~Third Person POV~
Logan has been silently trying to figure out why Patton is upset.
It's been another week, and Patton has been trying harder to hide his feelings. Roman doesn't suspect anything, but Virgil is worried and 3 people are on to him.
So it's not going well for him.
Right now, they were filming a video - that is, the main 4 sides and Thomas.
Patton was struggling to stay happy, and Roman fighting with Logan wasn't helping.
"Well, at least I can make Thomas happy after a long day!" Roman says.
"Perhaps, but you lack the ability to keep him organized." Logan responded.
"Guys can we.. You know.. Get along..?" Patton says quietly, trying to smile.
Everyone seems to either ignore or just not hear Patton, save for Thomas; he looked at Patton with worry as the others kept fighting.
"Guys,.. K-kiddos come on there's no need to fight.." Patton says, but again, is ignored.
This made Patton mad, though he doesn't know where the anger is coming from.
"I said be QUIET!!!" Patton shouts, stopping everything.
Thomas and Virgil jump and look at Patton, almost afraid. Logan stops talking and looks at him, taken aback but mentally noting the outburst. Roman looked slightly startled by the outburst and shut up immediately.
It was then that Patton realized he had yelled at them, jumping back ever-so-slightly and covering his mouth.
"Patton-" Virgil says, almost not believing that happened. Patton doesn't stick around; he sinks out to his room.
~Logan's POV~
What on Earth? Patton never yells at us. Ever. He usually finds a calm way to calm us down. This time was different, though I can't figure out why...
Is this outburst linked to him being upset? I've noticed he's trying to hide it, but I know something is the matter. I need to know what it is.
"What... Was that...?" Thomas asks. "I'm unsure, Thomas, but I will go check on him, if you'll excuse me." I say, sinking out and knocking on Patton's door.
"Who is it.." he mumbles, as if hiding in a pillow. "Logan." I answer simply.
"... Come in..." he says, to which I oblige and walk in. He's laying on his bed, arm over his eyes.
"Patton, are you alright?" I ask him, making him jump a little. "I-i'm fine Logan! What would make you think I'm not?"
"Um, the outburst you just had out there. Patton, I do not like emotions, but I am worried for you.." I say, frowning a little as I watch him get up and pace his room a bit.
"There's nothing to be worried about; I am fine." He insists, though I still can't bring myself to believe that.
"Patton you have to talk to me.." I tell him, no, plead of him. I need to know what's bothering him, I need to know now.
~Patton's POV~
What is it making me so irritable?! I got mad at them for fighting and now I'm getting mad at Logan for not dropping the subject! He's just trying to help...
Of course, I had to be dumb and not realize it.
"I said I'm fine!!!!" I shout, not as loud as before, but still a shout. I immediately felt bad, but the anger didn't leave.
Logan jumps a little but kept calm, though frowning. "You don't appear so..." he says, genuinely seeming worried.
I can't respond. I don't want to yell again! Just give me some time, I'll cool down eventually!!
"Patton, if something is on your mind, you know you can always talk to-"
"Leave me alone!!!... Please.." I interrupt, holding one of my arms and looking away.
Logan looked almost hurt when I yelled, which is what made me drop my tone.. But now he just looks more hurt.. Gosh please just give me time... I'll be okay soon...
I have to be...
"... Very well, Patton... I suppose, come talk to me when you're ready to do so." Logan says, standing up and going to his room.
I did it again, I ruined something again..
~Logan's POV~
I'm doing more research, and I'm not liking what I'm finding. I had, of course, had depression in my mind for a while as a cause of Patton's off behavior.
However I think I've just confirmed it. I researched causes of outbursts of anger or anything along those lines, and the first probable cause each one listed was either an anger issue...
Or depression.
I sigh and run a hand through my hair. That can't be right; why would Patton be depressed? What bothered him so much that he's still stuck and dwelling on it?
I took my glasses off, setting them on the table in front of me and covering my face with my hands. This could be bad, from what I know on the topic.
But what am I supposed to do? Patton won't talk to me!!... I mean... Anyone. He won't talk to anyone, and that hinders our ability to help.
I just want... No, I need to help him. I can't bear to see Patton like this, and I'd rather die than see it get worse.
