Dearest ex-friends,

My mom let me stay at the house the next day. She just refused to talk to me. Both of you seemed in your own world. You laughed at jokes I didn't understand. I asked you if you wanted to go on a date that night, Ian, but you said you were busy hanging with your parents.

But they were never home, Ian.

I knew you were lying. But I know that everything can't be about me. But still, why not tell me the truth? Oh, that's right, because the truth broke my heart.

Remember,
Laila
