Wilbur's POV

-Wilbur?- [Y/N] asked me. She was laying on her bed, reading a book while I was sitting on the floor.


-Huh?- I answered without really paying attention.


-What if I told you I like you?- my heart stopped for a second. I didn't knew how to respond to that, she laughed -Forget it, it's stupid.-


-What's stupid?- I asked her


-Well, I've been liking someone recently and I wanted to see your reaction, you know, to my confession.


-So, who's the lucky guy?- I joked and we both laughed


-It's...- she seemed doubtfull, but decided to confess -It's Lewis...-


I felt dizzy, everything was happening so quick. I began to worry, this could not be happening, that means opening the possibility of me not existing again.


-That's why it's stupid.- she said, breaking the silence -I don't think he likes me, plus it will be like totally betraying Franny.- silence again


-Well, uh... Umm...- I mumbled, I couldn't figure out what to tell her. I spoke again, a couple of seconds later. -I'll keep your dirty little secret.-


-Thanks Wilbur, I knew I could trust you- she smiled -I'm not sure I like him tho, but it's more likely to be a yes.- those words made me feel a little bit relieved, but I was still really worried.


TIMESKIP


-A girl likes me?- he was walking in circles all around the room 


-Can't you see the tragedy that is about to happen?- I said worried


-A girl... likes me- he said again


-Focus, Lewis.- I took him from the shoulders and stopped him from walking -I could stop existing!-


-Yes, but you're still here, which means I got to marry Franny- he answered, calming me down


-Ok, yeah. But that's not gonna happen if you keep getting excited with the fact that [Y/N] likes you.


-Don't worry, Wilbur, I won't


-Promise? I've got a plan


-Promise. Tell me about it.


The plan was quite simple. Everyday I was going to try to talk to [Y/N] about how things with Lewis were going. Then, I was going to spend more time with her, more alone time with her until we end up actually dating. In resume, I was going to make her fall for me so that she would forget about Lewis. I know, I know. It's pretty cruel, but it was the only way to save myself, it was the only thing I could figure out to keep existing. We would begin with the plan on monday, two more days and everything as we know it would change.
