is mind.

What was happening to me?
