"Mom, Dad, can you both tell me a lie?" I asked my parents who immediately looked at me.
They both smiled and said together, "You are our daughter."
I forced a smile at them as my heart broke pieces by pieces. Yeah, I'm not their daughter. I'm just adopted.

"Aria, can you tell me a lie?" I asked my bestfriend whose busy scrolling up and down on her phone.
She looked at me, "A lie? Hmmm." She put her index finger on her center as if she's thinking.
"Well, I don't want you to get out of my life." She said that makes my heart broke again.
"Okay," I forced a smile as I slowly walked away from her.
Aria has found new friends so she don't need me anymore. She wants me to get out of her life and so I did.

"Babe, can you tell me a lie?" I asked my boyfriend. He immediately stop on what he's doing and looked at me.
He didn't speak for a while as he looked at me with a apologetic look. From the look he's giving me, I knew already what he's gonna say but I still waited for him to answer. How pathetic I was.
He sighed and said, "I love you."
Even if I knew it already, it still breaks my heart knowing that my boyfriend, the man who makes me happy, the man who promised to love me forever, doesn't love me anymore. No scratch that. He never loved me and it was all a lie.
My tears started to roll down from my eyes as I looked at him.
"I'm sorry, Trish." He said apologetically.
But I just smiled at him even if my tears filled my eyes. "It's okay Ace. I know. You don't love me anymore——no scratch that, you never did love me because you love my sister." I said which makes him shocked.
Yeah, he loves my sister. My adoptive parents biological daughter.
I found about it weeks ago because I heard them talking at my sister's birthday. I heard him saying that he's just using me to get near to my sister.
Ace looked down at his feet. "I'm sorry, Trish. I'm really really sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.." He said not looking at me.
"No, you're not Ace. And you already hurt me from the beginning....." I said, shocked that I didn't stuttered.
Ace raised his head and looked at me. He was about to approached me but I step backwards.
"No. Don't come near me." I whispered. "And please, don't you ever try to explain. Because I understand. I understand that you don't love me because I'm just an orphan, an adopted kid or anything you want to call me." I added.
Ace didn't speak but just looked at me with those lier eyes.
"And I'm sorry if you don't love me. I'm sorry if I make you suffer when you're with me..." I forced a smile at him as I continued. "Now, I'm letting you go. You're free." I said for the last time as I started and slowly walked away from him, from everyone.
I've had enough of everything. So it's time for me to go. To leave this unfair world.
