Roman's P.O.V
Life was calm. Me, Logan, Patton, Thomas, and Virgil all live together in a decent sized house. We're all the best of friends. But recently, Virgils been acting odd. He's more quiet, his eyes were always bloodshot and the bags under his eyes were a lot worse. It was 9 o'clock at night and I was sitting on the couch watching tv. I heard someone shuffling around and saw Virgil walking towards the door. His eyes were red and glossy.
"Vee? What's wrong where are you going?"
"U-umm j-just g-going to u-umm meet a f-friend.." I heard him choke back a quiet sob. I knew he wasn't going where he said he was. I played it off though, I'll follow him in my car.
"Okay. Don't stay out to late please okay? Patton will be finishing dinner soon." Another quiet sob.
"Okay..." I let him leave the house. Once the sound of his car was faint, almost silent, I got in my car and followed him, managing to catch up quickly. He eventually stopped at... a bridge. Fuck, no this cannot be happening oh my god no. I watched as he stopped his car and got out, his frame shaking terribly. I started crying. He walked near the edge and I instantly jumped out of my car, not even trying to be quiet. He didn't even look over at me, he just climbed right onto the edge.
"WAIT VEE!" He flinched and looked over at me.
"Let me fucking do this Roman." He spoke with determination, but also fear. It broke my heart and I started crying even more. The love of my life was on the edge of death, and The wrong words could kill him.
"Virgil no. Please do not do this Vee."
"Give me one good god damn reason. I'm fucking worthless, the cuts on my arms show it Roman. No one gives a shit about my life.
"That's not true! Please just step off the ledge! You are wonderful, meaningful, you are not pointless or worthless. You are so amazing and beautiful and no one should be able to make you think differently." He sobbed loudly.
"Y-y-you're l-lying! N-n-n-no o-one c-cares! Yo-you're j-just s-saying that..."
My heart completely shattered this time. He truly  believe he was worthless.
"Angel, sugar I promise i am not lying or just saying it. I truly mean everything I am saying. I truly care about you, so do Logan and Patton and Thomas! Think about them, think about how this will affect all of us... I know it's hard to see right now but it will get better honestly it will. I will be there by your side and help you through this." I was slowly walking towards him, trying not to scare him.
"W-why?"
"Why what darling?" I tried to sound calm even though I was sobbing just as hard as him, if not harder. I was almost by his side now.
"Why d-do y-you all c-care!" Now I was fully at his side, I slowly reached up and held his hand.
"Because... I love you Vee. I love you so god damn much and I have my entire life. You are like a son to Patton, You are one of the few people Logan appreciates and truly cares about, you manage to always keep Thomas and all of us safe, always making sure we're doing everything correctly. Please come off the ledge." He started at me, not saying anything. I slowly pulled him towards me, hoping he'd come off the ledge and onto safety. He did. He climbed off carefully, still looking into my eyes. I sobbed even harder. I did it, he's fine, he's alive, he's okay. I hugged him as tight as I possibly could, sobbing into his shoulder as he sobbed into mine.
"R-r-Ro I am s-s-so sorry... p-please d-don't tell the others...."
"I-I won't d-do an-anything y-you're not c-comfortable with... oh my fucking god thank god you are safe, you're alive and here with me right now, you're not in danger and my god it's amazing... j was so worried you were going to do something... god damn I couldn't have lived with myself if anything happened... I love you so god damn much honestly I do."
"T-thank you Ro... I L-o-love you too... ca-can we go home...? I c-can't bare t-to be here..."
"What about our cars? There's two of them..."
"Let's park one here for the night? We can have Thomas or Patton get it tomorrow..?"
"Alright love... let's go..."
