Recap: So, in the last chapter while Roman was in the middle of dying, when Logan had picked up Roman and was planning on taking him to the hospital (why?) When Virgil had woke up to the mess and an angry Logan, all he could think to do was help Logan but that turned out to be a grieving scene . But let's not forget to mention that Virgil was the one who called the ambulance! When Patton woke up he didn't seem to remember anything until he looked around and saw the mess, all of the brightness being sucked out of him.

When the ambulance finally arrived and took Roman, there was a thick silence between everyone until Patton asked who was going to clean up first when Logan simply took initiative, leaving Virgil to spiral in his thoughts and Patton......?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Virgil was shaking, he wasn't sure how he was going to live with himself if Roman died and knowing that he did it... 

He was sitting on the couch and he couldn't stop looking at his hands, Roman's blood still stained them. 

Patton sighed when he saw Virgil in a trance, the poor kids hair was black with streaks of red.. he put his hand on Virgil's shoulder causing the younger to jump and look around the room like he had forgotten where he was at.

"Virgil?" Patton's voice was soft as he searched the anxious boy's eyes, he found nothing but fear and confusion. "Virgil... it's okay I'm-"

Before Patton was able to finish, Virgil jumped up and slapped Patton's hand off of his shoulder, he backed away, hyperventilating, fear still drilling through him. "W-Where I am I?"

Patton was shocked... he began to wonder if all of this was because of the trauma from stabbing Roman. PTSD maybe, maybe not... he didn't really know a lot about that stuff.

Patton slowly walked up to Virgil and held his hand out. "We're at Roman's house..." The more Patton searched Virgil's eyes, the more he realized how scared Virgil was... how scared and confused and lost he seemed. "Virgil... where do you remember being last?"

He could tell that Virgil was trying to detach and isolate himself from the situation, Virgil always converted to isolating himself in his hoodie when he had panic attacks and that's what was happening now... the poor kid had pulled the hood of his hoodie over his head and was making the hoodie as tight around him as possible. "I-....."

Virgil looked around and you could basically see the life being brought back into him as tears began to slip out of his eyes. "I- I hurt - I hurt Roman..."

Patton knew he couldn't lie now, but he could comfort his anxious little friend. "It appears that you did Vee... but he's going to be okay, he's going to make it through this and so are we."

Virgil just nodded and fell into Patton's arms as the father-like friend hugged him, Virgil didn't really believe what Patton had said but if he could make himself believe it to help with the pain.. it'd be worth it in the long run.

It had been a few hours and everyone had gotten cleaned up, they were sitting in the waiting room waiting of course for some news about Roman.

They had been waiting for hours when the doctor had finally walked out, their expression unreadable which only worried everyone more.

The Doctor had cleared their throat and looked around at the three men sitting together, worried to the point of possible sickness. "Which one of you is with Roman Prince?"
