PILLS AREN'T PEOPLE

ch. 1

BEEP BEEP BEEP BE-

The beeping of the alarm came to a sudden stop with a thud as virgil slammed his hand down onto the top button of the alarm clock causing the clock to fall of the desk it rested on. Virgil stored in his blanket before kicking it off and rubbing his eyes. Virgil sat up in his bed before raising his arms over his head and stretching causing a line of cracks to go up his back.virgil moved the blankets off of his feet and over the end of the bed before turning his his legs off the side of the bed. virgil sat there for a moment, grabbing his phone off of the desk that his alarm used to be on. Virgil turned on his screen and put in this overly complicated password. The screen of his phone showed a few apps and games neatly organized in different categories. He looked through his notifications to see if there was anything of interest but saw nothing. Virgil turned off the screen with a sigh before standing up and walking to the door. Virgil looked out the door to see if anyone was out but saw no one. Virgil walked out quickly walk over to the bathroom and closing the door,locking it. Virgil looked in the mirror at his face with messy makeup and sighed before cleaning off the makeup and brushing his teeth. Virgil frowned at his face in the mirror, he always hated his pale freckled face, dark bags, fluffy curly hair, and his his dull purple eyes. Virgil got out his make up and started to apply his makeup to his face starting with his concealer. He had a pale concealer that was the same tone as his skin but just less gray compared to his skin. Next be put on his black eye shadow under his eyes to hide his real bags. Virgil took out a straightener and straightened his hair. Lastly virgil pulled out some brown contacts and put them in. virgil blinked a few times before looking at himself before sighing. Virgil put his things away and walked out of the bathroom. As virgil was walking back to his room patton called out to him. " hello my dark mysterious son!" patton greeted with a smile " hey pat..." virgil said looking at patton with his norman plain face. "I'm almost done with breakfast can you go and tell roman and logan, it's always best when it's hot!" virgil thought for a moment before sighing "sure pat." he said before walking down the hall to the other two sides doors. First to logans door. Virgil was about to give a light knock onto logan's door but it opened showing logan dressed in his normal clothes. " I presume that your here to inform me that pattion has made breakfast and wanted you to come and inform us of it so that when we arrive the food is at its most satisfactory." logan said adjusting his glasses on the bridge of his nose before walking past virgil. " I thank you for the information,"he said before walking down the hallway to the living room that was attached to the kitchen. Virgil looked down the hall for a moment before walking over to a red door. Virgil knocked on the door and waited a few moments before it opened showing roman in his normal clothes but his hair was a mess and he had a brush in his hand " patton i'll be ou- oh hello virg. what do you need?" virgil looked at his unruly hair before looking back at him. " umm.... Patton's almost done with breakfast and he wants us to get there before it gets cold" virgil said well looking away and fiddling with the end of his sleeves so that they covered his hand. " oh thanks i need my fuel for a wonderful day! " he said in his norman over damadic voice. ".....ok "virgil then started to walk to the living room. Once he reached the room he walked over to the counter and hopped up onto it. " you are aware that there is a chair right there right?" logan said well jestering to a chair but i just shrugged and laid back against the wall and brought my legs up onto the counter and putting my hood over my head. Soon eghf roman walked out from the hall and into the living room with us. He sat down on the couch and was looking at tumbler on his phone. There was a small ding from the kitchen and the sound of plates being taken out along with silverware " it's done everyone come and sit down! " patton yelled out causing them all to get up and walk over to the table. They all sat down and soon patton set down plates in front of them all with 2 eggs 3 pieces of bacon and a pieces of toast. The other sides started to eat there food but virgil just looked at his for a few moments. Virgil looked at the others before starting to eat. He ate one egg and one piece of bacon. He picked up his plate and put the toast in his mouth he walked to the kitchen. Virgil cleaned his plate after throwing out his food. Virgil got some coffee before walking back up to his room. Right before he walked up stairs he felt a hand on his wrist. Virgil jumped in surprise before calming down when he saw that it was just patton "oh sorry kiddo, it's just that you didn't eat much did you not like the food?" patton said with a kinda sad voice. Virgil looked at him with surprise " what? no no!" virgil spun around almost falling " i love your food patton, your the best cook ever! I just wasn't really hungry" virgil said well waving his hands in defense. Patton looked at him with bright eyes and smiled again "aww thank you kiddo that means a lot!" patton said joyfully before crushing virgil's ribs in one of his fatherly bear hugs. Virgil just smiled lightly till he noticed how much more painful the hug fet than normal. Virgil tried not to yelp out in pain as patton let go "hey virgil...your thinner that the last time i hugged you? Yo ok?" virgil looked at him before feeling his own sides before looking at patton surprised. "Huh...yeah you're right...maybe i just grow overnight who know we are magical beings" virgil said shrugging at patton. Patten was about to say something but was cut off by roman in the other room " you wish shorty !" patton looked at the way the voice came from with a frown " son if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all" patton yelled back to roman to witch there was no response. Virgil looked at patton with a smile " dont worry im fine patton anyway i'm gonna go to my room i'll be there if you need me" virgil said. Patton was about to argue but just slowly nodded. Virgil walked up the stairs and to his room. Once virgil was in his room he quickly took off his jacket and shirt. He looked down at his own thin waist and you could almost see his ribs through his skin. Virgil looked were patton hugged him and he could see that it was starting to bruise. "What in the-" before he could finish his sentence he was overcome by dizziness and a nauseous feeling in his stomach. "Ugggg....." virgil quickly teleported to the bathroom almost falling over. He leaned over the toilet and puking up his breakfast and stomach acid. virgil reached up and flushed the His throat burned and his eye watery. Virgil slowly stood up but almost fell over again. Virgil walked to the sink and washed his mouth before brushing his teeth. " what is wrong with me " virgil said to himself in a raspy voice.
