Chapter: 30

The next morning I wake up and I am still in Patrick's arms. I notice he is wearing the same clothes from last night. I try not to wake him and I slither out of his arms and into the bathroom. I wash my hands and face and I see Patrick's awake.

'Did I wake you?' I ask him.

'No not at all, I just missed your warmth. How are you feeling?' He asks me taking me into his arms and kissing me gently.

'All right I guess, I'm sorry about last night' I tell him.

'Why on earth are you sorry? You have no reason to be, I'm the one who is sorry. I just want to kick his ass' he says.

'Please don't, I hate fighting but I appreciate the thought. Why didn't you change for bed?' I ask.

He shrugs 'I couldn't leave you even to change. I wanted you to know I was there even after you feel asleep' he smiles

'You're the best honestly I don't know what I would do without you. I love you' I kiss him and he returns the kiss.

'I love you too, you wanna get dressed and order breakfast?' He asks me and I nod.

Patrick goes into the bathroom and I dig through my suitcase. I pull out my jean shorts, a black tank top and my denim vest. I change and the put on some natural make up and some lip gloss and I slide on my clogs. Patrick gets dressed orders breakfast and I grab my purse, a glass of water and I sit at the glass table outside. I light up a cigarette and exhale. I'm still upset about last night but there's nothing I can do now so I need to calm down. I grab my purse and I dig thought it and I pop out my birth control pill for the day and I pop it into my mouth and then take a sip of water. Darcy comes out side wearing some tight white shorts, a white pull over sweater and some sneakers.

'Popping pills already Jo?' She asks me sitting down at the table with me.

I look confused 'What?' I ask her and Dave comes out and sits next to her.

'Whats happening?' He asks, Darcy.

'I just saw Jo take some pills, darling. She must be addicted to be taking so many in the morning' Darcy says, pretending to be insulted.

'Pills? What pills?' I think about what she could have seen.

'Whats going on out here?' Patrick says going up behind me.

'Your girlfriend was taking pills out here and Darcy caught her isn't that right, doll?' Dave asks Darcy, holding her shoulder.

'Thats right, I saw her take out pills from her purse and then wash them down with whatever she has in that glass' she says.

It just clicked 'It wasn't pills it was one pill and not that it's your business but it was my birth control pill and this is water in the glass, you idiot' I tell her.

'Birth Control? Are you kidding me? I knew you were a slut. How dare you go against god's plan for children so you can whore about and sleep around. Thats repulsive' Dave says getting mad.

'Patrick, did you know that she was on birth control? She is clearly cheating on you.' I just shake my head roll my eyes.

'Dave calm down, I did know that she was on birth control and she's not cheating on me' Patrick says inching towards him 'I'm sick of you talking about her like she's nothing. She's everything to me do you understand that?' I get up and hold him back.

'Patrick, please calm down. I don't like fighting and they aren't worth it, okay?' I look at him 'Focus on me all right, look at me' I tell him

Patrick's breathing calls down as he looks at me. 'I'm sorry you're right.'
