![]() Crashing Together
-- EXCERPT: Addi “You’re in over your head and you know it.” Leigh lifts her frozen margarita to her lips and eyes me over the sugar rim. “I am not.” I roll my eyes and look around the smoky bar. I don’t know why I even let Leigh talk me into coming here. It’s dark, a little sketchy, and the millions of fog machines fill the place with smoke so thick you’d think they allowed cigarettes in here. “You’re in denial, Addi. You can’t even look at me.” I snap my eyes back to her. “It’s hard to see with all this smoke.” I wave my hand around for dramatic effect. I’m so in denial but she doesn’t need to know that. Leigh laughs and rolls her eyes. “Yeah okay girl, whatever you say.” “The drinks are delicious though.” I raise my glass before bringing to my lips to it, licking the sugar rim. It’s as if a storm is brewing, ready to take over at any minute, inside my belly. Awake at night, I stare at the ceiling as it flips and twists, growing worse. The storm named Cole. He fills my bloodstream, running through my veins, and follows me everywhere I go. No matter what I do, I can’t stop it. I was a fool thinking I could and I’m a fool now as I sit here and let it happen. I’m falling hopelessly in love with Cole. It’s unreal, consuming, and lighting me on fire from within. I’ve never felt anything like it before. The more I see him, the more I want. And Leigh is absolutely correct. I’m in over my fucking head. ![]()
