 * Good sections to read aloud:**

Aaron and Jeremy have been best friends since they were young. Aaron has a twin brother, Nathan as well, but they haven’t hung around together for several years because of different likes and dislikes. Aaron and Jeremy are out messing around one summer afternoon when Aaron all of a sudden gets serious and tells Jeremy that he is afraid to go home because of his brother Nathan. Jeremy thinks that it is odd, but doesn’t think anything of it really and goes on home. Aaron asks Jeremy to call him in ten minutes. Fifteen minutes pass and Jeremy remembers, but when he calls Aaron’s house, he knows something is wrong....and then a police car and ambulance scream past his house. Jeremy’s fears are correct...something horrible has happened to his friend, Aaron.
