Arguments In My Head

Today was like any other day. Uk woke up early got his tea and sat down to watch the news. It was like this everyday. It is stressful to be a country there is always something to worry about. Always someone causing you problems. So Uk liked to enjoy quiet moments like this while he could, except, he couldn't.

Uk heard shouting in his ears and it wouldn't go away. A constant battle of harsh words screaming in his head. It made him feel nauseous and tired. He'd end up on the bathroom floor throwing up a black liquid, very unpleasant. He knew why but he didn't want to admit it, didn't want to tell anyone. He had never been one to share his emotions.

He shoved these thoughts deep down inside him trying to ignore the bickering and focus on the news. He sighed. More Brexit reports. It is never going to end is it? This just made Uk feel sicker and the shouting louder. He closed his eyes and tried to focus on what they were saying.

"I'm fed up of your bu-"
"There are kids in here as well"
"Im fed up of your crap England!" said a man in a deep Scottish accent.
Uk guessed straight away that it was Scotland and England at the brunt of the fighting, In His head. They've been fighting over Brexit and Scotland wanting independence, although I would never let him have his independence he still rages on about it.
"You have no one to blame but yourself Scotland!"
"I do have someone else to blame...You!"
"Please stop fighting!" A quieter and younger voice pleaded "your tearing this family apart!" The voice was right they are tearing this family apart they're tearing me apart. The small country started crying.
"No, no, no please don't cry Wales we'll stop fighting now, right, England?" Scotland said a hint of hatred in his voice when he said England's name.
"Right, Scotland" England replied.

A tap on the shoulder made Uk jump and almost spill his tea, which by now would be quite cold.
"France, you scared the living daylight out of me." Uk said catching his breath and relaxing again.
"Sorry , Britain, you had your hands over your ears and were muttering stuff to yourself with your eyes closed.... I was worried for you." France said a concerned look on her face
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you panic it was just...it was just..."
"The voices?"
"Yes, they were fighting again... I don't know how much more I can take France they get worse every day I don't want it to get to a point where... I won't..." Britain struggled to find the right words "Where I want exist anymore I'll only exist in history books and I don't want that I want to watch my family grow and I want to look after my people France... I'm so lost I don't know what to do" tears began to swell in Britain's eyes at the last part. He, however, refused to let any roll down his face as it showed weakness and he didn't like showing that, not even with family.

"Mon amour, it's okay we'll figure this out but you'll have to except that you might not be here forever and need to spend time with your family" France replied she obviously didn't want to say this but it was better to tell the truth than to lie and say Britain will always be fine and that he'll always be with his family because that's not the case.
"Your right France," Britain looked up and smiled at France "You always are, aren't you? Well how about we set up a family dinner to discuss this with everyone?" Britain sounded confident about this but was really nervous and thought he should write a speech for the dinner so he knows what to say yeah that's a good plan, Britain. Britain wasn't entirely sure if he or another country in his head said that it can get confusing sometimes.
"Bonne idée mon amour!" France smiles enthusiastically at Britain and then hugs him
"I'll go call our sons and make sure they all can make it" France said.
Britain looked a bit confused at this
"they're getting older sugar they have their own plans at the end of the day."
"Oh, ok... I'll be in my office if you need me" Britain started to head to his office then quickly turned to France "Thank you my Dear you always know what to do and are full of bright ideas." Britain said as a last minute thank you
"Je sais, Je t'aime aussi" France said back to Britain with a smile. Then flicked her hand signalling him to go as she picked up the phone and dialled Canada's number.

Lets get started then Uk said to himself as he shut the office door.
