Chapter 9- All alone (Michael in the Bathroom-Be More Chill)

Hey guys. So for those of you who know this song, you will know that there are some references to non PG things so why I tried to alter them as much as I could. Some I had to leave in however as there was no way around it so here are just a few trigger warnings for y'all but if you know the song really well already, you should be fine.

TW: Drinking alcohol, an implied panic attack, drugs.

So yeah. With that out of the way, let's get into this. Enjoy 💖

Meanwhile

All of the sides had left the empty classroom, makeup removed, and were now back in the main hall where the disco was being held. There were large crowds of people everywhere you looked and there didn't really seem to be a good place to hide so they all decided that it was best to just try to blend in with the crowd and just hope for the best

"Okay everybody. So in order to minimize our chances of being caught, it's best if we split up so that they cannot find all of us at once. Now I suggest going off separately but I suppose that being in pairs should be acceptable" Logan told the group and nodding, they all ran off, Roman by himself and Patton dragging Logan away. Virgil stayed where he was for a brief moment before running after Logan and Patton. He really didn't want to be alone, not with so many strangers around. He knew that he had to spend this time with Patton. Even if Patton didn't return his feelings of love, he was still Virgil's best friend and Virgil still wanted to stick by him.

When he caught up to Logan and Patton, he gently tapped Patton on the shoulder, causing Patton to turn around to face him. "Oh hey kiddo. I didn't see you there. What's up?" He asked in his usual cheery and bubbly voice.

"Um hey Pat. I was wondering if...um...maybe I could hang out with you. I mean you are my best friend after all" Virgil rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"Oh...um...well this is very awkward but...well...you see I kinda told Logan I'd hang out with him since he is my new boyfriend and everything and as he said earlier, we need to try to split up as much as possible. Sorry kiddo" Virgil's heart broke at the word boyfriend but he was used to all the heartache by now. However, it still didn't soften the ache he felt.

"Please Pat. Please" Virgil begged him but Patton shook his head.

"Sorry kiddo but no means no. Besides, do you really want to put up with my stupid face?" Patton asked sourly, which reminded Virgil of what he had said to Patton earlier that day. It reminded him of the insult he hurled at Patton. He could never forgive himself for that stupid mistake he made. He hadn't realised how much that small word had hurt Patton until now when their friend ship was on the line

"Patton, you know I didn't me-" but before he could apologise, Patton had already ran off again. Tears brimmed his eyes and began to run down his face. He had just lost his crush and best friend all in one day and it was all his fault. Thoughts clouding his head and tears clouding his vision, he realised that he had to escape from the large crowd of people. Unlike a few seconds ago, he actually wanted to be alone now. Hiding his head in his hood, he ran upstairs towards the male toilets, locking the actual door to get in. He then locked himself in one of the cubicles. Closing the toilet's lid, he crouched down on the toilet seat and began to sing quietly to himself, his head now buried in his hands and tears still pouring down his cheeks.

"I am hanging in the bathroom at the biggest party of the fall.
I could stay right here or disappear, and nobody'd even notice at all.
I'm a creeper in a bathroom 'cause my buddy kinda left me alone,
But I'd rather fake pee than stand awkwardly, or pretend to check a text on my phone.
Everything felt fine when I was half of a pair.
Now through some fault of mine, there's no other half there.
Now I'm just Virgil in the bathroom, Virgil in the bathroom, at a party.
Forget how long it's been.
I'm just Virgil in the bathroom, Virgil in the bathroom at a party.
No you can't come in!
I'm waiting it out 'til it's time to leave and picking at grout as I softly grieve.
I'm just Virgil who you don't know, Virgil flyin' solo, Virgil in the bathroom by himself.
All by himself.
I am hiding, but he's out there, just ignoring all our history.
Memories get erased, and I'll get replaced, with a newer, cooler version of me.
And I hear a drunk girl sing along to Whitney through the door... I wanna dance with somebody!
And my feelings sink, 'cause it makes me think: now there's no one to help me out with drunk girls anymore!
Now it's just Virgil in the bathroom, Virgil in the bathroom at a party.
I couldn't stop my fears.
Virgil in the bathroom, Virgil in the bathroom at a party as I choke back the tears.
I'll wait as long as I need, until my face is dry or I'll just blame it on no sleep, or something in my eye!
I'm just Virgil who you don't know, Virgil flyin' solo,
Virgil in the bathroom by himself!"  Suddenly, he began to hear people banging on the door, trying to burst through. This only increased his panic as he began to imitate the noises they were making.

"Knock, knock, knock, knock!
They're gonna start to shout soon.
Knock, knock, knock, knock!
Oh heck yeah, I'll be out soon"

"Knock, knock, knock, knock" He heard the people outside yelling, imitating the sound they were making just like he had.

"It sucks you left me here alone.." He wished that Patton was there to see the pain he caused but at the same time, he knew that it was partly his own fault and if Patton knew, he would only be more concerned for Virgil and Virgil didn't want to worry his bes...Patton. 

"Knock, knock, knock, knock" They yelled again.

"Here in this teenage battle zone.."

"Clang, clang, clang, clang" This time, the noises they were yelling and imitating sounded more violent.

"I feel the pressure blowing up.."

"Bang, bang, bang, bang"

"My big mistake was showing up.." He told himself as he threw open the toilet door and turned on the tap, throwing the cold water in his face, hoping it would stop his tears but it only made his makeup run even more than it already was.

"Splash, splash, splash, splash" He imitated the sound of the water he was throwing on his face, hoping that it would sooth him and calm him down, which it actually ended up doing.

"I throw some water in my face and I am in a better place.
I go to open up the door but I can't hear knocking anymore" His tears had completely gone now but as he creaked the door open, the people who had caused the noises had now completely vanished out of sight  so he shut the door again and slid down it, back leaning up against it.

"And I can't help but yearn for a different time.
And then I look in the mirror,
And the present is clearer,
And there's no denying, I'm just..
At a party.
Is there a sadder sight than..." Virgil then began to softly hum the song to himself before continuing to sing. 

"Virgil in the bathroom at a party.
This is a heinous night.
I wish I stayed at home in bed 'till the crack of dawn or wish I offed myself instead,
Wish I was never born!
I'm just Virgil who's a loner so he must be a stoner.
Rides a PT Cruiser, man he's such a loser.
Virgil flyin' solo, who you think that you know.
Virgil in the bathroom by himself.
All, by himself.
All, by himself.
All you know about me is my name
Awesome party, I'm so glad I came"
