"But why would they ever have a fight about me? They both hate me at the moment!" KT protested.
"She has a point, Patricia. I mean, they don't hate her, but they aren't exactly her biggest fans at the moment." Fabian pointed out.
"Eddie said that...that it wasn't your fault and that Alfie should apologize. Alfie got angry and started saying it was all your fault. Eddie got angrier and they both started fighting." Joy explained.
"They were given detention and sent back to the house for the rest of the day. Lucky." Patricia said.
KT had a confused look on her face for a moment, then she looked determined. "I'm going to see them."
"KT, you can't just skip lessons!" Joy frowned.
"I can." KT said. "And I will."
"Wait." Fabian said as she began to walk away. "One of us should go with you..."
"I'll go." Patricia said, with a smile.
"Okay, see you later, you two. And be careful!" Joy called, as Patricia and KT rounded the corner.

"I'm worried they'll start getting angry at me." KT whispered, as she hovered outside the house door.
"Look, don't worry. If they start getting angry at you, I'll hit them with a pan." Patricia said reassuringly.
KT laughed and nodded, before slowly opening the door. After looking around, she noticed that Victor wasn't there so she stopped sneaking and just walked in normally, Patricia close behind her.
There were footsteps and Eddie walked out of the living room. When he saw KT and Patricia, he looked down and KT saw a flash of guilt in his eyes.
"KT...hi." Eddie said quietly.
"Can we talk?" KT asked.
Eddie nodded and let KT drag him aside. Patricia went off to find Alfie when KT gave her a nod to confirm it.
"I'm so, so sorry KT." Eddie said. "I was being a total jerk, and I don't even know why. At the time it seemed like a good idea. But I was so wrong and you have no idea how sorry I am."
KT nodded slowly. "Don't let it go unsaid that you really, really hurt me, Eddie."
"I know, and I'm sorry. I'm not worthy of your friendship, but I had to get the guilt off my mind a little bit. It will always be there, but an apology would..." Eddie was cut off by KT hugging him tightly.
"Eddie, I forgive you. You're one of my best friends and I hated it that we were in a fight...somewhat." KT pulled away and smiled, but then her face turned serious. "I heard you were in a fight with Alfie about me..."
"Yeah, he...he was being disrespectful to you and I lost it." Eddie shrugged. "Nobody talks about my best friend like that." he grinned.
With that, he and KT headed towards Alfie's room...

"How can you still think it's KT's fault, Alfie?" Patricia asked, rolling her eyes. "It's yours as well, why is it so hard for guys to admit it when they're wrong?"
"You don't understand, Trixie..." Alfie mumbled.
"Yeah, I do. You're too much of a wimp to admit that you and KT slept together, and that it's just as much your fault as it is hers." Patricia said.
"No, that's...that's not it." Alfie looked up and Patricia frowned; his eyes were sorrowful and he was on the brink of tears, just about.
"Then...explain to me. What is it?" Patricia sat on the bed beside him and placed a hand on his arm. Her glare had melted into a softer, more concerned expression now and she was worried. Alfie was, after all, one of her best friends.
"If I've gotten KT pregnant...I'll never forgive myself." Alfie told her. "Because...I can't be a father. I'd be horrible at it. You don't understand, Trixie, I don't want to admit defeat until I know that she isn't pregnant. I'm...I'm not good enough for her or any baby I may have given her...I'd just let them down." he rested his head in his hands.
"Alfie, that's not true...besides, it will be KT's first time at having a baby...if she's pregnant that is. So she'll help you! But you're hurting her even more by acting like you hate her." Patricia told him. "Alfie, you're one of the sweetest guys I've ever met, and you'd never let KT down." she rubbed his arm and then stood up. "She's here, by the way."
"Wait, what?" Alfie blinked.
"She heard about your fight with Eddie and she came back. She's talking to him right now, and he's apologizing...I think." Patricia told him.
"Oh no!" Alfie jumped up.
"Alfie?" Patricia frowned.
"No, you don't understand!" Alfie began.
"Stop saying that, you've said it like twenty times. Calm down and explain what's wrong." Patricia crossed her arms.
"I called KT horrible, horrible things...if she hears it from Eddie she's going to freak out!" Alfie told her.
"Alfie, what did you call her?" Patricia asked.
"I...I said that..." Alfie groaned. "I said that she'd get over it if I got her pregnant because she'd probably slept with guys before...and...I called her pathetic for coming here and expecting to replace Nina and I said she was incapable of doing anything but painting her nails."
"Alfie, all of that is bad, but surely it's nothing to worry about!" Patricia said.
"And...I also called her..." Alfie trailed off.
"Alfie, tell me. Right now." Patricia told him sternly.
"I said she was a freak, an attentionwhore and a bitch with no life...I said that she takes pride in ruining everyone else's lives."
"Oh my God, Alfie!" Patricia exclaimed. "Why would you ever say that? That's not like you at all!"
"I was really angry! And I was willing to do anything to make KT hate me at the time. Trixie, if Eddie's told her, there's no chance she'll ever forgive me!" Alfie said.
"Alfie...even if you tell her she's going to be angry..." Patricia sighed. "All of that was completely uncalled for and KT is going to be angry. But if she hears it from you telling her, then she'll be a bit more calm about it."
"I'm not going to tell her, Trixie, I can't." Alfie said.
"You have to, Alfie!"
"I'm not doing it." Alfie said. He walked over to his door and opened it.
"Wow, Alfie." KT said, as soon as he'd opened it. "That's what you really think, huh?"
"Wait, KT, let me explain, please!"
"Save it!" KT yelled, and she turned on her heel and stormed upstairs. "I'm sick of you doing this to me, Alfie Lewis! I hate you!"
Oh god more drama teehee. Hope you enjoyed this chapter :)
