Prologue
His name echoes in the dark recesses of my mind. Clayton. Even now, the sound of his name can give light to a darkened day. It seems as though it's been a thousand years but that isn't possible...is it? Who truly knows for sure? Maybe he does. Maybe he's still out there somewhere, counting the time. But I doubt it. If he were still out there he would have come back to me. But he hasn't yet returned, so he must not be of this earth anymore.
I remember that summer well. It was both the best and worst summer of our teenage lives. But it ended up being the worst dummer of my entire life. Tears would fall, screams would rise, and we would lose one of our own. But no matter how much we fought against it, that summer would stay in our memories forever. None of us would ever forget that night. And no matter what, we couldn't fight what had happened. She was dead and we couldn bring her back.
She was my own flesh and blood. They killed her without mercy. But her death wasn't their only crime. Their last mistake was framing him for her murder. Nevertheless, they went to jail for their crimes. But I was forced to leave town soon after. And when I finally returned, he wasn't there. I wonder now if he left because this town held all of our memories. No one will tell me why he left. They'll only tell me that he left with a heavy heart two years before I returned. Why did he leave? The question lingers in my mind as I think of him now.
Now, I sit in the spot we came to so many times during the three years we were together. It is an old abandoned house near the ocean. Clayton and I had fixed it up the first summer that we were together. We used the house as a hide-out and a place to be alone. My grandfather owned the house, and he gave it to me. I now live it that house. It looks out over the ocean. I sleep in the same room that we slept in that summer. Sometimes, at night, I imagine that he is still here with me. But he is not. No, he left here a long time before I came back. Now he will never return. I will be forced to live without him for therest of my life.
I loved and i lost. Now I will tell the story of that summer.. the truth that was kept a secret will come out. And now, you'll find out what truly happened. I loved him and because of the events that happened that night, I was torn away from him. Whose side will you choose? Ours or theirs? Remember, we are innocent.
