I've got troubled thoughts

"Fall out boy frontman Patrick Stump attacked lead guitarist Joe Trohman on stage yesterday. The band was on their fifth show of their current save rock and roll tour when Stump froze on stage, here is video footage of the incident." The screen went on to show a video of Patrick lunging at Joe, luckily the camera never panned to the big screen to get a look at the yellow eyes.

Patrick flipped off the TV deciding he had enough. He was admitted to the hospital the night before for head injuries due to Pete's bass attack. He didn't really remember much that happened, whether that was due to Vaughn or the blunt force trauma he clearly experienced he wasn't sure. None of the guys had come in since he'd woken up which was quite surprising. As if on queue Joe walked in.

"Oh my God you're awake!" He exclaimed surprised, he smiled cautiously.

"Yea, what happened?" Joe looked surprised by that response.

"Vaughn, he paid everyone a little visit on stage." Joe explained.

"I had guessed as much by the video everyone took of m- him attacking you." Patrick paused for a moment. "I'm so sorry Joe." Patrick said dropping his head.

"'Trick it wasn't your fault." Joe said comfortingly, Patrick glanced at him and noticed for the first time since he woke up that there weren't any bruises.

"Ok, Joe with a few words to the press this has all been written off as a skit for YBC that went a little too far." Pete said walking in abruptly. He looks away from Joe only now realizing Patrick is awake.

"Trick! You're awake!" Pete exclaimed before rushing over to him. Patrick tensed at the sudden outburst and prepared for the near tackle, letting out a loud grunt once Pete reached him.

"Yep, I'm awake." He replied through laughter.

"I was worried for a while. I thought that I may have hit you too hard, uh... sorry about that by the way." Patrick just waved it off.

"You needed to stop him, it was smart." This made Pete smile before realizing he was crushing Patrick, he gently got up.

"Patrick! how are you feeling?" Asked Andy in a relatively loud voice. He had walked in during Pete and Patrick's interaction. Patrick shifted his gaze to him. There was an amused smile playing at the other mans lips.

"Like I got hit over the head with a Bass" he explained placing a hand on his swollen head. This gained a laugh from the group which made Patrick smile. A fourth man walked in dressed in the classic doctor attire, a white lab coat over a blue button up and a dark brown tie that matched his dress pants, in his hand he held a clip board and a pen, his stethoscope hung loosely around his neck. He raised his eyes from the clipboard as another man followed dressed in scrubs pulling along a blood pressure machine.

"Its nice to see you awake Mr. Stump it's quite a hit you took there." Patrick laughed lightly, slightly embarassed. "I am Dr. Alnacki, do you mind if we just double check your vitals now that you're awake?" Patrick nodded with a smile on his face. The man in scrubs crossed the room, placing the blood pressure cuff on Patrick's bicep before turning on the pump and placing the small pulse oximeter on the opposite hand.

"So, I have already spoken to your bandmates here and due to patient confidentiality and my own self respect none of the information regarding the real situation on stage will be shared. I offer this courtesy to all my patients not only by law but because I respect their wishes." Patrick nodded as the nurse finally released the cuff squeezing his arm and unclamped the oximeter.

"Thank you for that. I have a feeling you have something else to say." Patrick said, rubbing his arm where the cuff had tightened.

"I would like you to start taking medication for your condition, it won't specifically target your DID but it will help with some of the causes of the personalities. I would like to prescribe a low dose of Xanax, take it when you're feeling increasingly anxious it should help keep the more protective personas from responding to the distress. Also if you dont mind before you leave I would like to get a detailed description of your personalities." Dr. Alnacki explained.

" Um yea, yea sure that's no problem. Thank you doctor." He responds.

"Anyway, besides that your vitals are normal and by some miracle you dont have a concussion but take it slow for the next few days. You are free to be discharged right after your meeting with our psychiatrist." He smiles up at Patrick who returns it.

"Thank you." Dr. Alnacki nods before leaving the room with the nurse in tow.

"Well hopefully that will help." Pete says breaking the silence.

"Yea but the persona I want to keep at bay isn't the protective one." Patrick says frowning.

After a long visit with the psychiatrist and a trip to the pharmacy the four men were standing in the front foyer of the hospital, they knew there would be hordes of Paparazzi to greet them once they stepped out the door but nothing they weren't used to.

"Alright let's get it over with." Andy said with a long sigh, the others nodded before they all walked to the doors. As they exited the lights started flashing and the questions started being thrown, none of which were relevant enough to be answered. They quickly got into a car, after much pushing and shoving from security and themselves, Joe getting into the drivers seat, heading towards their tour bus.

After returning to their tour bus the four band mates decide to go out for something to eat, all of them being hungry after the whole ordeal with Vaughn.

"So Patrick if you don't mind my curiosity, do you only have the two personalities? Benzedrine and Vaughn, or are there more?" Andy asked curiously, pulling a black hoodie over his ginger hair.

"Um, honestly I'm not sure. I believe there is one more as there is an extra room in the little area where they stay but the door is always shut and they scratched out their name so I'm not sure what made them come about but I have never encountered them. If anyone else has they haven't shared." He explained, slipping on his jean jacket. Patrick was dressed nicely with black jeans, a jean jacket covering a dark gray shirt and a red scarf around his neck, his fedora sitting at an angle on top of his head.

"So where are we going?" Pete asks, still dressed in his concert clothes with the youngblood jacket over top of a black shirt and a flannel tied around his waist.

"I'm thinking somewhere casual." The rest of the group nods in agreement before they all set off.

The four found themselves at a small cafe a few blocks from the lake. The place was relatively small but the lack of lots of walls made it feel larger. Within only moments the group was seated and was skimming through the menu.

"So, I know you don't want to think about it Trick but, we all need to know. For the tour, do you think it is a good idea to continue?" Joe asks, rubbing the back of his neck uncomfortably.

"I don't want to cancel it, I've never needed to for this before and, I don't intend to now. He doesn't control me." This recieved a few worried looks from the band before being replaced by proud smiles.

"That's a great way of seeing things 'Trick." Andy placed a reassuring hand on Patrick's shoulder as he spoke, gaining a smile from Patrick.

"I don't know about you guys but I am starving." Pete announced suddenly followed by a chorus of agreement from the rest of the group before motioned to the waitress that they were ready to order.

~~~

After enjoying their meal, the band made their way back to the bus, where they all settled down for the night. Joe and Andy stayed in the front room to catch up on a few shows, while Pete and Patrick decided to call it a night and made their way to the bunks.

The two lay in total darkness for a while, the only sound being the muffled sounds of the television in the other room. Eventually Patrick broke that silence.

  "Pete?" Patrick whispered recieving a muffled groan from the mentioned. "You awake?"

  "Patrick, if I wasnt awake, why would I respond?" He responded, sounding slightly groggy. Patrick laughed lightly at this.

  "Pete, I just wanted to apolog-" Patrick started.

   "Don't" Pete interrupted firmly. "He is not you."

   "Okay." Patrick started simply.

   "Goodnight, Patrick"

   "Goodnight, Pete"
