Trigger Warnings: past abusive relationship, swearing, yelling, and panic attack.
No one's P.O.V
All of the sides were recording a video for Thomas, and it was going great. For all except for a certain anxious persona; he felt something terrible was going to happen. And not the usual anxiety, no, he felt like he was in danger. Of course, he didn't say anything and pretended everything was fine. But he noticed something that set him even further off the edge: Prince kept glancing, even smirking, at the other. Every time he saw the royal shoot a look at him, his breath hitched, it reminded him of... no. He's moved on from that.
The others didn't notice Anxiety's fear, or Prince's glances at Virgil, so they kept going on with the dilemma at hand: Thomas had a crush. This had all the sides arguing and trying to make their case of whether or not to act on it. Logan and Virgil were one the side of not acting on it, and Roman and Patton were on the side of acting on it.
On the subject of Roman, he was acting different. Making ruder, more sarcastic remarks at others, quick to yell or snap at the others, and he hasn't mentioned Disney ONCE. Virgil immediately caught on to this, and it freaked him out so much; his mind racing too much to actually be paying attention. He had a thought; a terrible, terrifying thought, a thought he didn't want to believe for a second.
Then, the other confirmed the awful thought. The thought that made his blood run cold. The thought that shook awake memories he hid. With one sneer remark, Virgil crumbled.
"Come on, he would be happier in a relationship... Wouldn't you agree, puppet?"
Virgil let out a noise of choked pain, screeched in utter terror, and popped up in his room; where he locked the door, and sobbed his eyes out. Letting out screams of fear, pain, and memories. He didn't fully comprehend it; he couldn't even think straight at the moment. All he could see was flashbacks to those nights, even those were blurred through his stream of tears that wouldn't stop. His screams were drowned out by the taunting voice of his ex-tormentor. He just stayed there, basking in his hurt and fear, sobbing out his past pain.
The others were extremely worried and confused at Anxiety's abrupt disappearance. They all stood still in confusion, staring at the empty place in the stairwell; all except for 'Princey', who was smirking like he was the devil.
"What the heck was that?!" Thomas exclaimed frantically, looking at the other for conformation that what he saw actually happened.
"I have no clue, is he alright?" Patton said, extremely concerned for his Dark Strange Son.
"Well, I am no expert on emotions, Patton, but I bet you since he screamed on his way out, that NO he's not ok!" Logan yelled, he hated when he didn't understand something, and he couldn't understand this one bit.
"Calm down, I'm sure there's an explanation for this... I can't summon him back, guys."
"Roman, what did you say to him and why did he freak out?" Logan asked cautiously.
"Oh, whatever do you mean? I did no such thing; it's not MY fault Virgil hasn't told you the truth." he sneered, still smirking like a devil.
"Roman? What are you talking about?" Patton asked with a sad confusion in his voice.
"Has he not told you? Told you about his past? Told you about his years in the sub-conscious? Did he not let you in on his little secret?" he gave Patton a sick, sinister smile.
