"I don't know! Get some snow on his leg, it looks bad. We need to get out of here!" Roman says.

He picks me up and rushes around the house, avoiding Logan's parents and Amy. He rushes me to his car. I feel him set me down in the backseat and start to drive. I don't know if its pain or tears blurring my vision at this point. All I know is that my head and leg hurt way too much.

"Guys?" I say, "I- I think my leg might be broken."

"Well, no dip Sherlock! Have you even seen it?" Roman says.

"Shut up, Watson. And no, I haven't. Everythings a bit blur-"

A sharp jolt of pain in my leg as we go over a bump makes me yelp.

"Is there anything we can do to help right now, kiddo?" Patton asks, concerned.

"Logan." I mumble, "Logan always helps."

Then I blackout.

---

I wake back up in a hospital bed, my leg stiff and my arms covered in bruises. I look around the room. Patton and Roman are there, asleep in each other's arms. I clear my throat, waking them up.

"Good morning, sunshines. What happened last night?" I ask.

I don't remember anything other than falling. 

"Well, you fell and your leg-um- broke. I think the doctors say some of your ribs are sprained too." Roman says.

"Geez, it was only like an 8-foot drop," I say.

"Yeah, well, you landed on a rock so," Roman says.

"So how are we explaining this one to my parents?" I ask.

"We were downtown together, going to see a movie. It was dark and a car didn't see you in the parking lot. We did not catch the license plate or color of the car." Patton says.

"Are you ok with lying about this, Pat? We don't have to, I can take the fall. Heh, I guess I already did." I say.

"Virgil don't joke about that!" Patton says.

I roll my eyes, smirking.

"So does Logan know anything?" I ask.

"We thought it was best not to tell him for a bit. He might try to actually leave his house to see you, and if he did his parents would go ballistic." Roman says, "You probably don't remember, but they were chasing after us when they got home. Someone told them, and they looked ready to kill us."

"Wow. Yeah I have zero memory past falling." I say.

"Oh, by the way, it's 5 in the morning," Patton says, checking his phone, "Your parents should be here soon."

"Mk. Do you guys know where my phone is?" I ask.

They share a glance.

"It wasn't in your pocket when you fell," Patton says.

I pale.

"I-I think I left it in my sweatshirt pocket. My other one. I left it in Logan's room." I say.

"We can get it back. I'll have him bring it to his therapy today. No worries." Roman says.

I nod.

"Well, I need some sleep. See ya guys whenever I wake up." I say.

*Janus POV*

Remus and I are spending today together. We start by going to my house o watch a few movies. When he arrives, I greet him.

"Hello, my love," I say.

"Hi Snakey." He says.

"Why the long face?" I ask, seeing his weak smile.

"It's nothing." He says.

"Are you actually trying to lie to me?" I say.

"Yeah. It's nothing that concerns you." Remus says.

"Is it family drama or something else? If it's family I can help." I say.

"It's not. Really, it's nothing that you should concern yourself with." He insists.

This only makes me more persistent.

"Tell me, I'll understand," I say.

"Fine." Remus says, finally relenting, "Virgil's in the hospital."

My eyes widen. I small bit of glee arises within me. I don't know why. I never completely wished ill on Virgil, but I definitely am not sorry for him either.

"Is it bad that I don't give an f?" I ask.

"I mean, he's your ex and I'm pretty sure you've fantasized about beating him to a pulp, so I don't think so." Remus shrugs.

"I guess this means I should drop my plans for vengeance," I say.

I don't really want to. I spent weeks trying to find someone to help me. That dumb blonde CherryWood girl seemed like a good fit. I just told her to make sure Virgil didn't get his crush. 

"I've seen that look in your eyes before, J. You really have no feelings for Virge anymore, do you?" Remus says.

"Not one," I say.

I doubt we could ever even go back to friends. The days of pranks and ditching classes are far behind us.


Well, I hope you guys enjoyed the double update today, and the check-in on Janus. I don't really know where to write him in, which is sad because he's one of my favorite sides. Oh well. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading. Feel free to leave any thoughts, theories, or feedback in the comments. Have an outstanding day/night you magnificent peep!
