(Xela's pov)

Roman crashes to the ground with a loud thud and I rush over to him immediately.

"Roman?!" I look at his pale face.

Shit, he lost too much blood.

I panic a tiny bit.

Who was the person who found out about Romans cutting? Decimal? No. Derick? No. Deceit? Yes!

I run up to Roman's door and open it cautiously. I peek my head out and see nobody.

Looking down the hall, I see a blue door with a brain on it, a light blue door with a heart on it, a purple door with a storm cloud on it, a green door with some weird sword on it, a yellow door with a two headed snake on it, and finally, a plane orange door, no symbol at all on it.

The yellow one must be Deceit's. I remember him wearing yellow for that 2 second glance I had of him.

I walk timidly down the hallway, hoping nobody sees me. Finally reaching the yellow door, I knock on it.

A few seconds pass by...

No answer.

I knock again.

No answer.

Fuck, is he not in his room?

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

I look around a bit.

Should I try the green door?

I walk up to the green door and hesitantly knock on it.

Almost immediately, somebody answers.

"Yes, Decei-" He stopped mid sentence. "Who the hell are you and why do you look like me and Roman?"

"Uh, that's not important, but right now Roman needs help." I say impatiently.

"With wha-" I pull him out of his room and race back down to Romans room.

I open the door to an even paler Roman on the floor.

Fuck, is he dead?

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!" The green and black dressed person asked once I closed the door.

"Um. Let's not talk about that." I didn't really want to explain to him that I forced him to cut himself.

Green dude rushed over to Roman and fell down to his knees.

"Roman!" He called, but nothing happened. "Fuck!"

He turned him over and saw his arm.

He didn't say a word. He just stared, tears rolling down his cheeks and hitting the floor.

He choked out a sob and covered his mouth with his hand.

"He's not.. he's not dead is he?" He sobbed out.

"I don't think so.." I walk up to him, knowing he's not dead. "If he was dead, then I'd be dead too."

"What?" He looks at me, still crying, but you could see the small spark of hope in his eyes.

"Uh, I'm one of his.. personalities." I explain, leaving out the part that I'm his depression.

"Which one?" He asks.

"I don't know if Roman would want you to know or not." I kneel down at Roman and put two fingers up to his throat to check if he's alive. "He's still alive."

"Oh, thank god." He sighs, hugging Roman.

"Why do you care so much?" I question.

"The hell?! I'm his brother!" He yelled.

"Oh." I look away. "Well, do you know anybody that could help? I don't want my host to die."

"Virgil." He stands up as my eyes widen. No! He doesn't even care for him! He's cheating on him with Deceit!

Green dude walks over to Romans door.

"But he's cheating on Roman with Deceit!" Green dude stops dead in his tracks. "He wouldn't want to help Roman!"

Green dude opens Romans door, walks out, and slams it shut.

Shit, I don't think that helped.

Suddenly I hear muffled yelling coming from a bit down the hallway.

Yeah, that didn't help at all. It's true though, right? I mean, he's been hanging out with him non-stop...

More muffled yelling is heard.

Romans door slams open and a crying Virgil is pushed into the room. Romans brother just slams the door back shut and leaves.

Virgil grabs his wrist as if it were in pain.

"Fuck." He sobs out.

He looks up to me and tries to wipe his tears away.

"Who the hell are y- Roman!" He sees Roman on the floor and starts crying again.

"Um, he lost too much blood and fainted. I didn't know what to do, so I tried to get Deceit, which he already knew about Roman's uh.. cutting, but he wasn't in his room, so I got Romans brother, and he said you would be able to help." I explain.

"Deceit knew about this?!" He screamed.

"Uh.. yea-"

"I told him to tell me if anything was wrong!" He cried.

"They made a promise!" I countered.

"That doesn't fucking matter!" He yelled at me. He ran into Romans bathroom and flinched when he opened the door.

He shook his head quickly and went inside, grabbing the first aid kit from under the sink.

He ran out of the bathroom and back over to Roman.

Quickly sitting down, he opened the first aid kit and pulled out new gauze and wrapped them around his arm.

After he finished that, he pulled Roman up to sit up against his bed.

Virgil stared at him for a few seconds before breaking down crying once again.

I walked up to him and hugged him. He turned and sobbed into my shoulder for who knows how long.
