She Asked for It

the long version

It was only a little lie. That’s how stories like these get started. But every lie I told, he saw through it. I think in his heart he knew I was broken; he felt my pain as if it was his. And that’s what changed everything. He’s the reason it all fell apart. Sometimes it’s a single moment that alters everything in existence. Sometimes it’s the fall of dominoes, lined up in a pretty little row and designed so that each one will cause more and more pain. In a single day, it’s all changed, and there’s no way to take it back. I didn't know what would happen. But secrets and lies ruin everything.
