My Sunshine 💙

25- Family Photos

💙Pattons POV💙
"His memories are gone... How do we get them back?" the question had been in my mind since Deceit told us. There has to be a way. Logan and Roman look lost in thought so I get up and head to my room to think by myself. "Thomas!" I completely forgot! Thomas's anxiety would be through the roof right now! I quickly sink out of the mind Palace and pop up in his bedroom. "oh hey Pat, what's up?" he's sitting on his bed in some pyjamas with a hot chocolate in his hands. "Just came to check up on my kiddo, that's all." he rolls his eyes playfully but his smile disappeared when his eyes return to me. "Are you okay? You're bleeding!" he set his drink down on the bedside table and pulled my wrist so I would be sitting with him on the bed. "I'm okay, it's not serious." I gave him a small, sad smile. Virgil is hurt, maybe he isn't able to affect Thomas in his state.... "How did this happen?" I don't want to lie to him, but I don't want to upset him either. I'll just... Tell the truth. If I lie I might accidentally summon Deceit, I don't want Thomas to see me angry. "okay, but you can't get mad. It wasn't his fault." Thomas raised an eyebrow but remained silent. "Virgil... Deceit removed his happy memories with us and he changed him! He hates us! Oh god, he hates us!" I put my head in my hands and started to cry. I can't bottle this up, there's too much! The tears continue to fall as Thomas wraps his arms around me. "hey, shh. It's gonna be okay, we'll get him back." "going to, not 'gonna' we've been over this. I assume that you have been updated on the previous events?" Logans voice made it obvious to me that he was trying to hold back sobs but I couldn't see him properly. "We were coming to check up on you, Pat. But you weren't in your room." Romans voice was calm and comforting. Thomas leaned back, letting go but his arms were replaced by another pair. "Its okay padre, we'll find a way." After a while we sunk back out into the mind Palace so I went to bed to sleep on things.
~nightmare~
"Pat? Pat where are you?" Virgils voice echoed through my head as I walked through the mindscape. He sounds terrified! "Pat please! Help me I cant find you!" I have to find him, he needs me! I run towards his voice and find myself standing outside of his door. It's so dark here... "Patton!"
~end~
I wake up in a cold sweat out of breath. "Virgil..." his voice lingers in my head and I find myself unable to fall back asleep so I swing my legs off of my bed and make my way to the door. The mindscape is pitch black. On my way out of my bedroom door I put on my glasses and wander aimlessly down the hallway, trailing my finger tips on the walls as I walk. I stop once my fingers hit a frame and I turn to see Virgils bedroom door. I don't understand why, but I walk in and sit on his bed. "you're still here..." Virgils purple hoodie was laying on his bed next to me so I pick it up and hug it, hot tears running down my cheeks. "I'm a mess, Virge. I can't do this without you..." I get up, still clutching to his hoodie like my life depends on it, and go to his dresser. He has so many photos of us... I pick up a photo of the four of us from the movie night right before I confessed. He took photos with us every chance he got, he said it was because he wanted something to remind him what it feels like to be loved if he lost us. I take it with me and lay on his bed. "I love you..." I rolled onto my side and felt something under his pillow. I reach under it and feel something solid so I pick up the pillow to reveal a small container. The contents made me cry harder. The blade was blood stained and the anxiety pills had some missing. "He was in pain, and I had no idea..."
