Am I more than you Bargained for Yet? [Patrick Stump] 1

Patrick's P.O.V.

Eva is a great girl. Even thought she doesn't speak. You can tell she's sincere because her eyes show it. She once wrote a note to me during our daily note passing conversations that she hates her eyes the most because she can never hide her true emotions. Who can hate eyes like those? I wrote back telling her that I thought her eyes were amazing, and she smiled and wrote

You really think so? Thanks a bunch. That means alot to me.

She gets along with the guys just fine, too. We all love her. She's so smart, cheerful, atheltic... She's perfect.

I also learned alot about her. She was moved to an orphanage when she was 9 because her parents weren't capable of taking care of her. She finally moved out, got a job at Starbucks (She just makes the drink.. Doesn't take orders) and lives with her 3 friends, Amber, Haley, and Tanna. Haha.. Pete has this thing for Tanna. He always flirts with her, not that she flirts back. But he still tries. We're all friends though. The 8 of us are inseperable..

Sometimes I wonder what she could be thinking. She seems even more timid then she is at break time, when I just do must of the talking. She just nods or shrugs or whatever. But I know she's really interested in what I'm saying. Yeah.. she's a great listener.. no pun intended.

But besides Eva being in my mind 24/7, Hannah has been bugging me. Big time.

"Patrick! Whose that girl you've been hanging around with? Why don't you introduce her to me sometimes?"

"She's Eva, she got here a week ago. I don't think you'll like her 'cause she's not much of a talker.."

Truth is, I'm afraid Hannah might do something to hurt Eva. She seems so fragile and delicate..

"No way! I love meeting new people. Promise to introduce me after school on Friday??"

"Fine.."

"Okay! Later Patrick!!"

She used to totally ignore me.. What's up with her now? I didn't have anymore time to think because Eva came. As usual, she was drop dead gorgeous. She gave me a big smile as a greeting.

"Hey Eva! Did you sleep well last night?"

She nodded and smiled more in reply.

"Well.. I had trouble on my dumb history homework.. gahh.. I barely got any sleep.."

Her eyes then changed from happiness, to a look of concern for me.

"No! I'm fine. Just saying I couldn't sleep well. No need to worry. I'll live. Oh, and.. this acquaintence of mine.. Her name is Hannah.. She says she wants to meet you after school.. On Friday.. Is that okay with you?"

She seemed curious. But she nodded.

"Okay then. I'll instroduce you to her I guess"

She nodded and we went on to our first period class.

*Fast Forward - Friday, after school-*

Eva and I were waiting in the parking lot after school. Dammit. Hannah was always late when we were friends. But now its really annoying. After about 30 minutes of waiting, she finally arrived.

"Hey Patrick! Oh, I guess this is Eva/"

"Uh.. Yeah.. Eva this is Hannah, Hannah this is Eva.."

"Oh!! You're that mute girl aren't you?"

Damn! What the hell?!

"Hannah, can't you be a bit more considerate..?" I asked with a sharp edge to my voice.

"Whaaat? She is the mute girl. Now Eva, why won't you talk? Did you get beaten up as a kid? Did you--"

"Hannah!" I interrupted sharply. "If this is what you meant my 'meeting new friends' then forget it. Eva let's go."

Her eyes were empty. Like she was remembering something from her past. I can't quite describe it. But I didn't like it.

"Eva.. I'm sorry about Hannah. She never was this rude before.."

She looked up sharply and shook her head.

"No really.. I should've known it would've been like this.."

Eva just smiled, shook her head again, and hugged me.

At first, I was shocked. Eva was hugging me?! Then I realized that she was actually hugging me and I slowly hugged her back. It was nice.. I was really relunctant to pull away, but I still did, nonetheless. She's so nice to hug.. heh..

The walk home was silent. When we got there, Pete, Joe, and Andy were inside, so I decided to hang around a bit more.

"Hey Eva! Hey Patrick!" Pete cheerfully greeted.
"Hey" Joe and Andy said in unision

Amber and Haley were in the kitchen making brownies.. Tanna.. she was sleeping.

"Hey guys!!" Amber and Haley called through the kitchen.

Eva just waved and I said hi.

"uhh.. Why is Tanna sleeping?"
"She got here first," Haley explained, "She was all alone so I guess she got bored and decided to sleep."
"Let's wake her up!" Pete suggested
"Uhh.. I wouldn't do that.." Amber warned
"Ohh.. c'mon what's the worse that can happen?"
"uh.."
"whatever, I'm waking her up."

He got a bottle of water and just splashed it all over Tanna. She woke up screaming and shouted, "PETE LEWIS KINGSTON WENTZ III YOU ARE A DEAD MAN!!!!"

She started chasing him and everything it was hilarious. Somehow, Pete got chased into the kitchen, Tanna grabbed the uncooked brownies from the oven and threw everything at Pete. Yeah.. It was fun. We finally decided to just sleep over.

"Let's just all sleep in the living room." Joe suggested.
Noone had objections so the girls go blankets and pillows and set everything up.

"So.. who wants the couch?" Amber asked.
"Ooohh! Me!!" Joe said.
"No way man. I deserve the couch." Pete objected
While they were arguing, Andy calmly walked over to the couch, layed down and proceeded to sleep.

"....."

"What the hell?! Joe this is all your fault!"
"My fault? Pete, I claimed it first, but you had to be your little diva self and grab dibs on the couch."
"Uhh what? If anyone's the diva, its obviously you.."

And it went on and on and on and on and on.. For 30 minutes actually. But we finally got them to shut up.

I dunno, but Amber seemed dissapointed that Andy got the couch. Ohh well. It must be just me.. Well anyways, I ended up sleeping next to Eva. Though I was actually really thankful. At around 2, I was the only one awake. I turned to my side and watched Eva sleep. Even when she's sleeping, every bit of her face is still perfect. Her lips were parted just slightly, and her brown hair covered her face a bit. I moved her hair away from her face, and tucked it behind her ear. She stirred just a bit but didn't wake up. I finally fell asleep watching Eva..
