The Not So Silent Accident

The previous year they had been together…..or, at least, known each other had been a very dark, sad, happy, and confusing year.They went to the movies together, to dances, shared sodas, talked to each other almost every minute of the day, but it all ended with not a bang, but a crash.

She wasn’t going to like this…....
