Bruises Of The Heart

Harley

Harley was very creative , and strong until it came to men , well one in particular . Nobody ever understood why she was just all for him , loyalty was everything to her . One thing she hated , was being lied to , she felt as if you can tell any truth she'd be hurt of course but at least she wouldn't look stupid in the end. That's what made her nuts about this football star , they talked on and off , didn't really have much of a choice , out of the whole 2-3 years he told her "I love you " once but she had never said it , but he knew. She was perfectly fine with it , because she knew him like she knew the back of her hand , and every time they where side by side , she studied the details of his face , the roughness of his hands , the hair on his scalp , and his entire body. She always told herself she would never talk to someone her age , due to the fact they where extra childish , and not fully mature , but he was a deal breaker . The only thing that was wrong in the past is that he had  a girlfriend , but now he was single and that alone made her extactic . To her he was a trophy , one that you couldn't make in factories or find on the shelf , he knew exactly what he wanted in life and he went after it . Despite all the dumb stuff that had ever happened he always apologized and explained hisself at the time he didn't know she was paying attention to any of that , but she paid attention to everything. After high school he went away to college , but come December 30th he'd be back in town and she would waist know time. Could it be a "us" she thought . Know one knew what the future held .
