Nelly's Perspective
The rain softly falls on the wet ground as my vision blurs and I try to focus on his grave. Zane's grave. Tears uncontrollably stream down the longer I think about him.
I loved him so much but we never became a couple. It is so sad to see my true love go like this. The only thing that makes we question if he was my true love was the way he acted before he died. So strangely. So many questions.
Why did he risk my life over some secret if I thought he truly loved me? What is this secret? And why would he have it? Why wouldn't he share it with me? We are so close.
Why did he ignore me at my father's funeral? Was it something I said? I did? I don't know. But all I do know is that I loved him regardless of the confusion near the end of his life.
Who killed him remains a mystery and why is an even bigger one. But I am going to find out who and why and I'm going to give them the same thing they gave Zane. Death.
This isn't over yet because I will avenge Zane's death and let him rest in peace forever.
"You have been spending most of your time here for the past week," my mother says, walking up to me, "I'm starting to get worried."
"Don't worry, mother," I say, "Don't worry."
I look up at the sky as the rain clears and my quest for justice just begins. Before my mother arrives beside me, I whisper something up to the sky.
"Zane, I love you," I whisper, "Goodbye."
