- Prologue -

There are some things in life that are better off kept hidden, not shared with your friends, family or anyone else you are connected to. These things are often secrets that you end up keeping for years on end, just because you are uncomfortable with telling the truth from the very beginning.

That's what happened to me. Someone once told me, the best way to keep a secret is to tell no one, second best is to tell one other person if you must, but there is no third best. Maybe I should have took those words to heart more, and actually listened to them, or maybe I should have just told him everything from the very beginning and prevented all of this from happening.

I guess I'll never know if I made the right decision 9 years ago, but either way I can't stop what's happening now and the truth will come out.
