Damaged~ Broken Book 4

A (Ch.12)

I finished up the cookies and set them down to cool, while I started on the soup. Deceit was still just staring at me with glowing yellow eyes. I started feeling my skin crawl. I stopped what I was doing and just stood there, hands on the counter, just trying to breathe. My anxiety has been nothing but hell since I came back to the hollow and the other just make it worse.

"You are literally the worst fucking asshole I have ever met." I cringed as Deceit just stood there staring.

"I'm sorry but I don..."

"Save it. You know you can't lie to me." That's true, Deceit is like a human lie detector. Ironic, isn't it. "What the fuck man? You couldn't just fucking tell me."

"Deceit..." What am I supposed to say? Does he know? What if he doesn't? What if... I can't.

"Why'd you do it?"

"Do what?"

"VIR..."

"Deceit, there you are. Why are you in here. I thought you hated him." Roman popped up out of the blue, pulling deceit into an awkward hug. Deceit hisses and Roman backs off laughing. He hates me... Deceit hates me... I hit the side of the pot I was making, knocking it over and spilling it all over me.

"Shit!" It doesn't hurt but the shock of it surprised me. I need to get a hold of myself. 3 years no problem but as soon as I am back with them it's like I'm nothing but nerves. Yes, I heard it but still... " Roman, would you mind grabbing me a towel?"

"On it, ginger snap." I just sighed and took my soaked shirt off. I grabbed the towel from Roman and stood there wiping my face when I noticed Roman staring at me.

"What?" He didn't answer. He was just staring, it was honestly a little creepy. I set the towel down and picked my shirt up, setting my hands on fire to the dry the shirt off faster. "Seriously, why are you staring at me? Is there something wrong?"

"Nope. Nothing at all, hot topic."

"Aw, you think I'm hot." Roman blushed and Deceit facepalmed. I put my now dry shirt back on and left to go find Patton. I was going to have to go out now that the soup was all over the floor. I picked it up, I didn't just leave it but still... I was very frustrated over the whole thing. 

"Patton I know something is wrong. Tell me, please." I stopped short and hid behind a wall, as the sounds of Logan and Patton hit my ears.

"Nothing's wrong Lo, honest."

"Pat I know your lying... I can feel it remember. I feel your pain and guilt. So please tell me. Whatever it is I'm sure it's not that bad." I knew he was hurting. I should never have asked him to lie. I should never have told. I should have played it off and none of this would be happening. I should have never... NO... You have to stop thinking that running away is the only option.

"Logan, I... I made a promise." Even I heard the hurt in his voice... Just... It's ok dad, you don't have to lie for me anymore.

"Who in the world would make you promise something that is obviously hurting you!" I stepped out from behind the wall and Patton's eyes widened.

"I did." Logan whipped around pretty pissed off, until he saw the tears in my eyes.

"A? I don't..." I smiled and took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry Lo, I wasn't thinking at the time. I was just so scared, I didn't even think about how lying would effect dad. I mean he's a pure fluff ball, and I just..." His eyes were wide in shock, and Patton was beside him crying. I didn't know if it was happy tears or what.

"A did you just call..."

"Logan it's me..."

"Virgil?"
