Rainbow's POV.
One month later.
"Fine, look at it this way. If you tested the best piece of cake you've ever had in your life, would you continue to eat it even though a few people tell you it's not that and that they find it disgusting and they don't like it?"
"Yes!" I replied without hesitation.
"Why?" He asked and sighed. I don't see where he's going with this.
"Because um...we have different test buds, and what I tested from the cake might be different from what they tested?" I said this time sounding more like a question.
"Exactly! That's exactly what you and him are like. You're still in love with the idea of what you tested, and it's very hard for you to believe it's over; that's what I call...toxic. He says.
Raising my eyebrows, I ask.
"Toxic?"
"Yup!"
He answered popping the 'P' like that's supposed to clarify things.
Geez!
He's taking this fake therapist thing more seriously than I thought.
"Define toxic"
I know I'm pushing his buttons right now but this guy doesn't know how to say things straight to the point! He sighed and pushed his glasses further up his nose like an actual psychologist who was dealing with a difficult client before answering my question.
"Toxic, is when someone has hurt you so much to the point where you are tired of it but you still love them so much you don't wanna leave and you're willing to keep getting hurt by the same person hoping they will change and that things will go back to the way they were but it doesn't."
"And you start thinking bad stuff about yourself while losing your self-worth in the process. That's what I call toxic." He finished while giving me that look that says...' Is there anything you still don't understand?'
I'm not entirely shocked by his words as there's nothing he's just said that I haven't already thought about. I always find other words to console myself, 'like the devil I know is better than the angel I don't know' but he's right. What's the purpose of a fake therapist if not for knocking sense into you by being blunt about your situation?
When I agreed to this fake therapy thing with Hunter about two weeks ago, I didn't realize it would have so much impact on me and also help me change the way I see things. We had been hanging out just like any other day, talking about random stuff, when he decided to tell me about his sister's connection to the locked room. Not that I've been bugging him about it for weeks or anything.
Okay, maybe I have. I asked him many times why only that particular door was locked. I was curious alright?
Don't you dare judge me!
The room is where he keeps his dead sister, Kayla's stuff. It was too painful for him to go in there; that's why he kept it locked. But after telling me about her two weeks ago, we have gone through some of the things together and have found some pretty interesting things that bring him good memories about her, like her piano.
