The Girl Who Stood Me Up
"You Got This"
Everything was a swirling mess. I crawled on wet pavement while drowning in a stew of whisky and regret. I was so alone, or so I believed.
Someone’s hand settled on my back. With persistence, they helped me to stand up. My eyes met theirs. Eyes filled with warm kindness.
"You got this," She smiled.
Turning away, I began to throw up what felt like years of anger and self-pity. When I was finished, she was gone. I gave up alcohol right then and there. I don’t know her name, but I'll never forget the girl who stood me up.
