Chapter 1: Beginning (Part 1)

The small white picket fence had always separated our house, but the physical boundary had done nothing to keep us apart ever since the day I was born. Now, it was all that was keeping us together.

Jace and I sat side by side on my front doorstep looking at the gravel, neither of us wanting to face what was going on next-door. This day has been looming over us like a black cloud, threatening rain, and now the icy cold downpour was upon us, and the loss of my lifetime best friend sent a chill through my cotton T-shirt, despite the August sun.

We both wore shorts. My freckly left knee pressed against his tanned right knee. My head hung heavy, causing my curly red hair to fall around my face.
