Lie or Dare

Two people will have to make a choice that the world has seem to set for them: lie or dare. The hardest part is figuring out the difference.

Prologue

Silence... deafening at first because you know it's the stillness before the inevitable; the inevitable is bound to occur. And then everything comes crashing down on you, all at once. Sometimes, when the tide is that strong and the currents keep pushing you further down, you can't help but get caught up in it. Trying to fight it, you just get further tangled into the mass until that moment of clarity; the feeling of calm again. Like a lullaby, its gentle and soothing noise draws you into the tranquility and it's there when you stop resisting the water and let it take you. Where? You have no clue. Do you care? You shouldn't. This moment is meant for embracing life and its faults as well as qualities. The waves glide toward the shore and bring you with it, about to surface for that long awaited breath.

This could easily relate to life; anybody, any situation, anytime, anywhere, for any reason. But for some reason, this hypothetical scenario didn't relate at all to Haley James's life… not in her opinion at least.
