REMUS POV

I exit the school following close behind my parents. "Father I-" I start.

"You shut your trap. I don't want to hear a WORD from you. Just wait until we get home." Is my Father's quick response. I go quiet and stay quiet. I get into the backseat of the car and buckle, staring out the window of the car.

~At his house~

I unbuckle and get out of the car, walking into the house before my parents. I stand only 5 feet into the house and wait to hear the door close. I tense up preparing. My Father's hands harshly grab my shoulders and I get turned around and slammed into the wall. I flinch but not as bad as I used to.

"What the actual HELL were you thinking getting into a fight?! Now you have a broken fucking nose! THAT COSTS MONEY!" My Father screams loudly. I don't speak, knowing better than to speak when my Father is like this, no one else should be speaking. My Mother only stands behind him with her arms crossed. I stare at her, only to get my chin grabbed tightly, pain shoots through my face as it is violently turned towards my Father once again.

"YOU LOOK AT ME WHEN IM SPEAKING TO YOU!" I move my arm to my side getting prepared to be thrown to the ground any second. As planned I get thrown to the ground. "You... YOU KNOW BETTER THAN TO DO SOMETHING THAT WILL COST US MONEY!"

I slightly nod my head. "Stand up." My Father demands. I obey and stand avoiding his eyes. Looking into his eyes makes him think that I think I'm better than him, and just like that x2 the beating.

"You will go to your room and think about what you've done." SLAP.

The sting burns through my cheek as I walk up the stairs to my room. I go to slam the door but I stop myself, knowing that my Father will come up those stairs, then I'll go down them. I close it and lock it. Maybe I deserve it. I mean, I kill people. I shrug and gently rub my cheek trying to ease the pain away.

I lay on my bed, too tired to change. I pull out my phone and check the time. I sigh, bored with life.

PATTON POV

I stand in the same spot and watch Remus walk to his locker grab his stuff then leave. Virgil walks out soon after and sees me. His expression changes completely and gets quickly grabs his stuff from his locker then runs up to me, pulling me into a hug. "I'm so sorry Patton... if I had known his intentions from the start then this wouldn't have ever happened- oh my god... this is all my fault, isn't it?! I'm so sorry I-I should have known I'm a failure as a frie-"

"It's not your fault. You didn't know and neither did I. I just have to be more careful next time I guess..." I interrupt Virgil, trying to calm him down. My voice sounds dead and monotone. I tighten my grip around the burette. "'ll be fine..." Those words sound empty coming out of my mouth. Like a lie. Will I be okay?

I shake my thoughts and smile at Virgil hoping it looks convincing enough. "Anyways. We should head to class. We'll get in trouble if we're late. Virgil sighs and nods, starting to walk to class. I stare at the ground as I walk. Did Remus really fake that video..? "H-hey Vee?" I stop and keep looking at the ground. Virgil turns around and looks at me

"Hm?" He hums back in response.

"Why was... why was LoLo yelling at you and Remus...? Why did he hit Remus?" I ask, keeping my gaze at the ground.

"Let's get to class..-" He tries to change the subject. I look up at him with tears in my eyes and stand my ground.

"Answer my question..." I say, trying not to cry. Virgil's eyes widen and he sighs.

"He was claiming that Remus faked the video and Remus denied it, Logan got mad and punched him." He says, avoiding eye contact. He's leaving something out.

"You're leaving something out. Logan ran off and he looked like he was crying..." I say, pity filling my tone and expression. Virgil sighs and turns, continuing towards the classroom again. I don't move. "I'm not going to class until you tell me everything," I say, standing my ground. Virgil stops again.

"He said that he loves you and that he would never do anything to hurt you. He says that and we both know that it's bullshit because if he loved you he wouldn't have cheated on you." Virgil says, trying to stay calm. 

"But... what if the video was actually fake..." I say, quieter than I wanted to.

Virgil continues walking forward. "Remus wouldn't do that." He responds.

"And I thought that Logan wouldn't ever lie to me!" I cry out, binging my hand up to my mouth to silence the cries escaping it. Virgil stops once again but only for a few seconds then he continues walking without saying anything more. He turns and walks into the classroom.

I need to see Picani... I think to myself and I turn to the office. I walk in and the desk worker looks down at me. "Can I help you?" She glances at the clock. "You're late for class." She raises an eyebrow.

"I know I am... I need to see Mr. Picani..." I say quietly, avoiding eye contact. Her expression changes a bit and she points towards a door.

"He's in there. Take your time, I'll inform your teacher. Which class do you have right now?" She asks in a sweet voice.

"Uh-... Mr. Crofters..." (LOGAN'S DAD!!! OOOOOO I SMELL PLOT TWIST!!!!! kinda TwT)

"Alright. I'll inform him about this." She smiles softly at me.

"Thanks..." I say quietly. I turn and start walking over to the door she pointed at. I knock. Not even two seconds late the door swings open. Picani, my uncle stands in the doorway smiling brightly. He looks down at me and his smile fades a bit.

"Patton? What are doing here? You're late for class!" He says, a worried look washing over his face. He puts a hand behind my back and guides me in. "Is something wrong?" He asks, closing the door and motioning to a chair. 

I sit in it and only nod in response. His face twists in confusion. He sits in his chair opposite of me.
