Walls

  Pattons POV

I looked at the two with sad eyes. Who could Virgil's brother be? Why did he not think we loved him? What is going on? These questions flew through my head. " 'M srry." Virgil murrmured. "For what?" I asked him. "Fur not bein happy enough." I cupped his cheek in my hands and gently wiped his tears with my thumb. "You can be happy." Dalton shook his head and said, " Nonononooo people get in. You are vulnerable. They break you. Like Trump build a wall fur yur heart." Virgil nodded his head in agreement. I looked at the others. Roman had apparently left and Logan was not even looking at them. I fidgeted with my hands. This was horrible! We should be laughing and eating dinner with each other! Not keeping secrets, crying, and bullying. Our family was supposed to be perfect. I hated this. I was supposed to keep everyone together. I am failing as a dad. I could feel tears in my eyes. I blinked quickly. I had to be everyones support. No time for me to get upset. Out of no where Dalton started sobbing. I moved over and wrapped my arms around him. I whispered sweet nothings into his ear. I pulled Virgil into the embrace. I played with their hair. Soon a heavy weight fell onto my lap. Virgil looked so peaceful while he slept. I looked over at Dalton who was fighting sleep. I decided to study his features. With everything that has been going on I hadn't really noticed Dalton. He wore a light grey turtleneck and some dark grey sweatpants. His eyes shone with tears. He had fluffy hair that fell over his eyes like Virgil's. Soon he fell onto my shoulder. Once I knew they were both asleep I shifted and laid them in a more comfortable position. I cuddled them. It felt safe and warm with my kiddos. This is how a family should be. Cuddling together on the couch. I soon drifted off to sleep.
