After a worried nights sleep I woke up at 10:30am to go and pick up Karl at the airport. I had been overthinking a lot last night before eventually crying myself to sleep.

Maybe I was just overreacting. I didn't know, but I knew I could be overly sensitive when it came to people that I cared about. I had decided to act like I knew nothing about it, and to play along with what he was lying about, seeing if he would act differently.

I decided to ask him questions about the trip and then eventually if he kept lying, I would confront him about it.

I changed into casual clothing before I eventually drove to the airport, more nervous than ever. Anxiety started building up like a ball in my stomach more and more during the drive. Soon enough, I arrived.

I got out of the car to see Karl walking through the automatic doors at the exit. I couldn't help but burst into excitements as I saw him smiling at me. I ran for him to catch me in his arms. I was now in his touch, happier than ever. But soon I got snapped back into reality, knowing what was about to go down.

"I've missed you so much Gracie." He says as he buries his head into my shoulder. I blush at the though of him finally in my touch, and me in his.

"I've missed you too Karl, it's not the same waking up without you." I say before we pull away. "How was the trip?" I intertwine our fingers as we walk towards the car.

"It was nice." He says simply. "What did you do with your family?" I ask. He thought for a second as he got into the passenger seat next to the drivers seat where I was located.

"Not much, we just hung out and went to dinner a couple of nights. I'm glad I got to spend time with them." He says, I could tell something was off by the way he spoke. He was different.

"I can understand. I'm happy you finally got to see them after this of a long time." I say as I turn on the engine and drive towards the exit. I look over at him, he just looked at the road, avoiding eye contact.

"You okay? You seem a bit off." I say as I felt the anxiety creeping up inside of me again.

"Oh yeah! I'm more than okay. Just a bit tired." He says. Wow he sucked at lying.

"Karl I'm not dumb, I can tell something's wrong. You can tell me." I say as I have him a quick glance. I could see that he was texting someone, but I had no idea who it might've been.

"Nothing's wrong! I'm totally fine Grace. I told you, I'm just tired." He says, sounding offended.
Wow, he was really playing this game Huh. Lies on lies on lies.

"Hey, I didn't mean to offend you. I just want you to know I'm here for you." I say which made him smile. He grabbed my hand to squeeze it lightly. I was at the edge of tears, but I tried to ignore it.

I knew what I was going to do. I was going to tell the boys everything first, to ask for advice. Then I was going to confront him and if he lied then, I knew that I couldn't trust him.

As soon as we arrived home I went out for a walk, or in other words, go outside to call Chris. I was shaking as I sat down on a bench to cope with my feelings, I dialed Chris's number and he picked up after a couple of beeps.

"Hey Grace! What's up?" He asks, actually seeming kind of happy. I felt bed, not wanting to ruin his mood. I scratch the back of my neck wondering what to say.

"Hi Chris! Umm- so Karl is back in town now, I just picked him up." I say as I swallowed, trying not to cry.

"Yeah, right! How'd it go with him?" I look down on the ground as a tear fell down my cheek. I started sobbing a bit.

"Well um... I decided to ask him questions about the trip- um, to see if he would still lie about seeing his family, and well, he-he did. He seemed very off and he always answered very superficially, like when I asked him what they did he said they went out for dinner a couple of times, like, I wanna know what you did the WHOLE day. Then when I said that he seemed off he just said he was tired, it seemed like he almost got offended." I say. I heard Chris sigh from the other line before he clicked his tongue a couple of times, trying to figure out what to say.

"Wow, he is really playing these games huh. Well, how long are you gonna give him before you confront him?"

"I'm thinking about giving him the whole entire day, and then if he doesn't confess by himself, I will in the morning." I say as I walk back to the house while figuring that the call would soon come to its end.

"Sounds like a good idea, maybe he starts feeling bad about it and confesses by himself." Chris said as I now saw home.

"Yeah, lets hope so, otherwise I don't know what I'll do." I say. "Well hank you Chris, see ya!" "See ya soon." He said before I hung up. I wiped away my tears as I stood on the front porch, breathing as evenly as possible to calm myself down. I didn't want Karl to think something was wrong.

'Lets hope he doesn't fuck up his shit even more'
