Mendacious

this is my entry for the one-shot competition for the book 'glances' by cityIovers . enjoy! it is not based on the book itself, so it has different characters. just to clarify the italic is the girl. the normal written is the boy. the bold and italic is nothing that is said.

your stomach is in knots.

you feel dizzy. you feel numb. why are you so nervous? there really is no reason.

silence. ringing. a click.

''i'm sorry'' you don't know why you apologize. you have nothing to apologize for. your voice breaks, your head spins and your heart pounds. what is happening to you?

"..."

''why are you doing this to me?''

''i'm not... you are.''

''bullshit! you're driving me mad with this! all i hear are lies and i can't take it anymore! i won't!''

''and you shouldn't. i love you. don't forget that. never forget that.''

''how can you love me? you torture me, you decieve me and you're with him. if anything... you hate me.''

"bye, alex."

silence. a click. end of call.
