In Love With My Bully
Cole Harrington
I couldn’t sleep last night. Every time I closed my eyes, Nicola’s face flashed before me, her expression a mix of hurt and resignation that I couldn’t shake. My words hung in the air, a ghost I couldn’t escape. I checked my watch, the time ticking away as I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, waiting for the night to end. When my phone finally binged, announcing the arrival of a new day, I saw it was almost eight.
