Our Moxy

Chapter 3 - Teddy Bears

I will need holy water after re-reading this...

When we finally reached dorm, It was probably about 6:15 or 6:20. When Roman opened the door, my jaws dropped. I have never really been or seen a dorm room, so seeing this one made me think about how I can find them just because of how big the room is.

It was just like a house but on just one level, "Kiddo you still alive?" Patton waved a hand to me. "Yeah." I answered shortly "Sorry if its not that big and if it didn't exceeded your expectations." Roman said "Says the fanciful one who rented the 2nd biggest dorm room in school." Logan mocked

"Wait, this is the second biggest room? And Roman is the only one who pays the rent?" I asked "Yes and Roman even insists that he's the only one who will pay the rent except for a few conditions" Logan explained "And what are those conditions?" "I have to make Roman's projects,  Patton will bake cookies every Monday and Wednesday and Patton also has to bake cupcakes every Friday." Logan answered me.

I just nodded and saw that there was 2 doors on the corner, "Which rooms does those 2 doors lead off to?" I pointed out the doors "Originally one of these doors have 2 beds each but we requested to remove a bed on each room." Roman said.

"So Virgy, this is our room. And that's our bed! The blue closet is mine and the other one is yours!" Patton said as we enter the room with the Blue and Purple door. There was one Queen sized bed in the center of the room and two spaces. The space on my left, which I suppose is mine, has a purple hairdresser and, a black study table, and a Black and Purple closet.

"Its perfect Patton. Thank you, Roman, Logan, and Patton" I thanked them three "No need to, emo nightmare" Roman called me by that nickname again "But Virgil, what made up you mind that you decided to stay in a dorm room?" Logan asked the question I've been fearing to answer. "My f-father kicked m-me out." I said softly but loud enough for them to hear. I looked down, I didn't want to see their faces.

I felt a pair of arms wrap around me, I looked up a bit and saw a blue shirt and a cardigan. I didn't hug back but I wanted to, my limbs weren't responding right now. The only thing I could do is sob in cookie- Patton's arms. I felt more pair of arms wrap around me, I smiled, I finally found people that will make my life better.

We seperated a few seconds later, Logan told us to sit down on the couch. "Why?" Patton asked with confusion in his eyes "You are always bringing good grades in school right? And I'm pretty sure you don't do anything that will make your father lose his trust in you. So, why?" Patton asked "Did your Mom approved to this?" Logan finally asked.

Roman and Logan didn't knew that my mother died when I was just 7, I only told it towards Patton. Patton is the type of person who you can tell your secrets to and will never tell it anybody unless you want him to.

Me and Patton exchanged looks, I didn't wanted to answer Logan so I gave Patton the 'Tell them' face. I didn't listen when Patton explained to them about my Mother's fate, I didn't listen to Patton but the memories still flew back like a boomerang.

"Mom? Come kiss me goodni-" I stopped dead at my tracks, I hid behind a wall and just look and listen to my parents' argued with something. "You're f*ck*ng lying b*tch! My dad screamed at my mom "I swear Samuel, I would never ever cheat on you!" My mom defends herself. "If  you would just keep lying to me, you'd better be dead." My dad said before pulling Mom outside their room and pushed her to the stairs, my mom fell from the 2nd level to downstairs. I can't take it anymore, "Mom!" I ran down from the stairs and ran to Mom. I didn't care if Dad saw me. I looked at Mom, Blood. I just held Mom in my arms and told her that she won't leave me, but when I checked her pulse, there was no beat. I was sobbing until a strong arm pulled my arm, I winced in pain. "Don't tell anyone you worthless piece of sh*t." My dad threatens me. I can't do anything this time, I just layed on my bed and cried myself to sleep.
