Only The Beginning

Roman is sitting on his bed looking at his laptop. He hears someone come into the dorm, and it is his friend Virgil. Virgil looks at Roman, than crashes onto his bed.

"Another bad day, Virgil?" Roman asks, returning to his laptop.

"You could say that." Virgil groaned in response.

Roman chuckled to himself and started to play My Shot from a Broadway show he likes. Virgil gently dozed off and Roman looks at him and sighs. He shakes his head and turns off his laptop and goes to take a shower before going out to eat dinner.

A few doors down, there is Logan sitting at his desk working on an assignment. His roommate Patton slowly opened the door.

"Greetings, Patt" says Logan, not looking up from his work.

"Hi." Patton barely mumbled.

Logan immediately knew something was wrong. He got up from his desk and walked over to Patton and asked him,

"What happened today? You seem distressed."

"I-i just saw something thats all." Patton murmured as he sat on his bed. "It was Virgil."

"Oh?" said Logan. "What did Virgil do?"

"He was crying in a corner and I went to see what was wrong but," Patton started to cry. "He just ran when he saw me."

"Well, I think maybe he was just having a bad day." Logan offered.

"But this is different, Lo!" Patton said with tears streaming down his face. "What if he hates me!"

"I don't think he hates you Patt." Logan said as he took a seat next to his friend. "I think he just had a bad encounter."

Patton's head went down and he curled up into a ball and just cried. Logan didn't know what to do. His best friend was crying and he had no experience with emotional help. Logan made a mental note to look into that.

"Um. Patt, it's going to be okay." Logan said as he slowly wrapped his arms around Patton. "Am I doing this right?"

"Yeah." Patton said as he hugged Logan back. "Thanks, Lo."

"You are welcome Patton. Would you like to check on Virgil?" Logan said.

"That would be nice." said Patton, drying his tears.

Logan released Patton from the hug and got up. Patton followed and they walked out the door. It was a silent walk down the hallway to Virgil and Romans dorm. Patton went up to knock on the door and Roman came to answer it.

"Hey guys." said Roman through the doorway. "Can I get anything for you?"

"Hi Roman." Patton chirped. "We are here to see Virgil."

"Oh yeah," said Roman, turning around to look at Virgil. "Hes asleep."

Roman let Logan and Patton in and closed the door. Patton bounded to Virgil's bed. Patton yelped when he touched the spider webs on accident.

"I really dont get why he likes those." Patton said as he cringed at the spider webs.

"So why do you guys want to see Virgil?" Roman asked.

"Patt was worried about what he saw in the hallway today." Logan informed.

"Oh. What did you see Pat?" Roman asked.

Patton said nothing and kept looking at Roman. He then got up and sat on a nearby chair.

"Patt? Are you alright?" Roman asked.
