Light Behind the Lies

He said he'd always be there for her, even if he wasn't always around..

My mother left me and my dad when I was three. I spent my childhood believing that women could not be trusted and that I needed to proceed with caution.

Until high school that is.

Suddenly as a teenager, girls were throwing themselves at me. Call it puberty or clear disinterest in them that left most pining for me.

By the time I got to college, I had reveled in it.

I had no feelings, no emotions with them, I'd give them a quick ride, then send them on their way.

Except one.

My best friend's sister.

One might say that I was the perfect daughter and sister.

I did everything right until I didn't.

I never expected to fall for a guy like my ex-boyfriend and the ramifications of that relationship's demise would change my life forever.

That's one of the reasons why I became a flight attendant. I craved to have my freedom back.

It wasn't until I finally felt like everything was under control and that I had things figured out, that my life would truly be turned on its side.

And the only one I have to blame is my brother's best friend.
