The New ME

I stared at the two people who I trust the most. The people who I loved; the people who I thought were always there for me. And yet...

Cindy smiled at me sweetly- too sweet, in fact, it was kind of disturbing. She played a strand of her hair as she approached me with slow steps. As I stood, I couldn't help but think back to all the times we spent together, the happy days, the good days. Was that all a lie?

The answer stood in front of me. How could I be so stupid not to see it?

Cindy pulled her hand back and slapped me. I gasped, putting a hand to my cheek. As tears formed in my eyes, I took a glance at my boyfriend. He just looked so happy. So satisfied.

"Why?" I asked them.

"You ask why?" Cindy rolled her eyes and put her hands on her hips. "You're fat, that's why. You're boring, that's why. You're such a crybaby, that's why. Should I continue, my dear best friend?"
