Hey guys! Oh my gosh I can't believe I'm starting this again. Sorry if this my grammar and stuff aren't so good, or if anything seems too rushed, I haven't written anything story-like since I stopped this so it may be a bit weird. Oh and sorry if either Patch or Nora seem out of character, I re-read it a few months ago so some stuff might be slipping. Thank you to anyone that has reviewed, followed, or favourited! Love you all to the moon and beyond(: enjoy(:

The moment Patch left, my whole body felt drained of energy. I stumbled up the stairs not even bothering to turn off the lights. As soon as I got in my room, I immediately dropped onto my bed, out cold

Waking up the next day was horrible. Last night, because I was so paranoid, I got these weird nightmare-ish dreams that left me gasping for breath and my heart pounding in my chest. I didn't want to fall asleep after that, but my body was just too tired and I succumbed to the darkness, only to be later woken up with another nightmare.

This kept on happening throughout the night and I was never able to properly fall asleep, and the more I thought about the dreams, the less I remembered.

Forcefully swinging my legs off the bed, I sleepily shuffled to the bathroom to get ready for another day of school. There was nothing wrong with going to school for me, it was more about who was at school the reason I dreaded going.

Trying not to dwell on what would happen if this said person was as bad as I used to think, I hopped into the kitchen and grabbed an apple, munching on it, I realized that I'd have to drive myself to school because Vee was still in the hospital. Thank goodness she let me borrow her car, or else I would've had to walk all those miles.

Getting up, I threw the core in the trash and picked up the keys and my bag. When I got to her car, I jumped about 20 feet in the air when a loud horn honked from behind me. I turned and saw a huge black Jeep stopped just outside my driveway. The driver-side door opened.

"Angel."

Patch leaned against the side of his car.

"Need a lift?" he quirked an eyebrow, waiting for me to answer.

I just stood there and blinked, not quite sure what I was supposed to say.

"C'mon Angel, I don't leave you that breathless do I?" he had the audacity to wink at me.

I gaped at him for a bit with my mouth opening and closing like a fish before I had the strength to stutter out, "W-what are you doing h-here?"

"What does it look like Angel; I'm here to drive you to school." He said like it was the most common thing in the world. He said it like he wasn't just here last night, listening to me poor my heart out about my biggest and most terrifying secret.

I didn't know whether to go with him or not, whether to trust this condescending bastard that turned out to be not that condescendingly bastardly after all.

"Trust me sweetheart I won't bite that hard. Well not today at least." I didn't even need to look to see that he was smirking.

"Why though?" I asked suspicious. "As far as I know no one ever asked you least of all me. And now that you know what's been well, happening to me, isn't that just weird coming to pick me up the day after I tell you?"

"Not really." He replied tossing his keys in the air, catching them, and repeating.

"I mean I wanted to. There's never really better reason than that is there? And I wanted to check up on you, see if you were uhm, okay." He scratched the back of his neck, not meeting my eyes when saying that part. Was he… nervous? He suddenly looked up and his piercing gaze locked onto mine and his usual smirk returned.

"So how about it Angel? You going to ride with me?" I didn't know if there was a double meaning behind his words but knowing him, there probably was.

I looked at him. Then back at Vee's car. Then back at him again. He was still smiling that good-for-nothing smile, and as anyone probably could have guessed by now, I started walking towards him.

God guys sorry if it's too short. I'll try and see if I can update once a week(: R&R please!
