i can't stop replaying it in my head.

"i also wanted to tell you that i love you."

my heart is in my throat. my entire body feels like it's floating.

"i fell in love with you long before i had to guts to tell you."

i get up and start pacing back and forth in my room. i can't sit still. my mind is racing, so my feet might as well be, too.

"i insisted that i could never, ever fall in love with you. what a pitiful attempt at a lie that was."

i chew my fingernails anxiously. he meant everything he's been saying to me. he's meant it for a long time. he meant what he said at the panel, he meant what he said to my mother, he meant what he said in the ballroom.

i sit back down then stand immediately back up. i change into pajamas and wash off my makeup. i throw the pillow that has makeup smudged on it onto the floor as i sit on my bed, just to instantly bounce back up once again.

i can't sit still.

nothing is still. not my mind, not my body, not even the environment outside, the raindrops hitting my window being a constant reminder of that.

so i continue to pace around my room, randomly stopping to stare at myself in the mirror or stare at the glass of water by my bed. i don't touch it, even though my throat is dry and my head is pounding. i don't want to mess up one of the only things he left behind.

do i wish he had stayed? no. because then i would've had to continue pretending to be asleep. and i don't think i could've done that. which would have resulted in a very awkward conversation-

oh shit. we're gonna have to talk about this at some point.

i sit down on my bed, my hand clutching my racing heart. how am i supposed to act around sapnap now? i can't just tell him that i know about what he said- he isn't ready to tell me to my face yet. nor do i think i even know how to reply right now.

i guess it is nice having this sentiment. knowing that someone, let alone him, loves me.

it's also nice knowing that i can rub this in his face eventually and make fun of how he broke the rules.

then again, i definitely i did too, didn't I?
