Our One Night Stand

Nora knew what love was: Letting someone into your heart, your soul, your being and giving them everything. Allowing them to shine light on the dark corners of your past and trusting them with your secrets and insecurities. Knowing that at any hour, minute, or second they could crush it all in the palm of their hand, throw away what you've built, and shatter you to pieces, but trusting that they wont. Knowing that when it's all over, you'll have nothing left but wet cheeks, stabbing memories, an aching soul and a broken heart.

Nora knew all this. It scared her, no doubt, but even knowing this, knowing the pain and suffering that came with love, heart achingly real love, there was no doubt in her mind.

She would rather feel this pain and suffering for the chance to feel the high that comes with it, than continue to feel nothing at all.
