Pretty lies and broken promises.
That's all her life was. The pretty lies she used to buy had now turned into broken promises. Those around her made promises they could not keep and she found the truth behind the lies she was once told.
It doesn't make anything easier knowing that they lied to her to make her life a better place, she'd rather have the unkempt promises of today; at least she knows she can only rely on herself.
Those pretty lies she was told, life's harsh realities and the destructions of the world kept from her so that they could enjoy her innocent naivety and make sure their precious doll was never broken.
The irony wasn't lost on her. They tried to keep her safe and stop others from breaking her, and now they were the ones who were breaking their promises and lying to her to see her fall. But now that's all she had from others was broken promises that meant nothing to them, but try as she may she had never imagined this would become her life.
She kept to herself over the summer and when she came back she'd changed. Past lies and promises forgotten. She didn't need them any more; they could see that she'd moved on. The pretty lies and broken promises they had given her were now all they had as links to her and their past.
There was no changing the fact that they were the ones behind her cause of change. They didn't know whether she'd figured out their pretty lies or been let down by their broken promises. But one thing they did know she'd never be able to be one of them again, not after what they had done to her.
Another small one shot, I'm working myself up to do a full-length story. Hope you enjoyed, reviews would be nice but its your choice.
