"Pretty Lies, Ugly Truths."
⚲ Chicago, Illinois. ✞ ˎˊ˗
Omniscient
DIOR STARED at Keyz, but he couldn't look at her.
He knew if he did, he'd be on his knees and Keyz didn't want to be.
"Is that why you... moved in with me?" Her voice was softer than he'd ever heard it.
She sounded so... broken.
Dior felt her heart ache. Was it even real?
Keyz let his head fall, eyes closing as a tear dripped down onto the hospital floor.
He had hoped she wouldn't ask that question.
"Answer me." Dior demanded shakily.
"Answer me!" She screamed, almost scaring herself.
She couldn't hold back the anger boiling inside her chest.
The betrayal. The pain.
She wanted to rip her heart out and throw it at him.
Keyz let out a sob at her scream, hearing her sound so broken.
He broke her.
Keyz lifted his head up, staring at the wall.
"Yes," He whispered, "But it wasn't the only reason."
Dior shook her head, looking down at her trembling hands. The tears blurred everything, falling one by one onto her lap.
How could he do this to me...
She bit her lip hard to stop the sob from ripping out her chest.
"You lied to me... You said you loved me."
Keyz slowly turned his head, eyes puffy and red, watching her shake her head as she stared down at her hands.
"I do love you, baby g. I love you so fucking much," He whispered, voice breaking.
Don't call me that... don't fucking call me that, Dior closed her eyes.
"Lies," She cried out, lifting her head to meet his gaze. "Lies!"
Dior sobbed as flashes of their memories ran through her mind. The laughs. The late-night talks. The way he held her like she was his world.
Was all that fake too?
Keyz wanted to hold her, wipe her tears, and tell her everything would be okay.
But he knew she wouldn't let him.
His heart felt heavy, like bricks stacked on his chest.
Dior stared at him with pure disgust.
"You could've told me! I fucking would've understood! You got me walking around without you beside me and now look. Look!" She motioned around the hospital room, tears falling harder. "I am in here and my friend is dead!"
"My sister is gone..." Her voice cracked as realization crushed her chest.
Keyz let her scream at him, silent tears streaming down his face.
Dior grabbed the nuggets off her tray and threw them at him. "How could you! How could you!"
Keyz sniffled, tears dripping onto his shirt.
