Twisted lies

Chapter 1: Where it all stared

Staring into the mirror realising what my life had become was painful. Every time I walked into our room realising he wasn't there, knowing where he really was, was agonising. The feel of his touch as he slid into bed at 2am smelling of another girls perfume was death.

6 years ago.
It was my last year in secondary school. I had liked Jason Hugh since year 8. His floppy dark hair, his gorgeous big brown eyes getting lost in them every second I spent swooning over him. He was the typical bad boy of the school, smoking, constantly with different girls but that didn't stop me from obsessing over him.

I was in maths when he talked to me the first time
"Hey um it's y/n right."
"Y-yeah what's up" I stuttered
He was smirking as he talked in his deep trancing voice
"Well I've seen seen you around and I was wondering if maybe you'd like to talk  sometime, go out somewhere or something"
*Freaking out internally* i replied
"Um yeah sure do you want my number?"
He grinned "Yeah sure put it in my phone"
He handed me his phone. Once i finished putting my number in his phone, my hands nonstop shaking, I gave it back to him smiling.  "Here you go"
He smiled back "Ok thanks I'll call you later yeah"

Never did I think from that moment my life would change completely.

From that day forward we talked everyday and spent every second together. It moved so fast almost to fast but I didn't care, I was so in love I was blind to the world around me, all I cared about was him and only him.

After 2 months of talking he asked me to be his girlfriend I didn't hesitate to say yes. I was so happy my heart was jumping I was on cloud nine thinking no-one could ever stop me from feeling this amazing.

3 years later

We had bought our first flat together. We were nineteen and still so in love. Jason had gotten a job in the local bath shop in town and I was working as a receptionist in an office in central London. We had made enough money to support each other and nothing could've made us happier.

We were cuddled up on the sofa in our new home watching a movie. It will forever be one of my favourite memories we shared together.
Playing with my hair wrapping his arms around me he whispered "I love you so much y/n I am so madly in love with you don't you ever forget that. I will always be here" he started kissing me holding me tight. The rest of the night we laid in each others arms feeling his soft lips gently plant kisses on my head.

I felt safe in his arms, like everything was always going to be ok.

2 years later

We had been together for 5 years now. Everything seemed to be going ok until things started to change. He'd started to come home later, turning his phone off every time I'd call or text to see where he was. I asked him why but every time I asked he said I was making a big deal, that he was just working extra hours so he could get more money so we could be even happier. So I brushed it off and fell into his arms again reassuring myself it was nothing.

But one night was when everything changed. Jason would get back from work at 5pm every night. I would prepare his dinner and then we'd cuddle up on the sofa and watch some tv. But this one particular night he didn't get home  till 2am. Once again he turned off is phone so I couldn't reach him. I tried to stay up for him but I decided it was getting late. That night I cried and cried. I knew there was something he wasn't telling me it had been going on for months now and I knew it wasn't good.

It was 2am I was in bed and heard the door open as he stumbled into our apartment. I pretended to be asleep. He opened the door to our bedroom and slid into bed. He smelt like a girls perfume. He passed out as soon as he got into bed. I turned over to look at him. He had lipstick over his face. My heart dropped. I felt like I'd been shot, like the world around me had stopped. My body was frozen in agony never did I think this would happen, never did I think the boy who I was madly in love with would hurt me like this.

And from that day forward my life had been flipped upside down.
