I've started to become so extremely lazy these days... I really need to finish this because that's my summer goal :) I've been making this story but it's not HOA. I hope that when I find time to post that story you guys might take the time to read it. Thanks for all the reviews by the way! Ok so on with the story...

Eddie's POV

Jerome and I arrive at Ysabella's doorstep a few minutes before the set time. I take a quick glance around to make sure everybody's in place. Alfie is stationed up on a nearby tree, giving him a good view of the interior of the house. Nina and Fabian are concealed behind a low hedge with binoculars in hand, watching the porch we're standing on, and the two of us as well. Mara is supposedly near the back door of the building, lying in wait. Amber, being well AMBER, has been assigned to sneak around and take pictures of whatever's going on. Ding dong. Jerome rings the doorbell.

"You made it" a triumphant looking Ysabella says, opening the door. "Do come in" she steps aside, giving us room to enter the bungalow.

"So why are we here?" Jerome asks as the petite snob closes the door behind her.

"I'm keeping you here! Didn't you know that? Oh and everything's set for you upstairs"

"What the hell are you talking about?" I exclaim. Nobody said STAYING here was part of the deal.

"Do you want to see your girlfriend or not?" Jerome hisses at me.

"I do! Just shut up for a minute!" I respond. I turn to Ysabella.

"So... Where's my Trixie?"

"Oh yeah. That brat. Give me a sec" she says. "BOYS! BRING HER IN!" she screams at the top of her lungs. I hear a shuffling of feet to my right and turn in that direction in time to see a severely bruised, but still breathtaking, Patricia enter the room.

"Yacker!" I shout, running to her and gathering her in my arms.

"Ow" she says and I pull away. I notice that she has various cuts all over her body, some still bleeding.

"What's wrong? Do you need a doctor or something? Do you need help?" I ask, rather stupidly.

"Of course she needs help you idiot!" Jerome says, whacking me on the head. Leave it to Jerome to state the obvious.

"I'm in tiptop shape Eddie. Just a few stitches here and there. No big deal" she says sarcastically.

"YOU, my dear, are very bad at jokes" I tease, earning a very painful punch on my arm.

"Oh shut up!" she beams at me, and I smile back.

"Um hello? I'm still here you know!" Ysabella suddenly says, hands on her hips.

"Oh come on! You're leaving me hostage here and you can't even give me a few minutes with my girlfriend?" I complain, shooting her a look.

"As a matter of fact, yes. She saw the video Eddie. Our kiss, the one I had with Jerome, she saw every little detail of it. She knows you kissed me back" Bella says. I turn to Patricia once more.

"Trixie please tell me you don't believe her! I only did that to keep you safe! Please Patricia" I plead, looking directly into her eyes.

"Eddie!Take a chill pill alright? I know that!"

"Really?" I ask in disbelief. "No joke?" I lean closer to her.

"No joke slimeball" she says, smiling. I press my lips gently on hers briefly, then pull away.

"I feel better already" she whispers.

Patricia's POV

All of a sudden, somebody started to knock at the door.

"Ysabella Everette?" a gruff voice said. Bella made her way to the door and there stood a uniformed police officer.

"May I help you?" she said in a sugary- sweet tone. Disgusting.

"I have a complaint here that-"

"OH MY GOSH PATRICIA!" Amber ran into the room, brushing past Ysabella.

"Excuse me? Have you forgotten that this is MY house?" Bella said, staring daggers at her.

"Have you forgotten that kidnapping someone is against the law?" Amber turned to face her, hands on hips.

"I never kidnapped anybody!" she shrieked, starting to panic.

"Oh really? So what, you just abducted me?" Jerome said sarcastically.

"I never did anything Jerome!"

"So what, I just saved Jerome from your twin?" Mara said, appearing at the doorway.

"You're making a HUGE mistake Mara. I never did that" Ysabella tried acting innocent.

"Oh yes you did" Jerome shot back.

"Not to mention hurting my Yacker over here" Eddie said, wrapping an arm around my waist.

"Just give it up already!" Amber said impatiently. "We know how low you'd stoop Bella. Who's next? Fabian? Mick? ALFIE?"

"I don't know what you're talking about" Ysabella said.

"Oh really? Here's a video of everything you just said Bella" Nina handed over a camera to the police officer. "Did you really think we wouldn't have proof?"

Ysabella started to run out of the door but Fabian and Alfie caught both her arms before she could get away.

"Nice seeing you Bella! You ready for a trip to the station?" Alfie grinned from ear-to-ear.

"I did nothing! You guys are making a huge mistake!" she whined as she was hand-cuffed and helped into the police car waiting in front of the garage.

"We're not ma'am. I can assure you of that" the police officer said, helping Bella into the back of the car.

"You'll hear from my father about this! He'll sue all of you!"

"I really don't care Bella" I replied, leaning my head against Eddie's shoulder. "See you in court though!"

The police sirens wailed, drowning out my kidnapper's screams and complaints as they drove her away.

"Hey Yacker?" Eddie said into my ear.

"Yeah?"

"I'm glad you're safe" he told me, as he kissed my forehead. "But we really need to take you to the hospital"

"Sounds good to me! At least I'll have Joy there" I replied, smiling. "Anywhere but here"

"Let's go then!" he said, taking my hand and leading me towards his car.

"Amber? Did you talk to Joy?" I asked before getting in.

"Yeah! She's bloody glad to have you safe!" Amber grinned as she hopped into Alfie's black Mazda. "We all are Trixie!"
