Their Sides (Patton Sanders X Reader)

Chapter 20-Trying to contact him

TW: Brief Violence

Patton's POV

When we finaly reached Y/N's room, Vivian frantically knocked on it before I had a chance to.

"Y/N! Are you in there? Please say you are. You have to be" A few tears ran down her cheek when there was no answer and a few tried to run down mine as well.

"Let me try" I suggested and Vivian nodded, moving out of the way for me.

"Pumpkin please answer us. We're worried about you" Nothing. There was no reply. Panic was painted across Vivian's face as more tears rolled down her cheek.

"M-maybe she can't hear us. O-or maybe she's j-just sleeping" I shrugged trying to stay optimistic. Y/N had to be in there. She had to be ok. I don't know what I'd do if she wasn't.

"Sh-she always l-leaves the d-door unlocked" Vivian told me so I pulled on the door handle and the door swung open to reveal an empty room with no trace of Y/N. Our eyes widened and our jaws dropped wide open as tears streamed down our faces. I knew that I had to try and stay optimistic for Vivian but I was so worried about Y/N that I struggled to find anything to be optimistic about.

"Sh-she probably w-went out o-or something" I suggested, trying to keep my own hopes up more than Vivian's. Vivian shook her head.

"Sh-she always let's me kn-know if she's g-going out either i-in person o-or by text"

"M-maybe she just f-forgot. P-perhaps Bella knows w-where she is" Vivian nodded and we ran downstairs to try and find Bella.

Y/N's POV

I opened my eyes again and sighed. I had failed to get back to the dream world and now, I had no idea when or if I would see Patton's handsome face again. Then I had an idea. Maybe I couldn't see him but that doesn't mean I couldn't talk to him. I took my phone out of my pocket and decided to send him a text. I wasn't going to tell him where I was or what had happened because I knew that he might get hurt if Deceit found out but I just wanted to tell him that I was ok. He had probably found out that I was missing already and I didn't want him to worry about me.

Pumpkin 💖: Hey cookie. How are you?

I sent him. Only a few seconds later, Deceit appeared back in the room with an angry expression on his face, holding up Patton's phone with the message displayed on it. It was clear to me that he had stolen it off of Patton

"Why were you messaging him?!?" He barked.

"I...um..."

"Trying to escape weren't you? I warned you what would happen if you did"

"I swear i-it's not l-like that. I-I just wanted t-to talk to him, let him know that I'm ok that's all" I explained but he wasn't having any of it.

"Oh you won't be ok in a minute" he grabbed onto the knot of my cardigan and held me up against the wall.

"You're lucky I'm doing this to you and not him. I thought you were already aware of any consequences to your actions but clearly not. Clearly I just have to show you, give you some more discipline" He yelled in my face as he held up his hand. I gulped as he slapped me right across the face and dropped me as I slid against the wall.

"I-I'm sorry. I-I won't d-do it again" I appologised as tears ran down my now bright red cheek.

"Damn right you won't because you won't be able to" He snatched my phone out of my hand and threw it against the wall, smashing it into a million pieces.

"Don't you ever underestimate what I can do ever again. Understand?" He yelled in my face as I nodded.

"Good"

He head for the door to leave again but before he reached it, I mumbled "I thought you loved me" under my breath. He sharply turned around.

"What did you just say?!?"

"N-nothing"

"Liar! Answer me now!" He demanded.

"I...um...I thought y-you loved m-me" I told him timidly and he just sighed and rolled his eyes.

"I do love you darling"

"Then w-why are y-you hurting me?"

"It's the only way to make sure that you love me back, or at least pretend to. You see, I like to use fear to get what I want"

"B-but true love d-doesn't do w-what you do"

"Enough!" He yelled. "If you don't want me to torture your beloved Patton, I suggest you keep your mouth zipped. One more wrong move and he gets hurt as well as you. Got that?" I nodded timidly.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have some business to attend to and when I get back, we'll be spending some more time together and you'd better be more obedient this time" and with the flick of his wrist he was gone.

My face was still sore and my cheeks were still soaked with tears. Now I had no way of contacting Patton. He was probably so worried about me right now and I couldn't do anything to reassure him.

I was helpless. I was hopeless.
