MATTS POV:

All three of us have been hanging out in the same place all summer.

It was our spot. The place were we went we we were sad, scared, or needed peace. It was perfect. I was standing there wondering how our peaceful spot, could have become such a horrible place that I no longer could look at. We thought nothing ever happened here, and that's why we liked it. Jayna, Katey, and I always hung out here. In the middle of this forest. Surrounded by nothing but trees and a small pond. Nobody else knew about it, but us.

I sat on a log that Katey and I cut down from a near by tree. I ran my fingers across it as tears fell from my face. I was getting dark and cold, so I figured I should go. I picked some flowers and set them on top of the log, and slowly walked away.

Walking home, I tried to wipe away tears, but they kept coming. I wanted to stop so no one saw me. A seventeen year old boy walking down the road crying. That's just lame. After about 5 minutes I stopped crying. I was finally home. I walked in the front door and went straight to my room. I saw my mom sitting at the piano. But I didn't bother to say hi.

I stood in the door way to my room and saw all the pictures of Katey, Jayna, Taylor, Cam, Maddie, and Kaitlyn. I tried to stay strong when I looked at them. It was hard, but I did it. I changed into a pair of basketball shorts and took off my shirt.

I closed the door to my room and plopped myself onto my bed. I started crying because I couldn't help but think of what happened.. Just 2 months ago.
