Chapter Twenty Three

   Lying is the only thing I can never stand. When you look into someone's eyes, the only wish you have inside is to see honesty, loyalty. That seems like a shelter to you.

   The only person in whose eyes I saw that sincerity was Daniel, but many years ago and not now anymore. The harm that had been done by him couldn't be forgotten. He was a liar who made me more than just a naive person. I thought that memories of our friendship were still knocking at the door of my heart. They made me open the soul to him too, but I couldn't turn back time.

   It was all gone.

   I hated to realize something didn't leave me. There was something that held me down. It was a strong feeling caused by him and his letter. DANIEL. I didn't even know how much the simple name changed my mood and the beat of my heart. Unfortunately, my inside world was too weak to withstand everything I came across and couldn't forget.

   Eric wasn't always honest either. His stories had different endings that I'd already noticed earlier. Maybe he was just reluctant to tell all the truth, but I couldn't help denying the fact I didn't know everything I should. When I tried to recollect some things about his past, I realized he kept some secrets from me. The only thing that I was certain about was my determination not to use some facts against our friendship, because no matter what he was still my friend. Eric knew that losing my trust was easy, but restoring it was almost impossible.

   Who should I believe? The guy that left me during a difficult period of my life or the other one who appeared on my way and started with telling lies. Daniel was right. I was trapped and I didn't know how to find the way out.

   I didn't sleep the whole night. With my hands on my belly, I was looking at the ceiling. Transparent tears were falling down my cheeks, and it was the proof of my constant hesitation. The question didn't let me fall asleep.

   "What if Daniel was telling the truth?"
