One Moment by: Kristina McBride
Everything was perfect, Maggie and Joey had been dating for almost two years and were the happiest couple, as far as she knew. It was the summer before their Senior year and they were planning to "seal the deal" in just a few weeks. Maggie and Joey had grown up together and eventually become un-seperable. They kept no secrets from each other-or at least thats why Maggie thought.
A group of their friends were there, the day it happened.. They were all hanging out at a nearby cove were they had a few drinks and dared one another to jump off the big cliff. Maggie was the only one who hadn't jumped before and Joey had convinced her to jump today. They climbed to the top had one long kiss and wish good luck. Maggie wasn't scared when she was with Joey. Holding hands they ran towards the edge to jump...The next thing Maggie remembers is screaming..
Joey jumped- but Maggie did not. Nothing made sense, Maggie couldn't figure out what happened and didn't know where Joey was or why anyone was screaming. All she knew is when she finally saw Joeys body, laying still, his head bent in a weird way, that nothing would ever be okay again.
Maggie couldn't hid any longer, the police needed answers and wanted to talk to Maggie. The thing was, was that she couldn't remember anything after their kiss, it was all a blur, and she isn't sure if she wants to remember. The detectives ask about where Joey might have been the night before, because he had never made it home after dropping Maggie off from a party. None of the friends know where he could have been. They all want to know if Joey was hiding something from all of them, or is one of them hiding something from the entire group? And what was with that blue bracelet he had on is wrist at the cove? Maggie as she is with the detectives has a pretty deep thought, "I looked down at my hands, squeezing them together so tightly they turned a sickly whitish-blue. I wasn't sure if I was angry with Joey for keeping a secret or glad to realize that maybe he could go on living through all the little things I didn't yet know. Things that I could easily find out."
