True Lies
Everyday in our life, we come across many decisions to make. Often the most common problem that we face is whether to tell the truth or to forge a lie. In most cases, truths are hurtful, while lies, no matter how innocent they may seem, are the most blatant truths. If I said that I have never lied in my life, then I would be lying to you right now, but there is an extent in which 1 would lie. I really do not wish to judge someone else by the things that they say, but it is difficult for me not to. And honestly speaking, I hate it when people lie to me.

Anyway, the story goes. My ex (referred to in this instance as A) and I have not been in contact for a long time. That is until we met on MSN oneday and started to talk. It was all very casual and nothing particularly scandalous. But somehow the topic came about to whether we were seeing other people at the moment. I said I was not, which was true, while A avoided the question initially. I assumed that A was from the answers, however, A denied. A very confident "NO, means NO" was the reply I received. It shouldn't mean anything and it did not to me back then. Things were left as they were since my exams were just round the corner.

So my exams were finally over, and I started to do things that I have missed out during the past 2 months. I caught up with old friends, read some of my friend's blogs and found out stuff. And we started talking again since the last time. So it happened that A was supposed to be in the school pageant and asked me to vote, which I did as a favour. Then, the funny thing happened. I received a message from some unknown person B through my mail. Initially, I was like thinking, why would some unknown person message me asking if I knew A. Anyway, out of courtesy I decided to respond to the message. So there were a few exchange of mail and it turns out that B was A's bf and that they have been together for over a year. Those words shocked me and I just realised that A had been lying to me.

And I guess that I was not the only one being lied to. Apparently, B was not encouragous of A joining the pageant, and decided to find out whether A had been unfaithful to him. I guess, to a certain extend that B should not be checking up on A for it is a blatant display of distrust. But B had been suspicious of A for quite some time. So B started to ask me more about me and A and some other stuff. I was very reluctant to tell B anything, for 1. I do not know him well at all.
2. A and I were afterall friends and I do not want to be a backstabber. Thus, I told B to tell me what he knew of A and of me, and I would compare A's story and my own. I may not tell B what I know, but at least it is a way for me to judge A's character. Sad to say, there were many lies A told to B, and there were many lies A said to me. A now thinks that I have been a back stabber and trying to ruin their relationship, which I did not and m not.

I m utterly disappointed by all these. For 1, A has been lying not only to me but also to B. I m not related to A in any way and lying to me shdn't affect me. But the fact that A lied to B. I mean flirting behind someone's back while in a relationship just makes you a whore. No one is appreciative of that, and worst of all, when found guilty of the deeds, you actually have the guts to point your fingers at someone else who is an innocent by-stander. Go to hell you Whore!!! From what I have seen so far, B may be overly protective and is on the jealous side, but he has spent alot of effort trying to maintain this relationship and you go around like a social butterfly and lying to the people around. Who do you think you are to treat people the way you did? I seriously hope you go to hell.

Anyway, as angry as I m, I think I m fortunate to find out the truth behind the facade that you have put up. You may want to protect yourself and be the centre of attraction, but the number of people you hurt along the way is amazing. It's ok for what goes around wil come around. I wish you the best of luck for you will need it.
