Welcome! Please come read! Only warnings are: Yelling and sad thoughts. I know! There isn't swearing or throwing bacon! I'm proud of myself!

     Be- No. I stayed up all night playing games on my phone. I'm so tired. I feel like I'm going to pass out. I slowly lay down. Rest my eyes, and did they certainly get their rest. Along with me.

~Patton's Point Of View~

     I go and check on Keeper. They've been really down in the dumps lately. I decided to bring them some pancakes and bacon. I knock on their door. But I don't get an answer. "Kiddo?" I say. I hear soft snoring. I'll hate myself for doing this. I open the door and see them passed out. Their phone on their stomach. I put the plate of pancakes on the table side. I head back to the kitchen closing Keeper's bedroom door.

     When I get downstairs, a couple confusing stares hit me. "Where is Keeper?" Thomas asks. "Still asleep." I say. "I feel bad for them." I say. "Why? They seem fine." Logan said. "Do I though?" Says Keeper in the doorframe. They had bags under their eyes and messy hair. No one cared since it was morning. But still, it was shocking. They usually brushed their hair before coming downstairs. "Also. Thanks for the breakfast Patton." Keeper says. They grab a cup of coffee and sit down. They look so tired with life.

~Deceit's Point Of View~

     Fools. They don't even know. "So. Why do you feel bad for me Patton?" 'I' ask. "You've been really down in the dumps lately. Is something bothering you?" Nope. "Nah. I'm as good as-" I fake yawn, "-as gravy." I say. "If you keep lying like that, you know that a certain snake is gonna pop up." Thomas says. "Who said he wasn't already here?" Virgil says. I pretend a confused face. "Out of all people. You choose Keeper. Again." Virgil says. "Well," I start and stop to become myself really quick, "you put it very rudely towards Keeper. But yes," I say. "What do yo-" "The same thing. Why won't you guys just let me hang out?" I say sadly. Actually sad. "You didn't ket me finish. What do you mean? Is what I was going to say." Virgil says angrily. "You said, 'Out of all people.' Does that not seem rude to you?" I ask. "If I went up to someone and said something along the line of, 'Out of all people. You chose Virgil?' Would that be appealing to you?" I ask. "No." "Then why say it about your dear friend Keeper?" I ask. "BECAUSE! I CAN'T STAY HAPPY AROUND ANYONE! WE GOT IN AN ARGUMENT! I'M MAD! THERE ARE YOU... happy...?" He yells. Footsteps start coming this way.

     Keeper. Exactly how they looked when I dressed up as them. They didn't look at anyone. "Thanks for the pancakes Pat." They say emotionless and go back to their room with coffee. Everyone was silent and confused. "Virgil? Why don't you just go up-" Patton was cut off once Virgil left. Probably to his room. "Well. I'll just go..." I say awkwardly and go back to my room. What is with them?

~Keeper's Point Of View~

     I didn't look at anyone. I saw a glimpse of Patton. So I thanked him since he was there. I didn't even care if it was the real Patton or if was Deceit. I can't believe I've managed to get in an argument with almost every side. Patton and Thomas might as well be mad at me too. I don't want them to be. But they might as well be. I just wanted to be friends with everyone. I didn't mean any harm. I just have a temper. I wish I could tell them all sorry. I just don't want to be rejected. Laughed at. Hurt. Yelled at. Ignored. Get into a worse argument. Made fun of. Attacked. Kicked. Banned. I didn't want to be a bother. Nuisance. Annoying. I didn't want to accidentally lose my temper again. I didn't want to hurt anyone. I didn't want to offend anyone. I want to apologize. I want to be friends again. With everyone. I just wanted a     f a m i l y.

     "Keeper?"

Tehe. Cliffhanger. Again. I know. At least the last one wasn't bad. You just stayed up all night and got sleep-deprived. Yeah, not so great. But oh well. Sorry it's shorter too by the way. But it's hard to fit everything in here when I can't really.
