And the truth shall set me free

By Nikcool

We were friends.

We were buddies when I had nobody else.

She trusted us together, and I betrayed that trust...

I didn't mean it, I never wanted this to happen.

Noone would ever think of me and Ethan together.

Theresa was in love with Ethan, and everyone knew that.

I knew it more than anything else.

It was an unlikely friendship. It started off with Ethan just talking to me. He was an interesting guy. I found out that when he and Theresa went to Bermuda, he had gotten in trouble with the police there. There was a warrant out for him.

I thought it was so cool, Ethan was an actual trouble maker. IT made him more interesting to me.

One day a drunken Ethan knocked on my bedroom window. Of course I opened the door for him.

"Hey Sexy." He said. That made me feel so beautiful, I was beautiful. I smiled at Ethan, and suddnely he looked scared. "Please don't tell Theresa." he said, before running away from me.

I tried to forget it.

I tried to ignore my physical attraction to him. Ethan was more than 5 years older than me.

I had just turned 20, he was almost 26.

Ethan took me out for dinner a couple of weeks ago. He wanted to thank me for being so nice to him.

I give him the ok to put 2 shots of Whiskey in my coke.

He does it so the bartender can't tell he did it.

But thenn he adds 2 more whiskeys, and then more still.

Soon I feel drunk, but I lie to him, and tell him I'm not.

I start talking about how I wore my sleazy outfits to Rebel against my parents.

He wants to see them.

Ethan gets high on the way home. He was such a bad boy, I guess thats what attracted me to him.

I was so stupid, I modeled my sleazy clothes for him, and he grabs me and tells me how beautiful I am. I smile, and he starts giving me the first full body massage of my life.

I'm enjoying it, I love te attention on me, so I let him go further, and I go further with him.

He stops and he goes to lock the door.

"We are being bad." I say "We really shouldn't do this"

"It's only bad if we get caught." he says, and then we go all the way.

I get flashbacks of the Harmony Rapist, when Ethan is with me. I think I wanted to say no to Ethan, but I confused him with the wrong person.

Ethan enjoyed it I think. He fell asleep in my bed.

And we hung out until Theresa knocked on my door, wondering where he was.

I felt guilty from the first kiss, but I did it anywy.

The guilt almost killed me. There were botched suicide attempts and I refused to leave my room.

It came to me one day.

I had to leave.

I had to leave Harmony, I had to leave Ethan, I had to leave Theresa.

That's why I'm on this bus to L.A.

I've got nowhere to live, no job.

But I won't be in Harmony.

I left Ethan and Theresa letters, along with my family.

I'm too ashamed ever to go back, too ashamed to face them again.

But once they learn the truth. They are probablly reading the letters now, I will be free. The secret will be out, and maybe th ecloud hanging over me will go away.

I think it was the Bible that said "...And the truth shall set you free..."

Ok, I had to write this fic. It needed to come out, and this was the only way I can do it. Sorry if this story sucks.
