Confessions

Write a passage/monologue where the character is confessing a big secret

It was me who told john! Yes, it was me! I feel awful.

Samantha’s my best friend and I shouldn’t have done it! I was so confused, I couldn’t think straight. What she was doing was hurting john; they’ve been a couple for five years. How could she just betray him like that? But telling john was a huge mistake. I only meant to help! Believe me, I didn’t lie. I care for john and I told him, but I forgot I cared for Samantha so much more. I didn’t know it would hurt her, i thought she stopped loving him, but now she’s crying on my shoulder and the guilt is killing me!

John won’t tell her that it’s me who told him that she’s cheating behind his back, but I’m about to break soon. She’ll never be the same again and I’ll always be responsible. I can’t even tell john that I was just lying in a way to save Samantha from this cruelty, I cannot lie. OR maybe I can but a tiny part inside me, doesn’t even want to?

John is single again. Heartbroken but single. I was always a tiny bit jealous of the two love birds. I’ve always had a soft spot for john, so maybe I did do this intentionally.
Forgive me Samantha; for I have been a bad friend, I have been so selfish…
