Roman wanders, alone, through the back gardens after the party. While Roman is lost in thought, Ben and Mark are also wandering through the gardens, searching for him.
"Roman? ROMAN!" Ben shouts.
"Hey," Mark puts a hand on Ben's shoulder, pausing Ben's shouting, "he's smart. If we can't find him, he doesn't want to be found. He'll come back when he's ready."
Roman hears Ben shouting his name in the distance. Roman begins to pace in worry, taking longer strides towards the Cap manor.
"They can't find me. If they find me they will stop me and ruin my plans."
Roman begins to run, quickly reaching the garden wall that separates the Mondays from the Caps. However, the brick wall is hidden behind so much overgrowth that Roman doesn't know where the gardens end and the wall begins. Before he knows it, Roman has run face-first into the wall.
"Oh SHIT, FUCK. That hurt like a BITCH. Oh fuck."
Roman holds his nose that has begun to bleed a little from the impact. Luckily, the vines covering the wall softened his blow, lessening his injuries.
Collecting himself and shaking off the run-in, Roman starts to search around for a way through, around, or over the wall. Eventually finding an exit through a gate, Roman quickly exits, locking the gate behind him. Once on the other side, Roman sees that he is in an alley and hopefully starts in the correct direction towards Julian's house. Finally reaching the side of the street where Julian's house is located, Roman is careful to stay out of sight, dodging street lights and keeping to the shadows.
"Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky."
He ninja-rolls across the street and scrambles over the wrought-iron fence and into the garden.

RomanceI've been meaning to write this since ninth grade. That was four years ago. This book is crude, it is uncensored, and there are no trigger warnings because life doesn't give trigger warnings. Read at your own risk. ○edited: 12/07/17○ ○edited: 01/15...
