Part 8 : A Lie For A Lie

Hello Everyone! I was going to share this yesterday BUT since it was my birthday I was so busy answering phone calls and Facebook posts, ALSO, my friends threw a surprise b-day part for me just before the day ended isn't that sweet?

So here it is the new part, don't forget to vote and show support by leaving a comment!

"I'm so tired." I groaned as soon as I got back home.

Spending the whole day with Noah was definitely one of the greatest ideas ever we had so much fun. During the 12-long-hours-day I met his uncle Darren and oh my god they looked alike. They had the same bright blue eyes, red cheeks and even the same thick brown hair except for Darren's few grey stands. Noah looked almost nothing like his father but so much like his uncle, we made random jokes about him being his uncle's son and he was laughing about it because he thought he might be at some-points-of-his-life.

Yet, what made me feel guilty is the fact that I lied. I lied about something I shouldn't have lied about. I told Noah that me and Taylor have been hooking up but that's not it. I remember the day where I found Noah's facebook page open in my laptop, I went in and read all of his messages with Taylor, I don't know what got into me but I did.

What I found out and what was more surprising is the fact that Noah wasn't really okay with me being different. Instead of talking with me about it he talked about it with Taylor and that's what made me on the verge of losing my mind and come up with a lie.

I know admitting something like that, after only recently accepting it myself was no easy task. And it would definitely be a hard pill for anyone to swallow no matter if they are friend or family.  

To be honest, Noah's attitude pushed me to come up with the lie, telling him that Taylor leaked their conversation is a big mistake because Taylor didn't, it was me who insisted on reading the messages even though it hurt me like tons of bricks. Noah told Taylor that his parents didn't like me and he also said that they find me girly but since we became very close he just can't face me with something like that.

Taylor's response was just "I noticed that too but since he is a good friend let's keep this away from him."

And this is what made me feel bad, guilty and most of all selfish. He turned around to be a good person.  I didn't have the guts to come clean to Noah, I even asked him to never bring up this to Taylor and he promised not to.

I woke up the next sunday morning sweating from a horrible dream, yawningly, I moved my blankets and stepped away from bed to the bathroom where I washed my face with cold water in order to wake up real quick. Later on, I walked down stairs to have breakfast where I found no toasts nor coffee nor juice all I found was a note.

It reads : "If you're reading this then it's already lunch time, plus we are at your aunts place you can join us if you want." I checked my phone to see what time it was damn it was quarter to two but that's not it I found six texts from Eveline and one missed call from Amy.

I rushed to call Eve and see what was wrong : "Is everything alright?" I said as soon as she picked up the phone.

"Yes, why are you always freaking out?"

"You scared the hell out of with you six texts."

"I just wanted to see how are you going to spend your sunday and in case you're not having a date with your man then you can come and have lunch at my place."

"My man? Seriously Eve?"

"It's just a guess." She laughed. "Who knows?"

"Fine, I'll have a shower and I will drop by in 30 minutes." I answered as I pretened not to hear what she just said.

"I will be waiting." She added as she hang up.

I then called Amy check on her, she was fine and she wanted to inform me that she will be skipping the next swimming sessions because of exams, well, at least she cares about her studies! I have to say, college is harder than high school.

Since it's almost spring break and the weather is getting warmer, I decided to wear some shorts and a blue tee-shirt. I took the  trash bag with me so I can throw it because its smell is getting on my nerves. On my way to Eve's, I abruptly saw my cousin Toby talking to Chris, it was weird, really really weird becausethey  hated each other to death. I was actually kind of stressing and felt kind of insecure since I have been bullied by my cousin Toby.

Just knowing that Toby and Chris were standing inches away from me was almost enough to make me want to cower and hide.

"Hey Liam!" Called Toby. "Come here for a second." I marched towards him . "Did you find yourslef a new job?"

"Excuse me?" I asked while Chris kept staring at me.

"Are you becoming a municiapl worker?" He asked looking at the trash bag I was holding.

I laughed nervously while unconsciously runing my hand through my untidy hair, it was something that I used to always do when I'm feeling anxious and stressing. Chris noticed the small gesture as he snatched it away from my hand.

"Now you have to become one, my father will get every single amount of money that our grandfather left, also he will be sharing it with grandma, as for you and your family you won't get anything and we'll make your life a living hell." He said as his lips drew half a smile.

As for Chris he stood there watching the whole act. Toby came closer to me and wrapped his arms against my tee-shirt : "I hate you for being good at everything." And pushed me as if I was hit by a train, I fell down the ground and gulped when I suddenly felt something that was poured at me. To my surprise, I raised my head to see that Chris was the one who poured it all out on me, the garbage trash.

It's a crumpling feeling. It's a feeling that makes you desperate for attention, approval, and affection. It makes you feel nauseous. It kills your self esteem, your trust, everything. It's like you're on your first roller coaster; everything's too fast to comprehend, and as you are plunged down that steep hill your stomach lurches into your throat, choking you and making a huge tangle of organs and intestines. And when the ride ends things are a bit clearer, but everything is still dizzy and you are a bit numb. Or, worse, all your nerves are alive as ever and your senses are heightened.

When you get off a roller coaster, it's as if the whole world is spinning around fast but you are standing still. There are strings holding you down and everybody is watching the one person who can't move. You are vulnerable and you have no idea how to snip the strings and move on.

"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HIM!" Someone roared.

"Oh my God Liam!" Someone else shouted.
