(Warning: swearing, anxiety attacks, mentions of drugs)

(Third person)
Anxiety limped for days, only stopping to rest every now and then. He started wishing he was with Creativity and the others, wondering why he was in so much pain. On the verge of giving up, he looked up and saw a town in the distance.

The emo started to run, ignoring the pain in his body as tears slipped down his dirty face. Just as he was about outside the town, he tripped on a rock and fell. A memory flashed throigh his head, but it didn't seem like his own.

~memory~

Roman nodded, the two continuing to talk. "Well, people know me as the 'hot emo who lead people on', but to be honest... I just havnt found the right guy." Virgil said on his turn, staring down at his feet. Roman smiled softly. "You'll find him. Who knows... He could be right infront of you and you wouldn't even know it" the princely boy said encouragingly. "I guess" Virgil said with a shrug.

~end~

Anxiety groaned, rubbing his head. 'What was that?' He thought. 'That looked like Creativity, but... It wasn't..'
He shook his head and got up, finishing the rest of the way. He quickly ducked into an alleyway when a couple of police cars passed him, leaving the town. He shrugged and continued on, now walking through neighborhoods to look for Thomas's apartment.

He got to one particular street where he stepped on a paper. He leant down and picked it up, examining the news paper. The cover read "Missing man: Virgil Anx." He tilted his head slightly, remembering the vision he had earlier. "Is this... Me?" He asked aloud, not noticing the footsteps behind him. "Are you alright?" A voice asked, scaring the living shit out of Anxiety. He started panicking, entangling his hands in his already knotted hair. "Hey, hey! No need to panic. Would you like to come inside?" The person gestured to a house where two others stood in the doorway. He relaxed slightly and nodded, pocketing the paper and following the person inside.

"Im JayisJo, that's jahmahl, and that's Dariana. We have a few others coming over later." Jay explained with a calm smile. "Yo dude. What happened to you? You look awful" Jahmal asked, gesturing to his body. "I uh... I don't know for sure. Im uh... Anxiety." The emo explained quietly. "Alright well. Lets get you cleaned up. You can shower in the bathroom over there while we wash your clothes." Dariana said kindly, leading him to the bathroom. Anxiety thanked all of them and went into the bathroom. He started the water and stripped, leaving the filthy clothes outside the bathroom door before getting in.

He closed his eyes, letting the warm water hit his face. He sat down carefully, relaxing. He started to dose off, the warmth of the water lulling the anxious boy to sleep.

~dream~

I have a question for you" the Jock glanced over at Virgil, stopping in his tracks. Virgil hummed in return whilst stopping as well. "Will you go to prom with me?" Roman asked with a smile. Virgil, completely caught by surprise, blushed harshly before nodding. The pair smiled and hugged.

Virgil pulled away after a few seconds and looked Roman in the eyes. "Will you be my boyfriend?" It was Roman's turn to blush, nodding with a large smile on his face. Virgil smiled just as wide, pulling his newly found boyfriend in for a kiss. The two broke apart before continueing their way to Virgil's house with large smiles on their faces.

~end~

Anxiety was woken up by a knock on the door. "You alright in there? Your clothes are clean." Jay called through the door. "Uh.. Yeah, just rinsing." He quickly washed his hair and turned off the water, climbing out. "Alright! There should be a towel in there, your clothes are outside the door." Jay said before leaving. The emo wrapped the towel around his waist and opened the door, grabbing his clothes and closing it again. The newspaper sat on top of the stack of clothing. Anxiety sighed and looked in the mirror. He had a black eye and cuts and bruises all over his body. "What happened?" He asked aloud, rubbing his neck and ending up finding the many injection spots from the drugs. "Huh" he started getting dressed in his attire, slipping on his grey plaid hoodie. He slipped the newspaper back in his pocket and left the steamy bathroom.

He was met with a few new faces when he entered the living room. "Hi Anxiety, this is Camden, Foti, and Leo." Jahmal introduced. "Hey. You look familiar" Camden said, tilting his head slightly. "No way! Guys, that's Virgil Anx. The missing guy in the paper!" The room froze and went quiet. "I... Am?"
