Hunkering Down

Words are flowing for Someone to Watch Over Me and I want to stay in the groove. :-)

So, here's a snippet to whet your appetite...

“I can’t believe we graduate in a month,” Sherrie says, applying a dark burgundy lipstick to her full lips in our bathroom mirror. “We’re going to make tonight the best night ever!” Squealing, she turns and throws her arms around me.
Though we’re not big into parties, we were invited to a party at Angelo’s old fraternity house. Angelo. My heart aches when I think of him. We haven’t seen each other or spoken since the night he kissed me two years ago. He vanished from my life. Hasn’t even come home for the holidays. Always claims work is too busy, or so Aunt Destiny tells me. Something makes me think it’s because he doesn’t want to see me. His silence broke my heart — shattered me.
The rest of that summer, I painfully replayed our kiss over and over in my head. Wondering why he kissed me. Wondering why he stopped. Wondering if I did something. Why did he throw away twenty years of friendship? Every limb, every organ, every piece of my soul hurt. A pain I wouldn’t wish on anyone.
