What Are You Hiding, Roman Hart?

Shots

I am currently shitting myself. Literally. When I get anxious or scared about things, I get what I like to call the nervous poops. So I'm in the bathroom fighting for my life because I'm scared shitless.

I really don't want to go to this party because I know someone will eventually say something rude to me. I should be used to being made fun of but I got a sensitive heart I guess. I know I need to go to the party for Roman, but I'm terrified. Maybe if I die from pooping too much, then I won't have to go. Okay, I need to stop.

I heard my phone ringing in my bedroom, so I finished my "important business" quickly to go and answer the call. When I picked up my phone, I saw I missed five calls from Roman. Great, he's going to be pissed.

Roman gets mad at me when I don't answer my phone because he thinks something bad has happened to me. Well I mean, something bad happened in the bathroom. Okay, I really got to stop now.

I was about to call him back, when suddenly he burst through my door panting.

"Oli huff why didn't huff you answer your phone?", he asked frantically.

"Sorry I was in the bathroom and didn't hear it.", I said. I was mentally high-fiving myself for closing the bathroom door before he came in my room.

"You scared me. I thought something bad happened."

I honestly keep forgetting that the reason he's so scared of me being by myself is because of the people after him. I never thought of being attacked by them because I was friends with him. I shivered at the thought.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to worry you. I'm ready to leave now, so whenever you're ready to go we can leave.", I said.

"Okay let's go. We're already running a little behind. I just know the guys will give me hard time.", he said while sighing.

"Do you not want to go?.", I asked failing to hide the excitement in my voice.

"Not really, but I know I need to because they'll keep bugging me about it.", he said.

Stupid football idiots. "Okay let's go.", I said dejectedly.

I followed Roman out to his car and sat in the passengers seat. He got in the driver's seat and took off towards the party. We rode in comfortable silence on the way there with some light music playing on the radio. I was trying to focus on the lyrics of the songs playing instead of the knots forming in my stomach. This was going to be a long night. Alcohol sounded good right now if it could take the edge off.

Roman pulled near the house. I literally don't know how we got here that fast. It was like I blinked and then, boom, we were here. I looked at the house and saw a bunch of high schoolers and college students on the front lawn. Some people were already passed out in the bushes. Great, just great. I wonder what the inside of the house looks like.

I got out of the car with Roman and followed him inside. Before we went in, he stopped and turned to look at me.

"Oli, stay with me the entire time okay? Don't wonder off.", he told me.

"You actually thought I was going to venture off by myself, funny.", I laughed while saying.

Roman laughed with me before pinching my cheeks. He stared into my eyes lovingly while smiling at me. He grabbed my hand and pulled me inside the house. There were people everywhere. There was barely enough room to walk. I tried to keep holding Roman's hand but eventually lost it in the crowd of people. The one thing he told me to do, I didn't do.

I was about to start freaking out, when I felt arms wrap around me. My face was buried in his chest while he was nuzzling my neck.

"Fuck. That scared me. Sorry for losing you.", he said.

"I'm okay. Nothing bad happened. It's alright.", I said while rubbing soothing circles on his back. I wanted to comfort him the best way I could because I know how on edge he's been lately.

We stayed like that for a while enjoying each others company before someone had to ruin it.

"Look at the freak with his boyfriend. I bet he sucked his dick before he came here.", Ryan said while laughing with his idiot friends.

I looked over at him glaring when I realized that everyone was staring at us. I don't do good with staring. I started to panic and tried to pull myself out of Roman's arms, but he tightened them around me.

"Curious much? I didn't peg you for a cocksucker."Roman said.

Everyone started to laugh at Ryan and his face turned tomato red. He quickly pushed his way out of the crowd to go and hide like a coward. Everyone stopped staring at us and continued to party.

I looked up at Roman and said quietly, "Thanks."

"You don't have to thank me he deserved it.", he said while kissing me on the top of my head.

I blushed furiously. He did it again. He kissed me. Why does he keep doing that, and why does it give me butterflies? I was going to ask him why he did that, but a couple of the guys on the football team started to yell at us to come over to where the drinks were.

Roman's teammates shoved a drink in his hand and started to yell at him to chug. He gave me a sheepish smile before chugging the drink. Everyone started cheering around us when he finished. Quickly after that more drinks were passed our way. Any drink that was given to me, Roman would drink for me.

I could tell that he was starting to get a bit tipsy, but not too bad. He had a high intolerance. I was starting to get thirsty, so I decided to try and go find some juice. Hopefully they have capri suns.

"Hey I'm going to look for something to drink that doesn't have alcohol.", I said to Roman.

Before he could respond one of his friends said, "Here. Try this. It's nonalcoholic."

I took it out of his hands cautiously. I had no idea what type of drink it was, but he assured me it was juice. I took a drink and felt a burning sensation in my throat. I started to cough violently while that idiot laughed at me. Roman started rubbing my back out of concern while yelling at his friend. He grabbed my hand and took me to one of the empty bedrooms.

I sat on the bed and Roman handed me a water bottle. I have no idea when he had time to grab it, but I took it from him immediately. I chugged the whole thing quickly in hopes of soothing my throat. Roman kept rubbing my back the entire time.

"Are you alright?", he asked.

"Yeah. I just feel a little dizzy.", I said. I couldn't get drunk off of that little of an amount, could I?

"Why don't you lay down?", Roman asked.

I agreed and he pulled me to lay down with him while I laid on his chest. I sighed in content. This was the most relaxed I had been the entire time we've been here.

We laid in silence while listening to the party happening in the other parts of the house. I was starting to become drowsy and was quickly falling asleep. Unfortunately, my sleep would never come.

The window in the room shattered with a loud crash as someone came flying through. This person was dressed in black from head to toe. Before I could even process what was happening, they took out a gun and shot at Roman.
