The Price We Have To Pay.

Old Friends, New Friends.

(OMG A THOUSAND READS????? THANK. MUCH THANK FROM NEARLY CRYING AUTHUR.)

Donnie's mouth was agape as he stared at Harry and Robin, Then he shook his head "W-What are you guys doing here?" He asked quickly and Harry blinked "W-what are YOU doing here?" The red head asked.

Donnie blinked a few times "I live here, but, I didn't even know you guys were alive still..." He started to get quiet, almost speaking to himself.

Harry was still as a rock, but Robin rushed out from behind the tall male and hugged Donnie tight "o-..oh god, I thought they.." He tightened his grip and Donnie smiled slightly "Hey Robin, it's good to see you too, but I can't really breath." He chuckled weakly.

Robin quickly let go "o-oh, yes! I'm sorry!" He smiled and wiped his tears away "how have you been? Have you been well? I hope so." He said quickly and Donnie chuckled.

"Well, I'm actually in Highschool here...I've been doing okay, I've been living with my friend." He then cut off "oh! Come on in, there's some people i want you guys to meet!" He said quickly and backed up to let them in.

Harry and Robin's eyes widened a little but they walked in quietly, looking around as the room almost immediately came into a living room, which was full of band instruments and equipment.

Donnie grinned slightly "sorry, mind the wires." Then he looked up and around, seeming confused that the living room was empty.

The blue haired teen looked around "Guys!" He called out and frowned a little, Harry and Robin stood awkwardly "Guys, C'mon, there's some people I want you to meet!" Donnie called out once more.

Still no response was given to him and Donnie sighed and smiled back at Harry and Robin "Gimme a second please." And stared walking down a small hall way and was out of sight.

Harry shifted awkwardly "I never thought..." He whispered and Robin looked down "that he was still alive?....me neither..." He whispered back to the red head.

After a few moments of standing in silence, Robin looked up at Harry and then back down "H-Harry, look, now seems as good a time as any to say it, but I just wanted you to know that I-" but Robins stutters were cut off by a screech.

"OH MY GOD I HATE YOU." Donnie's voice boomed from down the hall and Two people came running out, laughing and crying at the same time, one was a taller male, his hair a dirty blonde, it was gruff and messy.

The next was a shorter girl, her hair a soft pink color, it was short and her bangs curled over her eyes, the two were laughing like mad men as Donnie chased after them, redder then a fire hydrant.

Robin jumped back as the two dived behind the couch as Donnie stopped and glared at them "how many times have I told you not to do that?!" He demanded and the other male popped up, still laughing "not enough!"

Donnie sighed a little but then turned to Harry and Robin, smiling slightly "well, anyways, Guys, this is Syth." He looked at the male and the girl stood up with a small smile on her face "And that's Alex." He said.

Harry turned and looked at them, he hummed a small greeting while Robin nodded "Hello."

The two teenagers nodded to them, Donnie smiled "So, how have you guys been anyways? I'm really excited to know!" He said quickly, making Harry and Robin turn to face their friend.

"We've been okay, how about yourself Donnie? Fifteen now, right?" Harry hummed with a small smile on his face.

Donnie grinned "Yeah! I turned fifteen in March." He said and put his hand in his pockets "and I've been okay, like I said, I live here in this apartment with Syth. And going through Highschool." He chuckled "fun."

Robin smiled and chuckled a little "well, uh, have you seen..your dad, since.." He trailed off, not sure how to put it with the other two still in the room without seeming like some sort of psycho.

Donnie hummed "since the teachers? No, I haven't seen him." He shrugged "Not like it mattered much." He said simply.

Harry was quietly expecting a 'what teachers?' From the other teens, but it never came, he furrowed his brows and looked at the other teens then back to Donnie "Do they know about?.."

Donnie nodded slightly "yeah, I told them." He said and shifted awkwardly "I kinda HAD to.." He mumbled.

Robin frowned "why?..." He asked and crossed his arms slightly as he tilted his head a little.

Donnie looked at them "wellll.." He glanced around the room and then looked back at them "I kinda used to live with three of them?.." He shrugged.

Robins eyes narrowed "yes, we all lived with them back in the hous-" Donnie cut Robin off.

"No, No no, I mean like, after that." The teen said and shook his head as he looked at his friends in front of them.

Harry blinked "Were they...human?" He asked "if so, who?" He asked.

Donnie hummed "yeah...how did you know? And Their names are, Shrignold, Gilbert, and Larry, But we usually just call him Dree." He mumbled.

Robin frowned "I've....I've never heard those names before.." He said "when did you get lessons from them?.." He asked.

The blue haired teen leaned back against the wall casually as he looked down "You guys weren't there for those lessons, the one with Shrignold was when we went on that chicken picnic...the one with Dree happened after both of you, left." He said and looked up at them.

Robin shivered a little bit, and Donnie continued "and then the one from Gilbert came, surprisingly, after I left the house, so."

Harry looked curious "what...what did they teach?" He asked, Donnie smiled a little "Wanna ask them yourselves?" He asked Harry.

Robin and Harry's eyes widened and they looked at each other.

What did they get themselves into here exactly?..

(Forgive the ending, and awkward dialog, I felt like writing a lot today, but then I didn't know how to end it, so here. :3)
