Imagine #74: Poisoned Youth (Part 7)

"Hey" you suddenly got back to your senses when Patrick's voice finally reached you. You also realized that he had been tapping on your shoulder for a while now. "Are you okay, Y/N?" he asked with a worried tone. You pushed yourself to smile at him and nod your head.

"Yeah, of course." You somehow lied, you've been thinking since the moment Patrick woke up how did this happen – him still remembering you and also the question in your head if the love potion is still at work. You know you can't just go and ask him, 'Hey Patrick, ya still feeling the love potion in your system?'

You silently sighed and continued to pack his things inside his bag. He was going to check out from the hospital finally because the moment he woke up, he's perfectly fine and dandy.

"Good to see you on your feet again, Mr. Stump." The doctor came inside and Patrick just smiled at him. "Well, whatever happened to you is indeed some miracle. In the first place we had no idea how you got into a coma and then we don't know how you got out from that state too." He said, you can see the confusion and amazement on the doctors eyes too.

"Same here, doc. But really, I'm not feeling anything right now, I mean, anything bad at least." Patrick told him.

"That's good to hear, but we're still observing you to find out what really happen and I hope for the meantime you won't be spending your time alone. You need a companion to always look after you in case such things happen again, but we really hope not." The doctor said and Patrick chuckled lowly.

"I hope so too, but don't worry, I have Y/N here to be with me all of the time. She's my...p—

You suddenly stopped moving and looked at Patrick in shock, a sudden mixture of excitement and sadness ignited in you as you were expecting him to say 'personal assistant'. You knew that if he said that...the potion stopped working, Patrick now just looks at you as his PA once more.

"She's my partner...afterall." Patrick said with an innocent smile then gazed over you.

You couldn't do anything just to giggle and smiled at him. You hated that some part of you was relieved that he didn't you his PA, but you're disappointed too because now you know he's still under the potion.

"Yeah, just leave to me..." you told him.

"So yeah, be careful on your way home, Mr. Stump. And take care of yourself too." The doctor said before leaving.

"Thanks, doc." Patrick said. "Hey, Y/N, you heard the doctor right? Um, you're welcome to stay at my house for the meantime, well, if it's okay for you?" Patrick asked and you just blushed at the thought.

"Um...o-okay, just for the mean time okay? And I got to have my own room." You said with a smile and Patrick laughed at you.

"Of course! Silly, I'm not going to do things to you so you don't have to worry. I just...I just feel like I always need you beside me." Patrick said and on the last part, his voice suddenly became serious and sincere.

You looked over to him as you feel your face burning up. Patrick just smiled at you innocently then pinched your cheeks gently.

"Let's go?" he asked.

"Y-yeah." You pushed yourself to murmur.

--------------

'Yeah, great work, Y/N. This is good, what you're doing is SO good! Yeah, that's right, live under one roof with the guy who's definitely under a love potion towards you. YEAH! Good idea!' you murmured to yourself the moment you got alone inside the room that Patrick gave you.

You were frustrated and confused too, you had no idea how on earth did you agree to this, but you're here now and you can't just go away, besides its Patrick's request too. You sighed then just fell on your back on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

'Just how did that potion worked differently...that lady told me that the effect of the love potion will be gone...but still, here's Patrick...in love with me and perfectly remembers me. Just how come?' you asked yourself.

You just decided to relax for a while and you didn't notice that you've already fallen asleep.

--------------

You suddenly woke up with a start. You woke up because you've been leaning on your right arm for a while that it started to hurt you. You sleepily stand and decided to check on Patrick if the guy is alright.

You silently opened your door and walk towards Patrick's room but suddenly your attention was caught by the sound of an opening door downstairs. You decided to check there and in shock you saw Patrick opening the door and revealing Courtney outside.

"Courtney? What on earth are you doing in here?!" Patrick already sounded angry while looking at Courtney.

"Please, Patrick. I just need to talk to you!" Courtney said and its clear that she's acting pitiful there. You saw Patrick sighed and you couldn't believe that he let her in. You just decided to hid by the stairs and watch them.

"What is it?" Patrick asked.

"I heard what happened to you and I was worried, I thought you were still in the --

"Well, I'm not...I'm okay now." Patrick cut her off. Patrick ia really angry with her now.

"Come on, Patrick. You're still angry with me?" She asked.

"You fucking cheated on me, Courtney. Do you expect me to just forgive you like that?" He told him and you thought Courtney will be pissed but all she did was to laugh at him.

"At least I'm not like your personal assistant that desperately wants you that she even made you drink a love potion." She said that almost made you fall off the stairs.

"Excuse me?!" Patrick asked in shock.

"Don't tell me you still don't know? Um, well I can never blame you, tje potion already affected you for sure." She added. "I heard her one time, Y/N, she was talking to herself while holding a liquid of some sort. And then I saw her...I saw her made you drink that!" Courtney said and Patrick just stared at her in silence.

"I don't believe you." Patrick said seriously.

"Look!" Courtney gave her phone to Patrick and you knew it was the time that you made Patrick drink the supposed to be antidote for love potion.

Courtney fooled you...you were the one who gave Patrick that potion but you never knew it was a love potion.

"You! You made me do it! I...I never thought." You finally spoke and they were both shocked to see you in there.

"Oh my gosh, you already let her inside your house, Patrick?!" Courtney continued playing in there

"Don't listen to her, Patrick. She foold me, she wad the one who gave you the love potion and I...that was the antidote she gave me but I was too late, but...I don't...she manipulated me in making you drink it. Please, believe me."

Patrick was already confused in there and he's also looking at me in disbelief.

"Patrick, I'll never do that to you!" You said sincerely but he remained silent.

"I don'y blame you if you don't believe me, Patrick. Besides, as I have said you might already have fallen into the spell and she's all perfect in your eyes now --

"Shut up, you fucking witch! This was all your fault! All I did was tell on you and you're ruining my life already!" You shouted at her.

"S-stop! Y/N, w-what wad the liquid that you made me drink on this video?" He suddenly asked and you couldn't believe he"s doubting you.

You're really confused right now, Courtney is right. Patrick shouldn't doubt you, he's under the spell of a love potion with you...he SHOULD and always should be on your side...but now, that's not the case.

"Patrick, I told you! She gave that to me and she said to make you drink it, she said she already gave you a love potion and that liquid I made you drink was the antidote. Heck, I even tasted it before giving it to you!" You explained desperately.

"W-where's your evidence? H-how do you expect me to believe you?" Patrick murmured silently that really crushed you.

You saw a glimpse of Courtney's fiendish smile while Patrick doubted you there.

"Patrick...I swear I've done everything to get the effect of love potion out of you! It was her fault and I can't believe you're believing someone that once fooled the hell out of you instead of me that always been loyal to you." You said as you felt a tear roll from your eyes.

"Honey, using magic to get love oa never a good idea." Courtney said and with that you slapped her too hard om the cheeks that it almost made her face flew off.

"This was all you, you fucking witch and I swear I'll prove it." You threatened her.

You began to walk away but then auddenly you felt someone holding your arm to stop you.

"Y/N...I...I'm sor--

"You're not...all these...all your feelings for me is just a fucking lie, Patrick. It was all made by that fucking love potion that I NEVER and NEVER WILL give you." You said while looking at him "On the first place why the fuck would I do that? That would just be a living torture for me, knowing that the guy I love just loves me back because of some kind of fucking potion."
