"You found them! Roman, I'm so proud of you!" Thomas ran over to me and embraced me in a tight hug "h-hey! Give me some room to breathe!" I joked uneasily. My eyes glanced over to Virgil who was breathing heavily in the corner with tears running down his face "What happened there?" My eyes didn't leave from his face. I didn't hear the question. "Y/N!" I turned around hesitantly "yeah?" I questioned "What happened in the mind scape? How did they get you-?" I frowned. "I-uh..." I peeked over at Virgil again who was now facing away from me. "I don't know. I passed out in the dark and woke up there not long before Roman found me and took me home." I lied carefully.

I took a mental note of this fake story so it doesn't mess up later on. "I thought you would've been able to get through the darkness without passing.." Logan thought to himself "Yes, I'm sure you would have. Were you by chance- Pregnant?" I reached over and slapped Logan "No, I'm not pregnant!" I exclaimed. "Well- were you.. Were you having bad thoughts before getting in?" Logan raised a brow "Most likely. But I don't think it'd be bad enough to get me to pass" I hummed.

"I'm so glad that you guys are back!" Patton cheered happily. I forgot he was there. I forgot all about him. Not once in all this time have I ever spared a thought for him. "Virgil!" Patton ran over to Virgil and rested his head on his shoulder, leaning in and whispering something in his ear. Virgil tensed up instantly as those words left his mouth "do- Does she know..?" Patton shook his head "should I-" He got cut off "Not yet." Patton giggled excitedly. Patton was acting like a teenage girl from the 90s, hiding secrets and gossiping to her friends at midnight over the phone. 

"Are you okay? Did they hurt you?" Roman carried on about how they could of potentially hurt me without his help, so very very nice to be reminded. "No- I'm absolutely fine! They did nothing wrong!" That's when I knew that I should of kept my mouth shut "What do you mean- 'nothing wrong' ?!" I had to come up with a quick lie "I mean- they didn't hurt me, that's all." I glanced away from the group of sides to the staircase behind Virgil, taking my sight off of them. "Well it's lucky that we got you in time, who know's what could've happened?" Thomas laughed hoarsely, you could tell he had been crying. "Me, I could. I know every outcome that could have happened if Roman was not there to save her." Logan answered bluntly.

"I- What did they do?" Patton asked me nervously "uh....." I searched in my head for something that could possibly work. I couldn't say what really happened, they wouldn't believe me!- unless... "We played Twister and watched Disney on the telly, then we went shopping at the mall." I answered. Roman gasped obnoxiously as a tear fell from his eyes "Our dear Y/n has been tainted by the dark sides, she's sad now!" He cried out "She can't even bare to tell us the truth!" He dramatically called. I looked over to Virgil who was trying his best not to smile, and then I searched the rest of the room, my eyes glancing over both Patton and Logan. Logan was- very stressed.. And Patton was- smiling? 

"Hey, what's the possibility that all that stuff really did happen?" Thomas turned to Logan "A quarter of an eighth percent." Logan replied while fixing up his foggy glasses. "What are we gonna do now.." I sighed "We can watch Disney!" Roman smiled widely "As much as I'd love to do that.. I don't want to do that." Roman frowned at my words. "We can draw!" Patton held up a piece of paper and a box of crayons "Ooo! Yes!" Roman took it from him and then began scribbling down "I don't feel like participating in this activity." Logan stepped away hesitantly "I love drawing as much as the next guy but I'm not sure about doing it right now.." I awkwardly admitted.

"Oh, come on! Please, Y/n!" Patton looked up at me with hope and pure bliss in his eyes, I couldn't say no to him, even if I wanted to. I took a seat down next to him on the ground in a circle consisting of me, Patton, and Roman all drawing on the pieces of paper given to us. I waved Virgil over, he wasn't too keen but still made an effort to come over "Take a seat, Virge." I patted the floor next to me. "-okay.." Virgil kneeled down on the ground and sat down. I watched as everyone drew hastily, eventually joining in and sketching something from my head. When I was finished, I saw what I drew and folded it, putting it away and not taking another look at it. Subconsciously, I had drawn Deceit without realizing. He had a big effect on me.

I didn't want anyone to see what I drew so I quickly rolled it up and shoved the piece of paper in my pocket "What did you draw?" Patton peeked over at Roman's paper "I've only started! It's a picture of me" Roman smiled as he inspected the paper "Oh! Is- Is that eyes or a nose?" Patton pointed "That's the mouth" Roman furrowed his brows "You  can tell what it is, can't you??" Roman turned to me "huh?" I looked up from the ground "O-oh, yeah." my face flushed red from embarrassment. 

"Y/n? What happened to your paper?" They asked me "I accidentally ripped it." I told them falsely "Here's another sheet." he handed it to me. I took it from him and then started to draw once again, something that wasn't him but reminded me of that amazing place. I drew what was meant to be my bedroom. "Hey, that's pretty cool." Virgil whispered to me "Thanks." I smiled softly at him "Ooh! This looks nifty!" Roman snatched the paper I had and gazed at the picture "Very nice, very nice." he nodded in approval before giving it to Patton "Oh, this is cute." Patton smiled "I couldn't draw as good as you!" he slid the paper back to me while laughing. 

"Guys, I'm gonna go outside for a bit, okay?" I made sure they knew where I was going before leaving the house and going into the backyard. I sat down in the corner and leaned my head against the frame of the house, my knees up against my chest "Deceit. I hope I see you again.. Because I think I might like you.." I whispered to myself before slowly breaking out into tears. I buried my head in my legs, huddling together.
