Creative Writing: Why Did He Lie

Why did he lie? Those were the four words I kept asking myself. I found out Jerry lied. He had no mother, he had no skates. So many things were going through my mind, “why did he lie,” I kept asking myself while tears started going down my left cheek. I looked up into the sky being reminded of Jerry’s beautiful blue eyes. I get to my cabin, I look to the right and see Jerry sitting down next to the chimney. Therefore, I asked him “why did you lie?” He didn't respond with a single word. I can see his eyes getting watery.

Next, Jerry gets up with tears coming down his eyes, looking straight down. He walks out with me not knowing to go with him or staying. I then see something next to my dog Luna, it was a letter. My hands were shaking
as I reached out for the note. Furthermore, I was about to read when I heard someone outside looking for Jerry. I go outside and see a small boy with hazel hair, about 7 to 9 years old. He tells me “Jerry left, he escaped.” I froze, I didn't know what to do. For a moment, I get on my knees and start crying. It all just seemed like it was my fault.

Then, Lucia the lady who told me Jerry lied gets to my house yelling at me, telling me how it was all my fault. I decided to go look for Jerry. By that time, the sun was going down already. The birds were heading north. I took the whole night looking for him, but had no luck. By this point I felt like I lost everything. Jerry meant everything to me and without him I was nothing.

I felt worthless. Till this day I look up at the sky being reminded of Jerry’s blue eyes. I found the note Jerry left. It said “ I lied to you, I know. But I can explain. Listen, I appreciate everything you did for me. I thought nobody will ever adopt me. I didn't want you to feel sorry for me. I can't see you again after what I did. I am sorry”. Everything made sense now, I said with a trail of tears coming down my eyes. Jerry’s blue eyes will be an image I will forever have.
