Virgil: Hes helping my dads with setting up their console!
Virgil: He told me about you and I had to feed my curiosity! Your not as weird as he said you were!

Rome: How can we be strangers when we know each other's names?
Rome: Plus I thought it would be funny
Rome: And it was!
Rome: Thank you for giving me a smile!

Virgil: its not funny
Virgil: i paid for four pizzas
Virgil: and lo doesnt have one
Virgil: meaning we all have to share
Virgil: while this fucking pineapple and ham piece of shit just lays there
Virgil: because no one likes pineapple on pizza

Rome: Excuse you! I love it!
Rome: I suppose you were meant to text this 'lo' and texted me instead?

Virgil: dont know whether or not to be happy
Virgil: or creeped tf out

Rome: Oh hush you! I mean it in the kindest way possible!

Virgil: right
Virgil: fine if we are doing this
Virgil: whats up?

Rome: Perfect!
Rome: Nothing much! Merely walking home, is all! How are you?

Virgil: fine
Virgil: laying in the darkness
Virgil: listening to music
Virgil: staring out the window at the moon

Rome: Aha! You really are quite the emo!
Rome: I suppose it wasn't a phase?

Virgil: stfu

Rome: My bad! What music? I have recently gotten into Panic, if that warms your emo heart

Virgil: it doesnt warm it
Virgil: but panic is good

Rome: They are! I mean, I could stare at that man all day

Virgil: hm
Virgil: wait you dont like panic for the music do you

Rome: Nope ;)

Virgil: jesus dude
Virgil: im blocking you

Rome: No! Please not yet

Virgil: not yet?
Virgil: thats not at all creepy

Rome: Sorry aha
Rome: I am not trying to be creepy!

Virgil: then why not yet?

Rome: Because I'm having fun talking to you!

Virgil: uhuh
Virgil: now tell me the truth

Rome: What?

Virgil: no one has fun talking to me
Virgil: stop lying

Rome: I actually do very much enjoy our chats but if you want the truth
Rome: I am scared and merely needed a distraction

Virgil: scared? why?

Rome: Spider
Rome: Oh my friends arrived to take it away okay thank you for your time Virgil Dear! Talk to you soon!

Virgil: spider?
Virgil: its not a spider
Virgil: liar
Virgil: you were walking home
Virgil: whatever

18th March - 6:14pm

Rome: you're one of them aren't you?

Virgil: what

Rome: you're one of his sex toys!

Virgil: the fuck?

Rome: he's a cheating liar! That's all he is! That's all he will ever be! Some freak who pays for sex!

Virgil: uh
Virgil: wrong number?

Rome: So you're not someone he pays to have sex with?

Virgil: no?

Rome: well stay away from him
Rome: he's nothing but trouble

Virgil: ill bare that in mind

24 March - 9:41pm

Cheater: Hello Virgil!

Virgil: dont talk to me

Cheater: What? Why? What have I done?

Virgil: look at past texts you moron

Cheater: Oh I must've left my phone unlocked
Cheater: Well I suppose this is it, huh?
Cheater: I guess this isn't the first or the last time I will lose a friend like this

Virgil: we were never friends

Cheater: I suppose not
Cheater: See you around, Virgil

16th June - 12:00am

Cheater: I have to say this before I go
Cheater: Whether or not you read it it is up to you
Cheater: the last time we spoke you regarded me as a cheat and left our 'friendship' there. And I can see why.
Cheater: it has happened before and none of them believed me when I told them differently
Cheater: the woman who texted you telling you I cheated wasn't my girlfriend. I didn't even know her name. She was right about one thing, however, I do pay for sex. I couldn't find another job, and unless I did this I would've been on the streets.
Cheater: in fact I've never been in a relationship before
Cheater: I wanted to tell you this because even if you don't think it I thought of us as friends. You were the only person to want to have a conversation with me - even if they were brief and not often, you always managed to make me smile.
Cheater: that night, I lied to you about a spider? I was walking home, but I was scared because I don't like the dark. Childhood trauma sticks.
Cheater: I don't want to do this to make you feel sympathy
Cheater: I just needed to do this so at least one person on this earth knows I'm not that bad before I'm gone forever
Cheater: have a good life for me, Virgil.
Cheater: You deserve one
Cheater: goodnight, emo nightmare

17th June - 10:06am

Rome: I've never had a nickname before

Virgil: if you stay alive ill call you ro forever

Rome: Forever and ever?

Virgil: yes
Virgil: what happened? where are you?

Rome: on a cliff
Rome: after I texted I stared at the stars for awhile
Rome: I must've fallen asleep
Rome: silly me
Rome: I suppose I can't do anything right

Virgil: shut up dont say that
Virgil: get away from the edge
Virgil: no wait actually
Virgil: listen just dont move

Virgil: "Rome? Ro? Are you there?"

Rome: "Virgil...you have a beautiful voice"

Virgil: "Now's not the time, Ro. Are you still on the cliff?"

Rome: "You told me to not move.."

Virgil: "Well now I'm telling you to move. Go straight home. Right now. I'll be here"

Rome: "You won't leave?"

Virgil: "I promise"

20th October - 6:59pm

Ro: I don't think I've properly thanked you for what you have done for me since that day

Virgil: eh the fact you stuck around is good enough for me

Ro: Hmm, anyway! Guess what?

Virgil: whales can fly

Ro: Uhhhh..no..?
Ro: Because of my new job I have saved up quite a bit!
Ro: and guess who has plane tickets to Florida?

Virgil: shut up
Virgil: shut the fuck up

Ro: Oh, you seem so excited!

Virgil: shut up moron
Virgil: youd really spend money to see me?

Ro: I would do anything, mi amor

Virgil: shut up
Virgil: i told you youre not allowed to make me blush

Ro: Oh, I'm terrible sorry, Dearest!
Ro: But I'm afraid I will be breaking that rule quite a lot
