Being Different

Hidden places

Patton's POV

"What do you mean he's right outside?" I asked. Anxiety got extremely quiet.

"It's..nevermind..." He stumbled. This was unlike him. What happened with him and Roman? I know Roman has said some pretty hurtful things to Anxiety, but I've never seen Anxiety this worked up about something. Especially since he's been avoiding telling me. The only information I've got is that Roman said something.

"Anxiety," I sternly said. He cowered? If Roman was standing outside the door, how long has he been standing there? Can he hear everything we were talking about? How does Anxiety know in the first place?

Anxiety looked at the ground and played with his jacket sleeves. "Can I just be alone?" He asked. "For a little while at least," He sounded like he was begging. I gave in.

"If you need me just ask. Don't be afraid to accept help," I said. I opened the door and stepped out, making sure to close it behind me. I went to check on Thomas. Hopefully Anxiety doesn't make Thomas go into a panic attack.

"Patton," Prince said running up to me.

Romans's POV

I decided to go back to my room after not being able to hear anything. It was slow and boring. There were no dragon witches for me to slay, Logan was reading (bor-ring), Patton was helping Anxiety, and Thomas was sleeping. Thomas needs his sleep, no thanks to Anxiety.

I decided to watch some Disney. The first one was Aladdin, Thomas's favorite.

I was to the part where Jasmine and Aladdin meet when I heard footsteps. It must either be Patton or Logan. I decided to check. If it was Patton I wanted to talk to him. If it was Logan I wanted to ask him a few questions.

Pausing the movie I got up and walked out of my bedroom. From down the hall I could see a blue shirt and a cardigan wrapped around Morality's shoulders. I ran up to him.

"Patton." I stated.

"Hey kiddo," He replied. He wasn't his usual cheerful self, but I'm guessing that's because he's a little mad at me for getting Anxiety upset.

"I'm not your- I guess right now that's not important," I said. "We need to talk about something."

"Sure what's up?" He asked, looking eagerly at me. I told him what I overheard Thomas and Logan talking about.

"Why would Thomas do that?" the parent asked. I shrugged my shoulders and he sighed. "I need to speak to Logan about it." Patton said starting to walk off. "What is Thomas doing now anyway?" He asked turning back to me.

"He's asleep," I stated.

"Good, I hate to admit it, but he does need his sleep and it's nice when he can get it." Patton said walking off. Most likely to find Logan and 'discuss' some things with him.

I went back to my room to finish my movie.

Anxiety's POV

I waited until I heard Patton's footsteps fade away. Once I knew he was gone I waited for another good two minutes. I couldn't have anyone following me. I opened my bedroom door slowly and quietly. Luckily being quiet and unnoticed was something I was apparently good at. I still wasn't taking any chances. Looking both ways and seeing no one I bolted out the door and ran down the hallway. After a few more twists and turns I arrived at my destination. No one knew of this place and I plan to keep it that way. It's the only place I can come to get complete quiet. Opening the door I slipped inside. This room was my favorite place to go, the only thing is that I can hardly come here because everyone pesters me all the time or else they would see me come here.

Hope you liked this chapter.
Can anyone guess what is in the room that makes Anxiety like it so much? Why is it his favorite place to go?
Anyway thanks for reading. :)
