Carol paced the kitchen nervously, fidgeting with her coffee cup. The last two weeks had been a roller coaster of feelings and emotions.

She agreed that if I could help I was free to tell my family anything, and th...

It was during the summer between my sophomore and junior year in college that I realized that I wanted to get out of college as soon as I could. I signed up for 20 hours that fall semester and moved into a dorm room near the library. I didn’t really pay that much attention to my new roommate, Maria, since her schedule was as hectic as mine and our lives did...
"You're such a dirty liar!" I almost growled at Evelyn I was goddamn mad. "How am I liar? I'm telling you right?" She's so brazen and conveniently forgetful. "I thought that we said that it was going to be just me and you? I thought you loved me." "Donna, I love you. I'm just not ready to be monogamous and I don't think you should be either. We're young,...

The class was scheduled to end on Friday afternoon, but due to the limited number of scheduled flights back to Atlanta, I would be forced to take the “red eye”, which would arrive about 5:45am. This trip, however, luck was on my side, as the...
