~A Light in the Shadows~ PRINXIETY FANFIC [EDITING] (temporary cover)

Chapter Five ~Part II

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M REAAAALLLYYYY EXCITED ABOUT WHAT'S COMING UP IN THE NEXT FEW CHAPTERS! I had to break them up because they were so long. The good stuff should be coming really soon. For now, enjoy this part!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Roman's POV:

I went to knock on the door, but I just couldn't for some reason. It's just a door! We are the same person technically, so that's not a problem. I don't know how to face him. What am I supposed to say, 'Oh hi! I heard you singing in the shower and I thought it was beautiful. By the way, have you been planning to kill yourself'? I pressed my back against the door and slid down into a sitting position. I can't assume anything until I talk to him, but how can I talk to him about something like this? This could literally be life or death. I heard the shower suddenly go silent.

'Time's up. Guess it's now or never.'

The door opened and I fell backward onto the cold bathroom floor. Anxiety looked down at me, a confused look on his face. It was honestly weird to see him without makeup. He didn't seem angry or anything, which was also strange. He was already wearing his normal clothes (That could've been a little awkward.), but his hair wasn't very wet. That's....odd.

"Can I help you?" He asked in a calm, neutral tone. I blushed slightly. He actually looked pretty cute right now.

'Now's not the time for crushes, Princey. We have to get this done first. Then, maybe we'll have time for a little romance.'

I cleared my throat and held my hands behind my back, trying to hide the fact that my hands were shaking. "Yes, actually. I need to talk to you about something, but not here. Would you mind if we talked in my room?" I asked, trying not to sound threatening or anything. I knew he wouldn't want to talk about something like this in front of the others.

"Uh....okay...?" He said, something changing in his eyes. I saw it the second it appeared: fear. He knew that I knew. He tried to keep up the act that he didn't know what I wanted, but I could see through it. I held his hand gently and lead him to my room.

'Maybe next time this happens y-'

SHUT UP, INTERNAL MONOLOGUE! THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS! My room was pretty much what you'd expect it to be: red. It had red walls with white curtains, a white bedspread and pretty much all white decor. All of Thomas' acting awards glittered in the sunlight shining through my sheer curtains. I sat Anxiety down on my bed and sat next to him. He appeared really confused, but he was hard to read at the moment.

"Okay, don't freak out. I just want to ask a few questions," I said in a calm voice. "I promise, I won't judge your answers or anything like that. I just want you to know that we're completely safe here. Nothing we say here has to leave this room, okay?" He nodded, his eyes widening slightly. He probably knew what's coming. I could practically feel his fear radiating from him. I'm honestly terrified as well, but it's too late to back out now.

A/N
