Trusted Lies

Broken

I and my little brother arrived the school and were excited to see our friends once again, we were busy talking about how surprised they’d be to see us when my brother got blindfolded by someone’s hand over his eyes, we immediately switched to defense mode and was about to hit the said attacker when we realized it was just my brother’s best friend John.

Yo Waddup bro my brother said happily

And John replied way happier

Then he started teasing me about how many girls I must have dated over the time, not before I asked him about the one special person in my life.

He avoided answering my questions and was trying to change the topic which got me really upset, I insisted he answered me and he broke the saddest news I had ever received.

She’s gone bro, he said sadly

What..,what do you mean she’s gone? I asked confused and somewhat annoyed by the joke.

She doesn’t school here anymore bro, he said more seriously now

What happened, my brother asked noticing my loss of words

And then he answered: She was actually acting strange since you left, like she had freedom or something...

Freedom? I asked confused

She started dating Nate and fooled around with

Some others in her neighborhood, later on she was discovered pregnant by your English teacher mrs Monroe who scolded her privately in the library..

How did you know this,my brother asked him

I happened to be searching for my usual Fiction stories by Dorian 222 in one of the back shelves when I heard them, he answered.

As I tried to process the news I felt a hard thud in my chest followed by tears which I tried to fight back.

Wh..why,...why would she do this

Why couldn’t she stay as she promised.

I was indeed broken. I and my brother went into the teachers lounge to see mr Roberts my physics teacher.

He had explained a lot of things to me which were hidden

Why didn’t you tell me earlier? you knew we were together, I asked him furiously

Mr Roberts: I didn’t want it to spoil your relationship

So you’re tryna say that my Jessica is and has been pregnant before she came to Oakville high? I asked with disappointment.

Sir, I know you two were close cos she’s your cousin and all but you shouldn’t have hid this from me, I loved her but know I just hate myself for holding on to lies, she told me she was a virgin and would only want to loose it with me. I said in pain running through my heart.

Tripp you have to calm down, my brother said

I yeah you do, Mr Roberts agreed

Come on bro let’s head home, I said to my brother in disappointment.

Days later

I didn’t understand myself anymore, my eyes lost color and the world around me was all grey, nothing made sense anymore and no one saw me smile ever since.

Mom had asked what the problem was several times but I had always remained silent my whole family felt the change, even my Dad who just arrived from his offshore job and would be around for a month.

Minutes turned to hours, Hours into days, Days into weeks,Weeks into months, and finally it was my 19th birthday and graduation from high school.
