“Lacey, I need to talk to you about something.”

“Anything, Adam, you know I am always going to be here for you.”

“I know. Lace, I just can’t help myself but to remember what I went through. I mean, I know that I would never consider taking my life ever again, but I…I”

“Why don’t you just tell me why you were…uhmm..well, suicidal.”

A huge part of me wanted to tell Lacey everything, but I wasn’t sure how to put it in words. I didn’t want to scare her with the truth, but I didn’t want to snow her over with more lies…so many lies, told to me by my parents, therapist, even, hell, the lies i told myself. For once I just wanted the truth, and I knew when Lacey told me she loved me, it was the truth.
