I'm Not So Silent Anymore

Broken (6)

Virgils POV

I was taken to the hospital. All that was really needed to be done was to set my foot and wrap it. I have to admit I was very scared for my foot to be set. Patton sat in a chair beside the hospital bed I was in. I think it was obvious that I was nervous, because he reached out and grabbed my hand. I flinched when he did and looked at him weirdly, searching for an explanation, seen as I only met him a few hours ago.
"Physical contact stimulates calmness. Logan told me that." Patton said with a shy smile. I accepted that. It did make me feel kinda better, though I of course wasn't gonna let that show. I few minutes later the doctor knocked and came in. Patton let go of my hand when he did, as to not embarrass me, which I was thankful of. The doctor stood beside my bed and asked me yes or no questions, so I could just nod it shake my head in response. Then it was time to set my foot.

My breath quickened as the doctor moved down to my foot. He grabbed my ankle. Patton put his hand on my shoulder. I tensed, and with one quick movement of the doctors hands, my foot was snapped back into place. I made a small cry of pain, but it didnt hurt as bad as I thought it would hurt. Next they wrapped my foot tightly, and gave me cruches to my size. After about 25 minutes of practicing, I got good enough with the crutches to not fall, all the time. Then, finally after about three hours at the hospital, I got to go hom- I mean, to the house that I moved into. I get into a car that Roman drove up here. He helps me in, and we are off.

When I get back to the house I plop down on the couch. Patton makes sure I am comfortable before he makes his way into the kitchen to warm up dinner. After a while I make my way to the dining table. Everyone else is eating. I cant bring myself to eat it, so Patton and the others dont make me. After a few hours of watching tv with the others, I decide to head to bed. The others help me get up the stairs, and I make my way inside my room. I wipe off my mascara, and flop on my bed. The cast on my foot is so hot and stuffy. I dont think I'm gonna be able to sleep. I close my eyes and think. I miss my uncle. If I think about it in the right ways, my family is almost like this stupid foot of mine. Broken. But, I guess things can heal. With new people, and a fresh start. Maybe I can have a new family. One that appreciates me and...and loves me. No! What am I saying. I'm just making it harder on myself. How can anyone love me. It's completely out of the picture. Just do what you usually do. Shut off all emotions, and then when the betrayal comes... you cant feel anything.

My uncle always said he was proud of me. Even though I didnt even do anything. I wonder if he still felt that right before I... no, stop. Dont go down that road again. I cant, and I wont. Shut off the feelings. Shut them off so you cant feel anything. Dont get close to anyone so they cant betray you. Dont let your guard down so they can penetrate you. Dont show fear, becuase that's when they close in. Dont remember, becuase then you cant look to the present. Dont dont dont.

Days went on like this. Eat breakfast, paint and draw, eat lunch, do something with the others, eat dinner, watch tv, go to bed, fall asleep, wake up, stay awake until morning. I got at most 4 hours of sleep at night But I dont care. I barely ate either. But I wasn't that hungry.

Logan and Roman say a weird man named Earnest came by and did some weird things. I can only hope its not the Earnest I'm thinking about, or else we are in major trouble, and it's all my fault. I just hope nothing bad happens.

Earnest's POV

Who does that man think he is? Pushing me away and insulting me! It is curious though. Why didnt my power work on him? Very curious. Anyway, if Virgil thinks he is safe in that big house with other people, well then, he needs to think again. My nephew has always been... naive. Especially when he lived with that disgusting brother of mine. What was his name again? Remy?Good radiance. And what a horrible name as well. But I do have to give a few points over to Virgil, seen as he did escape my other brothers cruel grasp. So, even then, I have to do the job for them, like always.
