It's all fake. Every smile I fronted. Every laugh I forced. Every "Thank you" to a compliment. The sickly sweet words may drip from their lips like honey but the sarcastic glint in their eyes show it all.

My eyes pace her words, searching for a note of dishonesty. None of it. None of it. None of it. None of it. It was never once fake. Her words knock the wind out of me. A blow to the gut followed by a tender kiss to my lips and a soft hug.

~ She was the first.
