~A Light in the Shadows~ PRINXIETY FANFIC [EDITING] (temporary cover)

Chapter 10~ Escape....or not

~Chapter 10~

Back and forth POV (Anything bolded will be Virgil. Anything underlined will be Roman. Any combination of the two or other font modifiers are not a point of view)

‘...Are those bandages?’

‘Oh no. He saw my bandages’.

‘Dear god, they’re everywhere.’

‘Oh my god, they’re everywhere. What’s he thinking right now?’

‘...They’re on his arms? Why would he have so many bandages on his…..No. No way. He wouldn’t hurt himself…..would he?’

‘I can’t tell what’s going on inside his head. Is he mad, sad, scared? Man, I fucked this up. He’s never going to love me like this. He’s never going to want to see me again. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, ME, YOU DID IT AGAIN! CONGRATULATIONS’

‘How many are there? Are they just on his arms? D-Did he do? Cut? Burn? God, I don’t even know what he could’ve done. There’s blood all over them. We need to get these cleaned up. More importantly, we need to make sure he stops.’

‘He’s gonna tell the others. Logan probably won’t care...as usual. Patton will be heartbroken. I don’t know how to explain this to them. What am I supposed to say? I was so close to the day, too. Three more days and I would’ve been gone. They wouldn’t have had to deal with this.’

(Virgil’s POV. Back to original format.)

I couldn’t read what’s going on inside of Roman’s head. I grabbed my hoodie and scrambled to put it on, but Roman put a hand on my shoulder, stopping me.

“....Virgil?” He asked, his voice squeaking as he said my name. Tears welled up in his eyes, threatening to fall down his face.

“Look,” I started. “It’s not what yo-” I stopped mid-sentence. He looked away as tears rolled down his face, refusing to make eye contact.

“It’s exactly what I think, isn’t it?” He asked. I sighed and nodded. There’s no use denying it now. “When are those from?” I looked at the ground, not wanting to see Roman’s expression.

“Today, actually.” I looked up at him, coincidentally at the same time as him. His eyes were full of sorrow. Our happy moment was gone. I messed it up, just like everything else.

See? I told you how this would go. You never learn. You never have and you never will.

“....Can I see?” He asked. I slowly slid off my sweatshirt, revealing my arms. My short sleeve shirt didn’t cover much, but it still hid some. My arms were covered in bandages, spattered in blood. It was not a pretty sight. Roman let out a little yelp, tears flowing down his face. “Dear god…..” He said under his breath. I knew what was coming as soon as I saw it in his eyes. “LOGAN! PATTON! GET UP HERE NOW!”

“WHAT THE FUCK, ROMAN?” I pushed him away from me and got up, running out of the room. I was not going down without a fight. I ran towards the bathroom, but Logan blocked my path. He eyed my bandages cautiously and put his hands out, attempting to comfort me.

“Anxiety? Calm down. We’re right here,” He said, taking a step towards me.

“FUCK YOU, LOGAN!” I yelled, darting the other way. My heart was practically beating out of my chest.

‘What are they gonna say when they catch me? What are they-’

Aaaaand suddenly, there was a rag over my face. Damn it. I forgot that Logan carried chloroform 24/7. My eyelids grew heavier than cement and I passed right out. God, I hate all of them sometimes.
