Patton P.O.V.

Roman just entered Virgil's room to make sure he was okay. I'm sitting with Logan in the living room. The atmosphere is still tense even if we know Anxiety will be better soon. I stare at my feet not saying a word.

"Uhm, Patton? Are you alright?" Logan asks as he slides closer to me.

"It's all my fault..." I whisper.

"What? No noth-"

"Yes it is!" I say with my eyes filled with tears. "Everything is..."

"Patton, don't say that!"

"It's true Logan! The first time Virgil told me about his feelings for Roman, I wasn't even there to support him! Deceit took over me and lied telling him. He told him that it would never work between them. And now, when I try to make things right again between Roman and Virgil, I mess it up again. Virgil is in that bed, weak and sore because of me! Because I ruined everything..."

"Listen Morality. First of all, you have no control over Deceit. He's the one who lied to Virgil, not you. And second, you tried your best to help Virgil and Roman. It was already stiff between them anyways. Plus, just like you, Anxiety can't control when he will have an anxiety attack. You shouldn't feel guilty about any of this."

"But-"

"No but's! You're the one who took care of Virgil this whole week because I was too busy and Roman was having a crisis. You're the one who cooked food everyday for all of us. You're the one who cleaned up the house and you never once complained! You never gave up. You should be proud of all that you did for Virgil, Roman and myself. Do you understand me?" Logan says grabbing my cheeks for me to face him. Tears start running down my cheeks.

"I do..." I say as I lay on his chest. He hugs me back. I feel safe and in peace. He kisses my forehead before lying his head on mine.

"Maybe I should see what's taking so long." I say sitting back up.

"Surely."

I stand up and walk towards Virgil's room. I knock on the door and Roman opens the door.

"Hey, is everything alright in here?"

"Oh, sweet Prince of Narnia are you okay?! Your face is red like theatre drapes! Were you crying?"

"Oh yeah, I'm fine. I talked to Logan."

"Alrighty well Virgil is awake now." he says as he opens the door wider for me to look. I peek and Virgil still seems weak but he gives me a little smirk before looking at his wall again.

"Uh Roman?"

"Yeah?"

"Would you mind if me and Virgil have a little talk?"

"Oh sure." he replies before walking out of the room, leaving me and Virgil alone.

"So... How are you feeling?" I ask.

"Uh, weak. But I'll be fine."

"Look, I'm sorry for what I said earlier. I should've listened to you. It's my- It's ok if you're mad at me..."

"Mad at you? Patton, I know you were only trying to help me, but it wasn't exactly the best moment. I'm not mad at you at all. I'm more grateful than anything! Just try to practice your timing when you want to say something important." he says with a little laugh. "Also, I'm sorry I screamed at you."

"Ha, well, I'm glad that's done. I feel much better now. But, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah?"

"What took you guys so long in here?"

He doesn't reply. He looks at me with a smile.

"Oh, I see." I say winking. "I'm gonna let you rest then. Call me if you need anything."

"Sure will."
