My Mental Help [Zanvis, Garrance, Vylante FF]

Chapter 1~

A/N: Quick note before I start: This is an AU in which only a select few of the gang have met Aph, only including Laurance, Aaron, Katelyn, KC, and (surprise,) Kacey is in this group!! In addition, Travis and Dante hang out with the SK sometimes, and the Ro'Meave brothers stick together.  Also, I may lowkey make a few references. Let's see who can spot them! XD Also, you will be seeing these characters all through the book, so get used to them.

{Zane POV}

I quietly knocked on the door, and I hear a rather soothing voice practically beckoning me inside. I softly open the door, to see multiple people sitting in a circle of chairs. I wasn't the only one who applied.

"Welcome! Please, take a seat. You're the last person we're waiting on, so we'll go ahead and get started!" The soothing voice says, who I'm now assuming is the psychologist of this place. I sit down in the only empty chair in the room. "My name is Melody, and welcome to our group session!! First, we'll all go around the room and introduce ourselves." Melody nods to the person next to her, and he starts.

"Hi, my name's Virgil." He says quietly and looks to the next person. I notice his bangs and they remind me of my own, partially covering our faces.

"Laurance." The man next to him says, nervously drumming his fingers against his leg.

"Mine's Sarah." The girl says, not meeting anyone's eye, and her quick dose of an accent reminds me slightly of my brother's.

"Max." The ginger says, looking very angry.

"Travis." The man with the white hair says. I wonder if that's natural...

"The name's Wolf." The very buff man sitting next to me says.

"Zane," I mumble, and the instructor looks at me.

"One more time?"

"Zane," I repeat louder, and she smiles.

"Perfect!! Now, I'm going to need you all to do something for me. Can you all tell me your stories? We will all be getting to know each other better over these sessions, and you'll all see you have more in common than you think." The room all collectively nods, knowing this was going to be a tough session, mostly involving many tissues. "Max, how about you go first?"

He nods, looking around the room. "I was going ice skating on a lake when the ice broke and I fell through and began to slowly sink." He looks down. "I tried to swim up, but the ice skates were dragging me down. Suddenly, my friend pulled me up from the lake, and now I can't look at him without remembering what happened." I could tell he's trying to choke back a sob.

Melody looks at him with sadness in his eyes. "Oh, I'm sorry. Virgil, why don't you go now?"

Virgil looked down, mumbling something.

"What was that?" Melody said, going to kneel in front of him. Virgil whispered something in her ear. "Oh dear. I'm so sorry. I can understand why you felt uncomfortable saying that out loud. Anyway," Melody sits back in her seat. "How about we have Laurance go next?"

Laurance slowly nods and recounts his tale. (That's for later... Ha.)

Melody nods slowly then looks at Sarah, and Sarah looks at Travis. "So. I guess it's my turn. I'm sure you all know now that I'm British, so I was coming to visit one of my friends in America and I was flying there, when suddenly there was some turbulence, and we started to go down rapidly. Suddenly we crashed down in the place, and the plane was on fire and... I had broken one of my legs..." She stops. "I was the only survivor of the plane crash... And one of my other good friends was coming with me..." She sobs. ((RIP Uzi. Died in a plane crash. #sorrynotsorry )) The whole room is silent for a bit before Melody starts back up again.

"Well, we'll have Wolf go now."

Wolf gives a short curt nod before beginning. "I'm a genetic mutation." Was all he said, and the room stayed silent.

"Oh," Melody says, before looking at me. "Ready Zane?"

I roll my eyes and state my case. (Again, for later in the book. Whoops.) After I had finished, I looked around the room to see everyone with shocked faces.

"Travis, why don't you go?" Melody asks, clearly wanting to get rid of the tension.

Travis nods. "Well, I think you'll need some background first. My father is a criminal, and he wasn't very good to me and my mother. So one day, he came back from the bar, and pulled out a knife from the kitchen cabinet, and came up to my bedroom, where my mother was just reading me a story and.." Travis stops, sniffling and looking down. "And he tried to stab me, but ended up stabbing my mother instead..." I can see the tears streaming down his eyes from here. Everyone was speechless after he finished his story, and he slowly got up and left.
