YEAR TWO

TW-remus being a dick

One year later 8 years before present day

Dear journal,

It has been one year since that day and two years since I was formed. I miss Dolin, I have had a lot of time to think about him and everyone I do my cheeks warm up and turn pink. I have decided I want to live. I haven't heard music playing in a long while. I think Roman is upset about something I don't know what though. I stopped keeping track of days on my arms instead I paint a new design on my wall everyday. It keeps my mind off of the fact that I am trapped in here and Dolin sometimes sneaks paint tubes and brushes into my food. I hear him arguing with Remus a lot more often lately. I can never make out what is being said though. No doubt it is about me. Their arguments always end with a door slamming shut.

I look around at my walls and see all of the designs I have painted throughout the year. I see wolves, storm clouds and even the occasional snake. The snacks make me smile. They remind me of Dolin and his bright yellow eye. I hear the door downstairs open and close. Dolin is leaving, I get worried because when Dolin leaves Remus does in here and, whiles lets just say my body has more scars on it from him then my human calendar from last year. I hear my door unlock and I brace myself for Remus to come in here and add onto my collection of marks. I hide behind the bed trying to make myself as small as possible. Less places to hit right?

I see a pair of shoes walk up to me and I look up. I see a flash of yellow and I jump up and give him a huge hug. Dolin hugs me back and notices all of my paintings.

"These are really good V"

"Y-y-y-y-yeah I guess b-b-b-but I had a lot of t-t-t-t-time t-to practice"I say with a light chuckle as Dolin reaches up and touch's the painting I did of the symbol on his door. We go downstairs and Dolin starts to clean me up and hands me new clothes. There is a black hoodie with dolins, two headed snake symbol on the shoulder and a new pair of black ripped jeans. I get changed and eat a meal then we walk out.

"I wanna try something," Dolin says after we get a couple feet away from the house. I nod them he grabs on to me. He pulls me close and my face is inches away from his. He leans in and places his lips on mine. I gasp out in shock then kiss back. After a few moments that seemed to last forever we pulled apart. I look around and the world looks different. We literally teleported to the river.

"W-where a-a-are we?"

"That was what I really wanted to try but yeah kissing works too"

"W-w-wait w-we t-t-t-te-te"I scowl and Dolin pulls me closer.

"It's ok we can work on the stutter now that I can go to your room without Remus knowing. I only wanted to try it after I could be one hundred percent sure he couldn't catch me"I nodded and then I saw the blurry border and White House. I look up to Dolin and he nods his head back at me. I take off running towards the river. I see the three other people that mean the most to me, then something clicks, I only see two people standing at the river. Logan and Roman are there but no Patton.

"W-w-where is p-p-p-Patton"I ask after we all say hi and hug. Logan and Roman look at each other and Logan has tears forming in his eyes. They both look at the White House.

"He has been in a comatose state since Remus hit him." Logan says as he takes off his glasses and whips his eyes dry.

"We can bring him out if you want," Roman asks and I look towards the White House. It looks a little faded and less lively and the two men look like a mess.

"Y-yes p-p-p-p-p-please" Roman walks off and we sit in silence until he returns wheeling a hospital bed that has the cheery side laying on it. His face is pale and dull and his eyes are shut.

"I knew it was bad. I just didn't know he was like this" Dolin says and he grabs mine and the sleeping side's hand.

"T-t-t-t-th-th-th-this i-is a-a-a-a-all m-my fault,"

"Hey light sides" my face pales unlike last time I didn't recognize the voice of the darkly dressed man.

"Dolin, what the hell is he doing out of his room?" Remus says as he walks up to us. Logan looks over at Patton's unconscious body then snaps his fingers and they both teleport inside the blurry border. Roman follows soon after. I'm glad they are trying to avoid confrontation with Remus, I don't want what happened to Patton to happen to anyone else. Dolin pushes me behind him but I slap his hand away.

"Virgil get behind me now"

"N-n-n-n-no"

"Aww look at the two little love birds. It makes me wonder if he has been out with you before" at the sound of his voice any and all bravery I had before leaves me. I make myself small and inch behind Dolin. His voice just brings back every time he came into my room from the past year. Remus notices my fear and chuckles at me using his eyes to drill a hole right into my soul. He snaps his fingers and we appear back in my room the door shuts and locks. I hear Dolin and Remus argue downstairs. I press my ear against the door, Dolin is losing the argument. I hear a loud bam!! And a loud scream follows. I don't want to remember the rest of the day.
