PROLOGUE
XAVI
I shouldn’t be up here.
I made a promise to the only real friend I’ve ever had, one that’s getting harder and harder to keep. I’ve thought about breaking it hundreds of times—at least once a day since the day she left me—but I’ve never actually had the balls to go through with it.
Tonight though…
Tonight feels different.
I feel different.
I’m in too deep this time and I just want it to stop.
No more fear. No more guilt. No more fucking misery.
With any luck, it’ll just feel like…nothing.
Blackness.
The end.
Clutching the blindfold I’ve kept on me for almost two years, I’m straddling my motorbike on the edge of the bend in the road, facing the steep cliff overlooking the forest below.
Ride a motorcycle.
Jump off a cliff.
