"Bullshit. There's no way in hell that Roman's in so much trouble that he can't tell me a single thing other than the fact he can't be around me at all. Coincidence? I think the fuck not!" Remus is speechless on the other end of the phone. I know for a fact he's just been ignoring me and picking his nose.
"What?" He says, I face palm and take a deep breath. "Seriously though what are you talking about?"
"Roman. Were you even listening?" I know he wasn't. He giggles and says,
"You tickle me emo, when was the last time I listened to anything. Let alone something to do with Roman."
"True." I continue to rant, I'm basically talking to a brick wall but it's better than nothing.
"I know it's been a week but I'm still mad. I mean I'm not mad...okay I guess I am, but I don't even know what's going on and I don't know if he's in trouble or if I'm in trouble and i hate it!" I'm panting slightly I didn't realise how fast I was talking.
"Okay can you please stop hyperventilating." I rolls my eyes and take a deep breath. "Now say all of that again...but slower." I roll my eyes. "Alright I can almost feel you rolling your eyes through the phone, so my advice...make up sex." I go red.
"Remus what
"Hear me out, it'll work."
"Thanks for your help." I say sarcastically.
"Anytime Virge." I snicker down the phone.
"Alright you rat, get off the phone before I call pest control, I gotta go."
"Shit not again." He hangs up and I laugh to myself, I've gotten to know Roman number two a lot better since Roman number one's been outta service for a week. Remus is now my crackhead best friend and Roman's replacement. (Roman's not too happy about it.) The only downside to Roman number two is that I can't make out with him, not that I would want to. Shit that came out wrong, it's only been a week I can't miss him that much...but I do, I miss him so much. He's not even that far away but it honestly feels like he's halfway across the planet. I can't get him outta my head, I have to see him. I go to text him and find there's already a message there.

Virge ik I said no texting but I've been thinking and I just have to see u
This is driving me insane
                                  
Me too but u know we can't
             It's too dangerous
Ik ik u just gotta trust me though
Do u trust me?
                     Yes
See @ the cemetery then
Midnight
          Quite the reckless one aren't u?
U could say that
I'll see u there cutie ❤️
                     See u there 🖤

I feel a smile tug at my lips and the corners of my mouth turn up. My face lights up and I try to contain my excitement but can't. I lie flat on my bed grinning to myself. I look back at the text a hundred times and smile a hundred more, my face hurts from smiling so much. I can't even remember the last time I smiled like this, kinda depressing really. Anyway, it's eleven thirty and I'm out the door. I get to the cemetery and tread carefully past gravestones to get to the small church. It sits crookedly on a hill beyond the graves, the building looks like it's about to collapse. I lean against its crumbling walls and shove my hands in my pockets, waiting for Roman. I hear a rustling from the woodlands that surround the perimeter of the cemetery. Only moments later does Roman emerge from the trees, he looks around and before I know it he's got his arms around me. I smile and hug back. "Miss me by any chance Princey?" I smirk.
"Maybe a little..." He mumbles, "Besides I know you missed me too."
"It's only been a week Ro, I'm not that clingy." I roll my ayes at him, damn I'm bad at lying.
"Damn you're bad at lying." He smirks.
"Whatever Princey." He smiles and kisses my cheek, we both just stand there smiling. I'm drowning in those chocolate brown eyes and we both start leaning in. Within seconds his lips are on mine and I can see the cliche scene playing out in my head over and over again. How dreamy it all looks in my head must be so much different to what any passers by might see. I mean it's just two teenagers making out behind a cemetery in the middle of the night to them. We pull away smiling, Roman sighs and leans against the wall, staring out into the pitch black as he takes my hand. He sighs then brings my hand to his face and kisses my knuckles lightly. "This sucks, this whole having to sneak around just to get a moment with you."
"Yeah..."
