TW:Kinda bullying?

I collapsed onto the ground. After pacing for awhile.

"I'm sorry Virgil, I'm so, sorry" I cried. I thought back to when Patton gave me the note,

Patton came up to me before class started,

"Oh! Hello again!" I said with my normal smile.

"Hey Ro! V told me to give this to you and for you to read it ASAP!" He said quickly before running off.

I opened the note and I couldn't believe what it was. It was the note I lost. Instead of going to class I had run off to the catwalks above the theater. I sat there and cried. I looked over the note again and saw more writing,

Hey Sword Guy, or Roman. I wanted to say that yes I'm scared to actually talk with you. But I know that if I don't do what I'm about to do I will hide away and never speak to you or Patton because I'll be too scared. I may act like I'm not but that's just a cover. So, here
***-***-**** my number. I know that I'll be freaking out soon but I hope this helps us both...

He wrote it in black sharpie, to I'm asumming he didn't want to be able to go back on it. I was reassured by it and wasn't crying anymore. BSuddenly, the note was taken from my hands.

"Give that back!" I yelled. It was my 'friends'.

"Whatca gonna do about it?" Matt laughed.

"Give it back guys" I said firmly.

They turned around and read the note both my part and Virgil's.

"Ohhhhhh, Romans has a crush"  Ryder yelled. Luke grabbed the note and put the number in his phone.

"Guys I got the number let's do this!" Luke yelled. They all ran off except Jake with it the note. He took out a sharpie and scribbled over the number, then gave it back to me. He also ran off. I looked at the note in my hand and just cried.

I finally stopped crying and walked home.

When I walked in my mom greeted me then noticed my current state, tears in my eyes, bloodshot eyes, disheveled hair, and just a mess.

"Oh dear! What happened dearie?" She asked worriedly sitting me down and getting me a glass of water.

"The people who were my friends," I took a deep breath trying to keep calm "they, they took a paper my crush had written with his number on it and they put it in their phone while scribbling it out on the paper. So now I can't get his number.." I put my head down and started to cry again.

"Oh sweetie," she started to rub my back "I'm sure you can get it another way, maybe ask him for his number before your friends say anything?"

"I can't! It was a one time thing! He probably doesn't even want to talk.."

We continued to talk for an hour and came to the decision that I should send him a note to explain it. I went upstairs and started the note.

Dear V,

Thank you for your number, but there is a problem. Jake, Luke, Matt, and Ryder took the note and put your number in their phone scribbling out the number so I couldn't use it. Please don't freak out, it will be okay so if you get a text from me it is not actually me... I'm sorry that this happened but I have to figure out a way to make this up to you... Here is my number, write to me on there ***-***-****. Maybe we can go on a date?

Love,
Roman

A few weeks later and I'm staring at the note on my desk. I decide to take it over. I folded the paper into a square and out on my jacket. I ran out the house and over to Virgil's. I couldn't decide weather or not to actually hand it to him or leave it like normal. However I didn't get to make the decision.

"Roman" I look up to see the man I know and love, with an angry yet hurt look on his face.

"What's wrong love?" I ask worry spreading onto my face.

"You can't call me that, not anymore at least." He looks down to my hands and sees the note. "What? Here to give me more lies?" He closes the door and I hear it click. My eyes water and I set down the note walking back to my house.

R: Hey guys?

Logan: Yes, Roman?

Pat: What's up kiddo?

I went over the story and what happened a few minutes ago.

Pat: Oh my goodness!

Logan: Would you like Patton to talk with him?

R: That might help Please try Pat

Pat: of course!

I set my phone down on my desk and look at the food my mom brought up earlier. I don't have an appetite so it sits there all night.

The next day I find myself still at my desk. I hadn't sleep that night and was still thinking about it all. I couldn't get the look on his face off my mind. I had told my parents I was sick. My mother knew I was lying but let it go. I just hope that Virgil is okay, even if I can't be with him. I hope he can be happy. Maybe he will find someone, someone better than me.
