Problems

Hope

No-one's POV

"I can't believe you're here!" Patton rushed forwards, embracing the two girls in a hug. "It's been so long! How did you even know I was here!" Virgil cautiously followed Patton not trusting the strangers. Patton finally released them from his death hug before noticing their escort. "Why do you have a police officer with you? Hope did you murder someone?! Paisley! I trusted you to watch her!"

"Calm down Patton. Any visitors who are not directly related or have not visited before must be accompanied by an officer to assure that the patients is not distressed by their presence." Logan came down the hall with Roman following.

"How do you know that?" Patton questioned looking back at the two boys.

"Logan's probably memorized the policy book." Virgil chimed in.

Hope's gaze was daring between the boys. "Why. The flip. Are all there so. Many. Beautiful hunks of man flesh here?" Patton burst into a fit of giggles. "You think I'm joking but look at this guy-" Hope pulled Virgil closer. "This guy is like, the definition of dark and handsome, and that guy, who I'm to lazy to pull over here-" Hope pointed at Logan. "With his boyfriend are like a super powered form of the nerd jock duo!"

Virgil rolled his eyes. "Come on, you're blowing this out of proportion. Maybe not for Logan and Roman, they look good, if you squint, but I am definitely not handsome."

Patton and Hope both screeched at the same time. "Excuse me, you are the most handsome out of you three! I mean you've got flipping bazookas for arms." Hope defended her previous statement while Patton detected the self deprecation in his tone. "Excuse me! No-one talks about my dark strange son slash best friend slash boyfriend like that! I will physically fight you!"

Virgil huffed but you could see the smirk he was hiding."Ok Ok. I get it, I'm gorgeous."

"Boyfriend aye. Looks like little Pat's been busy." Hope teased. Patton blushed a bright red before being pulled to the side by Paisley, who almost everyone had all but forgotten at this point.

"Patton? Are you sure about this? The last time you made an impulsive decision like this it ended up getting you hurt." Paisley whispered but it was loud enough that Virgil heard.

"Paisley, I know that you're just looking out for me but Virgil is not like him. In the hour that we've been together he's given me more love than Dominic gave me during our entire relationship." Patton didn't even bother whispering.

"Who's this Dominic you speak of?" Logan was confused.

"He's a monster who is never coming within a mile of Patton ever again."

"Tha-that was surprising- eh surprisingly unhelpful." Logan's composure was cracked by the pure rage and ferocity in Virgil's voice, but he hid it well. "But by your obvious disdain of this 'Dominic' he was not kind to Patton. Is he a rash or mean brother? An abusive ex?"

"He's the one who-" Virgil cut himself off when he saw Patton's discomfort. "I'll tell you later."

"Your boyfriend's scary." Hope whispered loudly to Patton. "Welp it's time for the tour! Come on you've got to show us around!" Hope dragged Patton away, the others following along.

Paisley's POV

'I don't trust this Virgil kid. He reminds me too much of Dominic. At least how he acted at first.' Paisley grabbed Virgil's arm as he went to follow the others. He looked at her with a confused glance.

"Convince me." Paisley crossed her arms, and hardened her gaze.

"Convince you what?"

"Convince me that I can trust you to take care of Patton, convince me that you're not another Dominic."

"Really? I could ask the same thing. You two left him in a possibly abusive and definitely toxic relationship, when he needed you the most! If you were there he might have been able to resist-" Virgil cut off suddenly, stopping himself before he finished his sentence.

'What did that monster do to my child!' "He might be able to resist what?!? Tell me!" Paisley grabbed Virgil's shirt pulling him down to her level. (Paisley's a small bean)

"Resist nothing. I shouldn't have said anything." He kept his voice flat and his vision level, not looking her in the eye.

"Tell. Me. Now. Or so help me I will beat it out of you."

"It's not my place to tell. If Patton wants to tell you he will. The only thing I can tell you is that I would rather die than ever hurt Patton. I will keep him safe." Paisley let go of his shirt, backing up a few spaces before giving him a nod. "Let's go catch up with the others. Logan might be worrying were we went."

"Only Logan? I'm sure my children will notice I'm gone."

"Children? Well it looks like Patton wasn't kidding when he said that it was something his friends did."

"Yea I'm Patton's mom, since I'm the actually responsible one, and Hope is my granddaughter, since she acts like a three year-old half the time." (This is literally my friend group. I bet you can guess who I am.)

"So that would make me Hope's brother?"

"Patton adopted you?"

"Within the first month. It really confused everyone, since we don't do anything like that around here."

"Nice. I bet you'll make a great grandson." Paisley and Virgil finally found the others.

Logan imminently noticed them. "Where have you two been?"

"Paisley here was just giving me the mom talk. Nothing much, just the usual 'hurt him I'll make you wish you were never born' and 'welcome to the family, where incest is fine, as long as you're not related." Virgil leaned against the door frame.

Hope chimed in. "Come on. That's not our motto. The motto is 'welcome to the family, the cookies are free, incest is fine, but if you break up then we won't care for your drama.'"

Patton joined in. "Those are too long. How about 'welcome to the family, take a cookie and don't go breaking eachothers hearts."

"I like it, but one question. Where's my cookies?" This sent the three overactive teens into fits of giggles.

Comment if you want to kill Dominic off.
