Deidra wanted to have a normal college experience just like everyone else, but the last thing she had anticipated was her fourth grade bully to come running back into her life asking her for help. Inheritance clauses, last-minute wills, and a free ticket for her undergrad years to be paid in full?

It Had to Be You

“Hello…? Wes…? Did you butt dial me? Really, dude…today of all days?”


Perhaps it was a bad idea to talk to her while my brain was turned into putty and oozed out of every open orifice on my face. But, the moment I heard her sleep-addled voice, it felt like the overcast of all my troubled thoughts had parted and hope had managed to crack in sunshine bright. The freak squall I carried in me ever since the crash lessened to a harrowed whimper, and it felt good.
