DEAR JOURNAL

YEAR FIVE

TW-injuries, blood, gore, death

Three years later 5 years before present day.

Dear journal,

My life is a literal hell. The music is gone. I can't move, I sleep, I have no clothes, I have no bed, no blanket, no water, no food. I am guessing that because I am not really a human I can't die so I don't need food or water. I don't really know how long it has been but at least Dolin comes by once in a while to patch me up. He looks worse and worse every time he doesn't move like he is sore but he certainly looks the part. Remus supervises him whenever he comes by to make sure he doesn't give me food or talks to me. I have a spot on the floor in the corner of my room where I sleep and my bathroom is still functional but it doesn't have clean water that I can drink from anymore.

I hear the door open and I shakily lift my head to see who it is.

"R-roman?"I croak out as he lifts me up. He picks me up bridal style and teleports me somewhere I don't recognize and sets me down on a white couch. I look around and it kind of looks like the dark side house but it is a little cleaner. A man with a blue polo comes running up to me and kneels down next to me. I see Logan watching from his spot in the kitchen.

"Oh s-s-s-so t-t-that's w-what a kitchen looks l-l-like" I say and I laugh. I haven't laughed for who knows how long no one else laughs and they all look so serious.

"Virgil I am so sorry this happened to you" Patton says as he takes my hand. I'm sure that it's killing him to not be able to give me a hug but if he didn't I think I would shatter into a million pieces.

"W-w-w-when d-di-did you w-w-w-wake up" I ask the crying side.

"About two years ago but I'm not important right now" I look around the room I'm in and realize there is a face missing from our group. I sit up and try to look around more but someone's hands stop me.

"W-w-where is Dolin?" I ask while trying to get free of the hands pushing me down.

"He is our distracting Remus so we could get you out and you aren't going back this time" Roman says. 'So he's the one keeping me down'.

"No he can't go back there" I gasp. I didn't stutter at all during that sentence. To be frank whenever I talk about Dolin I stutter so much less.

"We know but neither can you and we need to get you as far away as possible. Right now we are in a man called Picani's house in the imagination. But we need to get past the dragon witch's lair in order to get to Remy's place so you can lay low until it is time to take him down" Logan spits out the word like it is covered in poison.

"We should be able to teleport past the dragon witch without any trouble but then we need to spend the night in the cave right outside of it which means we can't make any noise, then after that we are home free and you will be free"Roman says after I stop struggling against his arms. Patton's self control is gone and he tackles me in a giant hug. I wince but then melt into it.

"Come on let's get you a proper meal then we will teleport to the cave" Patton says as he retreats into the brightly light kitchen. Logan goes off to help him with food and I watch them prepare the food. It's amazing how all of these different things they are putting into the dish are going to work together to make a perfect taste. I realize that I'm staring and I manage to pull my eyes away just in time to see Roman smiling at me, his cheeks dusted red. He jerks his head so he is looking away from me and I tilt my head in confusion.

"Foods ready" Patton yells from the kitchen. I go to stand up but I get up too fast and fall over. I feel my head collide with the floor then everything goes black.

Roman's pov

Dear journal,

I see Virgil fall and I run to get to him. I turned him so I could see his face and his eyes were shut. 'Damnit our plan was going perfectly' I lifted him up bridal style and noticed how light the poor boy is. 'When was the last time you ate?' I set him down on the couch making sure to be careful of any possible injuries he might have. Patton comes running into the room and Logan is far far behind. Ever since Pat woke up Logan has been terrified to let him out of his sight. Patton sits down next to the sleeping boy and grabs his hand tightly.

"This poor kiddo has been through so much, we should have gotten him out the first year he came here." Patton says as he wobbles and his head drops down. Now it is Logan's turn to run around the house like a crazy person. Logan runs up to Patton and wraps his arms around his sleeping boyfriend's torso. Sometimes when Patton uses too much energy he passes out. The first time this happened we both thought he was slipping back into his coma and Logan was a mess for the three days Patton was out for.

"I am going to take Pat up to his room please watch Virgil and make him eat when he wakes up," Logan says as he lifts Patton up and brings him up stairs, I hear him grumbling under his breath about Patton over exerting himself. I wish I could do something to help him wake up faster. I really like the kid, I barely know him but whenever I think of him my cheeks end up red and I end up flustered. He is adorable all of the time and I really missed him these past three years. I have no ideas what kind of hell he has been through. He is basically a emo teenager with a really damaged past. It's really endearing, but I don't have a chance in hell with him, he is going away and I will probably never hear from him also there is Dolin who seems to be the only one able to bring down his walls. I get a bucket of water from the bathroom and start to get all of the dried blood off of his arms and face. For a kid who spent three years having who knows what happened to him he is in good shape at least to the untrained eye but I know better. I lift up his shirt and remove his hoodie and I gasp. His body is covered in scars and dried blood. I quickly clean him off and put his shirt back on his small pale body. He starts to stir as Logan comes down the stairs and flops down onto the chair across from the TV.

"I love that man with all my heart but I swear he is going to drive me to drink" Logan says as he takes off his glances and rubs the bridge of his nose. I chuckle and turn on the TV. It shows what is going on with Thomas right now. He is currently on stage in rehearsal for a new show he got the lead for. I hear shifting coming from virgil's spot on the couch.
