Forest of Fears [Thomas Sanders fanfiction(Prince x Anxiety)]

Abandoned

Anxiety woke up alone. His first thought was that Roman had left him, but logically he knew he had to consider other things. He shouldn't just jump to a conclusion. 

Maybe he had gone to check ahead, in case something was nearby. Maybe he needed to find something. Anxiety didn't know why he would be gone, but he knew that he refused to believe he had been abandoned. Roman would be back, he was sure of it. 

So he waited. He didn't know for how long, didn't really care. He couldn't have been left behind. Roman said he wouldn't do that. He had told him they would both make it out of there. He had called Anxiety important. He wouldn't just leave him there. Right? 

The longer Anxiety sat there the more he thought about all the reasons Roman might leave him behind. After he had passed out he had basically proven all he was doing was slowing the other down. It was unsafe to stay there after he had collapsed, so of course Roman would move on without him. Why would he wait on Anxiety? Why should he? 

No. Anxiety still couldn't accept it, Roman had said so himself, had told Anxiety they would stick together. He wouldn't do this, he had proven multiple times he would help Anxiety out of there. Distracting the spiders, and getting injured because of Anxiety. Even way back in the beginning of all of this, when he saved Anxiety from the monster in the maze. 

Roman couldn't have left him. 

He got up and walked through the forest, calling out his name. Surely he was close by. 

He just couldn't have. 

Anxiety broke out into a run now. He called Roman's name more desperately. 

He couldn't be alone out here. 

He ran until he couldn't run anymore, slowing to a walk and then coming to a complete stop. He fell to his knees, tears falling from his eyes. 

He couldn't make it on his own.
