I've been scrolling through Ally's messages with this Willow person and they're extremely cryptic. You would think the conversations were random and all over the place but it was obvious they were planning something, I just had to figure out what exactly. Suddenly a text from a random number appears at the top of the screen, I heard the voice in the back of my head telling me I shouldn't look at it.

S- I shouldn't look through her messages like this.... but how else will I know what she's doing?

I allowed my thumb to hover over the dimly lit screen, I stared heavily contemplating what to do next.

S- If I do this I could see something I won't like. I could be ruining my trust with Ally.

Suddenly my conscience kicked in as loudly as it could.

You're already reading one of her messages seems like the trust is already ruined.

But that couldn't be true I still trust her.... right?

S- I love her. I gave her all my trust the moment I said 'I do.'

Then what are you doing?

What am I doing? I need to quit while I'm ahead, I need to put down the phone act like I never looked in it. I need to stop.

You say that but you're still holding the phone.

As I was about to toss the phone a safe distance away from me, the devil within me kicked itself into my subconscious.

So you're just going to give up finding the truth because you have "morals" all of a sudden??

S- This is wrong. I shouldn't invade her personal conversations like thi-

Who cares?! She won't give you answers, and you can't keep talking to a brick wall for the rest of your life.

S- Yes, but she-

SHE deprived YOU of a normal relationship the moment she returned to this house!

S- No she didn't!

I hated to admit it but what if that voice was right? I didn't do this she did, she's the one who constantly ignores me. She's the one that won't give me what I need. She is the reason I feel empty and broken beyond repair, and I need to know why she's doing this. I could feel the anger and resentment in me get stronger by the second, which caused my inner devil to get louder.

You know I'm right, you know that I'm giving you every valid reason you need to search her phone from texts to coding. All you have to do is keep snooping, who knows how much time we have left?

I take a moment to try and sort out my pros and cons of the situation, I needed to get my mind right before I acted on impulse. Before I could decide anything though my inner voices began arguing causing me to lose my train of thought.

What if you do this and you're right? You find exactly what you think you're looking for and its worse than you thought it was originally? How will you see Ally then? Will you still be able to look her in the eye?
