Drabble #23: End of Term See You Later's

Prompted by: Me! I'm out of prompts! Send 'em in!

Patricia

This is it. Today was the day. And before you guess, no, I'm not getting married! It was our last day here at Anubis for this term. Basically I've spent all day packing the rest of my things; avoiding Eddie. I was afraid that if I was near him that I would just break down and cry. I'm Patricia Williamson, I don't cry. Except for Eddie. Like when I thought he was cheating on me. I cried. But that's it. Just then a faint knock came from my door. "Come in." I mutter, looking for my iPod.

"Hey." A voice says. I turn around to see: Eddie. What do ya know?

"Hey..." I say.

"Are you okay?" He asks, concern filling his voice.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why do you ask?" I continue rummaging through the remainder of my things.

"You've been avoiding me."

"What? No I haven't..." I lie, still looking for my iPod. "Have you seen my iPod?" I ask, trying to change the subject.

"Patricia, don't do this. Stop changing the subject." He scolds me, while I sigh. I slip a pair of headphones around my neck. Still no iPod. He then comes over to me, and wraps me in a hug. I don't refuse, just do the same thing. I feel safe in his arms, it feels right. Hot tears begin to steam up, slowly cascading down my face. He takes a step back. "Awe Yacker, don't cry." He frowns, wiping the tears from my eyes.

"Your going to move on, aren't you?" I whisper.

"What?! Patricia no! I could never! Like I said, I care about you too much to do that." He smiles, and I return it.

"I'm going to miss you." I sigh. He takes my hand, and begins to play with my fingers.

"I know. Trust me, I feel the same way. But in my part, it'll be ten times worse." He says, and I stare into his eyes. Every time I do they make me want to melt. "C'mere." He whispers, taking me in his arms once more. I do so, and he kisses my hair softly. Eddie begins rubbing circles on my back, as we just sit there in silence, enjoying our last few moments together. Another knock at the door is heard.

"Patricia?" A voice calls softly. Trudy comes in. My lip quivers. "Your parents are here." She then notices Eddie, and leaves us to be alone.

"I'll see you over the summer... May even come back here to visit." Eddie says.

"Yeah." I manage to choke out.

"C'mon, I'll walk you down." He says, throwing an arm around me. We walk down the steps in silence, until we get to the main hallway.

"This is it isn't it?" I whisper.

"I guess it is." He replies. He leans in, and I meet him halfway. Our last kiss is interrupted by a horn, and we both sigh. "It's not goodbye, but see you later's, okay?" He half-smiles.

"Okay. See you later." I say, while he hugs me once more, and then I head off. I open the door, and head out to the car.

"Hey Patricia!" My mom says to me, hugging me.

"Can we just go?" I mutter, sitting in the back, behind my dad.

"Yeah sure, lets go." My dad says, pulling out of the drive. I slide my hands into my pockets, and a familiar cool metal graces my skin. I pull it out, seeing that it is my iPod. I plug in the headphones, pulling them over my ears. "Nothing to listen to..." I whisper to myself, going through my music. I then go to my playlists, and see something unfamiliar: Yacker and Slimeball, it reads. I smile, and intrigued, open the playlists to see the songs. A collection of Eddie and I's favorite songs, all arranged in one place. I quickly press shuffle, and the music plays faintly in my ears.

I'm holding onto white balloons up against a sky of doom...

Okay! I need prompts! HOA S3 is over and I'm still trying to process that. It may take me a while. I still haven't processed the fact that I'm in school yet. I managed to convince myself that it's only temporary, and soon enough It'll be back to normal: summer vacation. Haha lol:) who had a good day today? I didn't... Nothing worst wasting your time over, just school stuff:) I think I'm gonna try to write a chapter to Shadows, my co-write with Love2Write21, tonight. It'll probably be up tomorrow or the day after:) Who can't wait for Season 2 re-runs starting Monday? Hmm? I can't wait for the 90 min TV-movie! Yay! I'll see y'all tomorrow! :) also:
