Disclaimer: I don't own house of Anubis :)

The girl from earlier walked up to them and glared at Patricia.

"I see you've still got that jumper on, bitch" she said.

"And I see your still a slag" Patricia shot back.

"You need to watch your mouth" the girl said stepping closer.

"Go on Ariana, do it" one of the girls shouted. Ariana grinned and then she swung back her arm and was about to punch Patricia in the face when a hand grabbed her arm and stopped her from doing so. Ariana turned around and saw a furious Alfie holding her so she couldn't touch Patricia.

"I wouldn't even think about it" he told her as his grip tightened. Ariana took a step back with a terrified expression on her face. Who knew Alfie could be so serious? Alfie was red with anger.

"You touch her and your dead" he threatened. Ariana walked back to her friends and they walked away. Mick and Fabian held Alfie back so he couldn't go after them. But when they were about half way towards the school, they ran back as fast as they could and Ariana, punched Patricia in the mouth, whilst the other two girls, Phoebe and Maddie, slapped Amber on the cheek, and hit Nina in the nose. The boys didn't see the attack coming so they were still holding onto Alfie. Patricia slapped and hit Ariana back, making her have a lovely black eye. They let go the second the girls got hurt. Fabian rushed over to Nina, who was holding her bleeding nose, whilst Mick went over to Amber, who was rubbing her already bruising cheek with tears in her eyes. Alfie went over to Patricia and looked at her mouth. She had a bleeding and swollen lip.

"You okay Trixie?"

"Oh yeah in perfectly fine, happens all the time, don't worry about it" she said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes. Alfie chuckled before he started to walk with her back to Anubis house. Fabian and Nina were behind them, and Amber and Mick were at the back. When the all arrived back to the house, Trudy walked in to greet them all but when she did, her face became full of worry.

"What happened?" She asked them.

"Some bitches don't know when to stop" Patricia mumbled but Trudy heard. Trudy ushered them all into the common room and the girls sat down on the sofa. Trudy first started on Nina by placing cotton wool balls up her nose to help stop the bleeding.

"Tilt your head down. I don't think it's broken, just a bit swollen." She told her.

"Amber dear, I'll jut get you an ice pack to help the bruise" Trudy said as she walked out of the room. She came back a few seconds later with an ice pack, and she passed it to Amber. By this point, both Nina and Amber were crying, Nina because she doesn't like blood, and Amber backseat she was worried her face would be ruined. Fabian gave Nina a hug and sat her on his lap, whilst Mick went over to Amber and hugged her tightly. Alfie just say next next to Patricia and held her hand in a comforting way.

"Patricia let me just take a look at your lip" Patricia sat still while Trudy poked and prodded her lip. She occasionally flinched when Trudy touched a sensitive spot. Eddie was no where to be found.

"It's only cut a bit so it should be fine, I'll get an ice pack to stop the swelling" Trudy told her before she went into the kitchen. She brought out a ice pack and passed it to Patricia who gratefully put it gently on her lip.


At dinner, there was still no sign of Eddie. Patricia still had the ice pack in her lip as it was still painful and swollen and was trying but failing to eat. Amber had given up with trying to cover up her bruise and left it in plain sight. Nina's nose had stopped bleeding but it was still a bit swollen and bruised. Trudy had made cottage pie so it didn't hurt Patricia's lip too much. When they were half way through dinner, or in Patricia's case, a few mouthfuls in, Eddie walked casually through the door and sat down at the table.

"Where've you been?" Mara asked him.

"Just talking to my dad" he replied. He hadn't noticed Patricia's lip yet since the ice pack was on the other side. Eddie started to eat but he noticed that Patricia wasn't eating very fast.

"What's up Yacker?" He asked her.

"I can't believe you haven't noticed yet. Are you blind? I got punched in the mouth and now my lip hurts" she told him. He removed the ice pack and took a look at her eye.

"Did you him then back?" He joked.

"Yep, he now has a great black eye thanks to me" Patricia told him. Eddie smiled proudly before he started to eat again. He saw that Patricia was having trouble eating and holding the ice pack at the same time, so he took her fork from her, and started to feed her. This made her laugh but she still ate. Eddie was very careful and made sure not to go near the left side of her mouth incase he hurt her. The couple were the last two to finish but neither of them cared. Eddie grabbed Patricia an ice lolly from out of the freezer and passed it to her. She ate it all before throwing the wrapper in the bin.

"Tomorrow I'm going to go and talk to my dad about the girls that hurt you, Amber and Nina" Eddie told her.

"You don't have to, it's fi-" Eddie stopped her with a sweet kiss on the side of her mouth that wasn't hurt.

"Yes I do, I want to" he told her truthfully. She nodded and yawned. Eddie pulled her up and walked her to her room.

"I need to get ready, be back in a minute" she told he as he sat down on her bed. She grabbed her things and went into the bathroom to change. When she came back out, Eddie was still sat on her bed listening to music. Patricia pulled the rad phones out of his ears and lay down next to him. Eddie then moved his head down so it was next to Patricia's stomach.

"Hello there, you two. I'm your daddy, and I love you very much. I'm never going to leave you, I promise. I'll love you forever" he said as Patricia smiled at him. Then he kissed her stomach twice in two different places. Just then, Mara rushed in with a tear stained face...
