BEFORE YOU READ: WARNING: THIS STORY HAS MENTIONS OF ABUSE, SUICIDAL THOUGHTS, UNDERAGE ALCOHOLISM AND RAPE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

The morning was hot and humid as I rode my motorcycle down to Sweetwater Bridge, I was there that morning of July fourth, the day of the drowning of Jason Blossom, who I barely knew. I had always stopped at the bridge right after Penny Peabody, my mother got into a fight, this time she threw a ceramic mug at my face but I was lucky enough to duck so it missed me. As I was saying I always go to Sweetwater Bridge to get away from everyone, to clear my mind and to cry when I need to. That was how Jason Blossom and I originally met in the first place. He was a nice person. When he saw me crying on the bridge he stopped and asked me what was wrong and I told him; that was seven months ago. He gave me that number and said that he would be more than willing to listen if I need someone to talk to. I've texted him a few times; he was my secret friend, and I knew if the Southside knew I would be ridiculed for it. He knew if the Northside new about me he would be ridiculed for it too so we kept it between each other.

I had watched as Jason and his sister, Cheryl got into a boat in all white; I know Jason had a touch for drama but I didn't realize it was genetic. I watched the crossed the river to the Greendale bank of Sweetwater river, I felt that it was sketchy so I took a photo of Jason and Cheryl going into the woods on the Greendale side after a few moments I heard a gunshot a little while after I saw Cheryl walk out of the woods alone and I took a picture of that. It worried me, I was nervous for my friend. I instantly ran from the bridge and to the woods. I had ran through the bunch of trees looking for my friend who could be injured or worse, dead. I looked everywhere but I didn't find anything. I went back to my bike and I texted Jason.

Rocky: Are you okay?

I waited for awhile and there was no reply. Then I left and went to the Whyte Wyrm. I was in shock that I may have just heard the gunshot that killed a friend.

When I got to the Whyte Wyrm my hands were slightly shaking so I kept my hands in my pockets, I hadn't cried, I was just so in shock. I walked in to see my best friend, Toni Topaz, behind the bar. "Rox!" Toni smiled as she saw me.

"Hey, T." I said to her as I walked up to the bar. "Can I get a shot of tequila?"

"What's wrong?" Toni asked me as she poured me a shot.

"I can't tell you here." I admitted as I sat down.

"Girl talk?" She questioned, putting the shot in front of me. I nodded as I downed the shot with my slightly shaky hands. "Okay, something is definitely wrong and I don't think it can wait. Upstairs office, now."

"Isn't FP up there?" I asked her.

"No, he is asleep on the couch over there." Toni told me as she came around the bar and dragged me to the office and looked the door behind us, "What's wrong, Roxy?"

"I think I just heard someone get murdered by his own sister." I told her.

"Who was it?" She asked.

"The Blossoms. I have photos I took of the two going into the Greendale side of Sweetwater river but Cheryl only coming out out alone and I heard a gunshot before she ever came out." I explained to her.

"Why were you there in the first place?" She asked.

"I was standing on Sweetwater Bridge, clearing my mind like I usually do when Penny and I get into a fight." I told her. Toni doesn't know everything about what Penny does to me, just that we get into a lot of fights. "What should I do, Toni? Should I go to the Police station or go to FP?"

"We need to talk to FP about it. Show him the pictures and don't leave a single detail out." She told me.

"What if he tells me not to tell anybody about what I saw?" I asked her, "I can't just sit on this information."
