Being Different

"I know you"

Another chapter. Hope you enjoy. :)

Virgil's POV

I felt the warmth that was surrounding me go away and that's when I woke up. I sat up shortly after and found nothing there. Maybe it was my imagination? or even what I wanted to happen. I want to feel cared for, but I don't. I feel neglected and forgotten. I feel like I have endless time, but I'm going to run out of time if I don't hurry. Most of all is that I feel constant anxiousness. I decided to just learn to cope and deal with it. Even if there's no one for me except Patton. He's the only one so far who even seemed like he remotely cared about me.

Not long after I woke I felt a tugging feeling. It felt like someone was tugging on my wrist, except it wasn't just on my wrist. I felt it through-out my whole body. It felt familiar in some strange way. I hesitated following that feeling, because of a couple of things. The first being where did it come from? or else where did it go? (where did it come from cotton eyed joe) I wanted to just stay in my room, but the shadows started coming again and I decided to go towards the tugging feeling.

"What am I doing here?" I spoke up.

"I'm so glad you all are here." someone stated. That voice was new, but it was familiar. Everyone looked at him. I turned and saw who was the one talking.

"I..I know you." I blurted out without thinking or hesitating. Everyone looked stunned.

The guy in the center looked confused. "Of course you would...why wouldn't you?" He asked me. Why wouldn't I know him? I couldn't remember where I knew him.

"He has temporary amnesia" The guy with the necktie stated calmly. I think his name was Logan? I can't remember all the names Patton told me.

Patton started talking. "We were going to tell you, Thomas, as soon as it happened. but something came up and we couldn't." I didn't like how they were talking about me. I was still standing here.

"How did he get amnesia?" the guy- Thomas asked everyone. They all glanced at me and I didn't want to do anything, but become invisible.

"You remember the forgotten room I told you about?" Logan asked Thomas. Thomas nodded slowly. Do they not remember that I'm still here? I have no idea what they are talking about.

"Was he in there too long?" Thomas asked after a minute of thinking. Logan nodded. I sat down and tried to make myself smaller than I really was.

"Virgil?" Patton turned to me. I looked up at him.

"I..I shouldn't have said anything." I told him.

"Why not?" The Prince guy asked.

"Does he not know any of you?" Thomas asked. Everyone went silent.

"No. He couldn't remember any of us." Princey told Thomas.

"Then how do you remember me?" Thomas turned to me.

"I'm..not..sure..." I shrugged. "I know you from somewhere, but I don't know anyone else." I whispered the last part.

"A reason could be that because, you,Virgil are a part of Thomas. We are all linked to Thomas, but not to each other." Logan explained. Everyone nodded in agreement. I was confused. Patton looked at me then over to Logan.

Patton's POV

I was happy that Virgil remember Thomas. It means that he has some of his memory. What Logan said about why, makes sense. I looked over at Virge and could tell that he was confused. It looked like he'd rather be in his room than in Thomas's living room right now. Honestly it looked like he'd rather be anywhere else then here.

Logan's POV

"Can..can we be done for today?" Virgil asked. His voice was quiet and soft. He sounded...timid. I think the word is. He looked frightened. He still didn't know any of us, except Thomas so it makes sense. To him he's with a bunch of strangers.

"Of course we can kiddo." Patton replied.

"Why?" Thomas looked at Virgil. The darker persona was sitting on the stairs and looked tired.

"I have a small headache." It surprised me how open Virge was. He wasn't like this before. Maybe it would be better the get his memory's back, then we would have the old Virgil back.

"You mean an infinitesimal headache," Patton said. Virgil sighed. He probably had no clue what that word meant anyway. I was annoyed. You make ONE mistake and that's what happens. Patton has been using that word every chance he got. Especially in front of me.

"Patton." Roman said sternly. Patton looked at the fanciful persona. "Now. Is not the time." Patton pouted for a minute then looked at Virge.

"Alright. We can continue this later?" Thomas said. Everyone nodded. Roman and Patton sank down.

I was about to when I heard my name called. "Logan," I came back up looking at Thomas. He motioned his head towards Virgil. I looked over in his direction and saw he was nervous.

"Um..Logan?" He said my name like he wasn't sure. I nodded."Is...is there anyway to..." He paused and played with the sleeves of his hoodie.

"Continue." I told him.

"Is there anyway to get my memory back?" He said looking up expectedly at me.
