I'm A Big Fat Liar

Chapter 11

"Liam sit down." Chase said sighing. He had no choice, but to tell Liam. Alex already told him the night before and than the idiot forgot.

"Do you remember anything from last night? Anything at all?" Chase hoped with everything he had Liam would remember something.

"Bits and pieces. He was talking about his past. After a while he said he was going to tell me something and than blur. Nothing." Liam admitted.

"Last night Alex told you his biggest secret ever. He was so afraid you'd hate him, but you accepted him. Than today when he gets out of the shower you texted him and told him last night was a blur. He broke down. His secret wasn't a small one. It could have broken your friendship, but your dumbass can't remember, thus Alex is like this." Chase said bitterly pointing down at the balled up Alex clutching his shirt.

"Nothing could make us stop being friends. Nothing is that serious." Liam said disagreeing with Chase. Not believing anything could destroy their friendship.

"Liam, for once in your life open you eyes. It's been in front of you this entire time and you've been so blind. I don't really want to tell you. I really don't. If you honestly can't figure it out. I guess I'll have no choice." Chase said defeated. His eyes looked at his brother than back to Alex. Again and again. Liam still looked confused.

"Chase stop playing games and spill it." Liam said angrily. Before Chase could respond. Alex shifted and sat up abruptly. Looking right at Liam. Her eyes were void, even Liam noticed.

"Your were my best friend Liam. The secret is I am a girl." Alex said with no emotion what so ever in her voice. She sounded as hallow as she looked.

"Wait. What? Your joking right?" Liam asked hurt. This had to be some sort of joke. He looked to Chase to confirm it was a joke and Chase shook his head letting Liam know it wasn't a joke. Before Liam or Chase could say anything Alex continued on in her hallow emotionless voice.

"I told you everything. I'm so sorry." Alex said with a single tear running down her pale chubby cheek.

"Sorry! Your fucking sorry! You lied to me! LIED TO ME! ALmost 6 months Alex! You lied! I thought you were a man! Was this some sort of sick joke Alex!? WAS IT!?" Liam screamed with his arms flailing. His eyes were slits. He was filled with rage. His best friend was a fraud.

"No. You thought I was a man and never denied it. It was the only way to keep you around. You were so free spirited. You were like a calm summer night. You made me smile and I wanted it last. You wouldn't have stayed around if you knew I was a ugly fat woman and not an ugly fat man. You would have never spoken to me again. I really wanted to be by your side and be your friend." Alex said monotonously. She was very calm. Her mind was functioning, but she pushed her feelings back and decided this had to be done. Now and not later. She had lied long enough, too long actually.

"Your fucking disgusting! Stay the fuck away from me! Do you understand? Stay the fuck away from me!" Liam screamed before leaving Alex's apartment slamming her door hard enough to knock photos off her walls.

All Alex could do was look at the closed door. She did it. She told him the truth and this time he walked out on her. She always knew she was worthless and this just proved it. Her family was right she was a disgusting person. Chase got Alex's attention and she felt numb. She gave him a small smile and thanked him.

"I'm okay now. I am sorry about everything. It's just I promised my father I would wait until marriage to give my virginity to my husband, but I broke that promise last night and gave myself to Liam. Not only before marriage, but intoxicated and it hit me hard. My father is dead, so that made it much worse on me. I really am okay now though. It feels as if a weight has been removed from my shoulders after telling him and I can breathe easier." Alex said calmly looking Chase directly in the eyes.
