Why doesn't she like me?

Am I too ugly?

Am I too fat?

Am I not good enough?

Of course you're not good enough.

No one will ever like you.

Why would you think that?

I wasn't sure.

I'd got way too far into my head.

Did you actually believe that she'd like you back?

A sickening laugh erupted in my mind, and I shivered inwardly.

This wasn't the Grey I knew.

Something was different with them.

They weren't usually... like this.

Stop blaming me.

I'm you.

Have you ever considered it's you who has changed?

You've gone bad.

No I haven't.

Get out of my head.

Leave me alone.

I told you. I'm you. I can't leave.

You know this.

Why are you trying to push me out?

I got rid of you before. I can do it again.

You suppressed me with medication and therapy.

I was still there.

Another cold laugh.

You're insane, you know that?

Talking to yourself. Telling yourself to go away.

Shut up.

You're still doing it!

Look at you!

Get.

A.

Grip.

I jumped as I was tapped on the shoulder, pulling me out of my head and back into Emma's room.

She sat next to me, holding her whiteboard up for me to see.

Dan, I'm... gay.

Oh.

That's why she didn't like you back.
