Events in the Past

Summer 1994

"Come on Riley, hurry up, don't keep us waiting." A 17 year old Casey Novak screamed this while waiting for her 9 ear old cousin to finish.They were going on a camping trip with some of Casey's friends.

"I'm Coming, I'm coming."Riley exclaimed, hopping down the stairs with a bag in her hand, blonde pigtail buns on her head.

"Come on, we're meeting them at sterling park."

Casey's mother started driving them to the park 10 minutes later at seven o'clock.

As they got out of casey's mothers car she drove off.

"Finally, I thought you two would never show up." said an 18 year old Serena Southerlyn while hugging one of her best friends, Casey. "Danielle, Anna, and I hae been here for a half hour already. Did Jason tell you when he and Hayden are going to show up?"

As Serena said this a carpulled up with two guys inside. On the top of the car were 7 sleeping bags along with boxes of food.

Jayson got out of the car, hugged his sister Casey, and started talking to Serena. While jayson was talking with Serena, Hayden went up to Casey and gave her a kiss hello.

"EWW!"

"Oh shut up Riley, nothing you haven't seen before." Casey said after the kiss.

The 7 of them started walking to their campsite. Anna was doing impression of everybody in their group

" I DO NOT WALK LIKE THAT!"

"All right people time to set up camp. Casey, you and the girls throw the food ove a high tree branch so the bears don't get it" Jayson said while setting up the tents with Hayden.

At 11:00 after the camp site was set up and after they ate dinner, Riley kept bugging Casey.

"Casey, please i wanna go see the lake before i go to bed."

"But you'll see it tomorrow."

"I want see it at night."

"Come on Casey. Have some fun. We'll go swimming"

" please Casey, please, please, please." said Anna, who was on her knees with Riley begging.

"Fine," Casey said to the begging girls, then to the others Casey said, "You guys wanna go down to the lake?"

"Sure" They all replied.

While walking to the lake Hayden dropped back a little.

"Casey, Can i talk to you in private when we get there?"

"Yeah, Sure." Casey said reluctantly, not knowing what he could possibly want to say to her.

When they got to the lake Casey and serena noticed that all the lights were on and that there was a volleyball net and a ball. While everyone else was in the lake Casey and Serena had a one on one game of volleyball.

"Hayden wants to talk to me," Casey said while serving the ball," What do you think he would talk to me about? Do you think he wants to break up?"

" He'd be a fool to do it here."

While they were talking and playing everyone else was swimming. After around a half hour, Hayden got out of the lake.

"Case, can i talk to you now?"

Casey gave a look to Serena, "Sure"

When Casey Passed Serena she heard Serena say, "Good Luck"

As they walked toward the forest, the others were laying down in their clothes, watching the stars. When Casey and Hayden walked into the forest, Hayden told Casey sit down, "Casey, how long have we been dating?"

"3 years. Why?"

"Casey, I don't know if you feel the same way, but I love you Casey." Casey looded up into Hayden with tears in her eyes. " I Love you too"

They met in a passionate kiss. Hayden started moving down kissing her neck. As he moved his mouth back to her lips for anotherkiss they heard a scream.

"AHHHHHHHHHH"

"That's Serena!"exclaimed Hayden. As he and Casey went to look they saw a man with a handgun.

"Riley!"

"Casey, don't!" Hayden threw his arms around her and her front while Casey struggled to get free

"No Casey, stay still, he won't see us."

BANG

"Jayson"

" Oh God NO" Casey Screamed

"Shh" Hayden said, "don't draw attention."

As he said this and Casey screamed, the gunman turned towards them and raised his gun.

CLICK

The gunman looked shocked for a moment, then ran the other way.

"Oh God"

"Casy, come on, we gotta see the others, make sure they are okay."

Casey shakkily replied, "Okay"

When they reached camp they saw Anna nd Danielle clingling to each other, Serena hugging herself and Riley holding on to Jayson.

"Jayson...are you okay?"

"yeah," said Jayson, " we heard screaming and saw the man shot her. we screamed, he saw us and tried to shoot us. He tried to stop Riley, i jumped over Riley, just got grazed."

"Jayson,we need to get that looked at, it could get infected." Serena said

"I WANNA GO HOME!" Riley exclaimed hysterically.

"ME too," said Danielle, who had untangelled herself form Anna, We also need to get to the hospital."

They didn't even bother to pack up when they left. they reached the hospital in 15 minutes.

"Can i help You?" said the nurse, whose name onthe name tag said Lenna.

"Yeah, my friend go slammed into the rocka t a lake we were at."

"Come with me, son." Lenna said while pulling Jayson by the uninjured arm.

"Why did you lie, Hayden."

" because... do you really want to get mixed up with this?"

"No, i don't but.."

"But, But nothing." He said, Listen i'm not going to say one thing, if you want to, go ahead, don't expect any support from me."

"Fine...I won't tell. Daniell said.

As they were sitting down, the news came on,

" Breaking news, just came in, A young Women named Susanna Smith was brutally abeaten and shot in Sterling State Park. Her body was found by 2 campers who were on a midnight walk. They found her on the shore. If anyone has any information please call the Sterling P.D. at 1-555-555-8352."

As Jayson came back all stitched up he commanded, "We NEVER speak of this again. Do you understand?"

"Yeah." replied Serena, who was quiet all night, Anna, and Danielle.

" You know I won't." said Hayden.

" Casey? Riley?"

"Never again." said Casey, her voice so low you had to struggle to hear it.

Riley nodded.

"Good, Lets go home"
