Poor Unfortunate Sea

Chapter 22: The One In The Mirror

Hayden's POV

"This has to stop, I have more important things to do then to worry about you every second." I throw my bag onto the bed not taking my eyes off the mirror with Heidi looking back at me. "That is easier said than done Hayden." Heidi comments crossing her arms over her chest. I roll my eyes at the reflection out of annoyance. "Look I know in the past that we have always taken care of each other, but that is over now, and I am trying to help both of us." Heidi looks at me in disbelief and scoffs at me. "You care about no one but yourself, and you have proofed that with the drama you have started with both Herkie and Pearl and Cory and Laurel." I smile upon hearing how much trouble little me could cause in such a short time. "That was necessary at the time, and if you want to compare records your record is just as long as mine." Heidi eyes flashes with guilt and I soon find myself going off on my other half. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW!" I yell at weak girl standing in the mirror. "YOU FEEL GUILTY OVER THE THINGS YOU HAVE DONE!" Heidi regains her composer and stares a dark stare at me. "No, but over the years I have changed, and the things I have done are nothing compared to what you have done." I let out a dark laugh at the mirror. "How about the time you messed with Zevon's chemicals in chemistry class and ended up blaming Zevon for blowing up the school? Or the time you pitted Gaston JR against Gaston the Third by saying the other one was sleeping with the brother's girlfriend? You know that you are the reason that Chelsea Cheshire is the way she is, and it is all because of that rumor you started about her spending all her time after school in the guy's locker room. Those are only a few things on your record, and that is only your record on the isle not your record here in Auradon." Heidi fidgets with her jacket with a lousy look on her face. "I did horrible things and I admit it, but you are the farthest thing from a saint yourself." I smile a satisfied smile nodding my head. "I know who I am, I know what I have done, and I don't apologize for one tiny thing I have ever done because in the end it has gotten the two of this far. Sure sometimes I thought of myself instead of you, but I can only take so much of your life before I need a break." Heidi just looks at me seeming surprised that I am not ashamed of the fun I have had. "People on the isle think that the stuff you did was me, and because of that it has done more harm than good." I roll my eyes getting tired of hearing Heidi complain about how her life is so unfair. "No one really changes Heidi; A villain will always be a villain and a hero will always be a hero." Heidi shakes her head disagreeing with me. "I have seen heroes turn into villains, and I have seen villains turn into heroes." I take a slow step towards the mirror, "You are so blind, there is more to all of this then anyone could dream of." Heidi looks at me with a curious face. "What do you mean by that?" I can't believe that I let myself slip like that. "It means that there are things at work that are beyond Ben's handling, and soon it will come for everyone, Auradon and Isle alike." Heidi is about to say something but I cut her off before she can get another word out. "You need to go back and let me finish up things here." Heidi looks at me like I am crazy, and it is a look that I have to enjoy. "I am pretty sure that is not how this works." I look at her with an evil glare. "Listen up princess, I have had your back more times then I care to count, and the truth is that you still need me but in my world, you are nothing more than unneeded baggage." Heidi shakes her head at me, "This has to stop, I want my life back." I start laughing after hearing those words come out of her mouth. "Why, so you can go running back to Harry who has been cheating on you do who know how long, and most likely knocked up the girl that helped put your father on the Isle? I am the one that been there for you, not your brother who by the way never seemed to notice that something was wrong with you your entire life, or Harry who would rather spend his time playing pirate and sticking his sword where it doesn't belong. I help so you can be happy, and now that you got your happiness it is my turn." Heidi smiles at me as she pushes her hair to one side. "You can't live on your own anymore then I can." I throw my hands up in the air not understanding what Heidi is not getting through her head. "Like you can now?" I ask gesturing to the mess that is in the mirror. "I have to try, you are trying to destroy me, I have too much to live for to let that happen." I let out a deep sigh knowing that if I am going to stay in control Heidi will need to hear about my plan. "I wouldn't worry about that, I have found a way around that." Heidi looks at me bewildered. "You're up to something, and it has something to do with Dr. Facilier and Mr. Hyde." I just run my fingers through my hair brushing it out the best I can. "That is a conversation for a later time, and as for right now just shut up and let me do what I do best." I force my eyes closed and when I open my eyes again Heidi is gone. "Finally." I say letting out a breath of relief. "I can't believe that you had fooled this entire time, and I must say that your Heidi impression is getting more and more spot on." I turn to see Ben standing in the doorway. "Looks like I'm busted, and Heidi's beasty boy is the one who caught me, oh the ironies of that." I say turning full around as Ben and I come face to face for the first time.
