Two young teens, Chris and Emily, were hopelessly, aimlessly, and carelessly fallen in love, until Emily was found dead with Chris by her side. The families of the two were friends since the babies were born: the mothers were pregnant together and plans for the wedding were silently in the works. Now, however, the families are falling apart. Emily’s family asks Chris what happened. Chris’s answer shocks everyone. There was a pact. But, what was it? Did Chris do his part of the pact, or did he murder Emily? This book is a love story with a tragic twist that enthralls the reader in a page-turner like no other book.
