"Look out! Virgil's gone nuts!" Patton screamed, hiding behind Emile.

"What?! Does he need coffee?!" Remy yelled from the kitchen.

"HOW DID YOU ALL GET INTO MY- you know what, i'm going to my room" Lucia chuckled.

"Virgil, stop it, halloween was like, last week you need to calm do-"

"SSSSSSSSSSSS" he hissed, clawing at Janus, who jumped back.

"Are you a spider or a cat? Jesus Chr-"

"LOOK OUT HE'S JUMPING!" Remus screeched from across the living room.

Janus dodged Virgil by a centimeter, causing him to face plant on the couch.

Virgil pouted, "you can't put the Christmas tree up! Thanksgiving hasn't even come yet!"

"Wish I could say the same for myself" Remus said, wiggling his eyebrows mischievously.

Patton looked at Remus with confusion, "what?"

"Well,-"

"GOODNIGHT SAN DEIGO!" Logan screeched over Remus' voice, sheilding Patton's ears and throwing his flashcard to the side.

"Really Logan?" Remy asked.

"Okay Virgil, oh my god, we won't put it up, just slowly put down the ornament hooks, and nobody gets hurt."

"You were going to hurt me?" Virgil asked quietly with a deep frown, setting down the hooks as he stared down at his feet with a sniffle.

"You made him cry! Way to go Janus!"

"HEY I DIDN't-"

"Haha! Gotcha!" Virgil smirked suddenly, high fiving Patton, "you should've seen the looks on your faces-"

"Oh that's IT!"

"Don't you think we've been here long enough? I mean, news reports are being completely focused on Andrew! He just texted saying he broke out! Who would even notice if we came back to society? Besides, one can only play so much animal crossing" Ram complained.

"Hmm. We are running low on chips.." Roman said to himself.

"And condoms!" Kurt added.

".....I'm not even going to dignify that with a response" Roman sighed, grabbing car keys.

"Alright, let's go"

"Wait are you serious Ro?" Kurt asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Because, I don't know, we're criminals-"

"Oh come on, who's going to notice? Just put a ski mask on."

"thaT'S EVEN WORSE!"

"I bet he cheated" Janus said, offering to the conversation.

"You think everyone cheats when something doesn't go your way" Virgil smirked.

"Well you're gay-"

"Wow" Virgil deadpanned.

The conversation ended there, when suddenly there was a newsflash.

"We are live on the spot of the scene of the crime everybody's been talking about lately, Andrew Cloud and Reagan Sleep's child murders. Mr. Cloud escaped from prison recently, and has a long history of murder, and seems to have an accomplice now. How long has she been with him? We may never know. They fled the scene just as police arrived, leaving us with only one message. "You may be next." Chappok, i'm turning this over to you, do you have any comments on this matter?"

"Well Jane, all I know is that this is a horrible man who could be beginning his next murder as we speak. I believe the police should be involved, and put an end to his reign of terror."

These two talked for a while about them. They told everybody about the prison escape and what police are doing to track him down.

A/n: TW FOR ABUSE AND PUKINH RIGHT HERE! GO TO BOLD TEXT TO SKIP, THIS IS JUST ANGST I PUT IN FOR THE FEELS!!

Understandably, Virgil was freaking out. His father. His abusive, manipulative, serial killer father had escaped from jail for the second time.

They were never going to get rid of him! He curled in upon himself, wrapping his arms around his stomach with a shaky breath. He couldn't breathe, there was nothing he could do but lay there helplessly as everyone watched him sit there, quivering and crying.

He was going to come back, he was going to take him. He was going to hurt his mother and his friends, and—and—

He felt someone place a hand on his back—even though he screamed and jumped away, it wasn't what he expected. It wasn't a harsh but sloppy hit, it wasn't a calm before the storm warning before he was going to be beat into he ground—if was firm, but gentle and loving.

He heard voices yelling over each other but all of them just meshed and jumbled together to create a room full of loud noises and pain.

He was having memories. They were so vivid. It was like he was there. In the bathroom with his father. Hands all over his body, touches that were worse than any hit that could ever have been laid upon him.

  His father, yanking his hair and forcing him to throw his head back as he leaned down and whispered, breath hot with whiskey, do it.

Fat

Ugly

Worthless

Nobody would care id you just withered away

Virgil felt himself doing exactly what he did in the flashback—with tears running down his face, he shoved his fingers down his throat and gagged. He could feel his stomach, full though he ate nothing. He could feel himself wanting this as well—wanting to just be empty.

He was pulled from his panic attack when he realized what he was doing. He felt it in his throat first—fingers so harsh, being shoved back there, bile rising in his throat like acid. He was on his knees, shaking and sobbing and puking, "i—i'm doing it! Don't hurt me don't hurt me—"

"Virgil!" Lucia exclaimed, shocked and worried, tears of her own running down her face. She reached out but he was quick to retaliate.

"Don't hurt—" he saw her hand out of the corner of his eye. He screamed and jumped away, "DON'T TOUCH ME!" And began to son, stomach acid running down his chin.

"Virgil!" Janus exclaimed, on his knees in front of him in an instant, "it's okay, it's alright—everything is going to be fine, it will all be okay...you're having those bad memories, just let them pass..shh...shhh..."

"J-Janus?" Virgil asked through sobs, before jumping into his arms, face in his chest and crying, "J-Jan..." he whispered, falling limp on his chest, sagging against his lover's body.

Remus looked on with sadness and complete and utter shock as he joined Janus to give Virgil comfort and forehead kisses.

And Lucia, his own mother, just stood there feeling guilty and useless, because no matter how much Virgil liked to joke and pretend he was fine..there was no doubt about it that what he had experienced was horrible.

ANGST OVER!!!! BACK TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM!!!!!!!!

"Yes, I saw the news Katlin! Oh my goodness, what if he comes for me? For us, even! He knows how close I am with you! We must protect the children-"

"Teenagers" Remus corrected from the front door, waving Logan, Patton, Remy, and Emile a good bye. It seemed those four were always together.

"Yes, the teenagers" Lucia rolled her eyes fondly. "Oh my goodness, Jack and Rose! What if he goes after them?!"

"Lucia, he seems to be messing with you. He's only been killing complete random's. He's probably trying to get us paranoid..and it's working!"

"Well, you know what else works? These elbows. He comes anywhere near you? BAM! Broken nose."

"Lucia, over everybody else, you need to worry about yourself, and your baby. You have a chance to bring more life, more love into this world, and that's amazing! I think you need to find somewhere safe, he knows where you live! Do you know how heartbroken everyone would be if- GAH-"

Before Lucia could comment on the chessy bullshit of the "bringing life into this world" (which is already over populated) The phone seemed to drop on the other end and there was a muffled screaming, heavy breathing, and the spilling of some sort of thick liquid pitter pattering on the floor.

There was a cough and a gasp, a loud thump, heavy footsteps, and a slamming door.

The phone was on speaker so it was very clear.

Everyone in the room fell silent.

"Mom, what just happened?" Virgil asked quietly, tired from having just woken up.

"Mom? MOM!" Remus yelled through the phone, "What just happened?!"

There was no response.

"I'm going-" Janus grabbed Remus' wrist, "no you aren't. We're calling the police."

"Already on it" Virgil said, "...Actually, mom you do it, police are scary..."

Lucia grabbed the phone, and began talking to the officers, and they explained that they were on their way.
