Confessions I Didn't Want (Part 1)

It was bad. More than bad actually. It was gut wrenching to figure out what to do now. If I could go back in time and make him shut his mouth I would. 

I can't though.

For some reason, he decided years into the Safe Haven was the time to confess that his role was more than he would have ever admitted. Not only did he know about the trials, he had never lost his memories. From the beginning, it was all a trap.

Even when I asked him to stop talking he just kept going on and on. Even though the rage seemed to have filled my head to the point where I tuned out the words, each syllable made my blood boil.

“Shut up!”I finally snapped, pushing him back. Staring at me with wide eyes, he just took several breaths as I glared at him. “Why the hell is it now when you tell me? We were fine. We were amazing just a few minutes ago. What the hell? Why would you ruin that?”

“I’m-I’m sorry. I just-I had to tell someone, and I thought you would understand. I thought you would know what to say.”

“What do you want me to say, Aris? What the hell am I supposed to say to that? That it's all okay? That it's totally fine that you were completely involved in them from the start and lied about it for years? What am I supposed to tell you?”

“I don't know. I just needed someone to know, and I thought that it would be you,”He whispered.

“I can't just-you can't just drop that all on me and expect me to be calm. That's not fair.”

“I’m sorry. I just needed someone to know, and I just-it just had to be you.”

“I just can't do this right now. I’m going to sleep on the couch.”

“Y/N-”
“I just need some space right now, okay? I’ll see you in the morning,”I promised, grabbing a blanket.

“I love you,”He whispered as I walked past him.

“Yeah. Love you too,”I mumbled, keeping my head down as I went to act as though I could sleep this off.
