Virgil's PoV
At breakfast Roman was smiling brightly obviously excited, and I couldn't help but smile at his positive attitude. It was contagious you could say.

I look up and open my mouth to speak, "what time is the audition?" I ask quietly interrupting Patton and Romans conversation, "oh, it's at 11am." Roman smiles. "So in a hour?!" I ask pointing at the clock, feeling worried again. "Yes, no need to worry, Thomas has been up since 7, he is having breakfast then he's going to leave. He has plenty of time." He reassures me, I sigh in relief.

I excuse myself from the table and head to my room.

~time skip~

It was about a hour later and I was laying on my bed scrolling through Tumblr when I hear a knock on my door.

I get up and answer it, "hi, Ro" I smile and give him a small wave. "Hey, do you want to watch the audition with us?" He asks, "yeah sure, I don't have anything better to do," I smile and nod walking out with him, grabbing his hand.

We walk down the corridor and into the screening room, where we can see what Thomas sees. We walk in and I see Patton and Logan in there already. I look up at Roman again, he had a worried expression looking at the screen. I gulp feeling my anxiety spike, what if he forgets his lines, what if he chokes, what if he trips on his way out?

Everyone was to busy watching, as Thomas walked onto the stage, to notice me.

Patton's PoV
We were all watching nervously as Thomas introduced himself. When he opened his mouth to start he froze, his eyes not leaving the judges. His breathing picked up and eyes watering. I look at Logan who seemed confused, then at Roman who looked between angry and scared. When I look at Virgil, his breathing was erratic, tears streaming down his face and his hands were grasping onto his hair.

I look back at the screen and see Thomas was on the floor in the same state Virgil was in. I rush over to Virgil, "Hey, kiddo, are you alright?" I ask, he doesn't answer "Virgil, can I touch you?" I ask, he nods. I slowly rap my arms above Virgil's shoulders, he was shaking so much. "Sshh, it's alright." I whisper into his ear. I sink the both of us to the ground and pull Virgil into my lap.

I look back up at the screen and see Thomas was surrounded by people trying to calm him down, it was a terrible decision to bring Virgil here, he has terrible stage fright.

After another five minutes, I feel Virgil slump against my shoulder. I slowly stand up, picking Virgil up on the way. "Hey, Kiddo, you alright?" I ask Roman approaching him, he looked furious. "This was all his fault." Roman Said sternly, "it was no ones fault kiddo, it was just an accident," I say looking at Logan for help, who was glaring at Virgil.

I walk out of the screening room, towards Virgil's. I open his door and lay him on his bed, I turn to leave but hear Virgil mutter under his breath, "I ruin everything." His voice sounded groggy and tired, so I don't bother to turn around so he can sleep.

Romans PoV
I walk into my room, slamming the door behind me. I turn and see, Remus laying upside down on my bed. "How'd the audition go, Ro-Ro?" He asks with a playful smile on his face, "you know fully well how it went." I say with warning in my voice, "I can't believe him, I've done nothing but love him for months and shower him with kisses. And this is how he repays me, ruining my only chance to do some real acting." Remus turned around onto his stomach, his smile never dropping. "You should stab him, to get back at him." I smirk at my brother "yeah no."
