Roman POV
Emilie and I walked to school and we just talked about Steven Universe the whole way there. I'm getting colder and colder as we walk. We get to the school.
"I have to go talk to the main office. I'll see you in History." He says and I wave goodbye. I walk upstairs to my locker. I look like a wreck. My hoods up, my hairs a mess, I didn't have time to put makeup on, and I'm wearing black. It is never a good sign if I'm wearing black.
I open my locker and put my backpack in. I take out the pepto chug it and then chug the coffee.
"Wow bad night?" I hear a sarcastic remark say. I look over and see Virgil with his own coffee in his hand, but it's like a mocha with whip cream and all that.
"You have no idea." I grumble while I shuffle through my locker.
"I didn't know you liked My Chemical Romance." He says with a smirk as he takes a sip of coffee.
"How'd you know that?" I asked confused. He giggles a bit. That was cute.
"It's written in big letters on the back of your hoodie." He says while laughing. I look over my shoulder and 'My Chemical Romance' written in white letters on the black hoodie.
"Oh dammit. That's why this is so big." I grumble to myself.
"I do like MCR but this is my older brothers hoodie. I must've grabbed it by accident." I say yawning at that last part.
"Well then you both have good taste in music." He says with a smirk. I slightly smile when he says that. I look at him and see his jaw drop when I look at him.
"What?" I ask confused.
"You have freckles!" He says happily. I feel my face heat up.
"Aww you blushing~" He teases and leans against the locker.
"S-shut up." I say blushing even more.
"What class do we have first?" I ask taking another swig of coffee. Trying to change the subject.
"English.." He says with a frown and a grown.
"Heh alright. You wanna sit in the back with me so I can sleep?" I ask with a slight smirk. I am so damn tired.
"Sure." The bell rings and we walk into class. Virgil and I head to the back and sit down. The bell rings again signaling the class to start. The bells are load they hurt my head.
Everything is starting to blur and the pain increases. My head hurts so bad. I put my head down on the desk resting it on my arms. Then everything drifts off to black.
Virgils POV
This class is so fucking boring. I look over and see Romans head down on his desk sleeping peacefully. I smirk and turn my attention back to the old man trying to teach his dumbass juniors what a noun is.
Time skip
The bell finally fuckin rings. I put all my stuff in my bag and start to get up, but I realize Roman is still asleep. I get up and shake his shoulder a little bit. Nothing. I shake him harder and still nothing. I pick his head up by his hair and I notice he's sweating a lot and his face is flushed. He passed out. I walk over to the other side of the desk and pick him up. That was wayyyy too easy to do. Why is he so light? I walk out of the classroom and down the stairs. The bell rang so everyone's in class thankfully. I would get some weird ass looks by people when they see someone who's 5'8 caring a guy that's 6 foot. I make it to the nurses office. I open the door and walk inside.
"Hello?! I need help!" I say laying him down on one of the cots. The nurse walks out.
"What's the matter?" She says and I point to Roman.
"He fell as-"
"AHHHH!!" Roman yells grabbing his side. I ran over to his side and kneel down next to him.
"Roman what hurts?" I ask as I hold his hand. He try's to say something but is cut off by screams of pain.
"Can you call an ambulance?" I ask and the nurse nods and runs off to the phone. I look around and grab the thermometer that's on the counter.
"Roman? Open your mouth." I say holding the thermometer. He stops his screams so now there only whimpers. I stick the thermometer in his mouth and under his tongue. He shuts his mouth, whimpers, and pulls out his phone. He dials his phone.
"Hey Lola can you bring Rosie to the h-hospital please. I'll be there in a minute." He says trying not to sound in pain.
"No no everything NGH! Everything's fine. Just bring her there please. Thank you." He says and hangs up the phone. He grabs the thermometer and pulls it out of his mouth. He reaches over and grabs the trash can and throws up. He sits up and throws up more. I help by holding the bucket and rubbing his back. He's boney and very skinny. He stops throwing up and coughs more. I take the bucket and put it back on the floor. I take the thermometer and put it back in his mouth. He takes out his phone again. He dials another number and the phone rings.
"Hey, I'm going to the hospital and I need you to meet m-me there. M-mama and papa are both out of t-town. Lola and Rosie are heading there now......ok......ok......thank you. Bye. Love you too." He says while trying to stifle his whimpers.
"Who was that?" I ask and the thermometer beeps.
"M-my brother Reggie." He says with a whimper. I pull out the thermometer and look at it.
"Okay Ro your fever is very high. Is the ambulance almost here?" I say to Roman and ask the nurse.
"There pulling up now." She says and I nod.
"Ro, can you stand?" I ask holding his hands. He nods and he stands up. Tears are coming down his face now. I grab his hand and throw it over my shoulder to help steady him. He whimpers a bit again. We walk down the hallway and outside where there's an ambulance waiting. I pick him up and he squeaks. I place him gently on the gurney and the paramedics wheel him into the ambulance. I hop into the ambulance and hold his hand.
"He tachycardic. Push 2 of rythmol." One of the paramedics say.
"W-what does that mean?" Roman asks. He's obviously scared.
"It means your heart is beating too fast so there putting medicine in you to make it go down." I say giving his hand a reassuring squeeze. He looks at me and nods. His eyes start to roll and he goes pale. He passed out.
"He passed out. His fever is really high." I say holding his hand tighter.
"Ok thanks kid. What's his name?" The paramedics ask me.
"Roman Kingsley. He's 17 years old. His parents are out of town right now, but his older brother is on his way to the hospital."
I say as the paramedics put an IV in him.
"Ok thank you kid. I got the IV in him. Let's move!" The paramedic yells to other. The car starts to move and I can hear the sirens.
A few minutes later were at the hospital.
They pull him out of the ambulance and I walk in with him.
"Knight Virgil!!" I hear and I look over to the waiting room. I see Princess Rosie being held by an older women in her early 40s I presume.
"Hey Princess!" I say walking over to them. I look at the older women and smile.
"You must be Lola." I say holding out my hand and she smiles and shakes it.
"Yes that's me. I'm their babysitter. I've babysat all of the boys since I was 15." She says with a smile.
"Is Roman okay? He sounded in pain over the phone." She asks concerned putting Rosie down.
"I think it's his appendix. It's pain on his right side and his fever is extremely high." I say to her. Rosie clings to my leg. I look down and she looks at me smiling.
"You wanna go see your brother?" I ask her and her face lights up with joy.
"YES YES YES!!" Rosie yells while jumping up and down.
"Alright I'm gonna go. Tell Roman to call me after he's better." Lola says placing down Rosies bag.
"Thank you so much and I will." I say picking up Rosie and her bag. She walks off with a wave. I walk up to the nurses counter.
"Hello. We came to see Roman Kingsley." I say and she nods. She types on her computer and turns back to me.
"2nd floor room 106." She says with a smile.
"Thank you ma'am" I say and walk towards the elevator.
"NO! NO ELEVATOR!" Rosie screams and squirms in my arms.
"Umm okay okay. Let's...uhh....take the stairs." I say walking towards the stairs. I walk up all 2 flights no matter how hard it was. I carried an 4 year old child and heavy bag of toys up 2 flights of stairs. Fuck.
I walk down the hall and look for room 106.
"96....99...102...106." I mumble and walk into the room. I open the door and see Roman laying on the bed hooked up to many machines still passed out. I set Rosie and her bag down.
"Can I touch him?" Rosie whispers to me nervously.
"Yes just don't touch his belly." I say and she gets on the bed next to Ro. She puts her hand on his face. She leans in and places a small kiss on his nose.
"Wake up Ro Ro, please." She says quietly and with that Romans eyes flutter open.
"Heh...hi Princess." He says with a smile and putting his hand to Rosies hair.
"Good job Rose. You woke Prince Charming up." A voice says behind me. I turn around and see a tall man that's about 6'4 leaning on the doorframe.
"Hello. I'm Reggie." He says shaking my hand firmly.
"H-hi I'm Virgil." I say nervously. I turn back to Roman.
"Hi Ro Ro! How's your tummy?" She says with a smile. He smiles back, but his hands start to shake. His eyes roll back and his head starts to jerk.
"RO RO!!" Rosie screams and cry's. I run over and grab her and hand her to Reggie. I run back to Ro and put him on his side.
"Call for a doctor or a nurse please?!" I yell at Reggie and he looks surprised. I sticks his head out to the hall. 2 doctors come running in and came over to me and took my spot.
"Push 2 of Lorazepam!" One screams at the other. She takes out a needle and puts it in Ro's IV line. He stops seizing and is passed out again.
"Okay give him acetaminophen and write in his chart that he's malnourished." The doctor says and walking back over to us.
"Ok out in the hall." I say pushing Reggie and Rosie out of the room. We get out to the hallway and Reggie looks terrified while holding a sobbing Rosie.
"He's okay. His temperature got too high and when that happens the body goes into shock. With his body it's seizures. He will be okay." I say to them. Reggie nods while Rosie continues to cry.
"C-can you take her? I wanna sit with him until he wakes up. I trust you." He asks handing me Rosie.
"Of course. I'm gonna go upstairs to see a friend is that okay?" I ask and he nods and walks back into the room.
"Hey! Hey Princess Rosie! You wanna go meet my friend Logan. He's a wizard?" I say and her head perks up.
"A-A *sniff* wizard?" She says with a sniff.
"Yeah a wizard! Let's go!" I say smiling as I walk towards the door. Great more stairs.
I make it up the stairs and I'm out of breath. Rosie stopped crying. I walk down the hall to the last door. I knock and hear a faint come in. I open the door and walk inside. Logan is sitting up in bed reading a book. He looks better than he did before.
"Salutations Virgil and tiny child." Logan says to me with a smile.
"Hey Lo how you feeling?" I ask setting Rosie on the ground.
"Pretty good. My hand hurts more than anything, but I'm ok." Logan says while closing his book.
"Anyway who is the small child?" Logan asks looking at Rosie.
"Well this is Princess Rosie. Romans little sister. Can you say hi to the amazing wizard Logan?" I say picking up Rosie and bringing her over to the bed.
"Hello Mr. Wizard. Knight Virgil can you put me down next to Mr. Wizard?" She asks with a smile. I look at Logan for confirmation and he slightly nods with a smile. I set her down on the bed next to him.
"Why do you have Romans sister if I may ask?" Logan says adjusting his glasses.
"Roman has appendicitis. He passed out in English and wake up screaming in pain." I explain what happened to Roman while Logan listens carefully. Rosie looks scared again.
"He's gonna be fine Princess." Logan says to Rosie with a smile. She smiles back.
"Do you wanna watch TV? I think they have Disney on here?" Logan asks Rosie. She smiles brightly and nods her head. Logan takes his remote and turns it to Sophia the first.
"YAY! Thank you Mr. Wizard!" She says with a smile. She turns towards the TV and her eyes are practically glued to it.
"I didn't know Roman had siblings?" Logan says to me.
"He's got a bunch. Theres her, shes 4. He has a twin brother and an older brother who's about 24."
"Have you met his twin? I haven't." Logan says confused.
"He's in boarding school in Georgia apparently. I don't know why though?"
"He got sent there cause he was bad and didn't take his medicine. I miss him." Rosie says not looking away from the TV. Logan and  I's mouth hang open.
"What's your brothers names?" Logan asks.
"Reggie, Remus, and Roman. There the best people in the world." Rosie says with a smile and then turning her head back to the TV.
"All names their names start with R?" Logan whispers to me.
"Alright we should go check on Roman. I'll be back later Lo. Come on Rosie." I say walking over to the door.
"Okie Knight Virgil. Bye Wizard Logan!" She says waving bye to Logan and then takes my hand.

Let's go see your brother..
