Thank you so much for reading! this one was a bit of a handful, but I really really hope you like it! to be honest, I'm a littler nervous and would love to hear what you think, if it makes sense or you would like me to edit it a little more? as always please keep comments clean and Patton-friendly!

Warnings: slapping, cheating, cyberbullying, bullying, hatred, manipulation, gaslighting. mentions of fraud. angst. lots of crying. talking of expelling, drama (please let me know if you see any others and I'll add them!)

"what about the plan?" Remy sighed as Janus softly kissed around his face. both their hands wandering over each others bodies.

"they're getting on my nerves, I'm done waiting." Janus said before pressing Remy into a locker and continuing to make out. you found yourself holding your breath as you quickly and silently hurried down the hall. running outside of the school grounds, seeing Logan waiting, your notebook in his hands.

"you forgot this." Logan asked, walking over but the tears in your eyes gathered and spilled down your cheeks as you started running. you didn't notice Emile wave at you as his parent was talking to a teacher, all you noticed was the blurry word around you. this was a nightmare.

sobbing yourself to sleep, you had vivid nightmares, you curling into yourself, shivering despite it being warm, as you shook in your sleep. it was all too much all at once. your phone muted and backpack thrown across the room, your homework remaining undone. Virgil was right, and you were dumb.

the morning you woke up, grabbing your bag, as you walked to school. but you couldn't ignore the stares, the whispers, everything crashing down. the way people stared at you as you opened your locker, or entered the classroom, the only one who wasn't staring in shock or anger was Logan.

"Logan... what's going on?" you asked, staring at Logan while he bit his lip, before opening his mouth to speak, only to be caught off by the teacher starting the lesson. the day continued on horribly, until lunch rolled around. you saw people glaring at you before passing the table. Janus smirking as he waved, Remus' brow knit, and Remy sipping a coffee, ignoring you.

"y/n, join me, unless you wish for all this torment." Logan whispered as he grabbed your arm, both of you walking out of the cafeteria. you were confused but pulled your hoodie up over your head. you were near the doors when someone screamed, drawing your attention.

"how dare you cheat on Janus? you had everything you always wanted and you cheated!" Roman yelled getting people's attention, Logan glared wrapping his arm around your shaking shoulders before you bolted, Logan running after you.

"I know you didn't cheat, it's very unlike your character..." Logan said, glancing at you with pity. he pulled out his phone and let you read over the post. the long, awful post about how you'd only toyed with Janus feelings and were caught going out with someone else.

"Janus was the one... he... and Remy..." you mumbled, more tears streaming down your face.

"I know, now please walk with me, we have someone waiting, he knows way too well about Janus." Logan said, taking you hand before walking down the halls. you walked into a quiet, nearly empty library, one boy sitting at the table.

"hi y/n..." Patton said. as Logan walked to the librarian, thanking him for being able to clear the library of people, Logan sat, pecking Patton's cheek before they both turned their attention to you.

"what happened?" Logan had his notepad, you took a deep breath before telling him everything, as he took it down on a notepad. it took the whole afternoon, but Logan had handled that, he looked out for you... a favor for Virgil.

Logan nodded after questioning you, Patton holding you in his arms as you sobbed. the librarian listening to the drama go down.

"I know... that isn't the first time Janus has done something like that." Patton comforted, rubbing your back as you cried a little harder. Virgil was right.

"Patton's gonna be your partner in classes, I've pulled some favors for the teachers, so you're okay, I think I have everything I need." Logan said, before looking up at you, you being unaware you'd just given them the last things they needed.

Patton joined you as your partner for most classes, making sure you were alright. and destroying an hate notes he found. the whole student body hated you in this moment, everything being a nightmare as you walked with Patton. Virgil was completely right about Janus.

tears gathered in your eyes that night, as you tried to complete homework, Patton had offered to stay but you told him you were alright. you were currently staring at the letters and numbers jumbled together in a subject known as high school math.

however your brain wouldn't let you be, telling you how dumb you were for treating Virgil the way you did. they were like demons that infected your head. that's when an idea struck you. you took a piece of paper out and began writing.

it was several hours later when you stopped, crumpled papers surrounding you as you held the final project. you then printed a coloring page for Emile and put them both in separate envelopes, labeling them and making a plan.

the days continued to drag on, the ridiculing getting worse and Janus gave more 'facts' about the breakup, the student body now doing pretty much everything in their power to make life an absolute nightmare. 

the day ended and Patton walked beside you. you thanked him once again, waving to Logan who looked stressed but worried at the same time, on his phone. he nodded at you before turning, speaking into his phone again.

you walked across the street when the crossing light went on, and you walked over, pulling the envelopes out of your bag and waiting for Emile. he walked out with a big smile before bolting towards you.

"Hello! it's been so long!" Emile giggled, staring at you, as he smelled like cotton candy.

"Emile, I need you to do a special task for me. okay?" you asked, and Emile nodded. you handed him the envelopes.

"one of them is for you, but I need you to give Virgil the other one." you say, faking a smile as Emile smiled up at you.

"okay!" he chirped happily. you smile standing up, staring to walk away as you heard Emile giggled, and Virgil's voice. you told yourself to stop, but you turned, making eye contact with Virgil's mocha eyes, as he stared at you, your eyes glossing up.

you crossed the street and headed to you house, to ashamed to talk to Virgil. as you walked upstairs, staring from the window as you saw Virgil giggle, picking Emile up as Emile shoved the letter in his face, Virgil taking it, and looking with soft eyes at the handwriting.

you sat down on your bed, wondering what the heck was going on. why couldn't you find it in you to apologize to Virgil face to face. he'd always cared for you, since day one. when you were holding Emile in your arms searching around the high school.

Virgil turned in that moment, his eyes widening as a pink exploded over his cheeks as he stared before his eyes landed on Emile. the way he walked with Emile, the way he stared, the way Virgil helped you in science, in music, the way Virgil was always there. Virgil had always been there.

the next day you woke up reluctantly, and stuffed your homework in your bag, walking to class, Logan meeting you at the door instead of Patton today. he looked slightly nervous as he took your hand, walking with you quickly to your science classes, keeping a file close, as he walked with you.

"ignore them." Logan whispered, as people yelled at you. Janus walking down the hall, Remy resting his chin on Virgil's shoulders. both you and Logan coming face to face with Janus and Remy.

"hello babes." Remy said, as he looked at you, trying to hide the guilt in his face and Virgil trying to hide the smirk as he acted angry, before shoving you and running off. Logan angrily gritted his teeth before walking into the classroom. he didn't seem like himself.

"would Logan Berry, Janus Cobra, and Y/n Y/l/n please come to the office." a voice came over the PA system, with that, Logan grabbed your hand and walked out into the hallway as people whispered. Logan refused to look at you as he dragged you towards the offices. 

you entered to see Janus... and Virgil. your eyes widening as Janus smirked, waving at you as your eyes widened, Virgil stared, looking like he wanted to say something but he couldn't get a word out.

soon enough you were all stated in the principals office. you were sitting in one of the chairs. as Logan opened the file, showing all the lies. all the frauds and lies Janus has commited, against students and the school itself. reading off your notes, and Patton's notes. how Janus faked to get Virgil expelled.

"this is shocking, Mr. Cobra, you aren't welcome in this school. you are expelled, get your backpack and go clean out your locker. apologies Mr. Virgil Picani... please let me know if this school can make it up to you." the principal stated before standing up. Janus angrily storming out, as Virgil turned towards you.

"I'll grab your bag." Logan whispered as you nodded, before running away from the office, to outside the school, just running. there was nothing else you could do in that moment. just run. 

you ran, the cool wind whipping around your face as your feet landed heavily, ignoring the loud footsteps behind you as tears streamed down your cheeks, as you ran. the footsteps close behind you.

the cold wind whipped around your face, whipping your hair around almost painfully. someone grabbing your shoulder, spinning you around. there he stood, the jacket lightly falling off his shoulder, his multicolored eyes holding emotions, but to tell which one was too hard. 

his chestnut brown hair flew around in the wind as he stood, holding your shoulder tightly.

"it was a joke, I was just kidding, I still love you baby." Janus whispered as you stared at him in disbelief. frozen in shock staring at him, before you brought your hand up, slapping his face.

"do you really think I believe you?! Don't lie to me!" you screamed, pulling out of his grip.

"I love you." Janus yelled, grabbing your wrist as you turned.

"don't lie to yourself, you never loved me. now don't talk to me ever again." you cried a little, before you ran. leaving Janus far behind as your feet pounded, not knowing where they would take you. 

you found yourself at a park bench, alone. much like how you'd left Virgil. you just staring at the ground as you head soft footsteps approaching. you knew who it was the second you saw the purple shoes, or smelled the lavender scent.

"you were right." you whispered as Virgil sat down next to you, not being able to look at each other.

"I'm so sorry..." you spoke your voice cracking. Virgil took your hand in his own as you just breathed.

"I'm such an idiot." you whispered, but Virgil quickly lifted your chin with his fingers.

"you are not an idiot, and you shouldn't stay that. you got manipulated, that isn't your fault." Virgil spoke, his fingers intertwining with yours.

"I read your letter... and I want you to know, I don't blame you, I am most angry at that snake for playing with such an incredible person. you truly are incredible, and so kind, caring, attractive, smart in your own way... you're amazing y/n, and any guy, gal, or non-binary pal would be so luck to be with you." Virgil ranted a little as his cheeks flushed again.

"Virgil... you're so wonderful too... I don't know why I liked Janus, when the most incredible guy was in front of me the whole time." you said softly, as Virgil raised his mocha eyes to meet yours. with his hand softly resting on your cheek, he leaned in, you leaning in as well.

the kiss was unlike Janus' kisses, Virgil's were tender, gentle... affectionate. soon your lips parted, as you stared up at Virgil. as he smiled, the blush growing on his freckled face.

"oh wow..." he muttered as you blushed too.

"I'll need to take it slow, but... I love you Virgil." you whispered as Virgil hugged you, afraid to break you, yet happy. truly happy in that moment. this moment was a dream. just because most dreams don't end in good ways, doesn't always mean that happy endings don't exist.
