So I asked her. And there began the most wonderful three months of my life. They were also the last three months of my life. For that whole summer, we were best friends and lovers. We did our best to keep it a secret, but it was a small town.
Rumors spread again.
Everything was fine until our last night together. She was leaving for M.I.T. the next day, so maybe we were a little careless. That's when it all came crashing down. A hand breaks free, an arm, my head. I take a deep breath.
