Lies. The thing about lies is that eventually you stop questioning if they're telling the truth because deep down you know the answer. And when the person is finally honest that's when it ends. I've never been the most honest person and I believed that if you told a lie for a good reason then it wasn't really bad.

But somehow that very concept got ruined, I can't untell all the lies I've told maybe it was because I was so good at lying that could tell when someone was lying to me. If someone told me they've never told a lie I would believe that was a lie. Lying to people is bad but lying to yourself is worse because deep down inside you know the truth.

"We should break up" I said expressionless as if I didn't even care about the 3 years we've together.

He stood there looking at me in awe "Fine, but it wasn't just my fault in fact it's all your fault," He said angrily. I could tell he wanted do something else but we were just standing in an awkward silence. "I'm going to move out," I said maintaining my expressionless face and voice.

"So you're gonna leave huh? fine,"he said angrily. I know I probably hurt him but I don't care. He licked up my clothes and threw them out the door, he picked up my phone and threw. 'that *sshole'. I stared at him with my expressionless and smirked and laughed. "hahaha! I'm going to find someone better then you, someone that would never cheat on me and lie, someone who actually cares out me and someone wants more than just sex. Oh and someone that cleans up after themselves unlike you who's gross as hell and leaves their underwear everywhere,"I said angrily. 'this is a lie"

I clenched my fist so hard that I could feel my fingernails digging into the palm of my hands. I can see that Leon is thinking about something to say, I pick up my phone it's cracked 'Shit' I turn around to the door to get my clothes.

Until I hear "You'll never find someone better then me once they find out about who you really are. You're the disgusting one Neal. Not me. I know that you were cheating and I knew that you were cheating the whole time with someone named Eli" He sinisterly said.

'he knew? Does that mean he knows? He can't know'. I walk out of the apartment and he slammed the door. 'how did it get like this? How did we get like this? Wait! How did I get like this?'

Neal was 14 he was in middle school, he was a very silent kid, he didn't really talk to anyone and he didn't have any friends. His dad left when he was 10 and his mother took care of him by herself.

"Neal sweetheart, Mom met a new special someone and you can now have a little brother" Mom said in a sweet loving voice. 'A brother? A father'. "We're going out to dinner so dress nice" Neal's mom said while looking at herself in the mirror. Neal's mom was pretty in fact gorgeous like mother like son Neal got that from his mother he also got her bright blue eyes.

"okay" Neal responded back nonchalantly. Lee put on a white dress shirt black pants and added a black jacket. He shoved his Nintendo 3DS in his pocket so he wouldn't be bored. His mom was dressed in red with bright red lipstick, dark eyeshadow around her eyes. "You're ready. let's go" Mom said excited.

The went to a fancy restaurant where rich people go 'So he's rich' "Reservation?" the server said. "Yes it's under Lee" Mom responded with a smile. "Right this way please." the server said leading them to the table.

Neal's mom was dating a CEO Mark Lee, he's one of the richest men alive. He is CEO of pharmaceutical companies but he is well known for Viagra.

Neal see's a man with black hair and dark black eyes and spots a boy sitting next to him, he black hair just like his father but instead of having dark black eyes like his father his eyes are warm grey.

"Hi mark! Hi Eli!" Mom said giving Mark a kiss on a his cheek and Eli a warm hug. "This is my son Neal you and Eli are close in age so you should get along just...fine"Mom said with a bright smile. Neal could tell that his mother wanted to make in impression. "Hi" Neal said bluntly. 'The son looks like his father more ways then one but something's off"

"Hi Neal! it's nice to meet you I hope we can get along as a family that would mean so much to me and to all of us" The man said kindly. Eli's dad was looking at him waiting for him to say something "Hi I'm Eli I'm older then you so call me hyung"He said with a slight smile. This remark made the adults laugh but this made Neal uncomfortable 'I don't like him nope he's weird' Neal pulls out his Nintendo and starts playing it. Neal's mom looks at him "Put that away dear" She said in the kindest way possible trying to hide her anger. "No this is boring"Neal said nonchalantly knowing this would her mad and Mr. Lee wary and Eli uncomfortable. 'There let's see what happens now'

Present day

I have no place to go except for my parents house. I wish I didn't have to go and all my other choices aren't good ones either. Maybe I should call mom to see if she is there. "Hi Mom I know it's been a while since I last called" I said in the nicest way possible. "Hey Neal it has been a while are you coming over to see us" Mom said ecstatic.

"Yes, I miss spending time with you and dad" I said happily. 'Lie'. "See you in 20 minutes."I said hanging up my phone. I have a brother but I'm not calling him and he doesn't live with my mom and dad anymore he moved out. I have only met him once and Leon knew but ever since then we didn't even talk he was planning to become the CEO of dad's company and I'm still in college. I want to become a doctor but at this rate it's not going to happen.

I'm standing alone on the street and I'm shivering because of the cold. I don't even have a jacket.

'How did I get like this'

7 years ago

Mr. Lee and Neal's mom Kate hot married that same year and moved into the same house.

Neal is in his playing video games. Knock Knock. Neal didn't answer because he didn't understand why the person was knocking. They opened the door it was Eli. Neal wasn't phased at all when Eli came in. "What are you playing" he asked. no response. "What are you doing?" he said again. 'I want to know what he's like when he's mad' this sparked in idea into Eli's head. Eli scratched himself with his fingernails causing him to bleed "Ahh" he screamed in pain. Mom came running "What happened?"She panicked. "Neal what did you do? did you scratch him?" His mom asked. Eli was smiling in the background. Eli thought 'He's smiling why?'. Eli didn't say anything and his mom took his silence for a yes he did scratch Eli. "I'm sorry Eli, Neal didn't mean to let me put a band aid on it"She said with a smile.

"We'll talk later Neal" Mom said disappointed. Eli was disappointed 'No reaction looks like I'll find another way' he thought.

Eli's weird I never really liked him but he makes me uncomfortable but I just ignore him.

2 weeks later..

Eli has brought at least 6 girls this week, Eli's room and Neal's room are next door to the walls. Neal wondered if the walls were to thin or to loud.

"We're studying" Eli told Mom and Mr.Lee. 'you're not studying' Neal thought. Eli smiled at Neal. 'he's so weird'. Neal went to his room and started reading. Thud! Thump! Ahh!

Those are the noises Neal kept hearing next door. Neal didn't know what they were doing whatever it was it wasn't studying 'Why did he smile'. Neal wanted to know what they were doing.

He walked out of his room and went to Eli's room. Neal didn't like knocking you either lock the door or don't Neal entered the room silently and he just stood there. The girl didn't have any clothes on and she was on top of Eli, and Eli wasn't wearing any clothes. Eli saw Lee standing there and he smiled the girl was moaning "hmm. ahhh hmmph ngnh". The girl saw Neal standing there and she panicked "Oh my god! your little brother is here I thought you locked the door" The girl panicked and covered herself with the cover. "I thought I locked it" he winked at Neal. "Disgusting" Neal said and left.

The adults wanted to eat dinner with the girl Neal just sat there watching Eli lie about what they were doing.

This happened six times

1 week later...

Eli just barged into Neal's room. Neal didn't look up at him he continued playing his game.

"Why don't you talk?"Eli said annoyed. Eli threw his Nintendo on the ground. Neal was irritated. "You called me disgusting. Why?" He said laughing. Neal is getting very irritated. "You sat there and watched so aren't you disgusting". Neal balled up his fist, "You don't talk and you look down on me why?" He taunted.

"Get out of my room now" Neal yelled at him. Eli smiled "I got a reaction" he said. Neal slapped Eli. "You're weird and disgusting stay away from me" He yelled. Eli didn't move, Neal bit his arm "Ahh" Eli yelled in pain this time it was real. His arm was dripping blood 'it tastes terrible'. Neal's mom and Eli's dad saw the blood and rushed over to Eli. "Neal why did you do this?" She said concerned. Eli's dad looked at Neal with disappointed. 'I shouldn't have done that'. Eli left the room with his dad and his mom stayed.

"Why did you do that? hmm tell me now" Neal's mom said angrily. "He's weird and he makes me uncomfortable I don't like it" Neal said looking at his mother. "Fine. just stay away from him don't cause any problems for Mark" His mom said looking at him with sad eyes. 'I hate this'

This was the last time he fought with Eli
