Virgil's POV~

       Today the voices are louder than ever, they are taunting me. I can't get rid of them. I've contemplated ending it all multiple times, but I only think that way when the voices are too loud to ignore. I sit on the couch and put in my headphones, I click a random station on Pandora. It turns to classical, I don't mind since it reduces the voices at least a little. I feel a presence next to me, it's Roman. He looks at me with curiosity, I ignore him as usual. Soon he starts to talk to me, "How's it going, Sunshine?" he says as he lightly puts his hand on my shoulder. I look at him, trying not to show my true emotions. He sees through it and pulls me into an embrace, I would usually fight away but... today I needed it. I wrap my arms around his neck, taking in the embrace. He pulls away, grabbing my hand and says, "We're always here for you, we will never push you away if you need to talk" I look into his eyes and smile, "Thank you Roman".

~sleep~

I awaken with a cold sweat, I had another nightmare... another nightmare where I end it all because of these taunting voices. "Why do you bother" "You know he doesn't love you" "Nobody would care if you did manage to man-up and end it all" They never stop, they always make me believe them. Today I gave in, today would be the day that I finally end it all.
