Letters from the boy next door (COMPLETE)

Fighting

The next week was normal. Well normal as it was now. The day had always went, walk with Virgil to school. Meet Pat and Logan at school. Then get through first and second without getting in a fight with the bully group. However, Virgil and Logan are in my first class, Science. Second and Third are with Patton. Then Lunch, with everyone. And fourth and last period. Last period I have with Virgil at least.

"Hey Princey" Virgil said pulling me out of my thoughts. I give him a side hug, greeting him.

"Ready to go?" I ask starting to walk. He nods, putting on a new pair of headphones I got him. He originally refused them, but I got him to use them eventually. We walked to the Cafè, where we get hot cocoa and a coffee for Logan. The barista, Remy, greets us. Remy is the only school morning barista here, so it's very normal to see him. We order our drinks and are on our way after talking with Remy a bit.

We enter school grounds and meet with Patton and Logan at the front steps. We hand them their drinks and we set off for classes. Virgil, Logan and I walked to first period, Science. I walked in greeting the teacher. Virgil stayed quiet, staying close to me but not too close. We all sit together somewhere around the middle area of the class. More students filed in, leaving no more open seats. The teacher cleared her throat and began the lesson.

It was soon announced that we were going to be doing a group project. However, two people max was the group size. So of course me and Virgil wanted Logan in our group.

"I'm just saying, you always had him before we were friends." Virgil said with a small smirk on his face.

"That isn't the point! The point is that your good at Science!" I yelled, we had been bickering for the past twenty minutes.

"Who said I was?" His voice steady. I slammed my hands on the desk, standing.

"We are going to settle this the right way" I looked back over to him, finding him gone. Where did he go? I look to Logan, seeing him scowling in my direction. He slowly gets up,

"You might want to calm down and apologize to him really soon" He said glaring and walking to a different desk with one of his old friends. What happened?

A few hours later, and it was last period. I need to find out what happened with Virge. He wasn't at lunch, which Logan still kept a steady glare set on me. Patton was bubbly as usual. Well he was until he didn't see Virgil. He had went to go find Virgil, I had went to get up and help but Logan's glare kept me in my seat. My attention turns to the classroom. I glance around and don't see him. I know we have class together though. I wonder where he went. I hope he's okay.

I rush out of school and rush to Virgil's house. I see a note on the door, actually I see four. One addressed to me, one to Logan, one to Patton, and also one to his brother. Which is odd because we haven't heard anything about him being alive or dead yet. I take my note quickly and text Logan and Patton to come to my place. I take Patton's and Logan's notes back to my place and open mine.

Dear Roman,

You

Are

An

Asshole

Just to say though because you have questions I bet, you've always bullied me, so I mean I have reason to be scared of you. So when you yelled and slammed your hands down I got scared and bolted. You know, I've been feeling like shit lately and thinking about shit.Hell even thinking about suicide. But what topped the cake was the nice four rounds of beatings. By your friends.

There's a part scribbled out that I can't read but the note continues.

Basically Roman, I want you to fuck off. By the time you see this note I'll be dead. At least I hope. I hope you can let that sink in.

Sincerely, me

What. I obviously panic, suicide? There would only be one place here that he could have gone, the bridge. I ran out of the house and to the bridge, hoping he wasn't gone, I can't lose him. The cold winter air was finally starting to get to me, I realized I hadn't brought a jacket. I get to the bridge and see no one. He already jumped...
