Virgil POV
"Okay, what does that mean?" Reggie asks standing up.
"It means Romans metabolism is really fast. So, Roman won't be able to get high or loopy because his metabolism is so fast, that it's broken down the drugs into energy already." The doctor explains to us.
"Will that complicate the surgery?" Mr. Kingsley asks with a heavy voice of concern.
"Yes, your son is severely underweight, so if we go over the amount we need to give him to stay under, we can accidentally overdose him. We need to give him the correct amount to stay under or otherwise he will wake up in the table." The doctor explains to Mr. Kingsley.
"Wait wait wait, he's underweight? Is that from the metabolism? Why is he underweight?" Mr. Kingsley exclaims with a healthy level of worry.
"Roman is currently 17 years old. A healthy 17 year old male should way at least 142 pounds. Roman is currently 117 pounds." The  doctor explains to us.
"Wait I'm underweight?" Roman says in a scratchy voice.
"Yes, 25 pounds underweight to be exact. Have you been eating, Roman?" The doctors ask Roman. I look at Roman and he looks petrified.
"Y-yeah of course I have!" He says with an obviously fake smile.
"Rosie? When was the last time Roman ate breakfast?" Reggie asks looking at Rosie who is watching cartoons.
"Ummm when Papa was home and he made French toast. That was good French toast!" Rosie says not tearing her eyes away from the TV.
"Roman, hijo, that was two weeks ago. I made a celebratory breakfast from when we moved into the new house. Hijo that's not healthy." Mr. Kingsley looks at Roman. Roman looks pale and he's got tears in his eyes.
"Can I get prepped for surgery already please?" He mumbles and the doctor nods.
"The nurse is going to prep you. I'll see you in surgery Roman." The doctor smiles and waves then walks off.
A younger woman walked in and put a shower cap on Roman and checked his vitals. Then they wheeled in another bed for Roman. They picked up Roman and put him on the second bed.
"Good Luck Roman we love you." Reggie says and Rosie blows him a kiss. I wave bye as he was rolled out of sight.
Roman POV
"Alright Roman, we are taking you to the OR now. After we are finished, you will feel a lot better." The Doctor explains to me as she wheels my bed into a cold room. They move me to a metal table and set up all of my IV and wires and shit.
"Ok Roman I need you to count back from 10 from me." The doctor says putting a mask on my face.
"10...9....8....7......5..........."

Logan POV
I walk into the elevator and hit the lobby floor. After a minute the elevator dings and I walk off. Once I walk off I'm immediately figuratively tackled into a hug. I look down and it's Patton. I hug him back tightly.
"Hello darling."
"Hi! How are you feeling? Is your head ok? How's your arm? Do you have all your things?" Patton exclaims continuing to ask questions.
"I am fine darling. Let's go." I say holding his hand. He takes my hand and gives it a little squeeze. We walk out to the waiting room and see a man who looks very tired dressed in flannel and work boots.
"Hello Mr. Baker." I say as Patton and I walk over to him. His head perks up at he looks at the both of us.
"Hello son, how's your head?" The older gentleman says to me with a smile.
"It's good. Thank you." I say looking away.
"Alright I'll go pull the car around. I be back in two shakes of a lambs tail." He says getting up and walking to the car. Patton and I sit down in the chairs. I look down at my hand. It's got a dark blue cast on it and bandages all over my hand. My hand is burnt to a crisp. It's hard to move it. I have to go to physical therapy after my broken arm heals.
The memory. That god awful memory replaying in my mind over and over again. My mother breaking my arm and then slamming my hand on the stove burner, finally when she pushed my head into the wall breaking the glass in my glasses and driving them into my head.
"USELESS"
"MISTAKE"
"WORTHLESS"
"GOOD FOR NOTHING"
My mother's words ring around my head.
I feel a something grab my bad hand and I flinch.
"Logie? Are you okay?" Patton asks quietly.
I look at him. My face is wet. I wipe my face and tears fall off.
"Baby come here." Patton says holding open his arms. He hugs me tightly and hug him back and lay my head on his shoulder. He starts to rub my back slowly.
"Thank you. I'm sorry." I say and hug him tighter.
"You have nothing to be sorry for darling. I love you." He says kissing my cheek.
"Thank you baby."

Virgil POV
Romans surgery was successful but he was still passed out when I left. He's supposed to go home today. I was gonna go visit him after school. It was quiet at school without him here. I walked through the hall after 4th period going to my locker when my hoodie was grabbed from behind and I was thrown into the locker. I look up and see Derek towering over me with his hand grabbing my shirt.
"Hello faggot. Where's your boyfriend, Prince Charming?" Derek said with a smirk. I can hear the hallway go silent.
"He's not my boyfriend! Let me go!" I yell and rip his hand away from my shirt and start to walk away. I'm grabbed from behind and turned around. I'm turned and met with Dereks fist. I'm knocked to the floor with intense pain in my eye. I hear the laughter around me. I kick him in the shin and he falls to the floor. I get up and start to run but I'm grabbed from behind and thrown into the lockers again. One of Dereks assholes grab my neck and hoist me up. It's hard to breathe.
"You think you can get away with that Freak!?" Derek yells as he gets up off the floor. My eye is starting to swell and everything is starting to go black. I hear yelling and I'm dropped to the floor. I hear muffled voices but there distorted.
"Virgil!" I finally hear someone yell. My vision finally goes back to normal and I see Dante kneeling in front of me.
I try and say something but it hurts to much.
"Virgil can you hear me?" Dante asks and I nod slightly.
"Alright cmon we're going to the nurse." Dante says pulling me up.
"N-no I'm fine. Let me go." I say letting go of Dante.
"Fine then we're going to the bathroom." He says walking me to the bathroom. We get in and he walks me over to the sink. Dante hands me a paper towel with cold water on it. I hold it on my eye and whimper a bit.
"Alright just hold it there for a minute. Do you have your concealer?" Dante asks and I nod and I grab it out of my backpack. I take the towel off and put the concealer around the red and already bruising parts of my eye. It's covered but not well. It's gonna have to do. I brush my hair to the other side of my face to cover my eyes.
"Good?" Dante asks picking up my stuff.
"Yeah let's go." I say grabbing my bag from him. I'm very great full to have him. Without him I don't know how I would've ended up.
Time skip
It's the last class of the day and I want to get tf out of here. It's hot and people keep looking at my shiner.
"RIIINNNG!!" The bell FINALLY goes off! I get up and almost run out of the school. I'm gonna go see Ro and bring him his homework. He came to see me everyday when I was home. It's only fair. I walk down the road and take a right at the cafe instead of the usual left to go to my house. I walk down the road and see a bunch of huge houses. Like huge! Like almost mansions. I stop at Ro's house and walk up the driveway. I get to the door and hesitantly knock on it. I hear footsteps from inside and see a very tired Reggie open the door.
"Virgil! It's so nice to see you! How are you? Did you come to check on Roman? He's upstairs in the brown door at the end of the hallway. Do-" Reggie frantically asks me out of breath.
"Reggie!" I yell and finally get his attention.
"Hi. Take a breath. Are YOU alright? You look exhausted." I say to him and he gives me a small smile.
"I'm fine. Just tired with Rosie and Roman. Romans fine, it's just Rosie. She has so much energy and she likes to run. She's at daycare right now. Dads gonna pick her up on his way home." Reggie says opening the door the let me in.
"Well since she's not here, why don't you take a nap or do something to relax." I say to him and he smiles again.
"Yeah I should thanks. Can you bring that peanut butter ice cream up to Roman. I've been having a hard time getting him to eat." Reggie says plopping down on the couch.
"Of course. Thanks Reggie." Virgil says walking up the stairs and going to the brown door. Until he hears voices from the other side of the door.
No POV
"U PIECE OF UNIPREASIATIVE LITTLE SHIT!! U BETTER PICK UP THE DAMN PHONE OR SO HELP ME-" "and delete." Roman says hitting the trash on the voicemail. What Roman didn't know was that Virgil was listening through the door. Virgil knocked quietly on the door and heard a faint come in. Virgil opened the door and saw a very tired Roman sitting on his bed in a sweatshirt and shorts.
"Hey Ro who-"
"How'd you get the black eye?" Roman says cutting Virgil off. Virgil looks at Roman with a confused look.
"How did-"
"You do a shit job at concealer dude." Roman says with a smirk while putting his phone on the bed.
"Shut up. Your brother wanted me to bring you up ice cream. So, here." Virgil says with a smile while sitting next to Roman on the bed. Virgil gives Roman the ice cream.
"Thanks..I'll eat it in a minute. Let me help you with that black eye." Roman says leaning over the side of the bed and grabbing a basket full of makeup.
"Cmere Emo." Roman says with a chuckle. Virgil scotches closer to Roman and he starts to put more makeup on his eye.
"How'd you learn to do this stuff?" Virgil asks with a curious tone. Roman puts on a sad smile.
"Just practice...I guess." Roman says with a sigh.
"How'd you get it?" Roman asks trying to change the subject.
"Derek." Virgil says bluntly with a death glare.
" Ew. I hate him. Done. Good as new." Roman says with a sad smile.
"Wow. Thanks Ro." Virgil says with a smirk. The two sit in silence for a moment.
"Can I ask you a question? You don't have to answer if you don't want to." Virgil says timidly while messing with his fingers.
"Go ahead dude." Roman says with a smile.
"Who was that man on voicemail yelling at you?" Virgil says and Roman goes silent for a moment. Roman fiddles with the strings on his hoodie for a moment.
"My Ex. We didn't have the best relationship." Roman says continuing to fiddle with his strings.
"I'm sorry Ro. Umm here." Virgil says awkwardly handing Roman his ice cream.
"Heh..ummm...thanks." Roman says with a forced smile. He takes the ice cream and takes a small bite. Somethings wrong. Roman starts to sweat and starts itching and scratching his neck.
"Ro, you okay?" Virgil says looking at Roman with a worried look.
"W-what kind of Umm ice cream did he say this w-was?" Roman says as his eyes begin to water and he scratches his neck harder.
"Peanut Butter. Why?" Virgil says with a smile. Roman starts to cough harshly.
"Son of a bitch! Help me up!" Roman yells while grabbing his throat. Virgil pulls him up looking very confused. Roman stumbles to the door and down the hall.
"Ro-Roman! Where are you going?!" Virgil yelled running after him.
"REGINALD!!" Roman yelled walking down the stairs.
"Oh god what did I do? You only called me Reginald when your mad." Reggie says trying his hardest to make pasta but failing miserably.
"WRONG TWIN!!" Roman screams almost falling but Virgil grabs him and holds him up.
"Wrong what- OH SHIT!!" Reggie screams running out of the kitchen.
