Addie's POV:

"And I agreed to spy on us," I told Erik, Katelyn, and (Y/N).

"Why would you do that?" (Y/N) asked me.

"That's how Jeanne is," I told her, "all she wants it to be set free."

"Where did you come up with that rubbish anyway?" (Y/N) asked.

"A romance film called Ghost," I said.

"You should know that film is complete bullshit," (Y/N) said putting a 50p in the swear jar.

"You never know," I said.

"Did he say anything else?" Erik asked changing the subject.

"I asked him what makes me so interesting to him," I told him.

"And what did he say?" Katelyn asked.

"He told me what he thought of my looks, the smell of my hair and I just told him that I was taken but he still wants to be with me," I said.

"But he promised Jeanne that he would set her free," Katelyn said, "he can't break that promise."

"He can" (Y/N) said, "he can do what he wants, that includes not setting Jeanne free."

"We'll just have to wait and find out," Erik said.

"What should I tell him when I see him again?" I asked.

"Tell him that Katelyn and (Y/N) are here, about us moving if he doesn't already know and some things that happen in between now and the next time to see him," Erik told me.

"Okay," I said.

"Come on Addie," Katelyn said standing up, "let's get you out of that prosthetic."

I just nodded and followed her to the other room.

(Time skip)

When we got the prosthetic off, I took a long shower to try to get any access makeup off. I have a feeling this is going to become a regular thing until Milo moves on from me. I got into my pyjamas and went to bed where Erik was already asleep. I couldn't blame him, it was quite late at night. I climbed into bed and snuggled next to him falling asleep.

(Time skip)

I woke up before Erik the next morning so I started to listen to some songs on my phone, with my earphones in, and went into the main room. While I was listening to my music, I was thinking about recent events. Am I doing the right thing helping Milo spy on us? This feels wrong. I don't want my nightmare to come true but I feel that if I don't do this, it will come true.

Me:
Twisted every way
What answer can I give?

I took out my earphones and looked at the gate on the other side of the lake.

I know I can't refuse
And yet
I wish I could
Oh God-

I hugged myself like my life depended on it. I can't handle this kind of stress. I'm scared that Milo might actually be capable of the things in my dream. I know I probably shouldn't worry about these things but it just scares me.

"Are you alright Addie?" Katelyn asked.

I looked over to her and said, "I need your help."

"What do you need help with?" She asked.

"I need you to help me with my dress and prosthetic," I said standing up.

"Why?" She asked.

"I'm visiting Milo now," I told her.
