Letters from the boy next door (COMPLETE)

Tree house

TW:Bullying, Knife, Blood

It had been a few weeks. It had been awhile since I started homework too. I suddenly got a text, was it Roman!? I quickly picked up my phone hoping to see a text saying it was him. And to my luck, I saw it.

***-***-****: Hey Virgil, it's Roman

Virgil: Hey Roman! How are you?

Roman: Not much, just...

Virgil: Whats wrong?

Roman: would you like to go out with me?

Virgil: Um I can't leave my house today

Roman: Could I come over then?

Virgil: Sure?

Roman: Thank you I love you

Virgil: Roman what did I tell you in the first note? I won't tell you I love you without knowing you first

Roman: Of course

Roman soon knocked on my door. I quickly opened it. I found Matt instead of Roman. My face fell and every emotion I had soon turned to fear.

"What's wrong V? Scared?" He laughed. He pushed me into the house. He started to punch my sides, where they couldn't be seen. I dropped to the floor.

"Just to tell you, this was a prank, Roman was to lead you on, then as soon as he got your number he sends us over to teach you a lesson." He kicked my side and I yelled out in pain. "And that lesson? Is that you can't be loved, he tried even. But your so pathetic that he couldn't find anything, and he is a hopeless romantic type of person. He likes everyone at one point or another. And the one person he can't find it in? Is in you." I saw Jake, Luke, and Ryder walk in. I felt more kicks and soon saw a knife, throwing me into a panic attack. I curled in on myself and passed out.

When I woke up, I saw blood around me. I didn't feel like I could move. But I managed to get up. I went to the bathroom and washed off my face then returned to the kitchen. I looked at my phone and saw Romans number, I blocked it and put it back down. I set my head in my hands and just thought about what happened. I hear shuffling outside my door. I walk over to the door and open it. I see Roman standing there.

"Roman" I say sternly. I'm upset and mad about why he had told his friends to do.

"What's wrong love?" He asks worry spreading on his face, why is he worried! He broke me, he sent his friends over just to beat me.

"You can't call me that, not anymore at least." I look down seeing a note, I was even more pissed. He tells his friends to beat me then comes to give a note like old times? "What? Here to give me more lies?" I slammed the door in his face and locked it. I slip down the door and cried. I cried because I couldn't believe it. I waited until I heard him leave. I unlocked the door and opened the door. I took the note he left. Opening it I read,

Dear V,

Thank you for your number, but there is a problem. Jake, Luke, Matt, and Ryder took the note and put your number in their phone scribbling out the number so I couldn't use it. Please don't freak out, it will be okay so if you get a text from me it is not actually me... I'm sorry that this happened but I have to figure out a way to make this up to you... Here is my number, write to me on there ***-***-****. Maybe we can go on a date?

Love,
Roman

I can't believe him... I can't tell if this is true either. Yes the number is different but the guys probably used their phone. I set the note on the floor and grabbed my shoes off the rack next to me. Slipping on my shoes I grab my phone from the table, I quickly clean the blood and go to the park.

I arrived at the park and went to the forest. I walked to a specific place. Where me and my brother had made a tree house. I'm going to fix it up and  restore it. I need a project to distract me. I look up at the tree house. It was maybe 15 feet up, I could always make it higher but I thought it was fine. I remember that we took over a year just to get the floor down because we had to save every penny we found on the ground just to get wood. In the end we just bought enough wood for the floor and two packs of nails. We used rocks to hammer in the nails and used random sticks that we found for walls. We had stolen a wooden ladder from our neighbors, they had always kept it next to the shed. Let's just say they weren't happy when they found it missing. Me and Dimitri of course quickly ran from the house after that. I shake the memory away and test the ladder. The rail breaks under my weight. Awesome. Add that to the list.  I decided before I did anything I would have to get a hammer, nails, and some wood for the floor boards.

After buying everything, I have to find a way to transport all the wood there. Patton could help. Was Patton apart of this all? I mean he had texted me multiple times I didn't answer though. He probably helped it too. I grabbed a bag and put the hammer and nails in it. I carried the long pieces of wood and walked to the park. I entered the woods and walked to the tree, I lost a few pieces but as soon as I get there I'll go back and get them. I walk right under the tree and drop it all off. I retrace my steps and collect the other pieces. I again drop it off under the tree. I hide the bag under the wood. I walk home and go to the garage. I find the metal ladder that I had bought to fix the roof. I again walk all the way back to the tree house. Surprised no one has stopped me yet. I set the ladder up and climb it. Testing the floor boards they don't collapse.

After a few hours I've remade the floor of the tree house. I check the time to find it being almost 10:30.

Finally home, I walk up to the porch. I see another note. I pick it up and walk into my house.

Virgil,

I'm sorry. I can't tell you enough that I'm sorry. If you don't want to ever see me fine. But please what happened? I don't know what they did but it wasn't me. Just text me I promise I'll make it up. Again, here's my number ***-***-****. I'm sorry text me and I'll explain it all. I'm sorry please answer Pat, he has nothing to do with any of this he just delivered your notes. I didn't even know what the others had planned. Please V I'm sorry. Just let me tell you my side then you can do whatever you want. Maybe it will make me feel better about all my mistakes and hopefully help you feel better about this all. I'm sorry. I don't have the right to say I love you, so I won't but I wish I could because I truly do.

There was tear drops on the note. I threw the note down and reached for my phone. I go to my contacts and add a new one, Roman Prince.

A/N: quick random thing, since  I'm learning how to write in binary code, it may or may not show up in the story
