Some truths are twisted tighter than lies.
Forcing Eli to hate me shatters my heart.
It devastates me more than watching him fall back into the arms of his ex-girlfriend.
It cuts deeper than pretending I don’t care.
But I do it to protect his future happiness; I do it for him.
Eli swallows the lies I feed him and exhales them as twisted truths.
He discovers my secret and embraces the anguish crippling my soul.
Relentless. Determined. Desperate.
I couldn’t push him away again if I tried.
And I’m done trying.
