Lyrical Lies

The ride home was awkward. Neither of us talked. I wanted to tell him about my disorder, but I was scared.

I remember when I first found out that I was different. That not everyone could see the colors and smell the smells that I could.

Heather and my mom tried to be supportive. They tried to understand.

But they couldn't.

One day when Heather and I were next door, at Gerard and Mikey's house, she accidentally told them about me.

I was so upset. I thought that by telling my secret, she had made me lose two of my best friends.

I cried for days, until finally, Gerard and Mikey came over and told me they didn't care.

They still loved me.

I felt better after that. I felt like it was okay that I was different.

But it wasn't.

Emily. She was my best friend, until I told her about me. She said she couldn't be friends with freaks.

Then, she told everyone about me.

All I had left were my mom, Heather, Gerard, and Mikey.

Now, I only have Gerard and Mikey.

What if Frank reacts like Emily?

What if all I become to him is a freak?

What if he hates me?
