Wait, I'm Sorry: Patrick Huston

"Just hurry up," Patrick ordered and rolled his eyes.

"Okay. So... Close your eyes and I'll hand you stuff," I smiled, excited.

"I hate your smile." My smile faded a little and then fully. I looked down and he closed his eyes. I handed him a box from Louis and he opened it with his eyes closed. He felt it and opened them to find the shoes. He stared at them and set them aside.

"Do you at least like them?" I asked.

"It's whatever," he said and I knew he liked it. He closed his eyes and I handed him a second box. He opened his eyes to find the belt. He ran his thumb over the buckle and set it aside as well.

"Now... The rest of these are kinda small, but I hope you like them." I handed him the ring box and he opened it. He set it with his other stuff and closed his eyes. I gave him the watch finally and he opened the box. His lips parted a bit and he looked at me, closing it. I was about to smile, but caught myself. "Which one is your favorite?" I asked and he stared me in the eyes, but it felt like a glare. "Right... I'll get out," I got to the door.

"Cordelia-" He started.

"No, I-I get it. You hate me. it's fine," I shruged and went to walk to my room. Tayler's door was open. I knocked and he looked up from his phone.

"Hey," he smiled.

"Hey. Um... Are you hungry?"

"A bit. Why?"

"Can we drive to Sonic?"

"Mh-Hm." He got his keys and led me out. We ordered food and Tayler went live. "'Where are you guys?' We're at Sonic waiting for our food."

"'Who is she?'"

"I don't know. There's a random person in the car. Nah, this is Cordy. Jake and Logan Paul's sister."

"'Are you dating?' No! Weirdo! Ew!" I smiled and it faded quickly. We got our food and Tayler ended his live so we could eat in peace. We ate our food in the parking lot and finished our drinks. I had the blue raspberry with nerds and Tayler had the Grape slush with Nerds. They were pretty good and we tried each others. Tayler drove us back and I walked to my room. I changed for the night and slept.

In th morning, I went down to find Jake and Elle.

"Finally. Get your stuff. I drove your car here. The house is finished and we're moving back in," Elle pushed me.

"Come with me," I pulled her and we went to the room. She took most of the stuff to my car and I took my suitcase which was the last thing. I was walking down the hall when Patrick came out of his room. I quickly walked past him, but he stopped me. "Please. Stop. I-I'm going home. If you don't want me to come back, just say it. Because I might not ever come back." He never said anything and stayed quiet. "Okay," I nodded and left. I was happy to be home and organized everything again. There were more legos in the walls and there were hidden scenes in them. Jake called me over and had me pull a string. I did and a bunch of legos fell out. It was super cool and my favorite was the puppies. I spent the day thinking about Patrick and honestly didn't regret getting him anything. Something was up with him and I wanted to find out. But I was never going to the Hype House again. My phone dinged and I checked it out to see that Josh needed me at Sway. I drove over and they wanted me in a TeaTok vid.

"What's the drama between you and Patrick?" Josh asked me.

"He's mean to me. That's all. He's rude and mean and I told him I wouldn't be back at the Hype House. So not much content with them. Unless Patrick and I have peace between us. We're both practically adults and bullying isn't something we should be doing. And the other one shouldn't be just telling everyone," I explained and we finished. Bryce wanted me to be in his video and was trying to find Blake a girlfriend.

"Hi. Cordy," I shook Blake's hand and he nodded.

"So how old are you?" Blake asked.

"18..." Bryce set White Claws in front of us and we drank them.

"So... Special talents?"

"I have none."

"She has a big ass," Bryce said and had me show my ass to BLake, but with Jeans on. Blake chose every girl to be his girlfriend as a joke, but was still single. "Can you and Cordy kiss for the thumbnail?" Blake kissed me quickly and they let me leave at night.

I ended up staying awake since we all had a movie night. I slept at 2 in the morning, but was still free when I woke up. I got ready and had breakfast with the girls when Jake announced Tana was coming over. They filmes a YouTube video and had me fly a drone in the beginning. Kaylyn went out to meet some friend, so Elle and I decided to go shopping. We were walking through the mall when two guys came to us.

"Hey, ladies..." They tried to flirt.

"Um... Not interested," Elle and I tried to get past them, but they stopped us.

"How 'bout your number, sweetheart?" One asked me and was gripping my wrist. My phone thankfully rang and I answered.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hey," Tayler said.

"Oh, hey, babe."

"Some creepy guy talking to you?" Tayler understood.

"Yeah. I'd love to come over."

"Saw you'll meet me in a couple minutes."

"Yeah. I'm at the mall with Elle right now. But I'll be over in a few minutes."

"And we can go out tonight."

"Oh, my God! Date night sounds great. Okay, I'll hurry," I smiled and the guy stole the phone from me, putting it on speaker.

"Who is this?" He asked.

"Um... Who are you?" Tayler asked.

"The guy about to make her my girl."

"Nope. She's mine so she's taken."

"I'll fight you for her."

"What experience d you have?"

"School fights."

"I box, I did jujitsu, I wrestle..."

"She's yours," the guy gave my phone back and walked off with his friend, leaving Elle and me.

"Thanks, Tay," I took him off speaker.

"No problem. I guess I called at the right time," Tayler laughed.

"So why were you calling?"

"TeaTok came out and I heard about the Patrick thing. Just don't listen to him. He doesn't mean anything he says. I can talk to him if you want."

"It's fine, Tayler. If he wants to say something, then he can come to me."

"It's your choice. I'll talk to you later."

"Yeah." Tayler hung up just as I got a text from a random number.

random person: I'll meet you at the ally next to McDonalds in 5 minutes.
