My Boyfriend Is a Celebrity_ but I_ve Never Seen His Face

One day, I got bored sitting at home and decided it was the perfect day to meet up with Jake.

I dialed his number and asked if he wanted to hang out.

But instead of his usual upbeat voice, I heard Jake coughing.

I'm really sick.

I'm definitely not up to going out today.

Of course, I was disappointed, but I decided not to pressure him.

Get well soon.

I went out for a walk alone because staying at home felt even worse.

I was just wandering down the street, trying not to think about how much I missed Jake.

As I was passing my classmate Ashley's house, I suddenly heard loud laughter and some familiar voices.

I looked into the backyard

and literally froze

when I saw Jake in the pool with Ashley.

They were laughing and playing around in the water.

He had his arms around her, and it was obvious there was nothing innocent about it.

In that instant, something inside me just snapped.

A second later, I was standing by the pool, yelling at Jake.

I was furious and felt betrayed.

So this is you being sick, huh? At first, Jake tried to mumble some excuses.

But then he just gave up and admitted he'd been lying to me for a long time and that he and Ashley had been seeing each other.

I walked away without even letting him finish because I couldn't stand being near them any longer.

From that moment on, lies became something like a personal enemy to me.

I started seeing them everywhere, even where they didn't exist, and it changed me deeply.
