I Can't Keep Pretending

Prologue

Prologue

"Stop pulling my hair!" I said after the meanest boy I knew at six pulled my hair. "Why? It's not like you need it anyway you have enough of it already." I couldn't take his comments anymore so I pushed him. It's not that awful but that is the meanest thing I could think of to do at the time. You know what he did after he got up? He pushed me down! Here I am a defenseless girl being pushed down by some boy who was pulling on my hair! I did the only thing I could do at that age I cried and ran to the teacher.

After that Christian and I never got along. That is until our freshmen year of high school. I was having a major meltdown because my dad was being his usual pathetic self. He was asking my mom for more money to gamble away. He had a serious addiction and never stopped. It broke my heart to see my mom so sad. She didn't deserve what my father put her through. Well at school I was crying and Christian came over and pulled me into a hug. It was the most comforting thing in the world. Just to be held by someone, to feel safe. Christian didn't ask me why I was crying or what was wrong. Nope, he just stood there holding me telling me everything would be fine. After I stopped sobbing enough to make a coherent sentence I told him everything. I told how sad I was, and how disappointed I was with my father. I told all that I had been through. From beginning to end I told him the whole sad story of my life.

You know from the outside you never would have known I was hurting so deeply. I was the straight A student. The girl everyone got along with. I had always thought Christian didn't care about me, but I was wrong. He said he was sorry I had to deal with all that, and that he would be here for me always. After that Christian became my rock. The only person in my life who I could trust with anything was him. I told him everything and he told me everything. It was perfect, he was perfect. Then I realized that I never hated him. I was just trying to push him away because I liked him. I like him a lot, and I always would.
