"He," she paused. I hope he hasn't lied to me. It would crush me if I find out he did. "Lied," she said.
I paused, unable to speak. Thai can't be happening. No, it can't. No. No. No, I tell myself, but my brain is smart, and it kelpies replying. Yes. Yes. Yes. I am in a battle within my mind between myself and my brain right now. If I told that to anyone, I'd be on a one way ticket to the nearest insane asylum. "What?" I croak out to Christina.
"You can see that in his face, his eyes are not directly into yours and his eyebrows are arched, not furrowed. This means that he does not want to tell you the truth, so he is making something up on the spot." States Christina.
I burst into tears as I scream into my pillow. "I hate him!" I yell. I'm not sure who I'm yelling at though, maybe the world. "That son of a stiff had me falling for him, just to find out that he's
a cheater and a liar!"
"Life sucks," she says. She's right. Maybe I should just jump into the chasm. Al must have done it without hesitating, and now I can understand why. When the person you thought you loved doesn't feel the same way back, it kills you.
I tell Christina that I'm going to take a walk around and mull things over. She just nods and places her hand on my shoulder and mouths, I understand. But she doesn't. She doesn't understand. The only one who does is Al, and if I decided to be with him instead of Tobias, neither of is would. He and I would both be alive, but now we will both be dead.
I walk into the cafeteria with tears in my eyes. I take it all in. I used to love this place. Now all it does is bring bad memories. I walk to the railing before the chasm and climb over until the only thing separating me from death is my sweaty palms. I let go.
