Virgil's POV

As soon as I walked into the house I could smell it. The same smell of Whiskey that has been surrounding my house. He was drinking again. Its no surprise... he has been drinking ever since he lost his job, He is sitting on the couch, many bottles around him. You are probably wondering, Who is He, well, he refers to my Father. ever since he lost his job and I came out to him, he hasn't been the same. He drinks 24 hours a day and yells at me whenever he sees me.

He turns around and sees me, "Hey there, how is my gay piece of crap today?" he is usually sarcastic, so I know he doesn't care how I feel.

"We have dorms at school. Im moving out. Happy?" skipping all the small talk, i start walking to my room immediately, not wanting to see what he would do.

"Very, Finally my Mistake of a child will be out of my house. While you are at it, maybe just die, It's about time" I hear his laugh, low and scary. I go to my room, Numb to the 'go die' comments. I start throwing all my stuff into a bag. I flop down on my bed.

Then, the door flies open, and my father is standing there. "I can't let you leave without having a nice... warm... goodbye" I knew he didn't mean nice, or warm. he takes a few steps to me. This was new, he would usually stay away from me, afraid my 'condition' (being gay) would rub off on him. that's all he called it, a condition, that can be fixed with proper treatment.

"stay away," I say, flipping over in my bed.

"No can do" he grabs my arm and pulls me out of my bed, im weak physically so I can't get him off. he pushes me against the wall. "I just want you to know, that you won't be missed.... not. one. bit." he puts his face very close to mine.

"i-i know" my breathing starts to go rapid. he smiles like he just achieved something, and then, punches me as hard as he could in the stomach. he lets me go and I fall to the floor, clutching my stomach. My head was luckily not hurting because the nurse gave me some medicine, but the punch causes my ribs to hurt again. Breathing became harder

"get out of my house, gay trash. for someone who is more emo than whatever that dumb band is that you listen to, you really love rainbows." he kicks me one more time before walking out of my room. ugh.... pain... everywhere, cant........ breathe......

Knock Knock Knock

I wake up, I don't remember falling asleep. I look up and see my mother. She isn't as bad as dad, but she still isn't great. 

"dinner time, my little mistake" I sigh, standing up. I sit down on my bed, I don't have to go downstairs, they won't care if I do

I fall asleep, done with today. 

~~Time Skip~~

The next morning I woke up to my same alarm, 3 am sharp, but then I see the bag and am reminded of the same situation im in. I get to finally be free of my parents, but im gonna be living with 3.... crazy peeps. I grab my bag and run downstairs, trying to leave before my parents wake up.

"where are you going?" His big booming voice calls out. 

"school" I reply dryly.

"at 5 am?" he says, getting up

"yup!" I start walking to the door again, grabbing an apple before I go

"get your butt back here" he walks a little closer to me

"why? im going to school, living in a dorm, and you guys can live without your little mistake" after that I leave, I was close enough to the door that I could leave with only a few steps. I heard his growls from outside the door
just a few steps out of my door and I hear, "Hey! Emo Freak!" oh great. I turn my head to see a random guy. who the heck is he? "did you like getting pushed over yesterday?" what? I don't remember that happening. I guess that is why my knee is bruised and hurts like hell.

"I loved it. it felt great, now I have a dorm to get to" I start to walk off but I feel a hand on my shoulder

"you can't escape that easily" his grip tightens and he pulls me to the ground, i hit my back pretty hard on the ground. 

"please leave me alone" I push him off of me, or at least try, but his grip is tight. 

"no can d-" he gets cut off by another voice

"Hey! leave him alone!" i recognize the voice, wait... was that the kid who I met in the nurse's office. Did he say his name? 

after a few seconds, I get my answer, there he is, a light blue shirt and a gray cardigan around his shoulders, somehow talking to the bullies. after a few minutes, the bullies walk away. then he walks up to me, "you ok kiddo?" I stand up and grab my suitcase,

"yeah, im fine" my back hurts but its nothing new

"ok, wanna walk to our dorm together?" he asks smiling at me

"uh sure, what is your name actually, I seemed to of forgotten" I say, trying not to make a fool of myself.

"my name is Patton, Patton fluff" he smiles a soft smiling, matching his last name. 

"Nice to meet you, im Virgil-" he cuts me off

"Xander, you already told me your name silly" he laughs, well he giggles actually

we start walking to the dorm, Patton has a small handheld suitcase. we arrive and open the door, no one else has arrived so I walked to my room, putting all my stuff away, when my knee starts to kill and buckles up
