BENEATH ALL THE LIES

Prolog

I was standing in front of my past shadow, the past I couldn't have gotten out from no matter how hard I tried to shake it off unless I got the right push. All this years, all the lies, all the deceits and all that I believed as my life was just a big fat bogus. I was never who people thought that I was. Alas, I was never who I thought that I was. And all started with this person in front of me who altered my life, who turned everything upside down for me.

Those eyes looking at me, I could have believed those eyes were sincere had I not discovered the truth behind all these lies. I could see tears in those eyes and the smile, and in the voice calling my name. Years ago, I would have wiped the tears away and said everything would be fine, but now all I could think of was "Why did you do this to me? How could you?"

"This will be the last time you will ever see me. I will never come to visit you and you will never hear from me ever again. You will live with that pain for as long as you live because you deserve it after all that you have done."

Those were my last words before I turned and started to leave the place. Then I heard the cry," Please, Cassey. Don't leave me like this. Please, listen to me. I will tell you the truth. Why I did what I did. Please. "

Without turning my back, I said" You've had plenty of that chance for the past 28 years but you never use it. And now it's too late. Goodbye."

With those words I left, my present in front of me, smiling to me and my past behind me, crying and calling me. But I would never turn, just kept going forward.
