Prologue/Chapter 1

My vision got blurry as more tears fell off onto my cheek. I knew it was dangerous to be driving while crying but I couldn't help it. Looking at the places where my dad and I used to hang out was too much for me.

My dad was dead

The very thought brought another round of tears to my eyes. The night I found out about his death was a very vivid memory, as if the news was being told to me this very instant.

"Cammie," my mom said, with a tear streaked face.

"Your…father…died…in…a…car…crash,'' she said sobbing after every word.

I'd been 8 at the time, the news had seemed foreign, and once I'd been able to comprehend the news, I was a wreck. I never made friends at school, and I'd been classified as a freak, but I never cared. My teachers had even put me in special classes, thinking it'd help me, but nothing could, and nothing probably would.

My mom found a job in Virginia, so she decided to move back there. It would be better there. I could have a fresh start a school, and we both could get away from the place where our life had drastically changed. I had friends there. People who would welcome me with open arms. But, they couldn't bring my dad back. They couldn't stop the car wreak. They couldn't to anything.

Because my dad is dead.

Dead.
