Prologue
Beep! Beep! Beep! Eddie flipped the switch off on his alarm clock. He folded the blanket over and slipped out of bed. He walked over to his closet pulling out a solid gray T-shirt. He slipped it on over his head and grabbed a pair of black running shorts from the bottom. He slipped them on and grabbed his iPhone and ear buds from the nightstand next to his bed. Eddie walked over to the door stopping to look at his sleeping roommate. He walked over pulling Fabians blanket back over his body, grabbed the bags of chips and the cans of soda from next to Fabians bed on the floor. He threw them into the trash and wiped his hands off on a towel next to the closet. He walked back over to the door, opened it and then shut it quietly behind him. He silently crept down the hallway and up the stairs to the girl's rooms. He stopped at the stop of the stairs as he recreated the map that Patricia gave him in his head. Eddie crept down the hall to the second door on the right, opened the door and shut it behind him. He walked over to Patricia's bed sitting on the edge. He sat there watching her as she slept. He got up off the bed, leaned over about to give her a kiss on the top of the head when her hand shot up. She grabbed the back of his neck pulling him in for a sweet long kiss. She pulled away with a smile on her face. Eddie smiled too. He said goodbye and then crept back out the door, down the stairs and out the main door. He pushed in his ear buds and pushed play on his iPhone screen as he began his run. As he ran down the drive, all that he could think about was Patricia. The way she looked when she slept. The way her hands felt on his skin. He couldn't believe it has already been three months. Today was the day. He just couldn't wait.
