Ruins

Virgil's POV:

I sit in the movie theater, waiting for Roman to come. I check the time. 12:25. He's 25 minutes late and the movie starts in five minutes. What the fuck is taking him so long?

Nevertheless, I keep on sitting there, waiting and waiting, even after the movie begins, and then I feel my phone buzz. Shit, I forgot to put it on Do Not Disturb, but whatever.

I check the text and it's one from Roman. "Hey, sorry, I forgot about today. I'm spending it with Logan and Patton. I'm sorry." I frown and feel tears soak my eyes, but I just rub them away and answer. "It's alright. I understand. Maybe we can hang out next time. Love you😘" He reads it but doesn't respond.

I leave the movie theater and drive home, falling down onto my bed and closing my eyes, wishing for the pain to wash away.

One Week Later

I sit at the very fancy restaurant in my purple and white tux, waiting for Roman. I check the time. 6:00. He's a half an hour late, but that's alright. As long as he shows up.

A waiter comes over and asks me, "Would you like to order yet, sir?"

I nod and say, "Yeah, I'll just have a glass of water and some pasta."

The waiter takes my menu, leaving the other one for Roman, and walks away. I look back down at the time. 6:03. I look around the place. Still no sight of him.

After about a half an hour, my food is brought to me. I start eating, still seeing no sign of Roman, who is now an hour late. I feel tears slide down my cheeks, but I ignore them and keep on eating, even if I get concerning looks from people. And then I hear my phone ring.

I pick it up and see a text from Roman. "Hey, babe, sorry I couldn't make it. I've been held up at the house working on my new painting. Have fun at Avellino's." I put my phone away without responding and frown. He got the name of the restaurant wrong. It's The Castle Gold. And he didn't even say happy anniversary.

The waiter comes back and I ask for the check. I then pay and leave, hardly eating any of my food. It was good, but I'm just not in the mood right now.

2 Weeks Later

I come home early from work, parking in the driveway and grabbing my things before I head inside. Except when I look up, I see a car that I don't recognize, and I also see Roman's car. He should be at work right now. Why isn't he at work? And who's car is that?

I shake my head and open the door, surprised at it being unlocked. I set my stuff down and look up at the staircase, hearing laughing from up there in my bedroom. Maybe Roman is hanging out with a friend or something.

I slowly walk up the stairs, trying not to make a sound, and then I tip toe over to the bedroom. I crack open the door a little, trying not to make any noise. I then peek inside.

Inside, I see Roman tickling another man on our bed, both of them naked. They then stop and start to make out and I slowly back away, tears in my eyes. But then I hear Roman say to the man, "I love you," and the man says "I love you too." I start to cry, holding my hand over my mouth to stifle my sobs. How could Roman do this to me?

I grab my things and quickly get back in my car, checking the time. 4:45. I have fifteen minutes to spare. Then I'll come back home and pretend like nothing happened. But I can't do that! My husband is fucking cheating on me!

I pull out of the driveway and park at a nearby grocery store, trying to calm myself down, but nothing works. I scratch at my arms and I feel myself starting to have a panic attack. "Calm down, Virgil, calm down," I whisper over and over again, but it doesn't work.

I curl up in a ball, crying. "Die, die, die. I just want to die." I quickly wipe away my tears and grab my phone, knowing what I have to do.

Roman's POV:

Michael leaves and guilt eats away at my heart. Why the fuck did I say I love you to him? I don't love him. I love Virgil. But then why have I been treating him like shit lately? I don't know. I honestly don't know.

My phone rings and I look down to see a text from Virgil. It says, "I know. Goodbye forever." He knows what? And what does he mean by goodbye forever?

Wait, does he....? NO! No no no no no!

I use my phone to track his phone and jump in my car, following the GPS and breaking many speed limits. I call Patton and say, "Patton, Virgil is going to kill himself. He's going to fucking kill himself. I need you to head to his office building, alright? The X-Company. Alright? Then I need you to somehow get to the rooftop, and tell Logan to do the same thing. Okay?" I hang up on him before he can answer and pull into a parking spot.

I get out of my car and run in the building, pushing past people and then heading up to the front desk. "Have you seen Virgil Prince?"

The man nods and points to the elevators. "He went over there."

"Thank you." I run over to an elevator and press on the button to the highest floor. After about five minutes or so, I reach my destination.

I push past everyone and look for the door to the roof. I quickly find it and I open it, rushing up the stairs. I open another door and then I'm up on the roof, breathing hard.

I see Virgil standing near the edge, looking down at the city. "Virgil!" I shout. "Don't jump! Come over here!"

He turns around, facing me, and he shakes his head. I take a step towards him and he takes a step back.

"You can't stop me!" He shouts.

"No, no, Virgil, DONT JUMP!" I yell, tears falling down my cheeks. And then he jumps and I run, I run so fast, to try to catch him, but it's too late. I look over the roof to only see darkness. "NO VIRGIL I LOVE YOU!" I feel someone pull me back from the edge and I fight them, trying to jump myself.

Two people drag me all the way from the edge and lean me up against a wall. I look up to see Logan and Patton staring down at me in concern, with tears in their eyes.

"He's gone," I choke out. "He's gone!" I scream and start to thrash, trying to get back to the edge, but multiple people hold me down. The police, Patton, and Logan.

But eventually, I break free, and then I see darkness and I land in Virgil's arms, knowing that forgiveness has come to me.
