Chapter 16: Me vs The Family.

“ I thought you're a good person, I respected you, I wanted to be your friend, but no, just like other humans out there, y'all are the same, betrayers....”
She spat at the floor, near my feets, showing how she despise me. I wouldn't say I don't know what brought about this, but all I can say is that she has just misunderstood the incident. Angela was never a problem until now, not that I intentionally did anything towards her, but instead, her husband, her husband was the one who committed himself, he was holding me, grabbing my wrist so tight when I did nothing wrong, we had collided and his bowl of water falling down and splashing on the floor, I apologized, but he didn't seem to care, who then told her that I was the one who brought upon misery for Fred?.
“ That's not my doing Angela, whoever told you that was lying against me.....”
I said, eyes staring at Blake's direction, even though I don't know whether she was the one or Fred himself. With Fred's stoic features, he doesn't seem like the one who would tell Angela that, even though he's possibly the prime suspect if I am to point, but Blake, Blake is like a snitch, a smoke that doesn't want to lit a fire, just irritating the eyes.
“ Who lied against you dear?.....”
Mrs Jennifer was already there with us, I thought she was taking Mr Collins back in, how come she's here again?. She was staring at the both of us, Angela looking away, not trying to meet her eyes, but I never did, I was fighting for myself, I can't just stay silent when I'm being stabbed in the back.
“ I don't know where Angela got the information from, but she's accusing me of causing her husband harm, that I was the one who brought misery upon her husband.....”
I had to tell her. In this battle, you shouldn't care or show pity, it's either to kill or be killed, that's the situation here, and seeing that I am now the sole target for many here, I believe it's about time I start by having my own back, rather than trying to become a friend that's not needed.
“ I guess it's not Freddy boy?....”
Mrs Jennifer asked Angela, looking at Fred's direction. Angela replied no, even if it was him, she definitely shouldn't say, should she?. Mrs Jennifer just nodded her head, before turning back to look at me. “ I possibly don't know much about you dear, you're still coming in as the new member of this family, so to make it clear, I'll let this one slide, but never you again accuse any of the Patricks of lying, or else, you'll have to pay with your tongue..... Just to make it clearer to you, the Patrick's are righteous people, we don't lie, so be careful with the words you say, to avoid getting yourself in danger..... That's all, and before I forget, you should get ready, the wedding will proceed in an hour time, good luck.....”
She walks out. The wedding?, An hour time?, I turned around to look Liam's way, he looks away, looking down like he did realized that he just messed up. Without trying to be rude so that I wouldn't get myself breaking a rule I don't know about, I gently walk away from the premises, hoping that Liam doesn't call out to me, because I wasn't going to answer, not minding whatever their punishment for disobeying a Patrick would be, fucking weirdos.
Stepping inside the room and was about closing the door behind me, I can feel Liam holding the door open, I can never match strength with him, so I let it go, rushing in towards the inner room to close it before he gets to me again, but before I could as well close the door, he has already gotten to me, showing that he as well ran after me without raising any alarm, he held the door open, not pushing with force, but holding them in place so as to not hurt me with the force.
The wound I have caused myself this morning started to bleed again, I might've hurt myself running in here, tears was flowing down from my eyes, can't believe what I've gotten myself in.
Wedding?, What does she mean by wedding?, No one told me that there's going to be any wedding, Liam told me nothing, when Mrs Jennifer had said that about wedding, I wanted to ask, I wanted to argue and show how confused I was about this, but you know, that would be calling my fiance a liar, we aren't allowed to call a true Patrick a liar right?.
I was willing to do so even though, but the problem is, they don't punish a Patrick, instead, they punish anyone closest to him or her, and to Liam, that would also be me, more like reporting myself to be punished, what's all that despicable nonsense?. I was rendered speechless, I've been deceived, deceived by the Man I love. I was always ready to get married to him at any time, he's the man of my dream, but unlike before, he doesn't lie to me this way, he's always telling me the truth, he's always telling me facts, but that has all changed since we got here.
I've gotten into so much troubles today, I have happened to be the catalyst in others miseries today, should I as well add myself into the list?, That's a big time no. 
“ Please babe, I can explain.... Will you just let me in, I don't want anyone to see us this way, I don't want them to hurt you, just let me in and we would talk about this in silence, please Babe.....”
Yeah, just like him, I know the risk here, I would be punished for getting into a fight with him, and he was trying to protect me from that, and as well give me an explanation that has no meaning to me. He fucking lied to me, nothing would change that, and whatever he's about to do now is prolong more lies to the one he already did lied earlier.
I let go of the door, allowing him in.
