Ian sits himself back down on the couch. He doesn’t have anything else to say now, not that I could blame him. Hell, if I was in his position I wouldn’t be nearly as forgiving as him. 

“So Anthony..” I hear Ian begin, as the bitterness in his voice is still obvious, “I have something to ask you.” My palms begin sweating again, I really pissed this poor guy off. I’m a fuck up though, I deserve every amount of anger he has towards me. “Go on.” I respond. He looks up and gives me a glare, “You clearly have your mind made up about your future, you’re going to marry Kalel and-” I have to stop him here. “Ian I don’t want to marry Kalel anymore..” His eyes widen, and his face softens, giving me the most confused, innocent look,” Wait? You’re kidding?” He asks me. I look down and shake my head. Memories of our marriage, all the bad times, all the alcohol induced fights, or the fights that didn’t even involve alcohol and just revolved around us not being right for eachother. Ian stands up and leans his eyes down trying to match my eyes, “Anthony? What’s with the sudden change of heart? I mean you guys clearly love each other? Right?” I didn’t want to think about her to much, especially now. I am here to just focus on Ian, yet I don’t want to leave Kalel behind either. She doesn’t deserve that. But her and I just aren’t meant to be. I feel Ian and I are though. I feel a tear begin to come out of my eye. Ian’s eyes grow wider and he begins to try to comfort me. Before he can, I direct my eyes away from Ian’s. I can’t tell him the truth? Hah, yeah, tell Ian that you were sent back in time by some weird reflection demon and expect him to believe you. I think to myself.

“Hey! Who ya callin weird!?” I hear that voice again behind me. I turn around to see once again, Ian frozen, with Reflection staring into me, with that stupid smirk. The sight makes me jump at first, followed by me just sighing, “Please don’t tell me this is going to be a reoccuring thing?” Reflection begins chuckling maniacally again, rubbing his hands through my hair, “Stop it!” I swat him away from me like a giant fly, “What the hell do you want!?” Reflection starts shaking his head, “Tsk tsk tsk. Better watch that attitude of yours kid. That’s what got you into trouble in the first place.” I shake my head in annoyance, “Just...hurry up please.” Reflection begins walking around me in circles again, “I couldn’t help but notice that you’re playing the pity card with Ian...am I wrong?” Reflection asks. I speak my mind, “What!? No! He was asking me about my marriage and I-” He begins to laugh, and stops in a heartbeat. It’s like he can randomly turn his different emotions on and off with a switch of a button. “Boohoo! I’m Anthony! I Had a marriage that went to hell so I drank away my pain! Boo hoo! SUCK IT UP!” I put my hand over my ears. His yell is louder than anything I’ve ever heard before.

After I recover from only nearly going deaf, I defend myself. “I am not feeling sorry for myself if that’s what you’re thinking! If anything, I couldn’t be happier about this opportunity you gave me!” Reflection raises one eyebrow, “Oh really?” I nod, “Yes, really! If anything you’re an angel, not a demon! And you know why!? You’re giving me the chance to be in love and live a happy life, so go ahead and keep trying to scare me, but it won’t work! We’re gonna be together forever...forever and always. Just you watch!” I yell towards him. His smirk is still on his face, “You’re a cocky one!” He slowly walks up to me and punches me in the gut. “You just better not get too cocky...you never know what’s around the corner for you and Ian. I suggest you start doing this right.” I groan out in pain, “Maybe if you just went away for more than 5 minutes I will!” He unemotionally chuckles, “Alright, I’ll leave you alone for a little while.” He begins to fade away into the abyss, “But I’ll be watching you. Can’t wait to see you fuck up!” He finally fully fades away, and time starts again. I forget Ian notices me holding onto my stomach until he runs over to me, “Anthony what the fuck!? Where did that come from!?” He asks me. I have to think of something made up quick, Ian can’t know. “I don’t know, I just think I ate something really bad is all...I don’t know it feels like a cramp or something..” Now i sound like one of those women on those period commercials. Oh well, at least it sounds better than A reflection demon came in and punched me in the gut. I giggle to myself with that thought. “Come on, I’ll lay you down.” Ian says. I put my arm around his neck as I lay down onto the couch. Ian covers me up with a blanket, “There you go..” He says, trying to keep a comforting tone. “I’ll get you some medication or something..” He says, as he leaves. “Ian, wait..” I say, with the pain starting to subside. He looks over his shoulder, “What?” He asks. A smile creeps up on my face once again at that cute face of his, “Thank you for coming back..” I say. Ian nods his head. “Sure.” he says, sounding almost emotionless. As he turns his head, I even notice a bit of a half smile on his face. Score! I think to myself.

As long as things keep going the way they are now, everything will go great, and we will truly live till we’re old and gray.
