The Shadows of Memory Lane (Book 2) [Gxg]

Prologue

Hey. It's nice to meet you. I'm Linda Rivers. And one thing you should know about me is that I'm definitely straight. To prove my point, I've had about five boyfriends in the past four years.

And then there is the contradictory side of my mind. Which keeps asking me ... if I was really straight... then why did each of those relationships suck? Why did I end each relationship even before the boy got the chance to kiss me. And why did I feel like throwing up each and every time they made even small contacts with my skin.

When my best friend, girl friend, Haley Moores died... it broke me. I had just accepted the fact that I was lesbian. No not bisexual. Lesbian.  But then the one girl I had loved died. My first love. She'd left me with a mind fresh of memories of us together. She was the glue, holding the shattered pieces of the broken mirror that I am, together. And when the glue gave way... the insecurities entered... widening the cracks. And now with societal pressure I've indulged into a maze of lies, hiding what I really I am. Masking an undeniable part of me. My parents had tried to help me... after all Haley died because of.... urgh.

But that didn't help. Their hope in me didn't even cover a little bit of what Haley had. It was nothing. So I guess me, my pathetic self and I, drowned in my own thoughts, discriminating myself. I became my own enemy.

And now the closet is void of space. I lie crumpled, in the corner. Allowing my lies to devour me... one cell at a time.

Yeah... I'm most definitely straight. As straight as the infinity symbol...
