Boycott Love (Sequel to Don't Come Home For Christmas) ~ Peterick

Chapter Three - We're Only Liars, but We're the Best..

P.O.V Patrick

Brendon and I sat in silence for a few minutes when Sarah came down. "Oh, Patrick? What are you doing here?" Sarah said happily, sitting down beside Brendon. 

"I.. uh.. was just leaving." 

"What about Pete?" Brendon asked almost desperately. I thought for a second before flipping out my phone. 

Woah, ten missed calls from Pete. Frantic texts. 

Patrick, dude I'm sorry. Come back? 

Patrick you've been away an hour. Having fun with Elisa then?

Patrick it's been three hours now. Where are you?

IT'S 3AM. WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?

Please tell me you're not still with her.

Are you cheating?

Patrick you've been gone all night, please just reply. 

I'm starting to get a little worried.

You're not answering my phone calls.

I hope you're okay.. 

The last one hurt a bit. He probably thinks something's happened. "Patrick? Who's texting you? Is Pete fine with you coming back? Cause if he isn't you can stay." Brendon said, again sounding a little hopeful. "He's worried sick about me.. I'll call you later okay?" I gave Brendon a hug, said Goodbye to Sarah and walked out. 

 Oh man, what's Pete gonna say? 

P.O.V Pete

Patrick still hasn't answered my texts or calls. I'm kinda mad and really worried. I should probably start calling people soon. 

I picked up my phone to start calling people when Patrick himelf walked in. "Hey." He said bluntly as if he had just been to the shop for five minutes, not out all night God knows where. 

"Hey? Hey!? Patrick you've been gone for most of today and all of last night." I walked swiftly over to him and hugged him as tight as I could. "I didn't sleep at all.." I said. Patrick's expression remained neutral and slightly nervous. What, was he hiding something from me now? I let go of him and took a step back, waiting for his explanation.

"Really? Uh, sorry." He said, stammering and not looking me in the eyes. "Gonna tell me where you were?" 

"Yeah I went to.. see Elisa. Then.. uh.. I spent the night at Brendon's." 

I didn't believe a word of it. "Don't mind if I call Brendon then?" I was already reaching for my phone and searching for his number. "What? You don't believe me?!" He looked enraged now. "No, quite frankly I don't." I spat back at him. "That's pretty shitty of you Pete." 

"Trying to hide something maybe?" 

"No! Go ahead and call him then." Patrick turned around and whipped out his phone. I couldn't quite tell who he was texting but it was probably either Brendon or Elisa. 

Brendon picked up straight away. "Hey dude what's up?!" Brendon said cheerfully. "Did Patrick sleep at yours last night?" I wasn't wasting time telling him me and Patrick are fighting. "Uumm.. yup." 

"You don't sound very certain." 

"He did! I just didn't know if that's a good or bad thing." 

"It's both. Where did he come from?"

"He didn't tell me." 

"Strange. What was he like when he got there?" 

"Dru.. dreadful. Musn't have enjoyed where ever he was before."

What was he going to say before that? Something's definitely up. "Okay, thanks Bren." 

"Anytime P." 

When I ended the call Patrick couldn't have had a smugger look on his face. I wanted to slap it off him like he slapped me last week but there's no point in it. "Brendon says he didn't know where you were before.. yet he confirms you did stay at his. Why didn't you tell him you were with Elisa then?" 

Patrick looked lost, like he hadn't got an answer. "Because.. he never liked Elisa. I was afraid he'd get angry at me like you did." Okay, maybe he did have an answer. "Where did you and Elisa go then?" I said, changing my tone completely and making myself interested. "A Cafe near Lincoln Park." 

"The one we used to go down with the guys to?"

"Yup.."

"Okay then. I believe you." 

"Good.. I'm.. uh going up to our room." Patrick said, rushing up the stairs before I even got a chance to say okay. I got up from the sofa and headed over to the fridge and started making dinner.

I'm really glad Patrick isn't cheating on me with Elisa I guess but I'm not convinced something else isn't going on..
