Heavy

When bearing the burden becomes too much, the vile truth is all that is left.They see my smiles. Fake!They see my confidence. It's an act!They see my control. It's the mask I wear!I have secrets. BIG secrets that not even my best friend knows about.I can never tell anyone about my vile truth, but the shame and disgust I carry are becoming too much to bear. I'm struggling to hold it all together, to maintain the image I've worked so hard to build. While I still seem to be fooling my friends, there's one person that notices my world imploding.He's the new boy, and he has all the girls fanning themselves over his panty-melting looks. I won't fall for it, though, working hard to hide the real me. When the cracks in my façade grow thick and jagged, the new boy manages to push his way past my iron-clad walls seeing right into my dark, cold heart.Why had I thought I could hide my sick twisted truth? It was only a matter of time before my control would end, and the people I should be able to trust become the people I have to run from.I am Lexi West, and this is my nightmare!
