IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

So, last chapter, chapter 28, I mentioned that I would be doing a time rewind thing. This chapter takes place about 1 month BEFORE the events of Chapter 27 and a month AFTER the events of PLAN B. I need to make that clear so that you understand! Next chapter we will be going back to chapter 27 and continuing there so that I don't confuse myself or the readers any further. Kay, hope you enjoy :')

3 weeks ago after the picnic

Thomas the Dank Engine

YOU TELL US THIS NOW?! ARE YOU KIDDING REMUS?

Coffee High

God dammit, you dumbass WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?

Goldfish in a condom

it didnt seem important enough to do so. I just thought maybe saying this would make you guys mad. Guess it worked ;P

Thomas the Dank Engine

So did it happen or no?!

Goldfish in a condom

Oh, it happened. To me.

Logan Sanders

Pardon, he confessed. To you?

That defeats the whole purpose of this, doesn't it?

Daddy Sanders

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WE'VE FAILLEDDDDD

Coffee High

This is messed up on so many levels

Slimy Boi

Ooo congrats, Remus, you can marry your brother~!

Logan Sanders

Correct me if I am wrong but I do believe that is illegal in the state of Florida.

Slimy Boi

oooh legal schmegal

it's true love!!

Goldfish in a condom

he thought i was sleeping and just after virgil left, he told the emo that he loved him. I think THAT defeats the purpose, lmfao, my brother is so dumb.

he also started crying, can you believe it? what a prince

Daddy Sanders

Did you help him?!! if he was crying he needs his brother! even a prince needs help sometimes!

Thomas the Dank Engine

Roman has been acting off lately. he hasn't been like, so confident? I haven't been feeling those creative spikes for a while. Thoughts and ideas will flow in occasionally but its been particularly rough. i hope he feels better soon. for his sake as well as mine, i have an important audition in a little over a month and i want to be in tip top shape

Daddy Sanders

I should go check on him!

Coffee High

Is that really the best option though?

Daddy Sanders

It's been 3 WEEKS since it happened!

Coffee High

exactly. he's probably over it and back to his usual self by now

Thomas the Dank Engine

I should also probably mention that I've been feeling a lot more anxious lately?

Slimy Boi

Are we reaching our climax?!

Goldfish in a condom

Climaaaaaaaaaaaax hehehehe

Coffee High

Gross.

also, thomas, you couldve mentioned this SOONER

What's your source of anxiety?

Thomas the Dank Engine

Virgil, you know this.

Coffee High

not that

Why are you anxious?

Thomas the Dank Engine

Ohhh, the lack of creativity? I can't concentrate or come up with any ideas. and the ideas i come up with, sometimes i just think, whether they are good enough?

Logan Sanders

I can speak with Virgil about this.

Thomas the Dank Engine

I don't think it's Virgil this time around.

Logan Sanders

You believe your source of anxiety is... Roman?

I suppose that could be a possibility but your main source of anxiety is, well, Anxiety. I don't see how it could be coming from Roman.

Coffee High

Let me check in with him. He'll talk to me, I'm sure of it.

Daddy Sanders

I'll talk to Roman!

Logan Sanders

Guess that's settled.

Thomas the Dank Engine

Tell me what you find, guys!

Slimy Boi

Patton's POV

After closing the chat, I ran over to Roman's room and within seconds, I'm in front of his door. I give it a patterned sequence of knocks and waited, impatiently, in front of the door. When Roman opened the door I gave him my big, signature smile. "HEY ROMAN!"

"Uh, hey Patton." He smiled back, greeting me with surprise lacing his words. "What's up?"

"Just wanted to check in, see how you're doing! Thomas says he's been feeling anxious lately and he thought it might've been coming from you?" Roman blinked in surprise at my statement and suddenly looked nervous, making me feel concern for the other side. "Are you alright?" I asked, a serious tone seeping through.

"I am doing great!" He gave me a big smile. "Thank you for asking, very kind. Do you want to come in? I was just working on Thomas' next video. Maybe you can help me brainstorm if you're not busy." he offered. I nodded excitedly and skipped past him into his room.

Everything looked normal. Papers were strewn about in a mess of ideas and creations, sketches and paragraphs upon paragraphs were everywhere. What caught my eye, however, was the unnerving amount of paper taking up space in his little trash. I didn't mention it but I noted it for later conversations.

"So, you needed help brainstorming?"

Remy's POV

I walked up to Virgil's room and knocked on it lightly. Not long after, I heard a muffled "come in" and the door unlock. I pushed the door open to find Virgil laying on his back, watching his phone on his bed. He seemed surprise to find me standing in the doorway.

"Wuzzup?" he asked, glancing in my direction. I could basically see the anxious thoughts whizzing through his head as if trying to figure out if there was a problem.

"Nothing much. Just wanted to see what was going on. Thomas has been feeling particularly anxious about recent ideas and stuff so I came to check in." Virgil frowned deeply at this.

"I guess I have been feeling a bit more anxious lately." he confessed, sitting up and looking on in interest.

"About what?" He looked like he wanted to laugh at my question.

"About everything, as usual." he rolled his eyes.

"Anything in particular pop out to you?" I tried again, raising a brow. He paused, his gaze turning from interest to suspicious.

"Why? What's going on? Is something wrong with Thomas?" He got up from his bed, stuffing his phone into the pocket of his hoodie and walked up to me. I nervously shifted and shook my head.

"No, nothing is wrong. Not much anyway."

"What is wrong?" he asked again.

I sighed. "Nothing, really. He's just been feeling anxious about his work and I wanted to check in, once again. I'm telling you the truth." He shook his head at me and muttered something under his breath.

"Work?" He paused for a few seconds. "I'll talk to Thomas about it later. It's probably just me worrying over stupid stuff again. Sorry." I almost felt bad. The dude completely just turned on himself like he did something wrong. How often did he do this to himself? He did it as if it was normal.

"No need. Take care, Virgil, sorry for bothering you." I apologized and gave him a little wave. He answered with a small smile and wave back. I conjure my typical, overly caffeinated, Starbucks coffee, took a sip and closed the door. Underneath my glasses, my eyebrows were furrowed and my eyes shone with concern and confusion.

Either it really is Roman is Virgil is lying to me.

Virgil's POV

Is that anxiety coming from me...? Normally I can tell but...
