Lies
Hi, my name is Jack Spicer and I lie. I lie a lot.
-
When I was six I told my first lie. My mother and I were eating in the spacious dining room in our large mansion when she asked me a question.
"Jackie, do you miss your Daddy when he's away?" , she asked in her fake, too sweet voice.
I stared blankly at her with my large innocent red eyes and said, " Yes."
....I lied.
--
When I was nine a maid quietly asked if I knew about my mothers constant trips out with he 'special' male friends.
Though I knew the truth of my mothers promiscuous behavior and the fact that she thought I was a burden in her endeavors, still I answered with a cute, generic smile, "Nope".
....I lied
---
In eigth grade I lied to my first and only friend, Bobby, when he asked me a question that would completely change the way I thought of myself.
"Hey, Jack." Bobby inquired seriously for once, "You're not a fag, are you?"
I looked him straight in the eyes and said clearly, "No."
.....I was lying my ass off.
-----
When I turned fourteen I was beaten and mugged on my way home from the movies. Someone found me on the ground in a puddle of my own blood and called 911. When I woke up the doctor taking care of me asked if i knew who it was that assaulted me.
I didn't want to mention that the person that beat me up was Bobby, my best friend, and the last words that I heard come out of his mouth was , "I hope you die, you dirty faggot!"
So instead I opted to give the doctor a tired look and whisper, " I don't know."
... I undeniably lied.
------
A few years past and I somehow got wrapped up in my new Xiaolin world and I met a man, a man named Chase Young. I grew to idolize him, to a point that it was almost stalker-ish. Of course, Chase shows nothing but brutal, honest hate towards me and even went as far as to throw me at a T-Rex, but I still grew to love him. That was when I decided to show nothing but my undying love for him whenever I saw him. It was then after another failed attempt of gaining his attention at a showdown Kimiko asked me a question.
"God Jack!" Kimiko squawked harshly, " Why do you even try? He's never going to look at you! I mean, do you even think he'll ever even treat you as an equal, let alone LOVE you?!?!"
I gazed at her with a slightly confused look and answered , "Yes, if I try hard enough."
....That was a lie, it was a lie because I honestly didn't know the answer myself.
-------
That leads me to now. Here I am, doing the stupidest thing in the world, I was confronting Chase Young.
I was led to the throne room by one of his many cat-servants, upon entering i saw that he was not amused.
"To what do I owe a visit from an insect like you?" he sneered.
I said nothing, preparing myself for what I was about to ask.
Quietly, I looked up at his sharp, golden eyes and asked, "Chase do you, or will you ever, love me?"
His eyes at first showed a startled look of surprise before changing into a cold, harsh mask he answered, "No, I do not and will not ever love you."
But, it was too late, because I knew the truth.
.... Chase was lying.
