How Can You Be So Trusting?

Chapter 5 - Janus Is Gone?!

Patton's P.O.V

Janus said while walking up the staircase to go to sleep, "I'm not going to bed early,"

"Okay," I mumbled trying to make what I said sound human or understandable but failed. Oh well!

We finished our pizza and smoothies and descided it was time to go to sleep like Janus. Speaking of Janus he hasn't made a sound in ages. He must sleep like a rock!

"Well guys, I'm gonna hit the hay," I told my group of wonderful friends, "Don't stay up past midnight, you all know the rules," I re-informed them.

I walked up my house's stairs to get to my room where the thought to be sleeping Janus resting.

I opened my door to my room. He must of hated the draft coming thorogh the door. He must of closed it. Maybe he was getting changed.

I knocked on the door just incase of that scenary. I didn't want to invade his privacy, I havent known him that long.

No one answered from inside. I'm pretty sure my room is not sound proof, so he must be asleep.

I opened my creaky door to my bedroom and felt an even bigger draft from inside.

"Janus..?" I questioned as I looked around the room.

He wasn't there.

The window was open. He left. Without saying goodbye.

I quickly ran to close the window but looked out it incase. Some branches on the tree are damaged. He climbed down the tree.

"GUYS!" I yelled to the others.

I heard a herd of elephants coming up the stairs loudly. They must be worried.

"Patton?" Virgil came into the room first surprisingly.

"Janus left," I announced as the others came into my room.

"What?" Roman reacted, "Why would he do that?"

Emile and Remy just stood there shocked at what I had just told them. But Remus wasn't here. They didn't bring him. He is one of my friends even if he's a little...exentric.

"The dude just met us a few days ago, we barely know anything about him," Virge snapped at Roman.

"Please stop," I asked quietly, the two turned towards me in shame.

"Where would he go?" Emile asked himself aloud.

"None of us have really heard much about him from Logan so we have no idea," Roman contributed.

"Maybe he went to Logan's house?" I chipped in trying to be somewhat helpful.

"Maybe..." Virgil mumbled.

"How about we inform your mom so she can ask Nayomi through text," Emile suggested.

"Yeah, let's do that!" I tried to stay enthusiastic. Another one of my friends have left me, I thought we were so welcoming as well. Maybe it was me?

We all stampeeded down my houses staircase like a parade of elephants to my mother. She only goes to bed at midnight so I know she's awake. She really needs to get to bed earlier.

"MOM!" I shouted as I ran to the kitchen where I saw her.

"Patton? What ever is the matter?" She asked confused by what was happening.

"Janus left through the window!" I told her as the shoke began printing on her face, "Could you call Logan's mother to see if he's there, please,"

"Absolutely," She said as she pick up her phone and dialed Nayomi's number.

"Nayomi it's me Racheal," My mother said to the women on the phone, "By any chance is Janus at your house?"

"What?" Nayomi asked. My mother phone was always on speaker because she could hear anyone without it on.

"What's that sound Nay?" My mother asked after what i think was a knocking sound could be heard on the other line.

"Could you wait a moment Rach?" The call went on hold as we all anxiously waited.

This went on for five minutes before we were finally put back on the call, "He's here,"

"Thank goodness!" I exclaim loudly.

"Is that Patton?" Someone asked.

"Yes it is Janus, wanna say hi?" Nayomi asked.

"I'm not sorry for not running out on you guys," Janus apologised, he sounded sad.

"It's fine as long as your alright Jackal and Lies," Roman tried to lighten the mood.

"No thanks, but it was alright for me not to leave like that," Janus apologised again.

"It's fine babes as long as you leave like a note or something next time," Remy tried to reassure him.

"Should I not come back?" He asked.

"If you want to," Virgil added in.

"Patton?" Janus asked for confimation.

"You're always welcome here!" I happily confirmed.

"I'm not coming right now," Janus told us.

"Alright kiddo, we'll be here!" I commented.

"Bye," The call ended with a beep.

"Thanks mom," I thanked my mother.

"No prob bob," She said.

"My name is Patton," I joked.

"Niccccceeeeeee," Emile smiled at the Steven Universe referance I had just made.

"Do any of you kids want some hot choc?" My mom asked the group.

A mixture of sures and yes's could be heard as we all sat back down in the living after a crazy night. I hope Janus doesn't feel forced to come back.

~~~A Few Minutes Later~~~

A car pulled up in the driveway and a young boy came out the car. Janus was back!

Knock.Knock.Knock.

I opened the door and immediately hugged him tightly. Janus seemed taken back by what i did but then again I did just hug him really quickly- Like light speed!

"Hello," Janus said.

"Why did you go..?" I asked quietly.

"I know, my thoughts didn't get in control," Janus told me, "I'm not sorry,"

"Alright boys!" My mum caught all of our attention, "Time to go to sleep now, that means all of you," She said while pointing at all of us.

"Call me out like that why don't you?" Virgil complained.

"I mean, she's not wrong lil emo," Roman commented with another one of his witty nicknames, I think it's cute.

"You heard Patton's mother, let's all go to sleep," Emile reared us all in metaphorically. He reminds me a lot about Logan-I miss him.

We all climbed back up the stairs quickly and settled down for the night.

Today has been so crazy, but not in the good way, sadly. I hope Logan feels better and Janus feels more comfortable around me and the others, it would be really nice.
