Something's Wrong

~Anxiety's POV~

I enter the commons and see that Logic set up the screen to watch a movie, Morality has put out popcorn, chips, and cookies, and Prince has brought out a collection of DVDs for us to choose from. Prince turns when he hears the door open and smiles.

"Perfect! Now that everyone is here we can decide what to watch!" he says cheerfully. The others nod in agreement.

We all walk over to the stacks of DVDs and try to decide on one, but we all end up with different choices. I want to watch The Blair Witch Project. Logan wants to watch Harry Potter. Prince wants to watch any and EVERY disney movie. Morality wants to watch Homeward Bound.

Arguing gives me headaches and anxiety so I back out and leave the others to decide. I look around and notice that everyone seems to have gotten themselves a drink earlier. I start feeling a bit thirsty myself so I head to the kitchen and grab a can of Pepsi.

When I return I see Logic putting in a DVD, Prince pouting on the couch, and Morality looking at pictures of dogs on his phone. I sit down with a suspicion of who won the argument, which is confirmed when i hear the familiar little tune that represents Harry Potter. I don't mind the choice that much. Less chances for Prince to burst out into song... albeit be does have a nice voice.

We sit in silence other than the occasional 'pass the popcorn'. I try to just sit back and relax but I can't. I still have this feeling that something bad is gonna happen. I tell myself that it's nothing but it doesn't work. Big surprise there. Why do the others get to relax? Why do they get to be happy while I'm stuck worrying over nothing? I shake the thought out of my head and focus on the movie.

~Thomas's POV~

I sit on my couch and read a book for a while. Suddenly, I look to the clock and realize that the medication should kick in any minute now. I decide it would be a good idea to get some sleep since I won't have anxiety keeping me up. I head to my bedroom and lie down, closing my eyes and drifting surprisingly easily into sleep.

~Anxiety's POV~

We're about a quarter into the movie when I feel that Thomas is taking a nap. Normally, this is when I would go pester him with worries that may prevent his sleep but also keep him aware of his surroundings and on his toes. I decide to catch him a break since I'm watching a movie and honestly just couldn't be bothered right now. I go to take a sip of my Pepsi but the can is empty. Sighing, I go to the kitchen to grab a new drink. As I walk the feeling I've been having just gets worse until I'm absolutely sure that something bad is about to happen. There's no denying it. I reach for a new can of soda but stop halfway.

Oh shit...

~Morality's POV~

We're all sitting here, watching Harry Potter, when I notice Anxiety get up to refresh his drink. I'm really glad he came to movie night. I'll admit, we weren't the nicest to him in the past, but over the last couple video's we've realised that he's just doing his job which, like the rest of us, is to watch out for and take care of Thomas. We've also realized that he has a lot of self hate. We try to be nicer to him but I don't think he notices. Actually... I'm not sure he believes in a kind world anymore. I can't help but think that it's our fault, which it might partially be.

We should help him. We need to restore his faith in the world. I feel so bad when I see him all sad and depressed... I wonder how we could make it up to him? Maybe we could---

Thud!!
