btw only a few of the guys in this book are actually irish

• joe is irish.
• pete is from england, but he's been in ireland for about six years, so he's picked up a bit of a mixed accent.
• gerard & mikey are russian, but they've also picked a little bit of an irish accent up.
• alex gaskarth is irish.
• jack barakat is from germany, but he also has a mix of accents.
• gabe saporta is mexican, but he sounds irish except for when he speaks spanish.

(sorry if that's confusing)

everyone else is from america

Anna and Patrick break up. She's more upset than he is. He just tells her some bullshit about it not being her, it's him.

He gets slapped, but fuck, he deserved it. Joe witnesses the whole thing and laughs after Anna walks off.

"Lemme guess," He says, "you wanted her for sex, but she didn't give it to you,"

Patrick shakes his head. "Actually, I like someone else. It wasn't her fault,"

Joe leans in, his accent thicker than usual, "I want details,"

"N-No way," Patrick says, stumbling over his words.

"It's a guy, isn't it?" Joe asks, smiling wildly at Patrick. Patrick gulps before shaking his head.

"No," He croaks out. Joe smirks at him.

"Who's the lucky guy?" Joe smiles, lighting a cigarette. Patrick huffs out a breath.

"Pete," He mumbles through gritted teeth. Joe almost drops his cigarette.

"You're fucking joking!" He yells, smiling widely. "I can't believe it! I called it," Joe exclaims.

"You can't tell him. There's no way he wants to date me when he just got out of a bad relationship," Patrick tells himself more than Joe. Joe shakes his head.

"I call bullshit," He says simply. "It's been a month, and Pete is getting better,"

"I don't know.." Patrick says. Joe shakes his head.

"Nonsense, Stump. I've got you," Joe says as he takes a drag. "I've got you," He repeats and then blows the smoke out of his nose.

"Jesus, I'm putting my future into the hands of a stoner," Patrick mumbles to himself, and Joe laughs.

Fifteen minutes later, Joe says Pete is going to be at his dorm in an hour to come pick the two of them up. They're taking advantage of it being a Saturday night. Luckily, if a student is over sixteen, he is allowed off-campus as long as he has a 'buddy' with him.

"Pete doesn't know it yet, but you're going to surprise him at the movie theatre with roses. I'm going to fake sick, so it'll just be you two," Joe explains. Patrick groans.

"This is the worst idea I've ever fucking heard," He says, banging his head against Joe's door.

"I'm a genius, Stump," Joe says. There's a knock on the door, and Patrick scrambles to fix his hair. Joe's laugh stops him. "Cool it, dude. It's Hurley,"

Sure enough, when Joe opens the door, his boyfriend pecks his lips and presents Patrick with a bouquet of roses. When Patrick sends him a questioning look, Andy says, "I've got my people, you've got yours. 'Sides, I'm positive Gaskarth has a crush on me,"

Joe straightens up, crossing his arms across his chest. "You're mine," He says, grabbing Andy and pulling him in for a hug. Andy rolls his eyes.

"I know, I know," He says and kisses Joe's cheek. "I'm yours forever,"

"Damn straight," Joe says, a wide smile on his face. Patrick snaps his fingers in between them to get their attention.

"Break it up, sluts. I need someone to help me with this mess," Patrick says, pointing at the golden heap of hair on top of his head. Andy grins.

"It's my specialty," And he fixes Patrick's hair in seconds, styling it up to where you can see his forehead.

"You look hot," Joe says, shrugging at Patrick's blush. Andy stands back to admire his work.

"I wish I could disagree," He says, shaking his head. Patrick blushes redder than before.

Just on time, Pete knocks on the door. Andy opens it. "Let's go, motherfuckers," Pete says.

Patrick almost faints. Pete's hair isn't pink anymore. It's blonde with little dark roots near his scalp.

"I missed you, barbie," Andy says, ruffling Pete's hair. Pete rolls his eyes.

"Fuck you, And," He says, walking over to the mirror to fix his hair. "Looking good tonight, Stumpy," Pete says, patting Patrick's cheek. Patrick blushes again.

"Alright, let's go," Pete says, bouncing on his heels. Joe coughs for the fifth time since Pete's entered the room. He adds a pretty believing groan at the end.

"Sorry, sorry," He says in a raspy voice, coughing again. "Lemme get-" He stops his sentence short to cough again.

"Oh, baby," Andy says, pressing the back of his hand to his boyfriend's forehead. "You can't go out like this. You're burning up,"

"Please," Joe pouts, "Pete and Patrick really wanted to see that movie," Pete makes a noise to get everyone's attention.

"No, man, it's totally fine. Me and Stump can go on our own," He slings an arm around Patrick's next, the latter getting a secret wink shot at him by the couple occupying the room.

They walk out the door, and Patrick almost forgets the roses. Right as Pete says, "I'm kinda glad I'm living the single life, you know? No one to constantly please. You feel, right? You and Agony just broke up, yeah?" Pete asks.

Patrick swallows, suddenly glad he left the roses. "Uh, yeah," He mumbles. "I broke it off with her about a week ago,"

"Single life is fun," Pete repeats. "I love it," He sighs, letting go of Patrick. The rest of the walk is silent.

fuck did I just friendzone patrick through pete or ??

I really hope not cause we need to get the peterick going in this.

no more patrickxanna or petexmikey so yay they're both single.
