Runaway Actor

Chapter 3

"Virgil, we need to get--" Logan sighed. "We need to obtain help from some persona that's.. closer, to Roman on a.. say, generic level." Virgil snorted in objection, "are you really referring to Remus?" Logan adjusted his tie. "Let me inform you, if we don't get to shelter, possibly Remus' house, we would get hypothermia. Only if we stay in this rain of course." Patton nodded in agreement, for he was shivering viciously. Even with his cardigan on {it was soaked}, he was freezing. "Patton, you don't even like Remus!" Virgil hissed. "Yeah, but maybe he'll be able to help..." His voice trailed off. "Do you really think that he knows Roman better than we do?!" Virgil screamed, throwing his arms up. "The hell with Remus! You guys can go but I'm continuing." "Virgil, you are being very shrewd and are behaving like an imbecile." Logan observed. "I- I- Im-" Patton tried to say, confused by the odd word.  "And what does 'shrewd' mean?" He sounded exasperated, but said shrewd in a mocking tone. "It means having or showing sharp powers of judgment." The intellectual side continued, "I meant that you are very shrewd towards Remus." Virgil grumbled. "Yeah whatever." The darker persona followed the two. "How do you have a good sense in direction?" Patton asked. "Well-" Logan started. "I don't get how your nose does it!" The male sighed, "I got it, unfortunately."

Roman had started walking again, his bright white outfit surprisingly visible in the dark. It was more than likely past midnight, and his brain kept flooding with ideas that vanished almost immediately. It looks like I'm going to be walking for a while.. He thought to himself, though it wouldn't make any difference to anyone else. Roman shrugged, combing his fingers through his hair. The rain had faded by now, but there was still a light sprinkle. He noticed the three in the near distance, yet they felt so far away. He quickly hid behind the wall of a building, listening in on their conversation... "Come on Patton! The rain is gone, we have to continue looking,,," Virgil growled. "And we don't need Remus." Remus? He questioned silently. "Virgil!" Logan screamed. "We are not going to detect where he is in just hours." They're looking for me.. He observed. Patton still shivered, having troubles keeping his hands on his arms. "Patton is freezing for goodness sake!" Logan pointed out. "Fine, go, go get Remus if it'll re- really make finding Roman easier!" Virgil's teeth had started chattering. "You're cold t- too." Patton mumbled, a little scared about how Virgil would retaliate. "I'M FINE!" He yelled, pulling his hood farther over his face as they stalked towards Roman's and Remus' house.

Roman sighed. They were going through all of this trouble, and for what? Just for him to make them feel bad? To make himself neglect exposing how he felt? It's just a waste. He slid down the wall, hiding his face in his hands. It was hard to tell whether he was angry or upset, but from the look of it, he was sad. He.. He was a waste?  Them going through so much trouble, nothing but trouble. Heck, they're even risking hypothermia! And they're talking to REMUS! REMUS! His twin, the one probably on the couch making out with Janus because he's not even aware of Roman's existence (You already know I'm adding those two, I'm running out of ideas). This was getting him no where, he may as well let his feelings out for the moment. Tears slid down his red cheeks as he balled up more, his face hid deeply in his knees. Roman full on started sobbing, his shaky hands having troubles wiping away his tears. He couldn't help but feel bad over leaving, but it would be worth it... hopefully..
