I'm Not Always the Bad Guy

The Assumption

~The previous night~

Logan POV

It was midnight and I was in charge of watching Thomas and to help him if he had any nightmares. He was talking in his sleep with a frightened expression on his face I was about to wake him up when he said something that interested me.

"Help me... Please... Anxiety why... Somebody help... hurt... please..." Anxiety. He caused this? Why? He just loves to hurt Thomas doesn't he. I will teach him a lesson next time I see him.

-------Current Time----------

Roman POV

I was walking back from the lounge to my room to catch up on beauty sleep when I received a notification for a new disney app I had downloaded on my phone, as I was checking it I accidentally ran into someone. I look down to see Virgil with a pained expression on his face.

"Are you okay my chemically imbalanced romance?" I ask offering my hand to help him up. He looks up at me and I catch a better glimpse of his face. Are those bruises?

"I'm fine princey." He states, wincing as he stands.

I try my best to put a smile on my face and act normal. Who would do this to one of our own, let alone the youngest out of us?

"Okay, sorry, bye bye Verge." I say in a forcibly cheerful way (thankfully he doesn't seem to notice) and walk to my room with a lot of questions on my mind.

Virgil POV

I curl up in my bed and try to block out all of the bad thoughts, but I lose as always. I'm the literal embodiment of Thomas's negative emotions and thoughts. I. Am. Anxiety. And nothing will ever change that.

I curl up more and end up falling asleep.

"Thomas, watch out!" I yell and jump in front of him.

BANG

BANG

BANG

I trip knocking Thomas over as well.

Crying, screaming, red, red everywhere

I wake up screaming, crying, and not being able to breathe all at the same time. I was curled into a tight ball my screams died out and turned to just sobbing. I hear the door open and see three figures. They're going to hurt me. "I don't want hurt. Please. No hur-"

Blackness.

Roman POV

We were all in the commons except Virgil, he never comes here, not for too long at least. Logan was reading the newspaper while Patton and I were watching The Little Mermaid.

"Did you hear that pandas have moved down the endangered list?" Logan asks reading the news paper.

"Sounds like a real panda-emic." Patton says with a bright smile. Logan is about to reply when we hear terrified screaming coming from down the hallway we all look at each other and rush towards the noise stops after a while but we already know where it came from.

We stop running once we reach a pitch black door. We open it and see Virgil curled up in a tangle of bedsheets sobbing. He looked up at us, he looked so fragile and afraid. His small frame racked with sobs and was coated in bruises."I don't want hurt. Please. No hur-" he says in a small whimper. He went limp and his eyes fluttered shut. Patton and I rushed over to him while Logan just stood there looking shocked.
