Chapter 2

   It's been a week, and everyone is forgetting what happened. Well, almost everyone. "Thomas... do you think Virgil forgot about what happened? W-What if he doesn't want to be our friend anymore!" You've been freaking out like this every day since the whole thing happened.
   "Hey," Thomas puts his hand on your shoulder, "it's all going to be okay."
   "Okay..." You mumble, trying to calm yourself down. Virgil suddenly pops up by the stairs. Speak of the devil... no, no, not devil... uh... nevermind.
   "Yo," He gives a slight wave and you smile.
   "Hey, Virge!" You exclaim. You suddenly get an idea. You turn to Thomas. "Oh, hey Thomas, do you want to play something?"
   "Like what?" Thomas asks.
   "Like a horror game...?" You suggest. You hear Virgil make a noise from behind you but you don't think much of it.

--Time Skip--

   You had put the game into the console and started to play it. All the sides have come to watch you play, even Virgil. He is sitting on the couch beside you and he's mumbling things every once in a while. You get to the mirror. "Uh, Thomas-!" Your eyes widen at seeing the girl in the mirror. She suddenly turns into some chainsaw spider thing and starts to chase you. Thomas screams and drops the controller, leaving you to pick it up and try to get away from the monster-thing. Patton is yelling about spiders from behind you and Roman is trying to tell jokes to help Thomas (and most likely himself) feel better. You hear Logan trying to calm Patton down, but it's obviously not working. You turn to look at Virgil quickly and you see that he has his hood up and his eye-shadow is extremely dark. He's shaking and tapping his fingers against his knee. "Virgil!" You drop the controller and turn to fully face Virgil. Thomas is still freaking out from your other side, but if you didn't help Virgil it would have been worse for him. Virgil doesn't respond to your concerned yelling. You wrap your arms around Virgil, giving him a hug. He's going to kill me... he doesn't like hugs. You know this, (Y/N)... You think, still not letting go of Virgil. Patton's screaming comes to a stop and Roman's joking does too. You hear them mumbling about you hugging him. You finally let go of Virgil when he calms down. He just looks at you. "I-I'm sorry! You were f-freaking out and I d-didn't... I just..." You search for the words to explain what you just did but nothing comes to mind.
   "Thank you." He says. The other sides and Thomas are quiet. You give Virgil a slight nod and turn back to face the game. You can see Thomas shaking slightly as he picks up the controller.
   "Hey, we should stop playing. It's stressing you guys out..." You say calmly, ignoring the rapid pounding of your heart in your chest.
   "Yeah..." Thomas sighs, getting up to turn off the game. When all the sides go back to their rooms Thomas stops you when you try to get food from the kitchen. "Thanks for helping Virgil."
   "How often does he have panic attacks because of that stuff?" You ask quietly. You already know the answer as soon as Thomas's eyes dart to the ground. "It was my fault then..."
   "Look, it's okay... we didn't know it would happen." Thomas reassures, putting a hand on your shoulder.
   "I... I guess you're right." You nod, giving your friend a weak smile.
   "Alright, you can grab some food now." Thomas steps out of the way and lets you go get whatever you wanted to get from the fridge. You grab some leftover pizza and slam the door shut, still thinking about Virgil.
