prologue

I was sitting still on the couch. Eyes and ears wide open, alert to any signal of her approach. She'll be here any minute now. Am I ready to do this? Conversing with myself seemed inevitable. Yes, you are, my subconscious answered. She might not trust me, hell if she even listens to me. I was growing more nervous with every passing second. I don't think I'm able to put myself, or her, through all of this. The voice from the back of my head spoke again: You will, you've been preparing yourself for this moment. True. Everything was ready so there was no reason for it to go badly. I can't afford the consequences of this turning up the wrong way. I sigh and shut my eyes before burying them further in my head with the help of my hands -my first physical change in the last few minutes. Why am I weakening all of a sudden? I asked myself being interrupted by my inner self. Stick to the plan and it'll be just fine. That's what I have to do and she has to play along. If not, everything will explode in our faces and happiness won't even be a possibility for neither of us. A noise outside put me out of my inner battle making me hop up from my spot and turn to the window, finding my reflexion in it instead of the darkened outside.

"Help" I made of a very low voice, sounded almost like a whispering scream.

I run outside to see an out of breath girl vented over with her hands in her knees. Fear invaded my whole body: every muscle and vein and bone. Fear was literally everywhere inside of me. That's her I'm pointed out by my subconscious as if I hadn't realized already.
