“So, do you want to expin yourself? Or shall I start listing out all the reasons I’m re-considering my position as your best friend?” Anna snapped, pushing the food cart to my bed with her foot and standing akimbo. Her nostrils fred as she gred at me, huddled in my bed.

  I watched as my breakfast, thankfully securely packaged and gdly wrapped to perfection, bounced off the side of my bed and careened into the void that was the corner of my room.

  “ Anna, please,” I begged, my eyes trying to look at her, but in fear, I settled on looking at her feet.

  “Not only have you made me py along with this little charade of yours, being “Rachel” and making you clothes that fit your gargantuan form and masks that complement the look, I am now supposed to call you Rachel’s cousin in public. What next? Are you going to elope with your fiancé instead of telling him the truth and working things out sensibly? Are your future kids going to even know who their dad is and who their aunt Rachel is? Or am I supposed to create a whole new ID for this persona of yours that you are keeping up for the sake of pretenses?” Anna snapped, pacing up and down as she said it.

  “I’m sorry, Anna,” I replied, retreating further into the bnket.

  “Well, sorry, it is not going to be cut. We must get you out of this mess or help me, God. I am going to kill all our parents and make us all orphans because, already on this level, I cannot keep up!” Anna raged and started shaking one of the stuffed toys that I used to prop up some books on my bookshelf “ Give me back the good old days when we could just hang out and sleep around and pig out on chocote rice cakes afterward!!!”

  I sighed. As much as I wanted just to run away, I couldn’t stand by while Anna strangled the life out of a stuffed toy because of me.

  I slipped from my bnket, shuffled over to her, and touched her shoulder.

  “Anna-“

  “And what exactly did you do to Luna, hmmm? What were you thinking? What if he found out you….are not a complete set? Are you out of your mind? Your cover would be completely blown!” Anna said as she smacked my hand away and stomped to the other side of the room.

  “If it helps, I was packing…so it probably felt real to him,” I tried to expin, only to be met with Superman-level ser beam eyes. Clearly, this was not the time and pce to talk about body-modifying enhancements.

  I picked up the abandoned teddy bear and returned it to the shelf.

  “ I’m sorry, I wasn’t thinking. I got…carried away. I saw the two of them kissing…and then I just saw red, and suddenly I was pushing the DJ spot to Richard and was running after them. Anna…I know I fucked up; I’m sorry, I feel like shit, and I don’t know what to do,” I said and sank to my knees. “I think I’m in love with him,” I said, covering my face in despair. “ I’m in love with my fiancé, who is engaged to my persona; what the hell am I supposed to do?”

  The silence stretched between us in that empty room; a gentle hand patted my back.
