My Emo Nightmare

Mostly saved

Einstein once said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over agin but expecting different results."

......But hey, that was just Einstein.

Anxiety's pov
It was dark and unsettlingly quiet. "Hello?"

Roman came into view and started walking towards me.

Before I could even say anything he yelled, "When are you finally gonna stop acting like a parasite?!"

This feels familiar....

He gave me a sly grin and crossed his arms, "You know we never cared about you, right? How could we when you're so.... you. Nobody could ever love you."

"Pri—"

"Don't. Don't call me Princey or Prince. Only my friends get to call me that. On the subject of friends, do you really think Patton or Logan want you? Think about it, Logan doesn't want to tell you that you existing annoys him, because he doesn't want to hurt Thomas. And Patton just politely allows you to talk to him occasionally."

"There's one problem with your reasoning." I spoke, confidently. I have no idea what I'm doing but I've had this dream ever since Roman yelled at me, so I'm going with a different approach instead of just letting him yell.

He looked caught off guard and asked, "Oh yeah? What's that genius?"

"This is all a dream. I didn't get it when I first got here, but it came back to me. That doesn't mean what you're saying isn't true. What makes it untrue is the fact that right now, I'm being hurt. Sure, I deserve it but Patton is crying. If what you say is so true, then shouldn't Patton be happy that I'm getting what I deserve?"

Prince paused. I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow at him. "....Well?"

"Well, that's just Patton. Patton doesn't like violence. I can tell you from this end that Logan doesn't care about you, he just wants to find Morality."

"Man, you need to up your game, Mr. Bad. Again, this is a dream. You have no idea what Logan's doing right now and even if you want to retaliate to the whole 'Logan just doesn't wanna hurt Thomas' thing, he knows most of what we do doesn't effect Thomas drastically. We discussed this around the week I showed up."

".........."

".........."

"Why are you doing this?" He asked finally. "You're Anxiety, you're supposed to assume horrible things are happening."

"Yeah.... that's how it's been every other time you've visited but this is different because it'd be selfish to worry about a fucking popularity contest while Patton slowly wastes away. So," I looked upward and smirked, "Can I leave now?"

Roman looked mad and I started to think he'd hit me again but as he took a step forward, he dissolved.

Logan cleared his throat behind me. "Anxiety?"

I turned to face him. "Hey Nerd. I don't suppose you're actually you and we fell asleep at the same time."

He smiled sadly, "I'm afraid that's not the case. I regret to inform you that you can't wake up. Due to medical issues, sleep is required."

"So you're the entertainment until I'm okay?" I asked.

"Basically." He agreed.

I sat down and waved him over. He sat down next to me. "So.... lucid dream?"

"Maybe, you know this is a dream and humans can experience lucid dreaming. I don't see why you shouldn't be able to."

I focused on making a couch and the one from our house popped up next to us. I got up and flopped down onto it.
