Just a quick A/N I'm only now realizing that this all has happened over a few weeks :/ so I have to either do massive edits or I have to tell you guys to pretend that it's over a few months heh. Sorry guys.... For now can you guys think this is over a few months???? Because one of the main plot points is in December and the book started in October, Virgils birthday month. Which also means I should probably do a Halloween chapter. I messed this all up pretty bad so December break at school will be mostly likely be me editing the book sorry again guys. But enjoy the chapter!
TW:none that I see

I took a deep breath and started the fake story,

"When I was young, me and my brother along with my mom and dad, had made this tree house. We had spent only a few days a week to make it so we didn't finish in time for winter. After the snow cleared and the woods wasn't like a swamp my parents had forgotten about it. However, being a young kid me and my brother were obviously obsessed with the mere thought of having a tree house. So after school we would walk here and continue working on it. We had decided we didn't want our parents to know about it, so we built in secret. That meant we couldn't ask for wood and nails or a hammer. So we built with what was left. And when we ran out of wood, the walls were needed to be made. So we just used some sticks. And the old ladder we used was from the shed. So yeah" During the whole explanation, I was nervously pulling at my sleeves.

"Thanks for telling me Verge" Verge? He smiled "wanna go get some food?"

"Sure?" I said hesitant. I wasn't sure why he wanted to we still had two walls to finish.

"Don't worry, we're gonna get some food and eat back here" He smiled back at me with his dashing smile. Wait dashing? Eh I mean it's not false.

We entered Olive Garden and Roman piled up the food we ordered about 20 minutes ago. It's strange we have an Olive Garden in our town, but it's nice. It's a change from the mom and pop stores around and one of the only ones.

"Thank you ma'am" Roman said politely.

The women looked over to me, "Are you two getting food for some special ladies?" She said suggestively.

"No I'm taking my dark prince here on a lunch break!" He said wrapping a arm around me.

"Oh," she said narrowing her eyes, "okay, have a good day" we turned and left the store, Roman finally taking his arm off me.

"Sorry about that V, I just assumed you were uncomfortable and went with my gut" he looked down "I'm sorry" he apologized again.

"Roman, it's fine. Just shut that pretty face of yours" I said with a smile wait, shit! "Wait not pretty face!" I yelled hiding in my hands.

"It's okay Virgil" he said calmly, the calm tone seemed to calm me down as well. I removed my hands from my face and turn to him.

"I haven't a clue what your doing to make me calm but I bet it's your princey magic or something" He looks to me with a smile.

"I might have learn a thing or two from the occasional dragon witch"

"What the hell is a dragon witch?" I laugh. He laughs too, that laugh of his calms me even more, puts me at ease.

"A old story I was told as a kid"

We continued on talk on our way back to the tree house. We set out the food once we sat down on the wooden floor.

"So, what's your family like V?" He says grabbing his food. Why'd he have to ask that!? Like really!?

"It's okay, what about yours?" I ask trying to throw the scent away from me.

"It's awesome, every sunday we have game night. Then every other Monday we have pasta. Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday we have whatever we discuss, nothings really planned on those days. Saturday morning we have a big breakfast. Then holidays like Christmas, our house is where the whole family comes! Oh and" he continued to ramble on about his family for about 20 minutes. "So yeah! That's my family" he smiled brightly at me. I gave a small smile back. Him talking about his brother and family made me miss mine even more. I'm technically a foster kid, but the people fostering me said I can stay at my house and they'll just help with money. So I'm a teenager age 15 living on my own practically. It's just his story of a family just reminded me of the people I loved getting burned by the flame. We continued to talk and eat.

We finished our food and put the trash in the bag we had from it.

"Ready to finish the tree house mi amor?" Roman asked.

"Yeah, question what does mi amor mean?" I ask I think it's Spanish but I can't tell. Even if I knew it was Spanish I wouldn't know what it means. He looks nervous.

"Uhm, you won't get upset right?" I nod, "well mi amor mean my love" he smile nervously. Princey did it again. I give him a small glare.

"Alright let's finish this tree house!" I say climbing down the ladder. He gives a half smile and joins me on the ground.

A few hours later and we've finished the walls, we decide to throw away our trash now and go home for the night. We walk in silence until my house.

"So, wanna meet up with Logan and Patton tomorrow?" Roman asked stopping at my door. He once again smiled, this boy can't stop smiling must be nice.

"Uh, sure" I answered nervously. He gives me a hug then walks away yelling bye.

That boy is a dream. What am I even thinking?? Whatever. I walk into my house sitting down at the table.
