Virgils POV
We head down stairs and Roman puts me down so his parents wont see.

"Sorry, we were playing Mario Cart and we didn't want to stop the game." Roman says

"Its fine Rox-man." Ronans dad says. Wait what's going on here? We sit down and Roman's mom gives us all 2 slices of pizza each. "Um, thanks." I say. Roman's mom looks at me weird.

"He talks?" Wendy says.

"Don't be rude." Roman says

"Stop, Virgil you don't have to thank me, doesnt your mom make you dinner every night?" Roman's mom asks

"Um, No." I say looking at my food without touching it. I could feel everyone wanting to know more. "My mother died when I was in 8th grade, and my Dad is an alcoholic and a druggie and I have to make the food, and most of the time I dont-" I stop there before I say to much.

"Oh I'm sorry for-"

"Its fine, and yes I do speak. But not to many people." I say looking at Wendy. She looks a bit thrown off by my statement.

"Virgil, would you like to stay the night?" Roman's mom asks.

"Yeah sure." I see Roman's dad role his eyes. "If you dont me to Mr. Heath I dont have to."

"I just don't think my kid should be friends with someone like you." He snaps

"Fence!" Roman's mom yells.

"No, dad explain why cant be friends with Virgil." Roman snaps.

"Virgil is a kind man." Wendy says.

"Roman! I'm not your dad, I'm your father! And he is probably a druggie like his daddy and he looks like shit, and see didnt even talk when he came in the door and my Daughter should been friends with someone like that!" Mr. Heath says.

"I will be on my way." I say as I get up.

"No, Fence you dont treat your SON or your SON'S friend like that, leave my house. Virgil sit down." I look at Roman's mother while she says this. Why is she standing up for me? I sit down. Roman's father leaves.

"I'm sorry he us drunk." Wendy says.

"Its fine." Roman's mother says. "You two boys can go upstairs now." Romans mom says.

Roman stands up and head upstairs, I follow. "Roman?" I say when we enter his room.

"My dad, he cheats on my mother. And he doesn't expect me for being me." Roman says. Then I see he is having a hard time breathing.

"Roman are you okay?" I say.

"No it hurts." He says.

"Roman what hurts?"

"What do you think?" He snaps

"Idk, your head ir heart?"

"No, virgil my chest." He says.

"I'm confused? Why?"

He lifts up his shirt then I realize it. It all makes sense. Almost calling Roman another name, his daughter. Roman has a feminine body and was binding with a binder. He starts to cry.

"Roman, I still love you. You are still amazing and beautiful." I say hugging him. "But you need to talk it off if it hurts."

"Thanks love. I will be in the bathroom." Roman says.
