Camouflaged Truth

My cousin told my secret (A broken bond)

***

The phone was still in my hand and I was shaking uncontrollably and the tears continue to flow. I spoke to my mother like I do everyday over the phone. But today I could tell something was on her mind. Before we got off the phone she said, “Your Auntie Diane called and mentioned something about you dating a married man. Now I'm not even asking if you are because I know that you not. I know you and I know I raised a good girl and I know that you wouldn't dare have anything to do with someone else's husband. Not because you saw first hand how it broke my heart but because you have too much self respect. I just wanted to tell you the lie that your aunt told me.”

I can't stop crying...
