PILLS AREN'T PEOPLE

ch. 2

After the incident in the bathroom virgil stumbled to his bedroom. Virgil had practically thrown himself on his bed not even covering himself in his blankets to keep himself warm in his room. Virgil's rooms temperature changed with his mood so with how he was feeling at the moment his room was pretty chilly. Virgil was laying back on his bed with his leg off the side of it hand his arm over his eyes. It was going to be a long day. Back with the others after they had finished eating and cleaning their plates they were sitting in the living room. Patton and roman were doing arts and crafts on the coffee table well logan was in his normal couch chair reading a book looking up at the others ever so often will a soft smile mainly aimed at patton as he was having the most fun. Patton has a bright smile on his face and as he was making a colorful colored card covered in glitter and glue. At the moment patton was cutting out the letters I L and Y his favorite letter. Logan guessed that he was making a family card again. Next to patton roman was making various small crafts such as animals and props out of popsicle sticks. The three of them felt a tug on them. And they smiled as they all sunk down to the real world. They were greeted with a guilty looking thomas. They all look at one another before looking back at thomas. The first to speak was patton " you ok kiddo.... You look upset." next was roman to pipe in " i bet it that ainxiety is bothering his for something stupid..." Thomas cut into the conversation well waving his hands " no no it's not that at all, but it is about virgil ...you see I had a panic attack the other day-" logan cut in "yes when virgil almost fell down the stairs" thomas nodded and continued "-yes and later I was thing that maybe I can take something just so when something like what happened don't happen again. So i got some ......anxiety pill." they all looked at thomas before looking at each other. "Well ...that was unexpected. Did you communicate this with virgil yet?" logan said will pushing his glasses up on his nose. "....no i didnt i was afraid he was going to freak out and have another panic attack " thomas said " that sounds like him "roman said well looking away. Patton looked at them before speaking "well i think that virgil should know. We need to know if it has any effect on him! What if it hurts him" the others looked at him before logan spoke up " i think we should not tell virgil. If we were to tell him and he is not content with the idea, he may try to blame anything on the pills for thomas to stop taking them. I think that instead we should observe virgil and see if there are any changes in his personality or his physical attributes." logan stated well looking at the others. The others stay silent for a moment before they nod patton being the last to agree. " good we're all at terms now thomas have you taken any of the pills today?" logan asked well writing something down in a notebook. "Uhh ...yeah i took one last night so it would kick in for the day." thomas replied well logan jotted down what he had said. " inferring that there tweeny-four hour pills your going to need to take them at the same time every day at the same time which is ...10:32" logan finished writing in his notebook a moment after speaking. They all looked at logan and nodded " so we just watch virgil to see if he changes as all over what like the next week? " roman said well looking at logan. Logan sighed and nodded at roman "indeed roman, if any of you find somethings changed, tell me and i will take note on it so we can see if the pills will have a good or bad effect on virgil." logan said well holding up a notebook. Patton thought for a moment before jumping and putting his hand in the air shaking it back and forth. Logan looked at patton and nodded causing patton to smile. " today at breakfast virgil said he wasn't hungry but when i gave him a Hug he was really skinny, like way more than when i gave him a hug the day before!" patton said happy he could contribute to the group. Logan nodded and opened the book writing down what patton said. " see that would be a negative. If by the end of the week the negatives outweigh the positives we will stop the pills and try something new." logan said well closing the book. They all nod and look back at thomas " ok, thx guys i really needed some help with that. You all can go now." thomas said well smiling. The others nodded " it's what we're here for!" patton said before sinking down along with the others. When the others came up into the living room were met with a sleeping emo on the couch. They looked at one another with a small smile. Virgil was never relaxed enough to sleep anywhere but his room. Logan wrote it down well patton got a blanket and layed it across the sleeping emo. Roman just looked at vigil for a moment before he felt a small pang in his chest. A blush spread across his face as he quickly turned his face away from virgil. Roman was confused as to what the feeling in his chest was, it was a warm and embarrassing feeling that he almost couldn't describe. Virgil slightly shifted on the couch so he was facing the back of the couch. The others smile well they all headed off to go and do whatever work they needed done, leaving roman i the living room with a lump in his throat and a strange feeling in his chest. Roman turned and looked at virgil one more time before quickly walking up stairs to his room.
