I just really need to get this off my chest……

I’m in high school now but now I feel immense guilt for something I have been leading on a while now. 3 years ago I made up this incident to my friends and classmates that when I was in 1st year I was r*ped by this particular boy multiple times…….

I knew it was wrong to make up such an accusation like that against anyone but what kept me going was how everyone showed empathy towards me which made me feel as though they cared about me so I continued lying and looking back at it now I feel so guilty cause the person who I included in my made up story he and I talk really good and he is now a changed person which makes this whole situation more fucked up.

I just hope 1 day I have courage to tell my friends that all this was made up and hopefully they’ll understand in time why I did that.
