Chapter Four

"Roman? It's Deceit can I come in?"

"Yeah…"

I heard the door open and close along with footsteps. I looked up in the mirror at Deceit. He gave me a small smile.

"Look Ro, I'm not going to dance around the issue here. It's all our fault that, that happened, we shouldn't have been fighting with her in the room or in the first place. We should have been paying better attention to stop that from happening but we didn't and for that I'm sorry. I know Remus is too. He just wanted to give you some room."

"Thank you Dee but it's not you two I want an apology from…"

"You're talking about more than what just happened aren't you?"

"Yes and no. Sure it would be nice but I doubt they've realized their mistakes."

He stood next to me placing a hand on my shoulder, "I am sorry Roman, I should have been paying more attention…"

"It's alright Deceit, I forgive you."

He smiled before walking out and stopping in the doorframe.

"Good luck today princey."

He left and I turned back to the mirror applying the foundation. I screwed the top back on setting back in the drawer and leaving the bathroom. I rose up in my normal spot in front of the t.v.

"With so much f used thrown about I doubt there's much he'd like to effuse about."

"Pfft Janus! What are you a middle school librarian? That's a stupid name, it's a stupid name."

'Stop! Roman what are you saying?! It's like I can't control what I'm saying…'

"Thank gosh you don't have a mustache Roman! Otherwise between you and Remus I wouldn't know who the evil twin is."

My eyes went wide as I looked at Thomas and Patton.

'It's like looking into a funhouse mirror...it shows everything you never want to be…'

"Thomas...I thought I was your hero?" My voice cracked at the end.

"Y-you are…"

I looked at Janus who nodded.

"Wow!" I bit back tears, "Did you forget that he's evil!?"

'Shut up Roman! He��s not evil, stop talking!'

"You're not or you're not supposed to be! You can't-"

"Roman!"

I snapped my head up at Patton wondering what he'd have to say.

"Everthings going to be ok kiddo. We love you."

"Right…"

I left letting the tears fall when I was back in my room.

"I'm sorry Janus, so sorry...I don't know why I said that…"

I reached for my phone and called Remy.

"Rem…"

"Hi love…" His voice broke at the end.

"Remy what's wrong? What happened?"

"Ro...Crystal she...they don't...she may not make it."

"W-what!?!"

"Ro I'm so sorry love...how was the video?"

"Are they letting you stay the night?"

"Yeah why? Do you need me?"

"That would be nice but you need to stay there with Crystal."

"Roman hun how was the video?"

"...Am I evil…" I asked my voice thick with tears.

"What?! No of course not! What happened?"

"I don't want to talk about it…"

"Roman, are you crying?"

"N-no!" I wiped my eyes, "Why would you think that?"

"You're a terrible liar love."

I sighed, "I'll come over in the morning with some Starbucks."

"Alright, hey Ro."

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

"I love you too Rem."

"Bye sugar."

"Bye…"
