~6~

Patton smiled softly at Logan as he was speaking to Remus when a loud screech caused everyone in the waiting room to jump and stare at the door with fright. Patton stood up a made his way over to towards the door before Deceit grabbed his arm, shaking his head, "He cannot work through this." Patton gave Deceit a look before Remus piped up, "He'll be okay, it's her job as a therapist." They fell quiet and sat back down, Patton shifting against Logan for comfort.

Roman stared at the red and white blob trying to make heads or tails of it, still unable to hear a word clearly. He made noises of stress as he shifted until his back touched the wall and he held his hands over his ears, muttering something along the lines of "Help me..." His heart pounded loudly, drowning out the noise that seemed to make him freak.
"Take a deep breath, Ro, and it's okay if you can't the first few times." A soft voice broke through the loud booming. His body slightly shook as he took in a shaggy breath. "You're doing great, now take another one." The soft voice spoke again and he focused, listening to another person breathe with him. He looked up in surprise as his body was beginning to receive the right amount of air and gave a very weak smiled to Virgil, who sat down next to him, "There you go." Roman leaned over against Virgil and just listened to the steady heartbeat. His shaking slowed down and he felt much more in control of his movements.
Roman took a deep, shaky breath and blinked away the tears that were still clinging to his eyes. He looked up, hoping to see Virgil and frowned when he saw Lucy. Her hand was placed on his shoulder and rubbing it in a calming manner, she stayed silent before slowly standing and making her way over to the desk. Roman watched her, he felt vulnerable. He stood and walked over to her door, grabbed the handle and hurried out of her room; ignoring his friends in the waiting room and rushed out of the building. He had one place in mind and wasn't going to stop until he got there.
Roman sped walk as fast as his legs would take him, continuously ignoring his friends running behind him trying to get him to stop so they could talk about what happened. He was sick of talking, of being surrounded by people just talking about him instead of to him. He gripped his hands as he began to shake again and broke off into a full out sprint.

Roman ran, pushing through his burning lungs and aching legs, until he came to a stop in front of the old apartment building that he used to live in. He stared up at the building and frowned as there was a light on in the room he was looking at. He hurried up the stairs and shoved his way through the door before he continued up a few flights pausing at the end of the hallway as he saw unfamiliar men walk into the room and brought out furniture, pictures, etc. Anger didn't even began to explain how Roman felt as he marched up to them, slamming the already open door against the wall to gain their attention, "What the hell do you think your doing!?" A woman walked forward and gave a small smile, "I'm sorry Roman, I can't keep letting you pay rent for an apartment that you don't live in. There's a lovely little family ready to get settled." He recognized her as the landlord and the anger faltered into sadness, "...Mary..." She looked guilty and walked over to touch his arm when he backed away from her. "I remembered your new address and prepared the moving van to send everything to you." She spoke softly as if she rose her voice any louder, the broken man in front of her would shatter. Roman slowly moved out of the way and watched as they continued to pack all of their belongings. He was losing Virgil too fast, it made his head spin and his heart ache.
"Roman! There you are!" Patton called out from the end of the hallway and rushed to give him a hug. Roman flinched at the human contact before he hugged Patton back as tight as he could, sobbing into the smaller male's shoulder. Remus frowned as Deceit let out an hiss and went to find the landlord, who needed a stern talking to. Patton turned when Roman finally let go of him and softly asked "Is this your old apartment?" Roman barely nodded to answer the question before he pulled Patton inside, "Yeah, this is where I used to live before I moved." His voice barely was above a whisper and Patton strained his hearing. "I- we used to live here together, he meant everything to me Pat, and now my world is just crashing down around me. He's gone and I don't want to lose him! I don't want to lose the best thing that ever happened to me." Roman looked at Patton, "Please Patton, help me. I need help and I'm losing this battle." Roman grabbed his hands and looked into his eyes, pleading. "I'll help you, Roman." He spoke softly and pulled the taller male back into another hug.
