(Third person POV)
   Virgil sat on his bed, staring at his wrists. 'I should have never let Roman in.' He thought, clenching his fists. He stood up, walking over to the clothes he took off and slipped them on. "A visit to the DarkScape sounds nice... Atleast they like me there..." He mumbled to himself as he sunk down.

   He popped up in the Dark Commons, seeing no one there. Looking around, he realized how suspiciously quiet it was. Virgil decided to walk up the stairs and down the hall to find somebody, but was greeted with an unwanted conversation.

    "Just be patient Andy. Once the plan goes thru on Thursday, everything will be ours." Anxiety heard Deceit say as he listened through the door. "Are you even sure this will work?" Anger said with an obvious frustrated tone. "Yes. We use Virgil to overpower the Light sides, kill Virgil and take the mind for ourselves!" Deceit explained.

     Virgil felt sick. His only friends, the only people that even remotely cared for him were planning to betray him. He quickly went back to the Commons, sinking down.

    He appeared in the Light Commons, falling immidietly to the floor. Roman and Logan were discussing Thursday's video and Patton was in the kitchen. As soon a Anxiety hit the floor, Roman and Logan both looked at him in surprise.

    Anxiety couldn't see anything through his tears and couldn't hear anything through his panic. He was on his side, his knees tucked into his chest loosely. He gripped his hair tightly, panic filling his body. 

    "Patton!" Roman yelled, dropping to Anxiety's side. "Anxiety! Hey calm down its okay!" Logan watched in confusion. The last time he had seen Anxiety was when he went haywire on Roman. Now here he was, having a panic attack and Roman trying to calm him down.

     Patton rushed in and knelt down on the other side of Virgil, helping Roman calm him down. Virgil grew light headed, only being able to see three blurry people stand over his shakey body. He started seeing black specks in his vision, soon blacking out completely.

    As the three other sides watch Anxiety's body go limp, they sighed. "I wonder what that was about." Roman said, thinking back to their little talk in Anxiety's room. "I agree, this is a little surprising." Logan added. "Roman, why don't you take him to his room. He would be more comfortable in there." Patton said, looking to Roman.

    Roman nodded and picked Virgil up bridal style. Virgil had his head laying against Roman's chest, his hands curled to his chest. Patton and Logan watched as Roman carried the unconscious dark side to their room.

   Once Roman got into Anxiety's room, he laid him down gently on the black and purple bed. He sat down next to him, looking around the room.

    There were band posters, mostly Panic!, MCR, ToP, and a few more emo bands, but there were a few nightcore, and Avenged sevenfold here and there on the walls. The desk pushed against the wall at the foot of his bed had papers covering it, mostly doodles or notes. There were purple christmas lights hanging around the room, giving the room a purple glow.

   'Anxiety really is just a teen at heart...' Roman thought, looking down at the sleeping trait. His hair was in his face, his makeup smeared from earlier tears. He reached over and ran a hand through Virgil's hair, pushing it out of his face. 'Are those freckles?' Roman thought with a smirk.

    'He is quite cute this way... Wait! No! I didnt just say that... Did I?' Roman thought to himself. 'Anxiety's not cute! Well... He is but... Uh oh..' Roman thought, staring at Anxiety. 'I don't like him... Do I?' He got lost in thought, not realizing that Virgil had woken up.

    Virgil opened his eyes to see he was in his room, rubbing his head. 'What happened...?' He thought, looking over to see Roman staring at him. "Uhm... Roman...?" He spoke up, snapping the fanciful trait out of his trance. "S-sorry Anxiety... Didnt mean to stare, just lost in thought" Roman said, blushing a deep red before standing up from Anxiety's bed.

    "Its okay... Uhm... You should go. I got to uh, shower." Anxiety said, sitting up. He was trying to get Roman to go, so he could think of a plan to stop Deceit and the others. He sadly remembered that part, but forgot everything about the panic attack. "Uhm.. Yes. Ill leave you be" Roman said sadly, walking over to the exit. "You know Anxiety... Im always here to talk.." Roman said before leaving.

    'Why was Roman being so nice?' Virgil thought, getting up from his bed and stretching. He walked over to his desk and sat down, starting to write out a plan for Thursday. 'Thursday..." He mumbled, closing his eyes.

"What am I going to do..."
