Is a liar capable to transform themselves out of this continuous habit?
I get a phone call from him.
It is a little past nine o'clock.
I just put handfuls of shampoo in my hair, to make a volcano upon my head.
My mom decides to hand me the home phone
while I am INSIDE the shower.
I hold the palm of my hand, to one ear,
so I can hear from the other.
He is breathing heavily.
"Whats wrong?" i ask.
"The cops are after me"
I start to cry.
There is a short response
followed by deep breaths,
"I have been dealing for the past month."
I am silent.
"Rachel, to be honest
I have not been to school much.
Dealers rip me off so I beat them up.
I need the money." He takes another breath,
"I delete numbers and texts
from everyone, boys and girls.
When I hardly respond,
I am either in the middle of dealing,
or am in the car with some hustlers.
I would not let you in my wallet
because there is heroin inside."
He takes another deep breath and continues
"I did not want you to know.
I did not want to hurt you."
"My trust for you is close to none.
You knew it would hurt me.
And you still did it anyways?"
At this point, I am crying uncontrollably.
"What MORE have you lied about?"
He tells me there is nothing else he has lied about.
Is he lying about not lying?
