Sanders Sides School For The Troubled Youth

Oh y'all wanted a twist ey? Come on backstory let's get sickening!!

Song: Cancer by My chemical romance

Tw:Eating disorder, talk of death, bad parenting, weight mention, Roman is a stupid bitch who doesn't want help but he's totally wrong

It almost surprised Roman that he woke up from the fainting. When he did it was dark outside. He must have slipped into a slumber. His body was stale from lying on the floor. There was an unese in the air or maybe it was just the smell of rotten food. 

It irritated him how the old floorboards creaked as he walked out into the hallway. It was nearing 2 am and the moon was out as he came into the living room downstairs. The light coming through the windows was the only thing lighting it up. The outside was so enticing. How long had it been since he had been outside. Time had been fleeting lately. He pressed his fingertips against the glass. Why did people keep locking him up he wondered. First the hospital, then the school and now his own family. It made him smile to think that if he got sent to the hospital again the bracelet around his wrist would hang even looser.

The sound of a door slamming shot rang through the room and Roman's forced out of his thoughts which made him back away from the window. He looked around but nothing looked like it had moved. The entrance door was still locked. Just to make sure he tried to open it. There was a sudden warmth on his shoulder he could swear on it. The low light draped a ghostly feeling over the room.

Roman took a few unsure steps into the light wondering if he was imagining things or not. The warmth on his shoulders came back. When he looked down there were hands there. The fingernails were blue. He held back a scream telling himself that he was just imagining things and if he woke anyone up they would get mad.

"Why didn't you stop him Roman?" He whimpered when it spoke. He reluctantly turned around and looked at his brother.

There was blood coming from his nose and his pupils were rolled back only leaving the white of his eyes. Remus head twitched making his neck contort and crack. There was a red mark on his cheek. his dark skin looked ashen and his breathing was erratic.

"Why didn't you stop him?" He repeated with a voice dripping of sadness. Roman tried to back away but his blue nails dug down into his skin. "I wouldn't have killed myself if you had helped me"

"You...you're not real" Roman meekly answered.

"Why didn't you stop father?" He continued.

Roman forced the hands off of him and was going to back away but his legs buckled under him and he fell down. "I'm sorry" He cried closing his eyes so he wouldn't have to look at 'Remus' anymore. What if it was his ghost. No. That would mean he was de...Which he wasn't. People told Roman he was but they were wrong. They. had. To. Be! He was still out there, he would come back soon. Ro couldn't give up on him.

"I'm sorry the house doesn't feel safe enough for you to come home but please do anyway. I hate it here without you"

Remus gave him a pitiful glance at him before saying "Don't be sorry bro-ro, you don't have a lot of time lef-

Roman woke up in a cold sweat with his heart racing. He grabbed around the room to make sure he wasn't dreaming anymore. Welp guess he wasn't coping with that as well as he thought.

The words Remus had said felt so real so real that Roman had to fight back memories keeping his hands over his ears as if that would help that resurfaced from the things he'd said. The memories turned into flashbacks and he started to quietly beg his brain not to make him go through it again.

Still the events of 7th October flooded back to him.

The ordinary school they had gone to had called. When their father heard that Remus had barely been in school for a long time and when he had been he'd gotten into fights with other students he in a moment of seeing red slapped the then 15 year old. He immediately apologized and he meant it. It was the only time he was violent but it was enough for Remus to snap.
