  • Off Your Chest

    “You need to talk about it.  Keeping it inside is never going to help.”  Nathan started reaching out his hand and I recoiled. I couldn’t even believe he was trying to reconcile with me. And touch me? That would never happen again. I didn’t even want to think about what I would do if he…

  • Love and Lust

    Jacoby always presented me with a totally different kind of problem.  The kind of problem that wouldn’t ever leave my mind.  All day, all night, every single minute.  I don’t know how he had managed to worm his way into my life but here we were. It is safe to say I am obsessed. But…

  • Nabbed, Grabbed and Sneaked

    The day I found my mother going through the boxes in my closet was the day I knew I had to move out.  At nineteen, I knew it was time and it had been time for a while, but I had been hoping to save a little more money before I made the transition.  My…

  • The Earthquake

    “The very best part was when the curtain then fell off the wall and he didn’t even know we had curtains.  He stared at them like they came from space.”  I blabbed on about my how ex-boyfriend had reacted to the most recent, but small earthquake we experienced.  I didn’t even have time to get…

  • I Remember Everything

    I remember everything about the night Randall left. Every single detail. He had told me was just going out for a run and two weeks later, he was still gone. I knew by his demeanor something was going on, that something was happening. He usually didn’t go running on a Saturday afternoon, much less after…

  • Lost at Sea

    When Jaren ran away, I knew things would go downhill.  And fast.  He was the glue that held our group together and his absence was shocking.  I found myself drifting like I was lost at sea without an anchor.  I didn’t know what to do or where to go. Until today, I hadn’t realized how…

  • Broken

    “I am broken,” I whispered.  “I don’t know what to do next.  Where to go.”  I wanted to know what to do, where to go, but I didn’t know how to start.  My heart was breaking and I was on the verge of tears.  I wanted to start over – needed to start over –…

  • Harmless as a Fly

    Everyone always thought that because I was short, I was harmless.  They just didn’t know about my bite.  Not many people had seen me at the height of my anger because it took me a long time to get there. Only a handful of people had ever seen me angry and no one believed them –…

  • Almost Sure

    “Are you sure you want to go along with this?  I mean, it seems like it is all a little sudden.  No one has even met Roger.  Are you sure you’re sure?”  Taylor continued to bumble over her words as she tried to chide me about my newfound decisions.  My newfound love.  Bad news for…

  • Mistakes

    “Seriously.  Forget it.  Let’s pretend like it never happened?”  I crossed my fingers under the table and hoped Bruce would just agree nothing had happened.  I was too embarrassed to talk about anything further.  I only knew I had thought he was along the lines I was thinking, but after tonight, apparently I was mistaken. …
