The Baby Doll Fic

Tension (Patrick's POV)

"Yes, thank you have a great day." I grabbed my receipt and bag and left the store.

Upon approaching the house, something felt a little off, but I was unsure of what it was. I felt my pockets and realized I forgot my keys. "Damn it, I hope Dani left the door unlocked. She always does, what am I saying." That is one of her flaws, maybe the biggest. I just get so anxious if the door is unlocked. Like, what if an Axe-murderer just walks in and kills us?

I finally reached the front door of our apartment and I tried to turn the handle only to see that it was locked. I went to see if the spare key was there, and it wasn't. Where did the spare key go?

After looking for the key for a couple minutes, I gave up and started knocking on the door, "Babydoll? Open up I have your medicine." There was no answer. Maybe she decided to go and take a nap in our bedroom?

Walking through the bushes, careful to not step on the flowers, I made my way to the back window. Then I tripped on a branch, spilling everything out of my bag. "Ugh, why must this happen to me," I bend down and pick everything up, placing it all back into the grocery bag. I readjusted myself before finally going to knock on the window, arm up with my hand balled into a fist. Just before knocking, I made direct eye contact with none other than Pete and he was under MY  Babydoll...

I see Dani turn around, looking dazed and confused but once we held eye contact, her face dropped. I kept looking back and forth between Dani and Pete. I couldn't believe it. Just realizing what is happening, every single thought and doubt I had in the past about Dani, it was all true. All of the information was flooding my brain and I felt light-headed. "Babydoll..."

And just like that, I blacked out. I woke up on the couch with the two standing in front of me, finally dressed.

"Baby? Babe?!" I hear her  say. "Oh my god! Thank GOD you're awake"

"Patrick, are you okay?"

I stood up, "NO, I AM NOT OKAY. YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN FUCKING BEHIND MY BACK!" I roared and looked directly at Dani, "All of my doubts about you have been true."

Dani stared at me with tears brimming her eyes, "What doubts, Patrick?"

"Don't look at me like that!" I snarled, "You said Pete in bed, and left condom wrappers on the bedroom floor knowing damn well I don't use condoms."

"I said wheat!" She replied defensively.

Pete was on the verge of laughter but also concerned about the situation at hand.

"Oh don't give me that bullshit, we both know that's a lie," I turned to Pete, "And you. How could you?"

"I guess you could say we're even now." Pete nonchalantly said.

Dani looked at the two of us, mainly uneasy with the comment Pete had made, "Huh?" 

I glared at the two, "I guess I'll leave the two of you to it." I trudged towards my bedroom and grabbed a few of my belongings before storming out the front door to leave the two of them behind.

Well, what now? I stood outside and decided to call up Joe.

"Patrick?" Joe answered the phone.

"Hey, man. Do you think I can crash at your place for a bit?" I sighed.

"Yeah, sure. What's up?"

"I just need some time away...." I muttered.

"Is everything alright Patrick?"

"I'll tell you when I get there."

After I hung up, I listened closely to the door and heard the two of them arguing, with sobs coming from Dani. 

As I turned to leave, that's when I heard, "GET OUT!!!!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I arrived at Joe's house, ringing the doorbell and waiting for a response. The door opened and out came an eager looking Joe. 

"Yo wuss poppin' p?"

I sniffled, "You wanna know wuss poppin'?" I started bawling.

Joe looked shocked and came towards me, taking me by the arm and bringing me over to the couch.

I curled onto the couch, continuing my sobbing.

"Patrick, what happened?" 

"Well..." I tried to come to my senses, "Dani wasn't feeling well, so I went to the store to pick up some medicine for her, but the door was locked and I saw in the bedroom window..." there were tears forming again.

Joe looked at me, "What is it? What did you see Patrick?"

"D-Dani and Pete..." My voice strained.

"What? I can't hear you."

"THEY WERE FUCKING!"

"I knew it!" Joe exclaimed. 

I stared at him wide-eyed, "Huh?"

"I just had this gut feeling that they were up to something, I got the vibes from them," Joe said knowingly.

"Why didn't you tell me any earlier if you thought there was something going on?"

"I wasn't certain, plus I couldn't really contact you from prison." 

"How did you know they were together?"

"Well last week or so I decided I wanted to surprise you guys and take you to the beach, but unfortunately, you were in prison and Dani and Pete were at the house together so I took them along instead."

"It's been going on for weeks?" I asked disappointingly.

"I guess so...But what are you gonna do about all of this?" 

I hadn't thought about that until now, "What am I supposed to do about it?"

"That's up to you Patrick, are you gonna keep those two around?"

"Well, on one hand, Pete's my best friend, and I love Dani with my whole heart. But on the other hand, THEY BOTH BETRAYED ME."

Joe shrugged his shoulders, looking distressed.

"I've been friends with Pete for years and I've only known Dani for about 11 months or so, did I move too fast?"

"Why don't you talk to both of them and figure something out."

"Yeah, good idea."
