Virgil's POV

I roll over to my side to check the time. 11:47?
Dang I slept in a long time. Yeah you did, wow lazy much? How about you go back to sleep you useless pig? Sounds good to me..

"Virgil, are you up yet?" Roman yells attempting to get my attention. "No, I'm still asleep." "Oh, okay, can I come wake you up later?" Is he really this dumb? "Sure, whatever you want."

That will buy me some time. I get up and walk over to my dresser. Grab the box.

I can't grab the box now, I'm going to get dressed and go downstairs to get breakfast. They don't want to see you! Might as well just do it!

.. maybe later! I don't have a good reason right now, I need to go downstairs and eat with the group. They don't like you! I.. I know.

I open my dresser door and grab my black and purple hoodie and some ripped jeans. I snap and they appear on my body, that's a fun trick I learned a while back.

I grab my phone and headphones and head out my room. I look down the stairs and I see Roman coming up, probably to 'wake me up' again.

"Good, you're up! Your plate is on the table." "Thanks..." I say walking past him down the stairs. I look over and see Logan reading a news paper and drinking coffee and Patton eating a pancake.

"Hey kiddo! How'd you sleep?" Patton asked patting to the seat next to him. Bad, you slept very bad! I kept you up last night, you cried for a long time. "Good..." Liar.

I go to take a bite of the pancake in front of me, but I just couldn't. I haven't eaten in a while, like a month. I just can't. As soon as I put my fork down, the snake appears.

"Virgil.. why did you LIE to Patton?" he said with a smirk. "Are you trying to keep something from us?" he said looking straight in my eyes. "No, I'm not!" I said getting up. "LIES!" he yells stepping closer to me. "Kiddo, what are you keeping from me?" Pat asked looking at me, worry spread on his face.

Logan put down his newspaper and looked me in the eyes. "Virgil, you seem distressed, what is wrong?" he says fixing his glasses. "I'm fine!"
I say running upstairs. I run, bumping into Roman. "Virg, you good?" "I'm fine!" I yell trying to go around him. He keeps stopping me from moving, then he grabbed my shoulders. Our eyes met, that's when he noticed me crying.

"Virgil.. it's okay." he says pulling me into a hug. I cry harder and i sink to the floor. He pulls me closer, rubbing circles on my back.

Roman's POV

I run circles on his back, trying to calm him down. Tears were seeping down his face. Clearly, this was having an anxiety attack. "Virgil, match my breathing." I start to take a deep breath, holding it and breathing out. His breathing started to become normal.

"I'm a disgrace, a disappointment. You don't want me around. I should just disappear." he says sobbing harder. I hold him tighter and brush my hand on his face. "Virg, I want you around! We all do! Why are you saying these things?" I say wiping off his tears.

"The voices. They keep telling me these things!" he says pushing himself back and throwing himself into the wall. He grabs his head and starts yelling in pain. "Virgil! Calm down! It's okay! I'm here!"

(time skip)

It's been an hour, Virgil stopped crying and fell asleep on my shoulder. We were sitting against the wall.

I get up and pick him up and carry him to my room. I open the door and walk in. I walk over to the bed and lay him down, pulling the covers over him.
