This is a few days later, the relationship just ended
~Patton's POV~
Yeah... I won't lie when I say that today could be better.
I sigh. Roman and I especially took a big hit from the relationship ending; Roman being Thomas's romance and I being his heart... We're not doing so great right now.
Just about all of us are crying, save for the dark sides and Logan. Of course, Logan looks just slightly bothered, but he doesn't cry often. Ever, actually.
I'm crying though. Thomas is emotionally hurt, and well, I'm his emotions.
~Roman's POV~
This had to have been my fault. Where did I go wrong?! Obviously I didn't do a good enough job, otherwise he would have stayed! I don't understand, did I not do enough?
I was supposed to be the one who kept Thomas's relationships going... Now that they broke up, I can't help but blame myself... If I would have just tried a little more maybe it would've lasted..
~Virgil's POV~
I knew it, I fricking knew it! There were so many signs! I'm. Not. Okay. (I promise.)
But I should be fine, eventually. Who I'm worried about is Roman, or Patton. Patton especially. I have no idea how long it will take him to move on from this..
It concerns me, I see him as my dad, and I really don't like seeing him upset..
~Third Person POV~
The rest of the day went on like this, the three staying in their rooms and those unaffected doing what they normally do.
The next day was not much better, but Roman and Virgil weren't having as big of an existential crisis anymore. Patton would cry every now and then, but he tried not to.
Especially when the other two came in, different times of course.
Virgil came in to talk to Patton about just everything that bothered him about it, and hug Patton, exchange affection, all that.
Roman came in to talk though things, about how he thought it was his fault. Patton would try to comfort him and tell him it wasn't.
"But Pat, I'm supposed to be Thomas's romance! If he has a breakup, doesn't that mean I went wrong somewhere?!" Roman says, Patton handing him some tissues.
"No, Roman.. Sometimes, relationships just... Aren't meant to be. But it'll be alright! H-he can still find someone who loves him!" Patton responds, trying to look happy.
"How can you be so sure?! It took us forever just to-.." Roman noticed Patton's facial expression change slightly when he yelled at him, immediately feeling bad.
"I-i'm sorry, Patton, I'm just... Overwhelmed, at the moment. I should go.. Cool down for a bit, I'm sorry for yelling." Roman says, standing up and leaving. Patton waved a little, sighing.
"I don't know, Roman, I just wanted to make you feel better... I just want everyone to feel better, I don't like when everyone is sad... I hope everyone can feel better soon, and me...? I... I should be fine, right..?" Patton says to himself, pacing his room slightly.
~Patton's POV~
Does it really matter how this will affect me personally in the long run? I mean, I'm Thomas's heart, I need to focus on keeping him happy. I can focus on myself when everyone is better.
Just one more day, and I'll be "better". I can be there for the others to talk to, and I can comfort them without being sad! That's how this works, right? I'm the person who's supposed to provide everyone, namely Thomas, with happiness. So if I act happy tomorrow and help everyone, it should help everyone feel better; make Thomas feel better.
Right?
If everyone feels better and is happy, that means Thomas will be happy, and that's my priority: keeping Thomas happy. My feelings won't matter, I can act happy, and knowing me, it'll work, and I'll eventually forget about all the pain from this whole situation.
I mean, I hope. I hope that's what'll happen.
~Roman's POV~
I made Patton upset, I didn't mean to do that. I'm just upset by this breakup. However, I, too, must learn how to move on. I think I should be able to; like Patton said, relationships, sometimes, just don't hold together.
Maybe this is for the better. Obviously, he wasn't happy with Thomas. And if we love him, we respect that.
Of course I want him back. He made me feel like I had a bigger purpose than just... Creativity. Yes, I know creativity is important and all, but romance is where I'd rather be working. I love doing romantic gestures, I love making someone feel happy.
So of course I'd want him back, can you blame me? Part of what I am is Thomas's romance and romantic feelings, and as long as Patton, his heart, still loves him, then so will I yearn for him back..
But it's not Patton's fault either, he can't help who he grows attached to. No one can control their heart. If you love someone, so be it.
What I am worried about though, is there are healthy ways to move on, and unhealthy ways. What I'm hoping doesn't happen is Patton chooses an unhealthy way. I care about him, he's like the dad here. The last thing I'd want to see is him being upset.
Regardless, I'm hopeful everyone will be alright. Yes, break-ups are hard, but as I said, there are ways to overcome them. There's still hope for future romance.
For me, there's still hope.
