Virgil's POV-
"What's the point Thomas?" I antagonize. "It will be over before you know it." I continue. "In a flash it will just be a memory."
"Virgil. Don't say that. Theatre is a lovely experience and it helps put yourself out there." Roman pushes himself center. Like always.
"Virgil. I think Roman has a point. Let Thomas do what he pleases and jump in for those last minute nervous. Like you normally do." Dad says. I'm not feeling like calling him his name today.
"I'm just saying. The whole thing will be over be-"
"Virgil!" Roman yells at me. I feel myself get worse. I ran back to my room, my safe spot before Roman says anything else. "I'm sorry Thomas. I just ruin everything." I yell. I am in my room. I throw on my head phones and burry my head in the pillows on my bed. I'm now asleep.

Roman's POV-
"Virgil!" I yell. He runs off. I immediately fill with guilt. "He never runs off like this. Logan. Is he okay?" I hear Virgil shouting. What is he saying? It's something to Thomas. "What do you expect me to know? I'm just logic. Maybe go talk to him? You are his... fam? Did I use it right?"
"Almost Logan." Thomas spoke up. "Maybe he needs to know you don't hate him fully Roman."
"I don't it's just he is a handful."
"Thomas. You haven't changed at like you normally do when he does this."
"I think he might still be there but just in his room. I'm still fine then and something pops up.. like Virgil. And then anxiety. Anyways. Yes. You all can be a handful. One emotion takes over and then push the rest to the back. It happens."
I walk to Virgil's room. Its silent. Is he asleep? I slowly open the door and see sleeping Virgil. I see tears stain his cheek with the black eyeshadow running down his pale face. "I did this" I whispered. "I'm sorry Virgil." I sit next to the sleeping boy.

Virgil's POV-
Someone sits next to me. I open my eyes and see Roman. "Roman? What are-" he cuts me off with a hug. I am hesitant but hug back.
"Virgil. I didn't mean to. We have this love hate relationship and I took it too far today." I look at Roman.
"You didn't do anything I just had. Stronger feelings then normal and didn't want to hurt Thomas."
"That's why he wasn't crazy this time."
"Wait. Did you say. Love hate relationship. You don't hate me?"
"Why how could I hate you? With out your nervousness of what if Thomas forgets his lines makes him rehearse even more. Thanks to you, Thomas is a better actor."
"Roman. I. Uh. Thank you?" I felt this feeling different then before. It's not something that would go through to Thomas, just a me emotion. Can emotions have other emotions? What is this. Why do I feel this way. I thought. I hugged him without thinking. "Thank you." I repeated.
"You're welcome." He hugged back.
