Being Different

Go away

Anxiety's POV

"Why are you like this? Wherever you are or where ever you go you make it a disaster." Roman said. I looked at him glaring.

"You are not always perfect either." I retaliated.

"Name one time," Roman dared.

"Guys stop it," Thomas said suddenly. Roman looked at Thomas and I took that opportunity to sank back into the mindscape. I hurried to my room as I felt the tears coming again. I put my hoodie on as I felt the familiar wetness running down my cheeks.

I made it to my room without running into anyone, which I was thankful for. As soon as I was in my room I laid on my bed and wrapped myself in my blankets. Unable to fall asleep I just laid there thinking about everything Roman has said for a second time that day.

Roman's POV

I don't see why Anxiety has to be so rude to everyone. Thomas told us to stop and I looked at him. He looked like he was extremely stressed out. I turned back to where Anxiety was and as I expected he disappeared.

"You need a break Thomas," I stated turning back towards Thomas.

"I need to finish this, Anxiety was right." He replied. "It shouldn't take me this long to finish it."

"That's exactly what he wants you to think," I reasoned. "If you do this when you are this stressed out then you won't do that great of a job."

"Yeah, I guess," He nodded. "Don't know what's wrong with him, but lately he seems to be bothering me more than usual."

"You could take some of those anxiety pills to make so he doesn't bother you as often." I stated.

"Yeah, I guess." He replied sighing. "Hopefully it doesn't come to that."

"Do you want to watch some Disney with me?" I asked changing the subject.

"Yeah, Let's watch some Disney." Thomas said standing up. We went into the front room and he turned on Moana. By the time the third movie was over Thomas was asleep. Thank goodness too because he needs it. I sank down into the mindscape and walked into the kitchen to find Patton making cookies.

"I am making some for Anxiety," the parental figure stated seeing me. "He seems out of sorts."

"He's always out of sorts." I mumbled getting a cup and filling it with water. Patton didn't answer, either because he didn't hear me or he didn't want to reply. After I finished my water I set the cup in the sink and went into my room.

Patton's POV

I finished making the cookies and went to Anxiety's room. When I got to the door I knocked.

"Anxiety are you in there?" I asked. No answer. I tried turning the door knob to find it was locked. Maybe he wanted to be left alone. "Anxiety?" I knocked again.

"Go away," I heard him call out.

"Anxiety. Is something wrong?" I asked. "I made you cookies."

"Give them to someone who actually matters." He replied. "Like Roman."

"You do matter," I replied back. "Why wou-"

"GO away," Anxiety said again. "There is a reason my door is locked." I slowly walked away. He can't stay in his room forever, I'll just give him these cookies when he comes out. I went to find Princey and see if he was in his room. Knocking on the door it was opened by Roman. He let me in and I sat on his bed next to him.

"You should go talk to Anxiety," I told Roman.

"What? Why?" He asked.
