an excerpt..

Like this was discipline and I was the delinquent.

I had the chance. Right then, I had the goddamn window open wide enough to crawl through and be free.

But I didn’t take it.

I lied for her. Lied my ass off. Claimed I fell. Said she was overreacting. Took the spotlight and turned it into a flashlight I shined into my own face. Made myself the problem.

And she let me.

That moment cost me everything. The adults never trusted me again. From that day forward, I was the boy who cried wolf in reverse: the boy who swore the wolf never touched him, even as blood ran down his neck.

She never once thanked me for the protection I gave her. Never acknowledged that I took a fall to save her. Never noted that I continued to sit through classes and smile through teeth glued together with fear because I had lied to protect, to prove I was loyal and worthy of respect.

 I never got to go back and tell the adults the truth…..

Because after a lie like that, no one listens to the second version.

Especially when you’re a kid.

A weird kid.
