Saving My Love

Saving My Love Part 4

Chapter 4, The Next Step

Roman's POV

I woke up with a heavy weight in my chest & something tickling my nose. I looked down & saw Virgil laying in my chest. How'd she get there? I wondered. Then I remembered last night. I smiled. I kissed her. I kissed her & she didn't reject me. Instead she kissed back. Virgil shifted. "Good morning Roman." She said looking up at me bleary eyed. "Morning Virge." I said back. We sat up & she leaned against my arm. I looked down & kissed her lightly. "Hey Roman!" Logan called from the other room. "Virgil's gone!" "Oh sh*t" I said quietly, louder I called. "He's in here!" Virgil jumped up & yelled in a voice that sounded just like her male self "Give me back my godd*m Nightmare Before Christmas poster!" I smiled at her "But it's Disney!"

"I don't care! It's mine and I want it back!"

"Um guys can u stop bickering?" Logan yelled. "Breakfast is ready! It's Saturday! That means Patton's making pancakes! Hurry up or there won't be any left!" "Fine were coming!" I yelled. We heard Logan leave & I said "So. Are you gonna turn back?" "Huh?" She asked. "Oh yea." With that a cloud of purple smoke engulfed her & the standing before me was Virgil. Thomas's anxiety. Not the girl I kissed. Not the girl I would die for. I have to see her as Thomas's anxiety. The man I can't stand. The one thing who stops Thomas's dreams from happening. She walked down to breakfast. "Hey guys." Logan said from the table. "Hey Logan." I said taking a seat Virgil came to the table & sat down across from me. "Hey." Virgil said almost inaudible. "What's up kiddos!" Patton said coming in with a plate of pancakes. He sat that plate on the table & sat down at the end of the table. "Dig in kiddos." Patton said reaching for the syrup.

"Well." Logan said after the last scraps of pancakes had all been eaten. "Best go finish my work." With that he stood up & hurried to his room. Patton stood up & went to his room to finish a book or something. I followed Virgil into her room. "Are you ok?" I asked. She turned around and said. "I wanna tell Thomas."

"Tell Thomas what?"

"Everything. That I'm a girl. What happened last night..."

"Ok. Do you wanna go pop in on him?"

"Ya. But you stay here."

"What why?"

"So he doesn't think anything before I tell him. No assumptions."

"Ok then."

With that she disappeared leaving a trace of purple smoke in the air. I walked into my closet & put on my usual prince top over a white shirt & a pair of black jeans. I grabbed a pair of white converse & walked to my bathroom. I combed my hair & welled over to my bed. I sat down on the end & put my head in my hands.
