Promises Or Lies? (A Darren Espanto Story) (Book 1)

Chapter 8 ~ Competitions Tear Us Apart

Darren's POV

"This week each one of you will be picking a song, choosing you own warbrobe and perfecting everything." Mark says.

"10 of you will be leaving and 10 of you will be staying." Tara says.

"Good luck and let the games begin!" Tara said.

-----

Over the past week, we picked our songs and moved into The House. I'm sharing a room with Skylar and it hasn't been the best time ever, Maybe because we're competing against each other or something like that.

-----

"Skylar, I just think you shouldn't trust him. Kyle is not trust worthy."

"Why does it seem like everything you say is always right!?!?" She snapped at me.

"It's not!" I retorted

"Well you make it seem like it is!"

"Just trust me. Please just once!"

"Can't you just trust me?" I didn't know how to answer that because I've never actually trusted anyone.

"I didn't think so!" She yelled at me. She ran out the door with tears streaming down her face.

For once, why can't she just trust me? Sometimes, I doubt if we were actually menat to be.

Chapter 8: Broken Promises

Skylar's POV

"I wish I could break your heart

I wish I could bring you down

Just for a second, teach you a lesson about being alone in the dark

I wish I could make you cry

So hard you can barely breathe

And maybe you just might know what it feels like

Oh to be me

Well the truth is that I never ever wanna hurt you baby

But it'd be nice to know that I could

Be strong enough to pull you under, throw you back a little thunder

Even though I never would

I wish I could break, I wish I could break your heart

I wish I could crash your dreams

I wish I could turn back time

Boy, I'd lead you on, light the fuse, drop the bomb

Just so I'd be the first to leave

Well the truth is that I never ever wanna hurt you baby

But it'd be nice to know that I could

Be strong enough to pull you under, throw you back a little thunder

Even though I never would

I wish I could break, I wish I could break your heart

I wish I could break your heart

I wish I could make you cry

I wish I could turn back time

Well the truth is that I never ever wanna hurt you baby

But it'd be nice to know that I could

Be strong enough to pull you under, throw you back a little thunder

Even though I never would

I wish I could break, I wish I could break your heart

I wish I could break your heart

I wish I could break your heart" I sang

I've been sitting here for over an hour, thinking about the words he said. Were they all true? Can he really not trust me? Are his words even real anymore? Is he the Darren Espanto I know anymore?
