It was three in the morning and thirteen-year-old Virgil's father was just arriving home. Virgil had heard his drunken father stumble through the door, he got up from his bed and rushed to his closet in hopes that his father either wouldn't come looking for him or wouldn't find him.
"V-VIRGIN!" His father groaned in the middle of his sentences as he began stumbling down the hall in search of his son. "I swear to fucking god if you don't come out here-" Virgil had heard a crash, it had sounded as if his father had tripped over a lamp in the hall. "-God Fucking Damn it, Look what you made me do!"
It was only a matter of time before Virgil's father had reached his room, he fell onto the door and pushed it open, falling onto the floor. Virgil jumped when he heard the door, suddenly wondering: Why hadn't I gone for the window?
His father began trashing his room, every time he picked up something heavy and threw it across the room to see if Virgil was under it, he tripped over himself and cursed under his breath.
It was only moments later when his father realized he hadn't checked the closet yet, his father stumbled over to the closet and thrashed the door open to see Virgil cowering on the floor. He picked him up by the collar of his shirt and slammed him up against the wall.
"I thought I fucking asked for you to come to me a long time ago!" Virgil flinched at his words, afraid he was going to hit him.... again.
His father saw him flinch and just chuckled, dropping him to the floor. "F-Fucking pussy... You really live up to your name, Virgin." But that wasn't his name... how could he not know that, he was there... his name was "VIRGIL! God Damn it, My name is Virgil! -il How can you be so fucking inconsiderate to not even get your own damn son's name right you fucking drunk! That's all you've ever been since mom died, A FUCKING DRUNK! If she saw what your doing now she'd put you in prison!"
That's when Virgil realized he'd fucked up, he began backing away in fear but all his father did was drop his beer bottle and stare at the floor with a blank expression. "... You're right."
Virgil was shocked, he was for sure that his father would've beat the living shit out of him. "I am?"
That's when Virgil noticed tears stream down his fathers face and he realized he was being serious.
That was until the next day, Virgil woke up for school in hopes that his father would be getting ready for work since he hadn't went in weeks, but when he looked for his father he was gone and he immediately knew that his father was out getting drunk.
Before Virgil left for school he left a note for his father on the door.
Dear Father,
Don't expect me to be home, don't even go looking for me because you won't find me. I decided to leave since you're obviously not serious about getting sober and I can't live with a drunken father. I'm sorry that it had to come to this.
Signed, Virgil...... Virgin.
Like usual, Virgil walked into school like everything was normal, he often hid his bruises under his hoodie. He shoved his hands deep into the pockets of his hoodie as he quietly crept up on his friends.
"... What if we got..." Virgil shook his head as he joined in the conversation. "Roman, whatever your about to say we can all conclude that it's going to be dangerous and dumb."
His other friend Logan nodded in agreement as he crossed his arms, awaiting how this turned out. "Oh come on Doctor Gloom, You don't even know what I was going to say!"
Virgil crossed his arms and rose an eyebrow in curiosity. "Fine, go ahead... continue."
Roman squealed a bit and Began his little appifany. "So, I was thinking that we could go shopping cart racing but with-"
Virgil rose his hand to interrupt Roman, "Nope, that's already a bad idea."
Roman scoffed and held his chest like he'd been wounded. "I'm hurt."
Virgil just smirked as he began to walk, "We should go to class."
His other friend Patton, placed a hand on his shoulder, causing Virgil to look back. "Hey... are you okay?"
Virgil winced when Patton had touched his shoulder, he still had a few fresh bruises and cuts on him and Patton had just irritated one of them.
Everyone looked at Virgil with concern, he simply put his hood over his head and walked away mumbling "I'm fine."
To Be Continued.
