Falling Behind

 Tragedy claims the innocence of three friends that had their hearts set on experiencing a fun and carefree sophomore year. Titus notices early on things aren’t what they use to be or even seem to be. His best friends Candice and Reese are in troubling relationships and he feels as if his hands are tied. He’s offered to listen and questioned what’s wrong. Candice has visible bruises as well as becoming the shell of the fun-loving friend he’s grown up with. While Reese, the friend he’s been in love with for years, has started to pull away due to her boyfriend.
Titus made a promise to Candice not to confess his feelings to Reese. When two unthinkable catastrophes threaten to tear Reese from Titus, he has to choose between love and loyalty. Does breaking a promise, break the bonds of friendship when one of the friends is no longer living?
Titus can see the world around him crumpling. He wasn’t able to save Candice and feels as if there is no way to break the promise he made to her. As he watched Reese climb out of the depths of her own heartbreak to deal with the loss of Candice he realizes confessing to Reese maybe the only way to save her.
