Coming clean.

"No. Not really." I said turn.

"How?" He seemed perplexed. 'How cute.' I thought.

"I could say I am getting to know a little bit more about you and that is a good thing. And besides, do you think I will let you ever get empathetic towards me? If you ever are, I will remind you, over and over what it means to me min…my friend." I really am losing it. I almost let my possessiveness slip.

"I'm a bad person." He said, which I found to be very funny.

"I'm worse." I replied.

It was true. Maybe 'worse' is underrated. Not the absolute worst to be precise, but I was never a good person to begin with. I only repaid good with good and Bad with worse.

"No, you haven't seen all of me. I am a bad person." What was Caleb even saying?

"Then, I love a bad person who is a slightly better person than me." I did because he was a light in my dark world. I was the only one keeping me sane and going. I loved him so much. Not only as a love interest but on a deeper level. I depended on him more than I let off.

"You love me?" I smiled when he asked that.

"Yes. I mean, what are we by now? Aren't we basically family? You could be my only family, only best friend and most of all, I know you for who you actually are." I thought it was time to let him know some truth.

"I never told you about any of that. You only know who I am when we are together." He seemed to have convinced himself with certainty that he was the bad guy in comparison between us.

"Nah. Which family do you think employed me? I did a thorough background check before I actually joined the technical department. I know how their process is done. I know of many things that you have done and required covering up. I have done most of that since I was employed. You know it isn't only the bodies that are gotten rid of when you kill someone. I have to create an illusion to the public or simply make them disappear from reality. I have done that and much worse all while I am in the comfort of my house." I was putting it bare of my true nature. He should have known I was the scared one. I wouldn't bear it if he left me alone.

"Do you hate me, even a little bit?" He looked me straight in the eye and asked. I thought he would hate me instead.

"No. Do you hate me?" I replied.

"No." He answered.

"Anything else?" So, we could get this conversation over with.

"Actually yeah. You are the most important person. You are more a family than my family ever was." I swear he caught people way off guard.

"Thanks" I said, calming my heart. 'God why does he say that at times like this. It's too sudden.'

"No. Thank you"

"Are you feeling better?" I asked.

"Yeah" 'Good.'

"So back to how we were, kay?" I wanted to confirm if my will was successfully conveyed.

"Yes" It was.

"Then let's continue laughing and be happy. At least do it for me for me" I had to preserve his smile. Give him a reason to smile at the very least.

"I will" Success!!
