Part 7
Triggers: Everything from the past that I have mentioned (I'm just lazy and don't wanna write them)
"Welcome to group therapy! We will be going around and stating everyone's name, age, and addiction." The counselor said.
"I'm Logan Pierce. I'm 18 and I have a Nicotine addiction." Logan said. Patton was shaking so badly so Logan held his hand and interlocked their fingers which caused them both to blush.
"I-I'm P-Patton R-Reed, 17. C-C-Cutting A-A-Addiction." Patton said with tears in his eyes.
"I'm Roman Collins. I'm 16 and I have hypersexuality." Roman said.
"I'm Virgil Miller. I'm 15 and I'm an alcoholic and drug addict." Virgil said. Since they were the youngest in the whole center they thought it would be best for them to connect in a group.
"So as you know you know you are all the youngest and we are here for you to connect as a group. You're addictions may not be similar but you can connect as teens okay." The counselor said. "Who would like to start on how their addiction began?"
"I can, When I was 16 my at the time boyfriend would do it. I would do it so we had something in common. It gave us something and when he broke up with me I was already so addicted, I would sneak into the bathroom and Juul and smoke with my friends. I am still addicted two years later and I can't stop. Which is why I came here." Logan said. Patton was panicking, he didn't want to tell a room of strangers about his life.
"Patton you want to speak?" The counselor asked. Patton vigorously shook his head and Logan squeezed his hand. "C'mon, this is a safe space!"
"N-no. L-lo. H-help." Patton said bawling into his chest and Logan rubbing his back whispering words of encouragement in his ears. Virgil started tearing up and Roman was scared. How did this kid start cutting?
Patton and Logan had to eventually go into a separate room. Patton was still shook up by what happened. He was shaking vigorously and he couldn't calm down. He was having a really bad attack and couldn't calm down. The only thing Logan could do was be by his side and support him. He wasn't stopping and it's been 10 minutes. Logan thought of only one thing to do, and that was to kiss him and holding your breath does help you during a panic attack but instead he just made him hold his breath.
"Pat? Can you hold your breath for me?." Logan asked. Patton nodded and held his breath and he calmed down a lot. After a couple more minutes he calmed down.
"Sorry. I'm so pathetic. I can't do anything right." Patton said.
"Patton. The counselor shouldn't have put all that pressure on you. They knew about your anxiety issues and they shouldn't have done that. This is not your fault." Logan said.
"Sorry." Patton said.
"Pat, you don't need to be sorry all the time." Logan said holding his hand.
"Sor-. I know." Patton said.
"Wanna go back?" Logan asked and Patton nodded.
While that whole scene was happening Roman and Virgil were trying to figure out what was going on while to nurse went to go check up on them.
"What do you think he's so anxious about?" Roman asked.
"I don't know Ro. Cutting is serious, I used to do it. I can tell you right now. It's serious." Virgil said.
"On an unrelated note. Do you think their brothers?" Roman asked.
"No. They are almost the same age. They have different last names and they look nothing alike." Virgil said.
"So then are they dating?" Roman asked.
"How would I know? I think they are though. I mean honestly." Virgil said
"I mean come on they like held hands and shit and Logan I think his name was, was bright red when he interlocked their fingers." Roman said.
"They could like each other and not be dating. You never know." Virgil said.
"Yeah, I guess." Roman said. The nurse came back into the room
Logan went back hand in hand. Patton was wiping his tears away.
"S-sorry." Patton said as he sat down.
"Oh dear. You don't have to be sorry about anything. If you don't want to share you don't have to. I shouldn't have put all that pressure on you." The counselor said.
"I can go next." Roman said.
"Splendid!" The counselor said.
"So, me and my family aren't very financially stable so I chose prostitution as a job. I eventually got so addicted to sex that I couldn't stop." Roman said.
"Thank you for sharing. Virgil do you want to go?" The counselor asked Virgil shook his head "Okay, that's fine." Roman held Virgil's hand as Logan did with Patton. "I will leave you as a group to talk amongst things yourselves. We have cameras to make sure you don't kill each other." The counselor said.
The counselor left and of course the pounding question in the room was asked.
"Are you two dating?" Roman asked.
