Roman's POV

I walk into my new dorm room to meet my new college family when I stop and stare at the shoes I see on the floor. T-they look just like Virgil's black converse! Yes! They must be, and I pick them up to examine them more carefully, because she asked me to sign the bottom of them to let people know she was mine.

I blush at the kind memory, and take a look at the bottom of the shoe then drop it in disbelief- it is Virgil's! I run up the stairs calling her name and find a black door wide open and the sound of someone sobbing loudly in despair. I call out Virgil's name again only to find her sprawled out uncomfortably on the ground with Logan frantically trying to rouse her, and patton being the source of the loud sobbing.

I rush towards her and fall to my feet as I reach her, and whisper her name just as her eyes close. I glance at Logan, asking for a pulse and my heart turns to water as he shakes his head and I actually entertain the idea that she might be dead....but quickly dismiss it as she breathes in sharply and goes into what Logan calls "cardiac arrest" or, almost a heart attack!

In what feels like a split second, Logan calls an ambulance and asks me to help him carry Virgil outside. Of course I comply and actually end up being strong enough to carry her by myself. We arrive outside just as the ambulance pulls up outside and I place Virgil carefully on a stretcher, brushing her fringe away from her face and begging the paramedics to save her!

They ask if I would want to ride with her and I don't have to be asked twice. I tell patton and Logan that I will meet them at the hospital and clamber into the vehicle as it carefully but quickly pulls away.

I sit in the waiting room trying to think happy thoughts like Peter Pan always says, but it's not that easy. My poor princess is in intensive care right now, due to her coughing up blood during her procedure. Honestly if hearts could turn to water, I would drown any moment!

My heart, however, remains in tact and just in time too as the doctor comes out of the recovery room and smiles saying that she will be ok. I melt to the floor but Logan seems to catch me as I fall, (he's stronger than he looks), and I beg the doctor if I can go and see her. He nods his head slowly but says she will take a good few hours for the anaesthetic to wear off... and then frowns.

"We found traces of cyanide in her blood, care to explain how it got there?" He asks, and I stare with gritted teeth and boiling blood, and just as I take in a large breath, Logan steps forward and says "I'm sorry but we are not able to give that information, for the simple fact that we have no idea"
The doctor steps back and sighs, exhausted from a restless day.
"Ok" he says, "it's not a problem, but i will be involving the police if anything like this happens again with this child or another, understood?" We all nod in agreement and he gestures to her recovery room and I eagerly jog in to find her resting peacefully on the bed, with her black, purple streaked hair standing in complete contrast to the spotless white bed sheets.
I sit in a chair next to her and spend the next few hours stroking her hair back into place before her eyes flutter open and gaze around the room.
"R...roman..?" She says, weakly.
I rush towards her face and place my lips gingerly on hers and settle into a passionate, tender kiss with my one true love.
