Splitting image of my mother. Blessing and a Curse. I was always protected from anyone who even looked my way, my brother made sure of that. But he couldn't protect me this time, no one could. Over time I wanted it more and more, hiding it from everyone was becoming harder and harder.
I was a 16 year old girl in a relationship full of lies with a 23 year old. My age never bothered him considering that he didn't know it. Lie 1. My college schedule and babysitting job didn't bother him either. Lie 2. But after the I Love Yous began to be shared the lies I put in place to protect me began to shatter. Keeping up the lies to not only Tory but myself became a full time job.
