Senior Year... High School.
Ten Years Ago.
~SARA~
Friendships are like wheels. Together, they flow seamlessly. Apart, they become a colossal disaster. And just like every other group of girl besties around the world, ours was forged on loyalty.
A bond not signaled with words but somehow... felt.
A group of girls bonded by love, sworn to be ride-or-die for one another.
But like the darkest nights that are devoured with the rise of the sun, so too are the brightest of days engulfed by darkness at sunset.
And on that day, as she beamed at me at the boarding affairs office, I never imagined that starting a friendship with this young, bubbly girl.
A girl who seemed to have no care in the world, would lead to a horror that I would have to carry with me...
For the rest of my days.
