“I’m up for a scholarship that’ll pay for me study abroad for four months.”
It was a lie. A big lie. Maybe one of the biggest I’ve ever told. I used to lie a lot – a childish habit commonly associated with daydreamers.
When you move around as a kid, you have the opportunity to rewrite your own history time and time again. The temptation was more than I could handle. My lies were always modest, based-on-a-true-story type lies. Nothing as extreme as this one.
This one last big lie that would set me free.
The blank stare that met my fake but nonetheless exciting news was deafening.
“So…you’re leaving?”
“I’m definitely thinking about it. I mean, it’s a great opportunity for me, don’t you think?”
“So you’re leaving.”
“Nothing is for sure yet. You’re not as excited for me as I expected.”
“You’re the one turning your back on me. What am I supposed to do? What do I mean to you if you can just run off and…”
“Do you want me to stay?”
“Please, please don’t leave me. I need you. You can’t leave me. I’ll die without you.” Desperate now. Selfish. Controlling. Terrified.
I had my answer.
So I was leaving.
