Roman's Angel

Chapter 7

'I fucked up...

I'm always fucking up. Renee broke up with me. She knows.

I'm falling for another guy. Roman...I don't want to talk about it now. I'm still confused about my feelings for him.

I needed to get out of her house. Took a cab over to Sami's. Had to call him to come & pay the driver, cause I lost my fucking money! My stepdad probably spent it most of it on booze.

I still got my zippo lighter...and my knife. That baby is very handy, helps me get out of sticky situations, if you know what I mean.

Home now. My stepdad is yelling from downstairs. He's such an asshole. Why is he making my life so fucked up? I hate it so much. I want to die. Lets list off what's going wrong: Abusive father, bruises, perverts, an ex, BARON CORBIN.

What's going right: I still have friends, mom's still alive, music, Roman (Idk what he is ugh)...that's about it...'

"Meow."

Dean looked down, seeing his calico kitten, Ginger. He picked her up, nuzzling her nose.

"Hey, Ginger. Almost forgot about you." The kitten purred, going into his jacket, wanting to be warm. Dean continued writing.

'Oh. Ginger. Can't forget about my kitty :)

School's tomorrow. I'll talk to Roman, let him know I'll give us a try. I guess I want to see where it goes, but I'm still not sure if anything will come of it.

Roman...he's not like the others. He accepts me. He doesn't treat me like shit. Doesn't look at me like I'm weird. He wants to know me more, doesn't want just a piece of ass.

I don't know what it is. But when I'm with him I feel more like myself. Like I don't have to hide anything. I'm still scared though. This is new to me.

I'm still battling a whole lot now. Cut myself again. Have 11 new scars. It never seems to end, does it? I don't know why I'm like this...'

"Hey, Ambrose!"

Roman watched from afar as Baron shoved the auburn haired teen against his locker. He couldn't make out what was being said, but from the look on Dean's face, he knew that he was not happy.

'Why do you put up with his shit, Dean?'

A tap on his shoulder snapped him out of his thoughts. He turned to see Seth, who had Finn's arm wrapped around his shoulder.

"You're staring again."

"So?"

"Well, instead of just standing here and watching, how about you go and rescue your Juliet?"

"Stop it, Seth." Roman turned away, grabbing the rest of his books. "He's already made it clear to me that he just wants to be friends."

"What about you?"

"You should already know."

"Finn, Roman's being stupid." Seth looked at his boyfriend. "He's giving up too easily."

"Seth, maybe we should just let things be. Roman will be fine." Finn let go of Seth, getting closer to Roman. "If you need anything, you know we're here for you."

Roman was about to say something, when he felt someone grab onto his arm. He looked over, seeing Dean standing next to him.

"Hey, Dean. What's up?"
