*Gordon's POV*

I feel bad for switching Virgil's medication like that, I just wanted Olivia to see how much of a sh*tty person he is, I feel guilty now, I know his anger affects his mental health badly, it's not fair, Olivia shouldn't of taken him away from me

"Gordon can I speak to you for a moment" Olivia looked p*ssed, I know why, she's found out what I did

"Yeah" I smiled weakly

"I know what you did, Gordon, your actions are hurting him, he's was crying because of it, so stop f*cking around with his mental health" Olivia snarled

I felt awful, I didn't mean to hurt him this much, I wasn't aware that I was hurting him this much, I didn't want to admit that I had done this to him, I can't hurt him even more

*Olivia's POV*

Gordon is horrible, he's torturing his own brother, how could he, if it's my fault then I should just remove myself from Virgil's life, maybe running away and becoming a prostitute is a better life for me, it's what my dad would have wanted, I could even change my name, Anna seems like a nice name, maybe I could slip away without him noticing, no, I can't do that to him, I went upstairs to read my book, after I finished it I had a little nap for a few hours, when I woke up someone had their arms wrapped around me

"Honey, are you alright" I wondered

"I'm really tired and my back hurts and I feel sad too" Virgil whined

"Did your rescue not go so well" I asked

"No it went perfectly fine, I'm just sad" he never feels sad for no reason, there's something wrong

"Tell me what's wrong, please" I begged him, I rolled over to face him, he looked concerned "come on why don't I make you a nice cup of coffee and you can tell me all about it snookums" I comforted him and I kissed him

"Ok, and then can I sleep afterwards" Virgil requested quietly

"Yeah" I replied and I kissed his cheek

*Virgil's POV*

I was so drowsy that I couldn't stay awake any longer, I hate myself, everything is getting more physically taxing on me and I'm struggling, I need to keep quiet about it though, I can't allow myself to look weak, I was woken up half an hour later

"I'm sorry, you just looked so cute whilst you were asleep and I couldn't wake you" Olivia whispered sweetly

"Is my coffee done" I questioned her

"Yes, I've made your coffee sweetie" Olivia answered and she nuzzled my neck, she sat down next to me and she cuddled up to me, I sat up and drank my coffee, I love her to bits, I can't take this, I saw that the scar on her neck was still there, she could see that I was looking at it and she covered it with her hand, I noticed that she was wearing a silk scarf more often

"Don't look, it makes me feel ugly" Olivia sighed

Why does she think like that, she's really pretty, I placed my empty cup on the side and I went back to sleep, I felt her running her hands through my hair

"Baby, come on you can't go to sleep in your clothes" Olivia whined

I woke up again and I was forced to take my clothes off, I felt pathetic that she was mothering me like this

"I feel pathetic" I complained

"Why" Olivia wondered, she was folding my jeans and my shirt up and she placed them on the side, she neatly put my belt on top of the pile

"Because what you're doing is one of the common necessities I need in life and I feel pathetic that I haven't learnt them yet" I mumbled

"Hey, if you'd like I can teach you how to cook and clean the dishes" Olivia smiled

"Ok sure I would like to learn a thing or two from you" I laughed "why don't you get undressed and you can join me in bed kitten"

"Hah I'm already wearing my pyjamas" Olivia giggled "I'm gonna go downstairs for a while"

I felt sad when she left, Alan wandered into the room

"I feel like sh*t" Alan informed me

"Oh man, really" I could see that he was upset

"Yeah" Alan sighed

"That makes two of us buddy" I mumbled

"I want to feel happy again" Alan muttered

"Do you want to talk about it" I wondered

"I miss Ella, I want to talk to her, I can't, not after the way I ended things" Alan whispered

"Wait, hold up, you two broke up" I was severely out of the loop

"Yeah, I just feel bad about it, how can you and Olivia be together and still manage to stay in International Rescue, you two are perfect for each other" Alan whined

"Hey Alan, it's hard for me, I get so snappy all the time, and it hurts her" I told him

"But you're still together aren't you" Alan questioned me

"Yes, but I always manage to upset her" I whispered
