Saving My Love

Saving My Love Part 1

Chapter 1, Virgil's Pain

Virgil's POV

I was sore. Everything hurt. I had just gotten back from the Shadow Room. The f*cking dark sides & their stupid plans to destroy Thomas's happiness. Ever since Deceit pretended to be Patton last week Thomas has been worried nonstop. Which means I've been up all night while he takes stupid ideas from thin air & tries to get me to feed into them for some reason. He almost had an anxiety attack yesterday so I had to take on the weight of even more of his anxiety. Again. Which made me even more of a pain in the *ss for Patton and Logan and. Roman. What would they think of me when I showed up at the Mind Palace like this? I had bruises all over my body, a long gash on my face, & I was pretty sure my ankle definitely sprained. You're probably wondering what the h*ll I had gotten myself into. Well it was the Dark Sides. When the Dark Sides call a meeting they're all transported to the Conference Tower. That includes me. What? Anxiety can be a bad thing. I was a Dark aside until Thomas and the others accepted me. Then I realized I wasn't a Dark Side. Unfortunately me being summoned never stopped. So I usually leave before anyone notices me but today they were ready for me. I transported & instantly they where on top of me. Guilt, Disgust, & Depression held me down while Deceit laughed in my face. In the Mind Palace he doesn't have that default side where he always lies so he was pretty sinister. He told me how it was their time to rise & control Thomas's emotions & how I had chosen the wrong side. Then Hatred showed up with Fear. Fear had herself all over Hatred. I hated her. I hated them all. Fear had been my one best friend. I was the only one she had told her name to, the Dark Sides don't let anyone know their names. Not even each other. She had trusted me with her deepest secret. I still remember the day.

FLASHBACK

Fear and I were sitting in the Light Sides library after we had broken in. we had just finished our spray paint master piece on their wall.

"Hey Anx?" Fear asked looking up at me

"Ya Ghosty?" I replied looking into her stormy grey eyes

"Can I trust you?"

"Of course you can trust me."

"Even with my darkest secret?"

"...Ya. Of course."

"Um. Ok then. I want you to know my name."

"Really?"

I knew Fear was giving me a lot of trust if she was going to tell me her name.

"Ya..."

"Well in that case I'll tell you mine as well."

"Um ok. My name is, Meda."

"That's actually really pretty. Nothing like mine. I'm not so proud of my name."

"What is it?"

"My name. My name is. It's Virgil."

"That's pretty too Anx."

"Thanks Ghosty."

END OF FLASHBACK

What had I gotten myself into? I was back at the Mind Palace. "Virgil! What happened to you?!" Roman asked dropping a plate. "Nothing I'm fine."

"You certainly aren't fine!" Logan said looking me up & down. "Roman you help Virge sit down & try to find out what happened. Patton you go get the first aid kit & a few ice packs. I'll be right back. Thomas might call on Virge & I need to let him know not to." With that Logan disappeared leaving a faint trace of dark blue smoke in the air. Patton raced down the hall to get the first aid kit & Roman picked me up & carried me to the couch. He set me down. "It's gonna be OK Virge." He said quietly. "I'm here." Then I blacked out.
