A/N: Sorry for the late update, had lots of exams but I'm back now. This chapter would have been better if I hadn't started it ages ago and then finished over a week later. Hope you enjoy, feel free to advise on the chapter.

Chapter 7-

I could feel the anger rising inside of me. I felt like I was going to explode. He had really agreed to this, just so he could get closer to Piper. I didn't want to cry and I definitely couldn't show Eddie how hurt I was. I had to leave now. Just as i turned to escape this hell i caught him staring at me apologetically. What did he care all of a sudden?I had to tell myself he's pathetic. I chanced a look one last time and then knew I had to get out. I couldn't stay here i could feel the walls closing in around me so I burst out the restaurant slamming the door with so much force that he was unable to immeadiatly chase after without making it look like a scene. I'm running now, I don't know where but I know that I need to escape from the suffocation of it all. My legs are tiring, I can't stop now I just need room to breathe, so I keep going anywhere. It's only when I feel an arm pulling me back, that I know he's been following me. "Patricia, will you wait. Hear me out, please?"

"I don't need your run down excuses, or how you've been in love with Piper since the moment your saw her." Why is it always Piper, every guy prefers her. It can't be based on looks, were identical, so what was it that she had that I didn't. I knew one thing, she didn't have a back bone, she was spineless. Were her and Eddie some kind of thing, were they going behind Alfie's back. Was this a way to persuade Piper that she was better off with Eddie? I didn't care I just wanted out, out of the deal and I wanted him out of my life now!

"Look, Patricia, I did originally agree to help you out in the hopes that I could closer to Piper…" Eddie was placing his index finger under my chin so we were looking directly in each eyes. I didn't want this, he knew that I would have to look at him if he was controlling my gaze.

"Why are you even trying to reason with me!" He just staring at me like, he wants to say something but he knows that I'm unlikely to care. He opens his mouth like he is going to say something but it me who is going to have the upper hand in this argument "Look I want you out of my life. NOW!" I turn away from him, I can't bear to look at him right now, I have to go and before I know it I'm running back to the flat.

I rush to my room, a room where last night I spend it with him. I'm so stupid, thinking anyone would want to help me, why did I agree to this stupid deal. The unmade bed and the spare towel on the radiator are all just a dull reminder that Eddie wasn't the man I thought he was. The only thing at this moment that would help get Eddie off my mind was blasting my new Sick Puppies CD in my room full volume. I must have been in my room for barely minutes when Piper showed up.

"Patricia, what are you doing in your room?" I was not in the mood for her sarcastic tone, not right now anyways so I snapped back "Oh PISS OFF WILL YOU!" I was a little forceful but I wanted her to get the message I was not in the mood for talking.

"Patty, what's going on. One minute, you can't wait to get to the restaurant, the next thing we know is that you not very well!" What did she mean not very well, who told them that. One good guess EDDIE MILLER!

"Eddie tell you that?"I was becoming very agitated by everything he was doing. What right had he going back to the restaurant.

"Well yeah, he did actually. He apologised on your behalf and then excused himself from the dinner." Now he wanted to play good boyfriend, who the hell did he think he was!

"Well, did Eddie also tell you that we broke up?"

"What, why would you to break up. He really likes you." The irony in that was almost laughable, "And may I say how hot he is, what is wrong with you?" Was she seriously telling me this, she had Alfie her fiancée, in no way should she been looking at Eddie.

"Well it's over and I don't want to talk about it anymore!" the irritation in my voice must have been enough to stop Piper pressing the matter. Minutes later, she left me to myself and my thoughts. All I could think about was Eddie. I'd only known him a mere 24 hours and he was already messing with my head. How could he be having this effect on me? I had no idea, but every time I was around, things just seemed simpler which was funny considering how complicated things really were.

Hours passed with these thought swimming in my head, clouding my judgement. It was only when my mother popped her head round the door that I realised the family was back. She stared at me and I nodded indicating it was safe for her to enter. She was hesitant but approached the bed and perched on the end. The silence was killing me, I wanted her to say anything, but she just kept staring.

It was after a few moments that she broke the silence. "Look Patricia darling, I heard about Eddie, I'm sorry…" she was sympathetic and gesturing for me to accept the hug she was going to give me. I accepted gladly, we didn't do this often, the mother-daughter thing was more Piper's thing. Then I had idea, what's the best way to get over a break up. Another boy! That was it I had an idea, maybe one I would regret but I'm sick of feeling sorry for myself so I decided to be blunt about it "Mom, can you invite Fabian here. I think we should catch up!"
