Anxiety: A Short Story

Anxiety has always been disliked by the other sides and Thomas himself; they couldn't stand him. He's the outcast, the black sheep of the group. Hatred and rejection from everybody around him are all he felt throughout his existence (Except for Patton, he is too adorable and kind to hurt his precious dark son.). Pretending he wasn't hurt by the awful words, they tell him, Anxiety begins to block everyone out. Now, he can't trust anyone. Anxiety has always hidden his inner feelings in fear that one of the other sides would find out how he actually feels on the inside, and about his coping method for his constant suffering.

He begins to hide in his room more often. For days, he wouldn't leave his room, only coming out if he was summoned to a video or the occasional grabbing a few snacks. The other sides begin taking notice, but just saw it as Anxiety being his usual unsocial self.

One day, Prince goes to check on him, only to find out one of the Anxiety's secrets by mistake.
Will he try helping him? Or cause more pain to him?

*Warning*: mentions of panic attacks, suicidal thoughts, and a suicidal attempt.

(This is my first time writing fan-fiction ever. I would like to say sorry for my bad grammar and writing skills before starting the story. I really hope you
