Dear Mom,

lying

dear mom,

cedric drove me back to the orphanage,

he saw the words on my body,

and kept giving me worried glances.

i told him it was fine,

the voices knew that it wasn't.

as i got out of cedric's car,

cedric came over to me,

and gave me one last tight bear hug,

and in the progress lifting me up,

and kissing my cheek.

sure i felt butterflies,

but it's just a matter of seconds before cedric also gets hurt because of me.

he noticed my change of mood though,

and asked if i was fine.

"i'm fine.

just go now you big but."

i gave him a fake smile,

and sure he looked suspicious,

but he smiled back and gave me another hug.

"i love you ann."

he told me before leaving.

i'm sorry cedric.

love,

ann
