Lies

Monique tried to hold it together as she continued to drive home. She was glad she didn’t have far to go. Her chest hurt and her eyes burned from unshed tears. She blinked and taking a deep shuddering breath, blew it out again. As she did she considered, knowing what she did now, what else had she been told that wasn’t the truth. And this was the thing that hurt her the most. In one swipe, their relationship was changed forever. The lie she had just discovered wasn’t huge but its implications were massive. She knew she would not only question everything she had been told but everything she would be told from here on out. A trust had been broken and it would not be easily repaired, if that were possible at all. At that point, she wasn’t sure it was. It felt like something within her was dying and unable to hold it in anymore she pulled over to the side of the road and laying her head on her arms on the steering wheel she cried as her heart broke.
