Summer Ran Away

"Summer ran away."
That's what they tell themselves. That's what they tell each other. But no one really knows.

One moment she was laughing in my car, the next-gone.
The police called it a runaway. Case closed.
But nothing about it felt real. Nothing about it felt right.

I was the last person to see her.
I gave my statement. I told the truth.
But that didn't stop the looks. The questions. The feeling that everyone in town decided I was guilty, even if they couldn't prove it.

Months later, her brother comes back.
Digging up a case no one wants reopened.
He's not here to help me-he's here to watch me.

But the deeper we look, the clearer it becomes:
If Summer ran, she left behind a trail that's too perfect.
If she didn't... then someone's covering their tracks.
And in a town full of secrets, I'm still the easiest person to blame.
