My R but with a story line

A bad attempt at adding more of a story feel to my tailored version of the song. It's in Roman's P.O.V. Unedited.

TW: 

Just as I was about to take my shoes,

off of the rooftop there I see,

A boy with fair hair before me,

Patton Hart, a happy boy who'd I'd seen happy many times.

despite myself I go and scream;

"Hey, don't do it please!"

Woah, wait a minute what did I just say?

I couldn't care less either way,

I shouldn't have cared. That was how people saw me. The popular 'jock' who cared for nobody but himself. The words just slipped from my mouth.

to be honest I was somewhat pissed,

this was an opportunity missed.

Why was he here? The guy had so many good friends. I guess something happened that just tore this friendly guy's life apart..

The boy with the fair hair told me his woes,

"You've probably heard it all before,

I really thought that he might be the one,

but then he told me he was done.."

For God's sake please! Are you serious? I just can't believe that for some stupid reason, you got here before me!

Are you upset because you can't have what you wanted? You're lucky you've never been robbed of anything!

"I'm feeling better, thank you for listening!"

The boy with the fair hair then disappeared.

He climbed over the railing to hug me, then skipped away smiling.

Today's the day!

Or so I thought,

just as I took both of my shoes off,

there was a boy as smart as can be,

Logan Croft. He's the smartest boy in the grade. Honestly, him, Patton and somebody else (Virgil -w-) were the people I admired most. I know he wasn't very popular. I don't know much other than that.

despite myself I go and scream.

The smart boy told me his woes

"You've probably heard it all before,

everyone ignores me,

everybody steals,

I don't fit in with anyone here."

For God's sake PLEASE! Are you serious? I just can't believe that for some stupid reason you got here before me!

Even so, you're still loved by everyone at home,

there's always dinner waiting on table, y'know!

My parents hardly were home, and when they were, they hardly gave me anything to eat, claiming I was too fat, which I am, or that they were too tired.

"I'm hungry!" Said the boy as he shed a tear, the boy smart as can be then disappeared.

And like that,

there was someone everyday,

I listened to their tales,

I made them turn away.

First it was my own brother, then Declan, a few others that I don't know.

But yet there was no one who,

would do this for me,

no way I could,

let out all this pain!

For the very first time, there I see,

someone with same pains as me,

having done this time a time again,

he wore a patched cardigan.

Virgil Nix. Probably the person I admired most. He could dodge situations and spit out insults as quick as whip. He might have anxiety, but he's much braver than I'll ever be. That's why I felt compelled to stop him. In all honesty, I'd probably stop anybody, even if I hated them.

"I just wanna stop the scars that grow,

every time that I go home.

That's why I came up here instead!"

That what the boy in the cardigan said.

Woah, wait a moment,

what did I just say?

I couldn't care less either way.

But in the moment I just screamed,

something that I did not believe;

"Hey..don't do it please.."

AH, what to do?

I can't stop this boy,

oh this is new,

for once I think I've bitten off more than I can chew!

But even so,

please just go away,

so I can't see,

your pitiful expression is just too much for me!

"I guess today is just not my day!"

He looked/walked away from me and then he disappeared.

I sighed shakily. That was a close call. I didn't want to be partly responsible for a death of somebody I admired so much.

There's no-one here today,

I guess it's time,

Its just me, myself and I,

There's no one who can interfere,

no one to get in my way here!

Taking of my red sash,

A gift from my grandmother, I took it off carefully, then tied it in a neat bow. I took my shoes off too. I placed the small note in front of my shoes.

Running my fingers through my hair,

this cowardly boy, unloved as can be,

is gonna jump now and be free!
