Virgil's POV:
I woke up to the sound of shouting. god damn it. I sat up, instantly regretting it. Deen knocked on the door before opening it, and he helped me get up. "what happened?" I asked, noting the lack of emotion in my voice. "mom... beat you up so badly you passed out from exhaustion. I carried you upstairs and left you to heal." I wasn't surprised, mom beats me all the time. Deen got up and brought me my blue suit that dispised. I sigh, and carefully put it on. "Thanks, brother. will you go get me some water?" I ask, wanting to just get this over with. Deen ran off, and I slowly trudged down the stairs. I saw mom talking to the queen from last night. I looked into the kitchen and saw Roman helping out Deen. I approach them and we sit down to talk.
Remus's POV:
I peeked out from behind mom, only to see Roman chatting with that boy from last night. I walked over, trying not to word-vomit like I normally do. as usual, I start to think of all the amusingly dangerous thing were in the house. I sit at the counter, listing to the conversation. I look at the boy wearing a blue suit and notice that his eyes were a dull purple. taking interest in the conversation, I sit down and just listen. we ended talking for hours, and I fell asleep. Roman was staring at the blue boy's arms. I shrugged and laid my head down on Deen's legs.
Roman's POV:
Remus had fallen asleep on Deen's lap. I noticed something strange about Anxiety. "Hey, Anxiety?" I hesitantly asked. "yeah?" he said. he sounded so... empty. "Can I see your arms?" He looked panicked. "N-no" he stuttered out. I grabbed them and pulled up his sleeves. I gasped when I saw those thin scars. he went quite. After a while, He just started to cry. Holding him, I sang him a song I knew.
"nobody seems to get ya, you feel you on your own. but I promise baby, you don't have to be alone."
I breathed in and used my ability to put power in my words.
"baby don't cut, baby don't cut, you can do anything, but just promise me you won't cut."
"I know your heart is hurting, I feel the pain too. you may just feel that blade your holding, is your only friend. but baby don't cut, baby don't cut. you can do anything but promise you'll never cut."
I noticed he had fallen asleep. I created a phone and used it to tell mom what happened. A few minutes later, we were taking him home. I laughed, for real. It felt amazing to have him there. when he woke up, his eyes were shining. and they were a bright purple compared to their pale purple from a while ago. Then I hear my alarm going off. we gotta get to 8th grade, huh. I can't wait to see Mimi, she loves me. I may be gay, but she is cute. she's Anxiety's sister, even though he doesn't remember her. I turned off the alarm and got dressed, finding some purple clothes for Anxiety. When he got up, we started walking and talking to each other. then we heard a deafening scream. Mimi Ran up to me, sobbing. Thomas Sanders had just committed suicide. I grabbed their hands and rushed over to the body. I took Anxiety's hand in mine, and as Patton and Logan approached us, there was a bright flash. I held onto all of us tightly. then everything went black.
