"Where have you been?" William asked.
He knew.
"Just tell me-"
"Where did you find about him?" He asked stupefied.
"I went to Britney's house to do our project-"
"Britney was your partner," he said sighing with his closed eyes as if he should have guessed it.
"I-I stumbled on a room and saw you there. What were you doing there?"
"I-I wasn't there."
"Then why does Xander look like you?" I asked, just wanting him to clear my confusion. The headache seemed to get stronger as I got baffled by the passing second.
"Rose, I-I have not been honest with you,” William spoke, sighing and falling beside me.
"What do you mean?"
The deafening sound of thunder broke through the clouds as I continued staring at William intently.
"I'm not dead," he said looking at me straight in the eye.
The rain was getting heavier as fat drops ricocheted off the ground. I waited for him to say 'I'm your Imagination' or 'I'm not real' or even-
This is a joke.
I wouldn't be mad at him. But he didn't say anything. He just stared at me. The silence was getting unbearable so I broke it,
"Who a-are you?" I asked choking on the words.
"I am Xander William Benmonte."
William. It was his middle name.
"Why didn't you ever tell me? Why keep me in the dark!" I cried out backing away from him.
Why would he not tell me? How could he say he was spirit?
"Please, I wanted to-I tried but I couldn't tell you who I was, I'm not very proud," he said defeated.
"Why are you saying that? Will, your house is full of medals and trophies and pictures-"
"They don't say what I did!" He cried out cutting me off. My eyes widened at his outburst.
"I may have been the golden boy and so all, but I did something that can never be forgiven."
My shoulders slumped at his words seeing him sobbing for doing something he regretted so much. He was shaking extensively as I walked over and hugged him tightly.
"Please, stop-"
"No! Don't stop me Rose, I need to tell you this. I-I can't escape this anymore, and if-if you don’t want to see me again, I get it. I wouldn't want to be with someone like me either."
I stared at him bewildered. What did he do?
"William, why are you saying like that?"
"Rose, the night I was in a car accident, I-" he gulped heavily and stared at me with a guilty look before saying,
"I killed two people."
