This is the time when I realized that lying can get you know where. If you lie so much no one will believe you when you’re telling the truth. The day that I said that someone was trying to get in my window, I thought why did I lie about all the others things in my life in the first place. Was it to get attention? Or was it for fun? All my lies took the place of my personality and now there is no truth in me now. That’s not a good example I am showing to other people. After this moment I knew lying was a bad idea. 2012, It was about 2:30 in the afternoon. I was trying to create things as usual. My mom, Barbara, called us for dinner. We all went to the dining room and ate. After that I went to the living room and sat there and watched TV. Then… My mom called “NICHOLE!” I got up and went to the room. Then I seen the mess I had forgot to pick up. I tried to deny the mess but nothing can get by my mom. So I confessed.

I got grounded for the rest of the day. I was upset. What’s the point of telling the truth if you get in trouble for doing it? Then it was time for bed, 8:30. I and my sister went to bed and sometimes she gets scared at night so she likes to sleep with me in my bed. I was dreaming and woke up from the sound of scratching on the wall. My bed is right next to the window. The window is at the bottom of my bed. I thought that I was dreaming I didn’t think much of it. Until I heard the window trying to be broken into. My heart started beating really fast. I was so afraid. Who is that? What do you want? I thought to myself. So I froze and didn’t move. Then…… The window opened. I pretended to be asleep. Then I felt someone step on the foot of my bed. Then, whatever it was, stepped out then closed the window back up.

That was my chance. I grabbed my sister by the arm. Technically I was dragging her because she was knocked out. I said to my mom hat there is someone in my window. She wasn’t even sleeping and it was like 3:00 in the morning. She was up texting. I would expect that. Then she went to the room with a knife. No one was there. She thought I was lying again. Then she took precaution any way and let us sleep in her room. So we did. Five minutes later my step father called and said that he wanted my mom back. That he couldn’t live without her. And he also said that his tire popped and he needed her help fixing it.

We met him at these old apartments. He was crying. He was also drinking. I felt really bad. My mom was telling him to stop that she is only here to fix his car. We fixed his car and left. My mom felt bad too. I could tell because she was acting like nothing happened. She thought that not thinking about something everything will be fine. She was wrong.

Do you see what lying gets you? No one will believe you. With my situation and my parents. It not good to lie next thing you know you will be on the street and telling lies to everyone.
