A/N: I keep typing Adrain instead of Adrian and my spellcheck auto-corrects it to "A drain" (sweatdrop) so I spend a lot of time going through correcting that...

"You need help, Matt." She was looking at him with that sad, pitiful look on her face. "Let's get you to the hospital. They can help you there."
Matt was sitting slumped in the corner of their hotel room. "No, Celeste. How many times do I have to tell you? I'm not going to risk my career over it. Not now. I'm finally getting somewhere. I'm-"
"Matt, you can't keep doing this to yourself. You need help."
The same thing every day. Ever since she found out, all she wanted was for him to be "fixed".
Until finally...
"I can't do this anymore, Celeste."
"Matt! You mean..." From the hopeful tone in her voice, he could tell she thought he meant he was ready to seek mental help. She was wrong.
"Get out. I never want to see you again."
"Matt..."
"OUT! And don't you dare tell anyone about me!"
Matt woke to find that Adrian had already left the bed. She was standing by the window, apparently lost in thought.
"Adrian," Matt called out, his voice heavy with sleep. "What's wrong?" He got up and started to walk over to her.
"You broke up with Celeste..." Her words stopped him in his tracks. "You got tired of her and broke up with her, isn't that right? You're going to get tired of me, too..."
Shit. What is her obsession with that woman? Idiot Matt abandoned his consciousness to Evil Matt.
"You are NOT Celeste! You can't be Celeste!" Matt shouted angrily. "You're Adrian! Adrian didn't think my split personality was disgusting. Adrian didn't tell me to check into a mental hospital even though it would ruin my career. Adrian didn't stay with me out of pity until I couldn't stand it anymore!"
Adrian didn't... does that meant that Celeste did...?
"Matt..."
"Your line is 'You need help, Matt'," He said bitterly. He wasn't looking at her anymore.
"You're right, Matt." He looked up as she stepped toward him. "I can't be Celeste." Adrian reached up and brushed Matt's hair back from his face. "I was a little scared when I first saw this." She stroked the tips of the scar under his eye. "There may be two Matts in there-" She knocked her knuckles against his forehead. "-but I love them both. I love you, Matt." She stood on her tip-toes and kissed his scar lightly, then his lips.
All the anger flowed out of him as he slid his arms around her waist and returned the kiss. When they parted, Adrian was smiling at him.
"Your line is 'I love you too, Adrian'," she teased him playfully.
Matt laughed. "I knew you had your own personality in there somewhere, copycat."
