Virgil's POV

it's been two years since I last updated my diary, and I've changed a lot! Me and Roman went out on our first date about a year ago before he left and had to move house. I've never cried so much in my life that my heart actually hurts when I try to think of it.

As I walk down the stairs of what used to be my house, I'm suddenly aware of someone tapping at the window, it's Patton. I carry my last box of belongings and lift it into Logan's BMW and say goodbye to my parents. I'm leaving for college.

My parents wave goodbye and I see my mum burst into tears and so half way down the road I jump out of the car, run back to her and give her another hug just to make her smile.

After reaching the college houses we, (me Logan and Patton) unpack my stuff and set it up in my room. Each dorm has 4 rooms and we have yet to fill the 4th. I had hoped roman would live in it but after he left? I gave up hope of ever seeing him again.

My room is basic. Black walls, purple curtains that give the room an edgy tint as the sun comes through them, my black wardrobe full of black (and purple) clothes, my double bed with black and purple bed sheets, a black and purple two-seater couch, and my iconic pet spider in a jar placed on my desk, under the window.

I take a sip of water when a small tap occurs on my door and I recognise Logan's knock and beckon him to come in. He wears a black button-up shirt with a blue tie and basic denim jeans. His hair is tinted a dark blue just like mine is purple, pattons is pink and Roman's was red... even thinking about him is difficult. We broke up a year ago when he moved because we realised that a long distance relationship would not work out for either of us and I've always regretted that decision.

I don't even realise that I've fallen to the ground until I hear a buzzing in my ears and I see Logan with his fingers on my wrist trying to find my pulse and Patton sprawled next to me in floods of tears and shaking uncontrollably.
I think I'm having a major anxiety attack or something different. But amidst all of this, I hear a familiar, strong voice call out my name and see a glimpse of blurred red and white before I pass out and my whole world goes black.
