Leo: I don't know... but she basically got dragged here by the principles daughter. I'm worrying....

(She got caught with taking drugs in the girls bathroom with two other girls)

(yup It's only going to get worse from there) Leo: * presses his head against the door* I believe. She's getting chewed out. But I still don't know what she's in trouble for.

Leo: It's coming from the girls bathroom... There... might be drugs in there.

Leo: me too... no she couldn't have. She was framed ._. hehe...

Leo: … I.... don't know. but I hope not...

Leo: how dare you even think that? She just got roped in somehow... I'm sure she didn't mean to.

Leo: you know how naive she can be.

Leo: *Pat's Ivy's head* it's okay. Nani: *she walks out of the office* oh hi hehe... *Puts on a fake smile*

Nani: what? Leo: *inhale* Nani why were you smoking?

Nani: I-I didn't mean to.... Leo: then why did you?

Nani: I.... I don't want to talk about it... *Tears up* I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't do it but... they got to me, it just started off with vaping... *looks away and starts shaking* *she's stressing tight now* just don't tell my parents, please. Leo: I-We want to help you. That's means I'm going to have to defy some of your wishes. Nani: come on Leo no please.

Right*

Nani: please... As favor from a friend to a friend. Leo: you know we can't... Nani: I'll do anything

Nani: I-Idk anything you want me to. Just don't tell them. Leo: ....

Nani: *hugs all of them* THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Leo: *sighs* np

Nani: I-I won't *mind: more like try not to* Leo: alright well class is about to start we should get going.

Leo: see ya later. *Goes to ELA* Nani: ... *Waves and goes to Math*

Nani: *walks into the halls and looks around* Leo: *at his locker*

Nani: *runs up to them* oof *dabs with her* Leo: *facepalm and sighs*

Leo: y'all need help. Nani: AWWWWW come on join us Leo.

Leo: I'm just thinking. =_= Nani: about what? Leo: ... It's not important right now.

(yup) Leo: *sighs* okay. Nani: yay! *Hugs Leo* Leo: =///_////= *hides his face*

Leo: stop it... Nani: aww okay *let's go* Leo: *mumbles* no not you, her

Nani: I thought peubity already passed for you Leo. Just chill. Leo: chill?

Leo: what? Nani: your acting different Leo: says the person smoking pot in the bathrooms earlier. Nani: ...

Nani: that was uncalled for.... *Looks down* Leo: ...

Nani: okay... Leo: I got to go. I'm sorry.*He leaves to a different area*

Hope: *appears* what's wrong Ivy?

Hope: in what way?

Hope: *climbs on her shoulder* maybe he just has a lot on his mind. Leo is always over thinking things. He could be stressed.

Hope: you have a point... You should probably talk to him in private. He's probably struggling to keep his emotions in control. I'm not sure. Maybe he needs someone to talk to.

Hope: no problem. Call me when you need me.

Hope: hehe well go on.

(YEEE SHIP IT) Leo: about what exactly?

Leo: why is it your concern?

Leo: what do you mean? I'm just being me. Do you not like that? You don't like me?

Leo: *sighs* I'm sorry then okay. But there's nothing wrong with me.

Leo: *he doesn't hugs back* ... Hmph

Leo: can you let go please

Leo: we have to go to gym soon. You are aware of that, right?

Leo: if I hug you back will you let go

Leo: "hugs her" now let go

Leo: *let's go, rubs his arm and follows*

-in gym- Nani: *stretching* Leo: *he's looking around*

(XD) Leo: *he joins and starts stretching*

Nani: you okay Ivy?

Nani: are you okay? You spaced out.

Nani: about Leo?

Nani: *looks at Leo* me too... Leo: *he seems to be mumbling under his breath*

Nani: *sighs* do you know what's wrong with him?

Nani: oh... Leo: *walks over to them* what are you guys talking about?

Leo: really? *Raises an eyebrow* Nani: yeah. Hehe. Leo: okay... Peter you've awfully quiet. What's up?

Leo: awww I see... You can just go for it. But don't do the disturbing or stupid things you do. Don't flirt.

Leo: nothing important *whispers* I know Nani: anyway. Wanna go do something, if we keep standing here doing nothing the coaches are going to force us to do push-ups and my arms can't take that kind of damage.

Leo: *walking through the halls to an aimless destination*

Leo: idk... I just need a place to think... Nani: ...

Leo: *chuckles of little* okay good luck. Nani: *in the bathroom looking through her bookbag*

Nani: *takes out a cigarette* n-no, it's wrong... But it is satisfying-no. Leo: *he goes to a dark corner and starts talking to himself while scratching his wrist*

Nani: I told them I wouldn't... But *she lights the cigarette* it couldn't hurt

(ship it UwU) Nani: *takes a deep breath then puffs some smoke*

Nani: *hears footsteps and puts the cigarette out* 0-0 *stays dead silent* ...

Nani: *mumbles* oh f*** *she looks around until she notices a part of the ceiling is off* bingo...

Nani: *she stays quiet as possible and climbs into the open spot in the roof*

Nani: *gets into the space in the roof in time and closes it* *sighs*

-her book bag is still on the counter though-

Nani: *whispers* nonononNONONO... Leo: hm?

Leo: *rubs his temples* gosh darn it Nani... Come on let's go find my sis. Nani: *climbing through the vents* I need my stuff back...

Leo: No unfortunately... *Growls* how did she even get them? None of us are the legal age to buy them yet.

Leo: where did she go?

Leo: jeez she was determined to get away. But we have evidence. *Sighs* I hate ratting her out...

Leo: *follows, he fills a giant knot in his stomach* Principal: come in.

Feels*

Principal: *sighs* the second time in one day. Thank you children for reporting this to me. I will take care of this I assure you. This behavior will not go unpunished. Leo: *he looks a little sick*

Principal: tomorrow please bring your friend up to my office.

Leo: *takes a deep breath and covers his mouth* I’m going to throw up...

Leo: I-I w-will be f-fine. *The guilt has gotten to him*

Leo: Th-Thanks... *Gags* let go let go let go!

(kk) Leo: *Runs to a trash can and throws up in it*

Leo: *breathing heavily and is hunched over* ...

Nani: *she climbs out of the fence near the exit of the school* Ugh I'm so dead.....

Leo: *coughs* y-yeah I'm fine

Leo: come on. We got to go home. We'll see Nani tomorrow....

Leo: *he goes to his locker and gets his stuff* hurry up

Nani: *she walks out of the school* I guess I won't have a book bag tomorrow...

Leo: *runs out of the school's doors* ...

-time skip-

-all of them are at their own houses-

Leo: *puts his bookbag down* ugh...

Leo: I could be better...

Leo: ... I don't ever prefer to talk about it. I'll keep it to myself...

Leo: depends on what it is. Don't take it personally.

Leo: Ivy it's not important okay. I'm fine. *He gets his homework and starts doing it*

Leo: *he sighs and starts scratching his wrist* I shouldn't push her away, she's only trying to help but...

Leo: *he goes back to his work and unintentionally mentally and emotionally wearing himself down*

Leo: *he stops than walks upstairs* Ivy?

Leo: I'm sorry if I made you upset... I promise I didn't mean to I know you're just trying to help.

Leo: *he sits next to her* there are things that I'm not willing to talk about. I can handle it all by myself.

Leo: so please stop worrying. Just let me think, okay?

Leo: sadly no... But I'm fine. Why don't you believe me?

Leo: ......... *He looks away from her. He was about to start scratching his wrist but stopped himself*

Leo: ...... I gtg..... *He gets up* I'm going for a walk...

Leo: *he walks downstairs then leaves the house* ... *Mumbles* I can't keep up with this...

-it has been a few hours sense Leo has left it is now very dark outside- Leo: *looks up* it's really late... I should be getting back

Leo: *he starts to walk back home with his head down but then bumps into someone* ugh sor- ???: WHO THE HE- oh it's little deer boi.

Leo: *he looks up and freezes* ???: what? Aww you look like a deer caught in head lights. Well let me and the boys help you out. *He pulled on his antler* Leo: Ow!! N-No I'm fine...

(I wonder where their parents are do they still live in the same house as their parents? Or did they move out early?) Leo: th-thanks I-I'll get going n-now. ???: *Chuckles slowly* oh no you don't. I believe you need to repay us for the help. *He lets go of his antlers and knees him in the gut* Leo: *falls to the floor and starts coughing* f***... ???: Welp boys, we got our selves deer. Do anything you want to him, whatever your sick hearts desire. It's not like he's going to fight back. *Him and his Bois start to kick him, punch him, and pull on his antlers. Leo: *coughing up blood, crying and screaming in pain* s-stop p-p-please... *He tries to get up but keeps getting kicked down* H-Help! -one of them covers his mouth-

(I'm not, their parents are just out and they will still live with their parents until they graduate) ???: *Looks at her* and what are you going to do about it? You can come and join your bro for all I care. Leo: *his vision has gotten blurry and all he hears is a ringing sound* I-Ivy...

(YEEEE IVY BEST SIS) -his Bois back away from Leo but he doesn't- ???: I suppose not. *Takes out a switch blade* but hey if I get the beating of a lifetime then I might as well take something to remember it. *He broke off a piece of Leo's antler* Leo: *he started shaking more violently. He has a gray aura around him. Youu can feel the fear and hopelessness coming from it.*

???: *Groans in pain but doesn't seem too upset* heh is that all you got I expected more but I guess I was wrong. *He cuts the Vines* Leo: *he's still shaking and it seems like he's struggling to breath*

???: *Tries to tear at her Vines around his neck* Leo: *looks at what's happening* I-Ivy S-S-Stop...

Leo: *he crawls over to her* Ivy S-Stop!

Leo: I-It's not w-worth it... *Coughs up blood and tries to get up but winces in pain* We a-aren't th-them...

???: *Falls to the ground and runs* Leo: L-Let's g-go ho- *he passed out from the pain*

-time skip to when they get to the house- Leo: *his breathing is even more Shakey before. You could only wish that he would look peaceful*

Leo: *he's starting to mumbles things while still knocked out*

Leo: *shifts a bit* ...

Leo: *he says very faintly* i-it's o-okay...

Leo: b-but you didn't. That's w-what m-matters isn't i-i-it?

Leo: *flinches* ... I'm s-sorry

Leo: you were just trying to protect me. It's alright. *He sits up and hugs her even though this did cause him much pain*

Leo: you can c-control it. Just f-focus. I believe in you. *He looks her in the eyes*

Leo: good, it okay sis.

Leo: *he hugs her tighter* thanks... For what you did back there...

Leo: ...... *Nods slowly*

Leo: I didn't want you to get involved.... But I see where that's gotten us...

Leo: that's why I've been wearing this hoodie all the time. It hides the scars...

Leo: *puts his hand on his broken antler* but it can't hide this... What are we going to to tell Mom and Dad?

Leo: oh... *Sighs* That's not something I look forward to...

Leo: ........ I know.....

Leo: good night sis... *He lays her down on her bed and goes to the bathroom to heal himself up then goes to bed* -time skip to tommorow-

Leo: hm? ... 0-0 *hides under the covers to hide his broken antler* good morning Mom.

Leo: ...... It's fine, it's just... Chipped

Leo: ......... Mmmm.....

Zach: *walks upstairs* what's the hold up you two got to get ready for school what happened?

Zach: *you can see the panic on his face and he hugs both be of them* Leo: I'm fine.... Zach: don't tell me that BS you antlers broken!

Zach: and for all I know this probably more bruises or cuts that aren't visible.

Zach: My poor baby girl, I'm sorry.

Leo: she almost completely lost it. Did you know that Vines comes out of her body when it happens.

Leo: I'll still go, my grades are slipping... *He gets up but he's still pretty up and he winces in pain* ah.... Zach: Leo sit back down your staying home. And Ivy you can also stay home for the day. Leo: but- Zach: no buts

Leo: *sighs and looks down* okay...

Leo: *hugs all three of them* Zach: *nods and hugs tighter* I love you all don't forget that.

Leo: *nods* we love you too *let's go* Zach: *let's go*

Leo: I wouldn't mind

Zach: *gets up* call us if you need anything. We'll be there. *Leaves* Leo: yes sir. Hope: *appears on the dresser* yes?

Hope: I'm okay. Are you two okay, I heard that both of you got hurt last night. Leo: I'm fine. But could be better.

Hope: Ivy? What about you? *Puts a hand on her shoulder*

Leo: you see what happened was, I got beaten to a pulp last night so Ivy defended me but in the act of doing that she almost killed my tormentor. And she almost lost control..... Hope: oh.... I'm so sorry I wasn't there to comfort you two....

Hope: *gives Leo a hug then gives Ivy a hug* hmph Leo: thanks

Hope: *let's go* is there anything that you two need? Leo: *thinking* no. Not for me anyway.

Hope:oh alright. *Climbs on Ivy's shoulder* well how was it before that night? Leo: ... Well, Ivy and Peter are dating

Hope: you got a boyfriend.

Hope:I'm so proud of you! ^w^ what about you Leo? Leo: I got bad news. My best friend / crush is taking or may even be addicted to.... Tobacco... Hope: oh...

Leo: I hope it isn't either. Or I'll beat his butt. Hope: no need to fight Leo. At least not yet.

Leo: yeah and we know eating candy 24/7 is bad but it's way better than what she's doing now. Hope: *nods* I agree. Maybe you all can have a convention with her. To try to convince her to stop. If that doesn't work, try to find the source of the problem.

Leo: *smiles a little* thanks for the advice. Hope: np Leo: I wish I could call her. But she's probably in OSS.

Leo: *sighs* I really feel bad for ratting her out... Hope: aww you did the right thing. Technically you weren't snitching.

Leo: no.. I just... You could see the fear in her eyes the first time we said we would do it

Leo: it tore me apart... I hated seeing her like that.. Hope: aww I'm sorry.

Leo: but she'll be okay... I really hope she hasn't been doing this for long.

Leo: *takes a look at his phone and picks it up* hmmm Hope: what are you planning Leo: I'mma just text her. Or Peter.

Leo: *he texts Peter first* "Peter what's going on at school? What happened to Nani?"

Hope: she got In School Suspension? Leo: dang it... "At least it's not OSS, do you have any idea of why she started"

Leo: "aww jeez. No hints or anything?"

Leo: "yup. She's trying to hide things. I would know."

Leo: "We are going to have a convention with her. we'll discuss it later."

Leo: "later dude"

Leo: *texts Nani* "sorry if I get you in trouble for this but I'm sorry that I got you ISS, I'm just worried, okay." -it says she was texting but then stopped but it's read-

Leo: hm? Oh he had to go but we're giving Nani a conversation.

Leo: yeah... *Sighs*

Leo: I feel worse now... But I don't blame her for being upset.

-his phone dings- Leo: huh? *Looks at his messages* Nani: "I was going to lash out on you but its not right. But when I come over I wanna know why you and Ivy aren't at school. Later Leo I don't want to caught"

Leo: *sense of dread came back and his aura is gray again* hhhhh

Leo: *hugs back* Hope: *hugs Leo* I have to go soon.

Hope: *sighs* just a little longer.

Hope: hehe. Okay but I will have to go soon. Leo: that's fine

Leo: *stomach growls* mmm Hope: hungry? Leo: *nods*

Leo: *gets up* ugh you would think you would think you would get use to the soreness. *He says to himself but loud enough to hear*

Leo: *walks downstairs* Hope: *climbs on Ivy's shoulder*

Hope: *smiles back* Leo: *makes a bowl of cereal*

Hope: I want to ask a question. Leo: you can. *Starts eating* Hope: do you think it's possible for me to become a real living, breathing being?

Leo: hmmm idk. We're you even originally that way? Hope: I was originally a doll that could be hold without the need to be in there mind. I used to have one face and it was the face of my creator.

Hope: I had her looks and personality. My purpose was to comfort her and only her... Leo: who is "her"?

(Elisa*)(reeeeeeeeee) Hope: oh you already met her. She's related to you two. Does Elisa Ring a bell? Or more of Dot?

Hope: *nods* but when who ever got her.... I was picked up by her twin brother Ezekiel.

Hope: I've been tossed around a lot... I was once picked up by this person that looked like a little girl but she wasn't she was much more... Leo: more in what way?

Hope: she repaired or disabled me... I'm not sure anymore. She made me like this. She gave me a reason again. But I was supposed to serve her. In which I did physically and mentally. But in this I lost my identity, I gained the personality of all I had met, bad or good. The magic that girl used on me made mesunstable so I slowly lost what made me real.

Leo: 0-0 Hope: I took on the looks of the people I knew because none of them feel like me anymore. I don't remember who made me like this. Sometimes I wish to still be a simple doll. So I wouldn't have to fill out of these dreaded emotions.

Hope: I wasn't real then and I'm not real now. Who would really love a doll?

Hope:*hugs back* Leo: *Pats their head* we're sorry.

Hope: I'll be fine. It doesn't matter. Leo: it seems it does

Hope: *smiles* thank you. Leo: *finishes eating* np

Leo: not in a billion years Hope: heh that's nice to know.

Hope: *looks at their own hand* I got to go.

Leo: bye. Hope: later *dissapears*

Leo: ugh.... *He gets up and opens the door* hey Nani. Nani: Hi Le- what happened to your antler?...

Nani: hmph Leo: I'm not going to explain it. Come in. Nani: *sighs and walks in*

Nani: please and thank you

Nani: Leo I'm so sorry. *Kisses his forehead* Leo: hehe... ^///_///¥

Leo: Ivy are you okay? Nani: huh?

Nani: oh my gosh... Leo: it's okay. Try what you did last night. You can make it go away.

Leo: good Nani: are you going to be okay Ivy?

Nani: does your mom know about it or how to stop it?

Nani: hmm your dad doesn't have there magic you have so he probably doesn't know... Leo: ugh when do the problem stop piling up....

Leo: true... Nani: that seems complicated

Leo: her emotions are more sensitive than mine. I can hold mine down even in complicated situations because they all have different effects. Nani: I've noticed. But if hers have a happy effect why don't you have one? Leo: oh it exists.

Nani: yeah I noticed that kindergarten

Nani: it's going to be okay. Leo: we got too many problems to stop. So who's are we starting with?

Leo: hmmmmmm We'll do Nani's first. Nani: wait I don't have a problem

Nani: really I'm fine. 0-0" Leo: no, no your not. You have shown zero signs that your okay.

Nani: why do you need to know? Leo: because we need to know how to stop it.

Nani: I... I'm just stressed okay, nothing else. I'll be fine. Leo: what's making you stress?

Nani: *shakes her head* .... Leo: Nani...

Nani: w-what n-no just sc-school work. Y-Yeah just a lot of school work. *She told a half truth*

Nani: no I'm fine! Leave me alone!*gets up* Leo: *flinches* ...

(my parents are taking me somewhere and I don't know where. =3=)

Nani: FINE: I don't need you anyway. *Slams the door on The way out* Leo: ....... *Sighs*

Zach: YOU BETTER NOT BE BREAKING STUFF! Leo: *runs upstairs* Ivy?!

Leo: oh jeez... Zach: *follows* what's wrong? Leo: Ivy and Nani started telling at each other....

Yelling*

Zach+Leo: *hugs her* Zach: it's going to be okay kid Leo: we just have to keep trying.

Zach: *let's go in nods* Leo: *lets go* I could come with you.

(kk)

Leo: *sighs* alright....

Nani: *she's standing on her front porch (well he parents house)* *she smoking a cig again and she seems to be crying* I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I want to stop, I really do... I just can't.... *She says to herself*

Nani: *hear Ivy* h-huh? *Puts out her cigarette and finds Ivy under a tree and walks up to her* H-Hey Ivy...

Nani: I'm... S-SORRY I yelled... *Wipes her own eyes*

(poops didn't mean to put caps) Nani: *she's fidgety* I didn't mean to tell at you. You were just pushing to hard...

Oops*

(FRICKIN AUTOCORRECT)

(no, no I can't) Nani: *hesitantly hugs her back*

Nani: *sighs* it's okay. I-I'm sorry t-too...

Nani: I wasn't helping either. I just don't anyone else to get hurt....

Nani: ..... *Let's go* I can't stop.....

Nani: I tried but I can't..... I really want to but I can't... I can't stop.

Nani: *rubs her arm and looks down* okay...

Nani: hey, those took forever to make. ;m;

Nani: *sighs* it's okay...

Nani: you can come inside my house if you'd like?...

Nani: *walks to her door and opens it for Ivy* go on

Nani: np *walks in and closes the door* *you can hear her phone binging like crazy, as if someone is texting her back to back* ugh. *She puts her phone on silent*

Nani: it's not important...

Nani: that are. They are out right now.

They*
