Boo! I'm back with another chapter :)

Song: Demons by Jacob Lee <3
Human au

The sound of the refrigerator buzzed in my brain. It had been, like hours, since I had sat here. I could not escape. I needed to see him. After what had happened with Logan... Leaving so suddenly...

I couldn't cope. I, more than any other, took really hard. Not even his son seemed to care... Heck, I admired Logan.
"I'm sorry for your wait, the doctor is usually punctual. Can I offer you a slice of cake?"
I look up and see a man smiling down me. I blinked in surprise, this wasn't the receptionist I had spoken to. He had a great scar from one side of his neck, right to the other. By the looks of it he had tried to cover it, as the make up was smeared and smudged. His eyes were dark brown and in the light, they sparkled with a pretty shade of  amethyst.
"Um..." I began, but my words quickly dried my mouth.
"We have chocolate, vanilla or red velvet. Or if you would rather, we have cookies." he tilted his head and smiled.
Cookies definitely sounded great at this point. I might even have two. "I take it you would like a cookie?" he asked. "Your eyes lit up like an emo at the black parade."
"Thank you, I would like a cookie. Nice reference, too." I couldn't help but crack a small smile at the man. I coukd tell I was going to get on well with him. "I'm Patton, but you can call me Pops! Everyone else does"
He returns me warm smile. "Call me Vee".
I munch happily on my second cookie, glad for the distraction the rich chocolate gave me.  Just as I pushed the last bite into my mouth, a tall man with a pink tie emerged. "Do we have a... Patton here?!"
I nod and get up to follow him.
"Do you, how do!" he cheers when I sit on the chair indicated to me. "I am Dr Picani! The best this place has to offer!" I love how his joy was almost infectious. "So, Patton! Tell me what you came here to achieve!"
"I wanted to cope. I need to get over someone." My voice was small, fearful of his reaction.
"Why do you think that, good friend?"
His smile was so genuine, his heart so open and I found myself willing my guts to spill their every secret.

"My heart is weak" I start off with. I get too easily attached to people, even though they come and go quicker than the rain falls in a storm. I could see him, standing behind the doctor. But I know he is not there. Not in reality. And yet, I find myself speaking as though to him.
"Tear it down piece by piece...
Leave me to think...
Deep in my structure, I think I still love him...
But I need some sleep..."

Until now the doctor was very quiet. I had almost forgotten about him until he cleared his throat. A few inquiries about my poor sleeping habits later, he allowed me to resume my monologue. The image of Logic became more alive with each word.

" You've taken my breath away!
Now I want to breathe...
'Cause I cannot see, what you can see... So easily"
Tears began streaming down my face. I never knew it would be this easy to get my every thought and feeling out like this. I'm shouting as I finish off my melancholy rage.
"I thought my demons were almost defeated
But you took their side and you pulled them to freedom
I kept your secrets and I thought that you would do the same!!"

And now you're gone.... I tell myself. He left me. He left his son. I forced myself to admit that Logan wasn't the good guy I thought he was. And that way I could leave this place and never return.

It's time to look after me for a change.


It's funny how someone can help you so much, just by sitting there quiet.
