Patricia Smith: I hate you

Hunter Reyes : Lol, we'll see how long that hate will last.

I waited all day for Mac's text but he never did. Mom tried to make conversation with me at dinner. She never even cooked, all we had was takeaway and tonight we were having pizza.

"You seem upset," Mom said taking a bite off her pizza slice.

I shrugged with a mouthful of pizza. Why did she think i was even going to tell her about anything?

"Is it a boy?" She grinned and grabbed another slice from the pizza box.

"No mother," I rolled my eyes. "It's actually you!"

Mom's face look stunned and she blinked twice trying to digest what I had said. "What do you mean by that?"

I banged my fist on the table as tears burned in my eyes. "After dad died you have only cared about yourself! Did you for once think I needed you?"

"Patricia I.." she stammered reaching her hand out to me.

"No!" Tears were streaming down my face. "You abandoned me Mom!"

"Oh sweetheart," she cried. "I never meant to."

"Well we all don't mean to do a lot of things mom," I sniffled and without another word I stomped up the stairs to my room. Burying my head in my pillow, it was time for my weekly night sobs.

I missed Dad so much and nobody couldn't replace that void inside of me.

Bing! My phone beeped and I quickly grabbed it hoping it was Mackenzie and to my utmost joy, it was.

Can i call? x

That little 'x' at the end, made my heart skip a beat. It had been like what, 12 hours? And I was hopelessly crushing on him.

I replied with a yes, and a few seconds later my phone started ringing. For a minute, I felt nervous to talk to him on the phone. Hopefully I wouldn't say something stupid and make him change his mind.

Taking a deep breath, I answered my phone. "Hello?"

"Hey Patty," his voice sounded so sexy on the phone and if he was in front of me right now I would have kissed him, well maybe. "How are you?"

"I am good," my voice sounded shaky from being too shy.

"I am sorry i didn't call earlier," I heard him sigh. "Was just a little busy."

"Its okay!" I answered quickly clutching my phone tight in my hand. "Its not like i was waiting for your call or anything."

He laughed. "How cute. You were waiting for my call?"

"Pffft no."

"Are you sure?" I could sense the amusement in his voice, and i bit my lip smiling to myself. "Cause I thought it was pretty cool that you were expecting for me to call you."

"Maybe," I couldn't help but chuckle.

"So Patty," I loved the way my name sounded in his voice. If he kept saying my name repeatedly, a million times, I would never get tired of it. "Tell me something about you that nobody knows."

"I get offended really easily," I blurted out.

"Really?" He sounded worried. "Why is that?"

I shrugged and then felt stupid for not realizing that he couldn't see me. "I don't know. Just cause of my insecurities I guess."

"You have nothing to be insecure about. You don't have to be like every other girl wanting to be perfect. Flaws are what makes a person beautiful."

If this guy had asked me to undress, I would have. In my dreams though. "Now you're exaggerating. Tell me something about you that nobody knows."

"I think Emma Watson is over rated," he laughed.

"What the shit? You're kidding!"

"I am not. She's not that hot."

"You're clearly blind," I shot at him.

"Am i? If I was, I wouldn't have kissed you," I could feel him grinning on the other end.

"That doesn't even make any sense," i let out a scoff.

"Really patty? Really?" and he was laughing. My heart throbbed aggressively against my ribs. He had the most beautiful laugh a man could possess.

"You'll be coming to school tomorrow?"

"Yup. Show me around?"

I smiled. "Ofcourse."
