Not Easy Being Me

Not Easy Being Me: part 28

Wilford, Celine, and Damien were sitting at the foot of Wilford's bed, all three of them talking to each other. Anti and Marvin were at the table, listening in on the conversation while Marvin read through his spells.

"How... How did this happen?" Wilford asked, looking from each twin. "How did you two get... Caught up in this situation?"

"We were pushed out of our bodies." Celine began, casting her eyes to the ground. "We were pushed into the upside-down... My body was taken and Actor took Damien's body, leaving us with his broken one."

"The was no way of getting out... Unless we took the D.A.'s body."

"Believe us Wil. He had every intention of bringing the D.A. with us we really did... But..."

"Dark... He got in the way." Damien sighed, looking down at the ground, twisting the cane.

Wilford remained quiet staring at them in shock, listening as they spoke.

"We didn't even know he was there until it was too late." Celine sighed turning to Damien. "We thought that... We were in control, but it was all him."

"Dark took over the last second and pushed the D.A. out... He only needed us to keep the body together."

Wilford let out a sigh, looking down at the ground. "I'm so sorry guys," he whispered, taking their hands into his own.

They both just smiled, squeezing his hands, Celine being the first to speak. "It's alright Wil. It's not all bad... He brought us to you."

"No. He kept me from you guys." Wilford said coldly, casting his eyes to the ground shaking his head. "He lied saying you were gone so that he could use me."

"Wil, none of that is true." Damien protested sitting down next to him.

"He said so himself!" Wilford snapped turning to Damien. "He said he didn't care! He... He-."

"Wil," Celine whispered holding the side of his face with her hand. "It may have been true at one point... But not now. It's not true, and I know you know that."

A few tears streamed down Wilford's cheek, as he held her hand close. "Then... Wh-Why didn't he tell me?"

"He was just scared." Damien began, placing a hand on his shoulder. "... We were scared."

"He was just afraid that you would resent him for it," Celine explained, wiping his tears away. "He did want to tell you... He just wasn't ready."

"And he didn't know what would have been the best approach."

Wilford remained quiet, lowering his head, but he felt as Celine lifted it back up, looking into his eyes with a sad smile.

"He truly cares about you, dear. Dark has changed a whole lot over the years." Celine whispered.

"Trust us. The Dark we knew back then wouldn't have been so broken-hearted as he is now." Damien began casting his eyes to the ground. "He was so... Cold and callous, he didn't care about anything."

Wilford blinked, turning to Damien. "So... What made him change?"

They both just smiled, looking at Wilford. "It was you."

The once pink ego blinked in surprise. "Me?"

"It was you that showed him what friendship was. You broke through his cold nature. You made him change for the better." Celine whispered rubbing his shoulder.

Wilford thought for a moment, beginning to remember all the good times he and Dark shared. He then sighed, covering his face, mentally kicking himself for treating him so harshly. "What have I done?... He must be so broken right now I... I got to fix this."

"Fucking finally." Anti groaned resting his head on the table receiving an eye roll from both Marvin and Celine.

"What time does the show end?" Wilford questioned, looking up at Marvin.

"Uh, maybe an hour?" Marvin shrugged. "It really depends."

"Okay... Okay after the show I'll... I'll see him... I... I got to fix this." Wilford whispered.

"I uh hate to inform you but... We don't have much time in this plain." Damien began looking down at his hand that was beginning to fade. "We have to head back soon."

Wilford looked from him to Celine, taking her hands into his own, giving them a light kiss. "I wish... I just wish we had more time."

Celine smiled, holding his hands tightly. "So do I Wil." she sighed, before looking back up at him. "And I also wish that you didn't look like my brother right now."

Wilford just chuckled shaking his head. "I'll admit, I miss being handsome."

"Rude," Damien whispered, receiving a laugh from both of them.

But their laughter died down when Damien and Celine's aura began to glow brighter, a few tears streaming down Celine's face. "Goodbye, Wil."

Suddenly a bright light filled the room before dimming down, the twins nowhere to be seen as Wilford's aura returned. He sadly smiled, looking at the empty space Celine was in. "Bye Celine..." Wilford then stood up as he walked over to the vanity.

"Wait... So... Celine and Wil... Are they dating?" Anti questioned, turning to Marvin.

"They were an old flame, yes," Marvin said boredly.

"Oh man, I was hitting on his old girlfriend!?"

"Uh-huh." Marvin then leaned into Anti's ear. "Not only that you were technically hitting on Dark."

Anti froze before frantically shaking his head. "Oh God! Oh no! fucking God damn it!" the glitch shouted face planting into the bed causing Marvin to grin. "I'd rather hit on roadkill than that stuck up ass, Jesus!"

Marvin rolled his eyes as he walked up to Wilford, placing a hand on his shoulder, getting his attention. "So is everything good with Dark?"

"I got to apologize first... I just hope he accepts it." Wilford whispered, looking down.

"Knowing Dark, he will. You'll see." Marvin grinned, patting his back. "We should head down to where they are recording and-."

BANG!

Both Marvin and Wilford froze, their smiles wavering. Anti even shot his head up looking at the two shocked egos. "Uh what was that?"

Wilford jumped when he heard another shot go off, along with screaming soon after, his blood running cold. "Darky!" he breathed as he ran for the door, Anti and Marvin following close behind.
