"Hmmm" Patrick groan as he wakes up. He sits up on his bed and looked at his side and didn't see his lovely partner by his side. He wonders were she was until a delightful smell hit his delicate nose. He stood up from his bed and followed the delightful smell and he ended up in the kitchen to see his wonderful partner, making breakfast.   
     He snuck up behind her and wrapped his hands around her slim waist making her chuckle "Patrick dear, if you're gonna do that,make sure you tell me first or you'll end up giving me an heart attack" His wife said with her arms wrapped around his neck "Morning Claire bear" Patrick said and he kissed her. They stayed like that, kissing, until "Ewww gross" a little voice said and the two partners looked at the direction of the voice to see a little boy of five, with blond hair and black eyes. "Haha good morning little man" Patrick said and pecked the boy and lift him up "Harry how was your night" Claire asked kissing the boy on his forehead "Fine mama"  Harry replied smiling "Of course he slept well" Patrick said and he started tickling his Harry making Harry squirm and laugh "Papa stop" Harry said between laughter "Patrick stop it" Claire said trying to stop Patrick which she did. Patrick pulled his family in a hug and said "I love you guys" "We love you too Patrick/ papa" Claire and Harry said smiling "But papa" Harry said "Yes Harry?" Harry opened his mouth, for words to come out but the sound the came out was an alarm clock ringing "What?" Patrick looked at his son and Harry opened his mouth and the alarm clock ringing came out louder, making him close his ears with his hands "what the.."

      Patrick opened his eyes and closed it back and groaned as he stretched his arm and turn off the alarm clock. He groan again as he sat up. He use his palms to clean his eyes. Through that process of cleaning his eyes, he remembers his dream and he stopped.    "WHAT?!!!" He shouted making everyone in the house to wake up and sprint to his room "What's going on?" Gerald asked as him and the whole family barge into his room to see Patrick lying on his back looking at the ceiling "Huh?" They all thought with numerous questions mark on their heads. "Patrick dear" Lisa said steeping forward, only to be stopped  when Patrick looked at her with teary eyes. Lisa took a huge step backwards and asked "Why is he crying" Lisa asked her family and they all shrug "You're his mother, ask him" Gerald said and pushed Lisa towards Patrick. Like way over to where he was.

    Lisa sighed and sat on the bed "Patrick dear, what's wrong?" she asked touching his hand. Patrick looked up to Lisa and his tears worsen  as he sat up and hug Lisa which surprised her but she regained her self and hug back, rubbing circles on his back, trying to calm him down.
    After some time, Patrick calmed down and he removed him self from his mother and turn his face away from her to hide his blush "Sorry about that" Patrick said and Lisa giggled "No problem. I'm your mother after all" Lisa said with a grin on her face. "You mind telling us why you were crying like a baby" Gerald said and Patrick turned around to see Tory sitting in his desk, Gerald sitting on one of the chairs and his father on the other.

    "It's nothing" Patrick said making everyone roll their eyes "You suck at lying" Tory voiced everyone thoughts  and Patrick blushed at being caught "So you gonna tell us what's bothering you or do you want to keep it to yourself" Gerald asked and Patrick sighed "I love Claire" Patrick blunted out and everyone in the room eyes widen "They must think am a horrible person" Patrick thought sadly (AN: Patrick if they thought you was a horrible person, then why would they be telling you that you love her? God!!  Could you be anymore dense?) Until he heard "Finally" they all said with a sigh and Patrick looked at them one by one "What?" Patrick stuttered "Big brother was that the reason you were crying?  Cause you found out that you're in love with Claire?" Tory asked and Patrick nodded making everyone to sweat drop and fall down in disbelief. They stood up and shouted in Patrick face "Could you be anymore dense?" making Patrick to look at them with fear "Patrick" Lisa said with a sigh "Why were you crying when you figured out that you were in love with her?" Lisa asked "I don't want to destroy our friendship" Patrick said and he continued when he saw no one making a comment at his words "We've being best friends since when we was little and I don't want to destroy that bond. I've seen situation where a girl and a boy are best friends and then one day the boy confesses to the girl and the girl would say no to him and the boy would feel uncomfortable around the girl because he confessed his feelings. I don't want something like that to happen between me.. " 'If that's the. case, then don't tell her you love her" Gerald cut in "What?" Patrick asked "You heard me.  And how are you so sure that she doesn't love you back" Gerald asked "I.. I d. don't  know" Patrick stuttered "You aren't sure then why don't you try telling heels but since you gave a very good example, I'm not sure you're gonna do it" Gerald said and Patrick nodded.

   "She loves you" Peter said and everyone turned to look at him "Huh?" Patrick said "You heard me. She loves you. And I'm not gonna tell you how I know but you just gonna man up and tell her you love her and prepare for the worst" Peter said.

    "Guess I have to so this" Patrick said as he stood at the door of Claire cell sweating bullets. "Okay. Here we go" Patrick said and turned the lock and opened the door only to see Claire lying in the pool of her own blood. Patrick stared at Claire not wanting to believe what he's seeing. So he closed his eyes and opened them only to see Claire in the same position. His heart beat faster as Claire name came out of his mouth as a stutter "O my God. Claire" he said between tears with Claire on his arms. He looked at her body and saw that her laps, wrist and shoulder were bleeding violently and she looked pale due to lost of blood. He picked up Claire and ran out of the cell accidentally kicking the keys to all the cell door of that section of the asylum, to the cell of the Claire's nightmare. The man looked at the direction of the noise and saw that it was keys. He smiled and picked it up "Interesting" he said and began laughing like maniac waking the rest of the inmates.

        After they had treated Claire's wounds, Patrick sat on a chair close to her while looking at her face. "She looks hurt and scared" he thought looking at Claire's face. "Hmm" he heard her groan and he stood up from the chair looked at her eyes
He saw that her eyes opened and she stared at him for a while until she broke in tears "PATRICK" she shouted and pulled Patrick towards herself "Patrick Patrick" she said his name countless times as she cry her heart out "I don't mean to be a sadist but hearing her cry my name out like this is quite enjoyable" he thought.

    (Flashback to what happen to Claire)
       Claire, after Patrick had left her that day, she had been dreaming of him lately. Patrick that is. That they be married and have kids (AN: Guess Patrick's not the only one having those dream ~). She would blush and hum happily at her thoughts. She was so happy that she forgot about the existence of  the person who made her miserable. That as soon as she heard the mans voice, she immediately tensed and use her hand to cover ears "That voice" Claire said with fearful eyes "Little girl, it seems that you've forgotten me" the man said and laughed a little before he continued speaking "Then I'd like to remind you of me" the man said "Don't you remember me?  The man who killed your father, your mother" "NO STOP IT" Claire shouted holding the small bars of her door "How I stabbed your big brother in the heart, over and over and over again" the man said and Claire screamed using her body to hit the door "And don't you remember the special moment we shared" when Claire heard this, she stopped moving and stood still looking at the floor "How I spread your legs open" Immediately the man said those words, Claire started screaming again "No NO" she shouted as the man spoke of how he abused her.

   Claire scratched her body wanting to get that disgusting feeling of the man holding her and abusing her, away from. She looked at the floor and saw a sharp object on the floor and she quickly rushed over to it and picked it up. Desperately wanting to get that feeling off, she use the sharp object to cut her lap deep making her scream in delight and pain. She cut her shoulders, remembering that that's the place that man held her still and she also cut her wrists. Feeling weaken, she dropped to the floor "And that your friend that always come here all the time, that boy.  I'm going to kill him too" the man said "Please no. Not Patrick" she whispered and then she passed out.
         
      (Flash back end.)
 
   "And that's what happen" Claire said between sob. She sat on Patrick laps clenching his shirt as she told him what happened to her. She noticed that Patrick was quiet, so she looked up to him and saw that his eyes held rage and anger. She got scared looking at his eyes that she clenched his shirt tighter "Patrick" she said snapping Patrick from his anger state. He sighed "What is it Claire?" "I'm sorry I didn't tell you what was going on" "Don't apologize Claire.  And besides you have nothing to be sorry for. That guy's the one whose gonna be sorry for hurting the person I love" Patrick said hugging Claire to his chest "Did I just hear him right? He just said the person he loves.  No, maybe he just meant it as a best friend" she thought and sighed sadly as she sat on his lap comfortably, enjoying his aura. "You know Claire" Patrick said turning Claire so that they would be face to face. Meaning that Claire was sitting on his lap with her legs at his sides "You don't have to get scared whenever that man talks to you or whenever you hear his voice. All you just have to do" Patrick said getting closer to Claire Left ear making her blush "Is just" Patrick whispered softly "Remember that am always with you" Patrick said and Claire eyes widen. Patrick rested his head on her shoulder hugging her like a life jacket "I'll always protect you, no matter what. I'll always be by your side. Because.. because.. "
  The door opened, making Patrick stopped at his sentence and looked at the door to see Samuel standing there looking at them with widen eyes and then he flipped "What do you think you're doing?" Samuel shouted and Patrick carried Claire from his lap and on to the bed "Nothing. I swear" Patrick said "Lier!!!" Samuel shouted and kicked Patrick making Patrick back to hit the ceiling and fall on the floor with a thud. Patrick body twitched in pain and as he look up, he saw Samuel looking at him with a dark aura surrounding him "I'm gonna die" Patrick thought with anime tears running down his cheeks.  "You don't touch a lady like that" Samuel said stumping Patrick over and over and over again.

   "Because what?" Claire thought looking at Samuel beating up Patrick. She closed her eyes and Patrick face with a smile appeared "Because I love you" and she opened her eyes.
