I
have told lies, yes, all of us have lied. Yet, when
the truth is found out, it hurts. I'm sure many people
know that. I lied to my parents so many times. Maybe
they did know I was lying. But I lied. All I wanted
was a boyfriend. Someone that would hold me when I felt
down. Someone that would give me attention. My parents
didn't want me to have anything to do with the opposite sex.
So I lied so many times just to keep all my relationships a
secret. Somehow I always found a way to see my boyfriend.
I couldn't even call guys on the phone, so sometimes while my
parents were gone, I would call him. We went on a field
trip for school one day. We came back around 4:30 pm.
I called home and my parents weren't there. My sister
didn't want to pick me up so she told me to walk. I walked
with my boyfriend down a path that not many cars go by (I was
very self-conscious about keeping this a secret.) We went
under a bridge and started kissing. We kissed for the
longest time and it started to get late. I didn't want
to go home because I know I would have to tell my parents another
lie and I couldn't take it anymore. My boyfriend got worried
and said I should go home, but I refused to. I had no
excuse to tell my parents this time- no lies that I could make
up. I made up my mind to run away. I couldn't live
the life my parents wanted me to. I was very serious about
this, but of course my boyfriend wouldn't allow me to run away.
But I didn't know what to do. It got darker outside and
I know my parents where worried but I was afraid to go home
and I started to cry, I had nowhere to turn. My boyfriend
and I started walking toward the creek and he calmed me down.
We started to kiss again, very heavily. Then I heard someone
say my name. It pierced my heart and I didn't move.
My boyfriend took his hands off from around me. Then I
heard the words "sir, would you please go home."
He left and I stood there. It was my dad. I couldn't
even look at him. I just started crying and I fell to
the ground.
