Lies and Truths {COMPLETED}

4. Liar Liar

I leaned on the window sill, not saying a word. The man took a step closer to me. "Ya know, ya kind of owe me." He stated. I started to feel uneasy as he walked closer. "You don't talk much do you?" He arched a brow. A darker man walked in behind the first. He made me feel a little more comfortable. At least I wasn't alone with a strange man anymore. With the other here, he couldn't do anything..naughty, let's say, with the other around.
"Thomas, perhaps she's uneasy. Keep in mind that she was beside a gas station in the rain...she's probably scared, she's in a strange place." He said softly. The man he called Thomas looked at the other and then me. I stared at the ground. That was half the truth. I'm not scared, I'm just in a strange place, traumatized..sort of. "Okay erm.." Thomas clasped his hands together. "I'm Thomas, and this is my friend James. We uh..saved you last night?" He looked at James like he was asking if it was the right thing to say. James gave him a slight nod and stepped closer to me. I watched for any odd movements. "I apologize for startling you Miss, we were just trying to help you." James kept his voice soft. I took a deep breath. If I lie about my situation they won't feel pity, I'll tell half truth. "I know. I ran away from home." I stated. "I can't exactly call it home anymore. I was...a maid." I muttered. Thomas looked at James and then back at me. James put his hands in his pockets. I think they bought it. "Why'd you run?" Thomas asked. I bit my lip. I knew one of them would ask that. "I was threatened to be abused..I ran that night." I lied. God I hate lying, but these are strangers, I can't let them know what really happened. James smiled softly while Thomas chuckled. "Someone had the right mindset then hm? If you are gonna run away though, I suggest you make sure that you have a game plan other than the side of a gas station." Thomas informed. I laughed nervously and quietly, nodding as I started to feel my chest tighten and my stomach drop. Welcome to the front gate of guilt. For lying. Ugh. Just great. I think to myself. Now I'm never gonna get this off my chest. I took a deep breath. I'm a big fat liar. Liar liar, at least my pants aren't on fire.

Okay okay I know these chapters are getting suuuuuuuper short but I have a plan and I wanna do it soon and it's really annoying when that's the middle of the story and not in the beginning...GR!!! Anyway, I hope this was enough to satisfy my lovely child's who read this. Mama Cat here to save the daaaaayyyyy!!
