Imagine #106: Split (Part 4)

"Hey, thanks for letting me stay for the day. Y/N hasn't been sleeping since this disorder of mine came up, she's worried about me all times. I think this is the only time she'll be resting soundly." Patrick told his best friend, Pete, while they are at his house.

"No problem, dude. Besides, I'm honored that Y/N can trust me in looking after you." Pete answered. "Come on, you can do this. Eventually it will go away." He continued with a hopeful undertone.

"Yeah. I wish. I'm putting her in danger and I know soon I'll be putting you all in danger and I really don't want that to happen." Patrick said worriedly.

"We'll always be here to help you, Trick. But first of all, what is it? What's bothering you? It says that it's your anxiety that triggers this alter. You've already pushed through that  why is it back?" Pete asked his friend and Patrick had no choice but to open up, besides, it's Pete he's talking to.

It's not that he doesn't want to tell it to you, but everything you ask him, he'll just change the topic and then there were times his alter appears when that topic is brought up. It really bothered you, you are thinking that you were the problem, that's why you asked Pete to ask his friend and now you're listening to them on the other line since Pete called you and didn't hung up.

"I'm scared, Pete. It's about Y/N and I don't know what to do." Patrick said in frustration and your heartbeat is now going fast.

"What? Is there a problem between you and Y/N?" Pete asked.

"No. Its not about us...or her. It's me, I'm scared and afraid. --

"Patrick, I don't understand what you're saying." Pete stated.

"God knows how I've been dying to marry this girl, Y/N, and I'm scared that I'll get rejected again! You knew what happened with El. It broke me, I was traumatized there, Pete. I gave her my all and she rejected me saying that I was not good for her! That left a scar to me, Pete." Patrick explained and his tone really sound so helpless. "Now thay I found Y/N, I wanted her to stay with me till the end but everytime I think to propose to her, this fear eats me! My anxiety is rising, I'm nervous and I'm a mess. I couldn't even bring myself to propose to the love of my life! But then this happened and now I know this will change the way Y/N looks at me. I'm putting her in pain." Patrick continued and all you wanted to do is run towards him and hug him.

You also noticed your tears falling from your eyes. He's such a sweet guy and you can't believe that this is what's been bothering him. His need to be with you is causing this.

"Patrick. Y/N is different, she loves you so much and I'm sure she is not like El. Look, she's still here for you even with what's been happening the last few weeks. If she's tired, she would have already left you!" Pete cheered him up and he Patrick just looked at him.

"I really hope you're right, Pete. Really, thank you for being here." Patrick said, sadly smiling at his friend.

"Oh come on, that's what PeteRick is for." Pete joke and finally making his friend chuckle. "Let me just get some food, make yourself at home." Pete said then walking away from the living room.

"Thank you very much, Pete." You told him as he talked to you on the phone.

"I'll help you propose for the little guy." Pete said, already knowing what's happening in your head.

"Course, you will. Keep an eye on him for the day, okay?" You said.

"Sure thing. Take care, Y/N." Pete said and you both hung up.

Now all you have to do is plan this proposal. It's win-win situation too, you'll be engaged to the person you want to spend your life with and also curing this disorder of his...hopefully.

-------------

You've actually decided not to rest all day and plan the moment when you'll be proposing to him and to be honest with yourself, you enjoyed it. You really wanted to help him ease this feeling he is having and you're sure that it will really help him.

It was night already and you suddenly heard your phone rang.

"Patrick?" I asked.

"Hey, princess. I'll be driving home now. How are you?" He asked.

"Better! Can't wait to see you, angel. Take care, okay?" I told him.

"Course, love you." He said sweetly.

"Love you too, Patrick." You murmured and hung up.

After that, you just hid all those things you did to surprise him tomorrow and went in to cook dinner for the both of you. It has been forty minutes since he called and its been worrying you already and the moment you heard your phone rang again, you almost jumped.

"Y/N, its Pete. You have to come here fast. I-it's Patrick car, it c-crashed." Pete said while stuttering.

"W-what? I-is he...he's okay, right?!" You asked in panic, already grabbing your jacket and keys.

"I-it's worse than you're thinking, Y/N. He's nowhere to be found, not in the car, not around the area...he also left all his personal belongings behind." Pete said and you couldn't agree more to him that this is worse than you thought.
