"So, you're sure it's not a personality disorder, but more like possession?.."

"Yes, do you believe me?.."

So that whole time it wasn't him.
It was someone else.
Someone else kissed me.
Someone else whispered sweet nothings in my ear?
And the funny part is,
I believe it.

"Yes. I do. But I think I just need some time.."
I got up from the booth and felt his hand tug on my sleeve.

"Wait, just know, to tell us apart, look into my eyes. You'll know when it's not me"

I nodded without saying a word. I had very mixed feelings.
Sadness.
Hate.
Betrayal.
Anger.
One emotion after another.
I walked out of the diner and ran to my apartment. When I closed my door, I leaned against it. Looking down and the ground for a good, 15 minutes.
"Why couldn't he have told me sooner"
I whispered.
"Why did he have to keep it from me?"

That's when it hit me.
I knew why I was emotional.
It's because he didn't trust me.
He didn't want to tell me.
I started to cry, and slowly crept to my bed. I face planted and silently screamed into my pillows.
That's when I got a message.

I reached my phone from my coat pocket and read the screen.

New Message: Black♡

I swiped and opened it.

"Hey, (y/n). Listen. I'm sorry if I made you upset. I know I should've told you sooner. I was just scared that you would leave me, thinking that I was either lying or because of the weird situation. You don't have to stay with me. It might put you in danger, so I understand. But if you want to accept me, then maybe we could have dinner in my room? I love you, I'm sorry."

You sighed.
He was really trying.
He really does love you.
You replied with the OK to come over.

But there was one thought that never crossed your mind.

Did William really text you?
Or was it..
