A/N: So once again thank you to anyone who reads or reviews it always so lovely to hear your thoughts on the story. As I said before there is still a lot more to come from Fabian the lovable villain but for all you Peddie fans out there, this chapter sees the return of Eddie Yay. It seems a while since we heard from him. Anyways I hope you enjoy this chapter, thanks Bamboo x
She is staring directly into my eyes and nodding instantly, "Of course I will come with you, but you have to be the one to tell him about Fabian." She's right I have to keep my promise to Mia; I have to be there for Eddie which meant one thing I needed to talk to him.
"I know I'm going to be there for Eddie even if he doesn't want me to." I want to see him now; no I needed to see him now. I needed to tell him that I believed him. "I need to find him now Piper."
She nodded knowingly "Okay, well let's get out of here now."
The walk of the Eddie's was the most nerve racking ever. My heart was beating double speed and palms had begun to sweat. It seemed to take forever; I just wanted to see him. My throat had dried up and forehead felt as if it were dripping. This was it, we were at Eddie's and thank god Piper was here with me because I honestly don't believe I could do this on my own.
"You are going to knock Patty or am I going to have to do it for you?" I know she is joking and would do anything for me because she loves me but I'm terrified of the Eddie that might open the door. He's the Eddie who has lost everything because of me and I'm so afraid of how he will react to seeing me. I shake the feeling from my head and knock the door once. We wait for what feels like hours, why wouldn't Eddie answer.
"Look maybe he's not in?" I wasn't an idiot, Eddie was most definitely in but I didn't want to be disappointed.
"He in, both you and I know that Patty. Knock again." She was right we both knew he was there but he was just refusing to answer. With that I took one glance at Piper and decided to knock again, only thing was that this would be the last time I would wait. Eddie once again didn't answer.
Piper was the one to talk or should I say shout through the door, "Eddie, we know you are in there so ANSWER THE DOOR!" With that I heard the shuffling behind the door, he was moving. Then I heard the bolt of the door being undone and with one swift movement the door was open.
Eddie looked us both up and down, "What do you want?" Eddie had looked terrible and when I say terrible I mean it. He had looked so unkempt: his hair had not been gelled back, his eyes were red and bloodshot indicating he hadn't slept in days and he had the start of the most hideous beard growing. I couldn't help but feel guilty, I had brought this upon him and it was all my fault but I had promised Mia to be there for her father and I wasn't about to break it.
"I want to talk to you Eddie, can we come in?" From the look on Eddie face, he didn't want us to come inside but that wasn't going to stop me. I look toward Piper and we smile knowingly as if we had this planned the whole time.
"No you can't come in because I don't want you near me!" Eddie was angry and understandably so, with one quick glance at Piper and then barge my way through into Eddie's apartment. Piper is quick to follow and I have to say I was shocked by what I see. Eddie's place was a mess – if I was honest it was like a bomb had hit it. There were dirty plates scattered over of the work surfaces, empty can dumped all over the floor and hundreds of packets of pop tarts littered the sofa. Eddie hadn't been doing well since Mia had been taken away and no-one had even realised.
I so wrapped up in what Eddie's flat looked like that I failed to notice Eddie slip away into the Kitchen. So once I had realised I knew this was my opportunity to get him alone. I went to the kitchen leaving Piper cleaning the living room.
"Hey Eddie, we need to talk?" He looked towards me as if he couldn't believe I had the cheek to be inside his house.
"What about, after you got me arrested and had my child taken away from me I didn't think we had anything left to talk about." He was angry and he had every right to be, I had storming in here too which didn't help either.
"Cut the bullshit Eddie. I want to talk you about this," I said whilst pointing towards my face, "I know you didn't do it." He was now listening intently, soaking up every word I said.
"How do you know that eh?" He was being sarcastic too, this was the part of Eddie that I didn't like so much – the argumentative side.
"I just do okay. It was Fabian who did this and there is no way in hell I'm letting you take the blame for it."
"Well I hope to god you have some good evidence to prove that Fabian did this to you."
"Urmm, well I had as good as a confession from him, well I say a confession he ran away from me when I questioned him." Even I knew that wasn't really going to cut it as evidence.
"That's great Patricia, I'm sure a judge will let me off if you say that you know Fabian did it because he ran away. Use your head no judge will excuse me. Why did you come here if that all you could tell me, it not going to help me tomorrow." Tomorrow, what did Eddie mean by tomorrow?
"What do you mean it's not going to help you tomorrow?" I hadn't heard anything about tomorrow; right now I had no idea what he meant.
"Well then you should ask your father because my trial starts tomorrow."
