A Shoulder To Cry On

Chapter 4-Was I not wanted at this exact second?

It's the 19th of December, 2016 and Virgil just can't resist but showing up in the third Sander Sides video.

Virgil's POV

As I was watching Black Cauldron with Deceit, I heard Thomas setting up for a video.
"Better make sure he doesn't do anything stupid," I sighed as I stood up.
"Awwww..." Deceit whined.
"I gotta do my job, but I'll be right back ok?" I said.
"Fine, I'll pause it for you," he said.

"I'm actually feeling quite relaxed," Thomas said calmly.
"Hey" I said.
"WHAT THE HECK?!??!!" Thomas exclaimed.
I was hurt but I had to stay strong, just like Deceit said. I had to do the one thing I was good at, being sarcastic and blunt.
"Oh I'm sorry, was I not wanted at this exact second?" I said putting my hand on my chin.
"Oh for crying out loud. Ok. Everyone, please welcome, my anxiety,"
"Sup," I said casually.

Later on, Thomas starts wishing I was never here blah blah blah and then he summoned Roman. Blegh.
"Hey there Princey," I said.
"Uggh. I can't stand that guy," Roman said.
"Tell me about it," Thomas said.

Later on, Thomas flies us all the way to see Lily Singh, as they both listed things they hate about me, though I'm not even Lily's anxiety so I don't see what her problem is.

When I was doing my job, Lily ignored me. I guess sometimes I do go over the top.

When I finally got back, Deceit glared at me with his arms folded.
"Where were you?" he asked.
"W-well, Thomas f-flew us t-to Lily Singh a-and they...They. They," I broke down as I remembered their harsh words that were probably edited out of the video.

Deceit's face softened and he embraced me in a hug. I caught my breath at the contact but eventually eased into it and cried on his shoulder.
"Oh Virgil," he said, "They didn't see you cry, did they?"
"No," I replied.
"Good, because crying is a sign of weakness," he stated.

I stopped crying.
"That doesn't mean you can't cry in front of me," he said with an understanding smile.

"I-I don't understand," I said.
"If we want to take full control of Thomas and destroy the other sides, you must look tough and unharmed by their words or they'll walk all over you and never take you seriously," he explained, "that was my mistake."

Patton's POV

As I was making a new stuffed-side teddy (Anxiety), I got a notification that Thomas had posted a new video. When I clicked on the link, I was upset. Not because neither Logan or I were in the video, it was because the video was titled, 'Battling Anxiety'.

I've always felt bad for Anxiety. When he told me about what it was like to spend 11 years watching Thomas grow up, watching relationships develop and break, watch arguments and conversations play out, and could never be a part of it, I cried.

He looks interesting. His veiw on life is interesting. He's interesting. Everything about him is interesting. I just wish I could tell him my feelings.

Roman's POV

Aaaaaa. Yet another video done. And might I say I did a splendid job. It was so much fun! I got to meet Lily Singh, I got to be in her another video (that's 3 in a row now) and I got to get rid of Anxiety!
