*Aurora's POV*

When the food came, I decided to ask Zayn some burning questions. I was wondering if this was all a huge setup.

"Zayn, did the Council set you up? You know, to recruit me?" I tried to make it seem like a normal question. The pizza in my hand was my main priority.

"Umm... Yeah, bu-"

"So, everything that happened was like one big act." I stared him in the eyes, letting him know I was serious, "You were pretending."

He put down the pizza slice to focus on me. He should just tell me the truth.

"No- I can expl-"

"You don't need to explain." I said it a little louder than I should've.

I was upset. All along I was thinking that Zayn actually did care. I was slowly falling in love with someone who was faking it.

"I understand now." I nodded slightly, "I know that I can't stay away from the Council. I'll dream for you, but that's it."

"Wait. I w-"

"You know, for a while, I thought you actually cared about me." I stated as I stood up to leave, "I'm a fool for falling into your trap."

I left the pizza joint.

I'm not going to lie, I actually had feelings for Zayn. But, does it make sense to love someone who probably didn't love you back? Just imagine, everything that happened- all the memories and conversations- was fake. If I knew then what I know now......
