"Babe"
A rock smashed through his window and woke him and the girl next to him up. “What was that?” “I don’t know,” He said, puzzled and afraid. The perpetrator panted outside after throwing the rock. She quickly glanced in and ran away. She got home, sat on the floor as she looked through her messages and remembering what happened that night. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Babe,” He said, and tried to hug her. She was shocked, knowing well enough that he would never call her ‘babe’, and that he called a close female friend of his ‘babe’ when they were having dinner with his friends that night. “Who do you think I am?” She struggled out of his embrace. “I…” He rolled over to the other side of the bed, still recovering from the alcohol consumption. She sat up, looked outside the window and saw the clear moon. The sky was clear, but her heart started to fill up with sorrow and resentment. ---------------------------------...
