Between Dreams | Sander Sides Story

Chapter 17

(Virgil Pov)

I jolted awake. My forehead was dripping with sweat. I used my sheet's to dry the perspiration. White sheets, my sheet's aren't white. I look over at the body next to me. Roman. Oh My God. Did I score some? Go, Virgil, I thought to myself. This briefly distracted me from my dream.

I sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed my eyes. The body behind me moved about. I felt hands wrap around my waist. I look down at the man who was smiling at me. Once he saw my expression his grin faded.

He was about to ask what was wrong when there was a knock on the door. Patton yelled through the door that breakfast was ready. I pulled away and began to get changed. I threw on my purple ripped shirt and my black and purple patchwork jacket that Roman had dubbed 'The Frankenstyle jacket'. He is an idiot sometimes or most of the time. The rest of the outfit is irrelevant but if for some reason you are interested, it was black skinny jeans and a pair of black vans.

This was usually the time where Roman says that we don't have to have breakfast but today was different. He too got up and got changed. Luckily we weren't filming today so we could wear whatever we wanted. Typically for videos, we wear the same thing unless the video requires it. Roman strayed from his video and typical 'prince' outfit and dressed more casual.

Every day was like a buffet. The common room was filled with people. It would be for the next three hours while breakfast is being served. The common room was recently expanded and there was two sections now. The part with all the food which had been called both the dining room and the cafeteria, and the part where you just hang out also known as the lounge room. The food section reminded me of a school cafeteria hence the name.

I grabbed my food and left not waiting for Princey to get his food. Logan, Patton and Melissa were already at our table. Melissa had once again stolen the bottle of honey from the condiments table. She loves the stuff. She was wearing heavily tinted shades. Her elbows were resting on the bench. She was rubbing her forehead.

"You went out drinking again, didn't you?" I asked as I sat down in front of her.

"You told you," she asked as she was about to drink the honey.

"Or your still drunk" I removed the bottle of honey from her hands. "Who were you with this time?"

"I'm not tellin' you nothin'" she slurred her words.

I scanned the cafeteria. Anyone who looked even slightly drunk could be the person she tagged along with. Roman came back and told us about how Sanity threw up in the scrambled eggs. Patton said something about us needed green ham so then we would have green eggs and ham. I paid the comment no mind.

Sanity threw up. The words repeated in my head. He was hunched over were the eggs were hurling. Gross. His partner was threatening someone who was trying to help his boyfriend. Classic Insanity. I found our duo.

"I thought he was learning". Logan tsked at the sight of Sanity. He flipped to the next page of his newspaper. "This would be the fifth time this week."

It was the fifth time this week this had happened. It was also the fifth time this week Melissa was like this at breakfast. Mel's face fell into her food.

"For god's sake. I am taking you to your room" I stood up and walk over to Mel spot across from me.

"But I'm not tired" she must have thought I said bed.

I grabbed her by her pyjama top and dragged her out of the room. She threw a tantrum the whole time. I took her to her room and placed her on her bed. She pouted. I closed the bedroom door and grabbed a chair from the corner of her room and moved it closer to her. Spending time with a drunken Melissa sounded better than sitting with my boyfriend. What went wrong?
