-Princey's POV-

The next morning I woke up to Patton calling us for breakfast. I quickly got dress, did my hair and went to the front room. Logan and Anxiety were already sitting at the table with their breakfast. Patton handed me mine and I went to sit down. Then Patton got his food and sat down. We all started eating and having small conversations with each other. Well except for Anxiety. He was too busy listening to his music.

"Anxiety. No music or phones at the table." Patton instructed. Anxiety let out a sigh and pulled his ear buds out and put his phone in his pocket. Then he just stayed quiet, picking at his food and taking small bites.

"So Virgil-" Logan said but was cut off by Anxiety.

"Could you guys please just call me Anxiety! My names embarrassing and I hate it! Ok?!" He hollered out. We all looked at him in surprise. I don't think he ever lashed out like that before. Especially if it's about something small like his name. He then got a shock look on his face. Like he was more surprised at his outburst then we were. Next thing I knew he got up and ran to his room.

"I'll go talk to him." Patton said finishing his food and washing his plate.

"No I will. I want to be helpful to him for once." I said to Patton.

"You sure?" He asked taking my plate.

"Yeah." I started walking down to his room. I've never seen the inside of his room. No has actually. So I was curious to see what it looks like. I took a deep breath and knocked on his door.

-Anxiety's POV-

After my outburst at the table my anxiety kicked in. I needed to be alone for awhile. I just got up and ran to my room. I locked my door, put on ear buds in, sat in the corner on my room and started listening to music.

I started calming down and I went to lay on my bed. I was about too until I heard a knock on the door. I paused my music and went to my door. I opened it and saw Roman there.

"Hey Anxiety. You okay?" He asked sounding concerned.

"Yeah. I'm-I'm calm now. I'm fine." I said sounding unsure.

"You sure? We've never seen you have an outburst like that before. Or in general. Are you really okay?" He asked.

"Yes Roman. I'm fine. Ok? I'm fine." I said getting a bit annoyed.

"No your not. C-can I come in?" He asked. Is he actually serious? No one has never come into my room. And in Roman comes in my anxiety could come back. But I didn't want to be rude if he's actually concerned about me. So I let him in. He looked at my room is curiosity and amazement. I had a piano in the corner, poster of The Nightmare before Christmas and some of the disney villains, bookshelves of my journals, my favorite books and my favorite Disney movies, a desk with my laptop and my black eye shadow and foundation. And of course my walls were painted black. And had wooden floorboards with a dark grey carpet in the middle.

"Wow. I've never expected you to have a room like this. I didn't even know you played piano. I love your room" He said in surprise. I kinda blushed a bit at his complement. But my makeup made it hard for anyone to notice.

"Thanks. But why are you here again?" I asked sitting on my bed.

"I wanted to talk about that outburst you had at breakfast. I know you don't really like us calling you by your name but why though? It's so-"

"-Embarrassing?"

"No. Unique. It's creative." He complemented.

"No its not. I hate it. I didn't want to be named with such a stupid name like Virgil. Why did you think I never told you guys my name before. Cause I didn't like it and I didn't want to be laughed at. It makes me feel uncomfortable when I hear anyone say it. I prefer to be called Anxiety." I said as I was about to cry. But Roman wrapped his arms around me and hugged me. Causing me to blush behind my foundation.

"Look ever since you opened up to us you've been different. But a good different. And we're your friends Anxiety. And Logan was trying to sound professional like always. He wasn't making fun or your name. And if prefer to be called Anxiety then we understand. But we will never make fun of you for who your are." Roman said making feel a little bit more courageous about myself. He smiled at me and got up from my bed and walked to the door.

"If you need anyone to talk too we're all here for you.....Oh and for the record, I think your names beautiful. Like I said before it's unique. Kinda like you." He said leaving my room. My face was fully red. He really does care. Despite our differences and our arguments in the past we care about each other. And he's right. I shouldn't be so ashamed of my name. But I still prefer Anxiety. Roman's a great friend to me. Even though I see as something more other than a friend

-Princey's POV-

I walked out of Anxiety's room and went to mine. I closed my door and started freaking out in my mind. Did I really just call him unique and said his name is beautiful?! What is wrong with me?! I've never thought I'll ever say that to him. Why did I though?! We're just friends. What is wrong with me? Why do I feel this way about him and why does he have to be so cute!? I then realized something that could change everything.














I have a crush on Anxiety.
