So many twists and turns with an occasional lie. I can't imagine having a group of friends that were like this. Guess that is why I keep to myself most of the time. I could be a social type, but I don't like being lied to. Makes me turn green if you know what I mean. Really amazing write Shay! Love the raw emotion of this.
