Lies
Jack
I couldn’t go back
to the hotel.
Not quite yet. It
was too much
stress. Especially
after lying to
my twin sister...
my only real sister.
Jackie, you need to
hurry up, man.
We can’t meet our
contact if you
keep being so slow.
I hated that name,
Jackie. Only
Mom ever called
me that name,
and she knew I
hated it anyway.
Talk about annoying.
“I’m coming,
Darius. Just
shut up, alright?”
Yeah, yeah. Hurry
your scrawny ass
up! I don’t care if
you’re talking to
the freaking God
himself. Now
hurry up, brat!
I trudged out of the
bathroom
stall. Just more lies.
