And they were roommates (( Zosan ))

November

Zoro had no plans on leaving the others so suddenly. He didn't think to leave at all if it wasn't for the message he had received from his sister. The message he only managed to read seconds before his phone died on him. While leaving the party, he cannot recall for the life of him what happened to it after that ; all Zoro knows is that his phone is missing, unaware that it's broken and that Nami has it.

The message read from what he can remember was -
' Dad's in hospital! Please come home, I need you!' - Perona

The shock of it all caused Zoro to drop everything without a second thought. Despite what happened with Sanji and finally having a moment, the message freaked Zoro out so much he lost it, unable to stay there any longer than he needed to ; his main focus was to run and somehow get home.

Being absolutely wasted on alcohol and looking like he had been shot in the head didn't quite help his situation. Honestly? It made him feel guilty, partying while his dad had been rushed to hospital? Nevermind guilty, he felt so selfish. Not to mention the message was received hours before the party had even begun and he had not once thought to check it prior.

If he wasn't so, distracted... He would have never gone to that damn party. How he managed to get home? He cannot remember.
The occasional flashes of multiple transportations come to mind : Uber? Train? Either way, he made it home the next morning. Just in time to see his sister walking up to their front door. She looked exhausted.

" Perona! " He slurred his words, fumbling over his feet as he wanders over towards her ; his makeup all smudged and worn down.

" Zoro! You're here!- You got my message then? Why didn't you reply!" Perona huffed, hurrying over towards her brother to help him. He stinks. Not to mention he looks absolutely wrecked, was he at a Halloween party? She wondered, examining him more closely ; she gets the impression he stopped drinking hours ago, so it's possible he's in the midst of being tipsy or hungover.

" I- I lost my phone- I'm sorry! I'm here now! Where's Dad? Is he okay? Is he home?" Zoro said repetitively, demanding answers. He can't be gone, he has to be okay.

" Zoro! Hey! Calm down! I'm sorry- I shouldn't have messaged you! He's okay! He just had a bad fall, Dad's still in hospital... I just left " Perona explained the best she could, luring her Brother inside the house.

" I have to go see him!" Zoro demanded some more, wanting to just turn back around and run off to the hospital. Perona had to block the doorway just to stop him from trying.

" Zoro it's Six in the morning! He's resting! We can see him later okay? Get some rest you look exhausted!" Perona instructed him, shoving the boy up the stairs ; still blocking his exit.

" He's not got long left! What if I'm too late!? Please! Please for fuck sake let me go!" Zoro urged her, tumbling up the steps backwards.

" Zoro no! You've been drinking! He's okay I promise you! He'll be there when you wake up! Go to fucking bed !" Perona sighs, already regretting sending Zoro that message. In the moment, she panicked and she wanted her brother , she felt so alone and helpless.

After several long dreadful minutes, the girl manages to put Zoro to bed ; going as far as to sit in front of his door, just to make sure he won't sneak out. She's aware their father hasn't got long left but he has months left to live! Is that why he's freaking out so much? Has Zoro assumed he passed away? " That idiot... " She sighs to herself, barely able to keep her eyes open ; in just under a minute, she falls asleep on the floor. She really underestimated how exhausted she was herself, she's been so busy looking after their dad that she's barely had any time for herself.
