Summary
November 22nd 2024. Carla Connor walked into her flat, uttered the iconic line "Don't Get Dressed" and blew Lisa Swain's mind (and ours). But what if her gamble had backfired? What if...Lisa had turned her down?
Starting that infamous day, and continuing during the subsequent festive period, 'Hurt' tells the story from Carla's POV. How does she feel about being turned down? Can they go back to being friends, or has too much happened? What's been said cannot be unsaid and some things are difficult to get past.
This is a slow burn and a bit more angsty than most of my previous stories but, rest assured, there'll be some fluff coming!
