I can not forget his cold hand wrapped around my neck, his sweat dripping down on my face, rolling down my cheek mixed with my tears, and his hoarse voice whispering into my ear warning me against letting anyone know what he has done to me. Few minutes after torturing me, there was a faint knock on the door, not knowing who it was he forcefully coerced me to put on my clothes. That was the day my life changed forever.

Chapter 1 Childhood Echoes

The memories of my childhood are etched vividly in my mind, and Vile is a constant presence in most of them. We met in preschool, and I remember being drawn to his curious nature and infectious smile. Our friendship blossomed effortlessly, like a flower unfolding its petals. We were inseparable, and our adventures became the stuff of family legend.

My name is Nataly Miller, daughter of Dr. Miles Miller and Mrs. Alice Miller; my best friend, Vile Mahone, son of Mr. and Mrs. Mahone, a prominent and wealthy family in New York City.

Growing up in New York City, we explored every nook and cranny of the five boroughs. We spent hours playing in Central Park, riding the carousel, and watching the street performers. Vile was always the first to suggest we try something new, whether it was climbing to the top of the playground jungle gym or attempting to catch a baseball with a makeshift glove. I admired his fearlessness and enthusiasm, and he encouraged me to be more spontaneous.

Winter was our favorite season. We'd bundle up in our warmest coats and boots, and venture into the snow-covered parks. The city transformed into a winter wonderland, and we'd spend hours building snowmen, making snow angels, and having epic snowball fights. Vile's laughter still echoes in my mind as we trudged through the drifts, our cheeks rosy and our noses numb.

Our families became close, and we'd often go on picnics and camping trips together. We'd pack sandwiches, fruit, and cookies, and head to the Hudson River or Prospect Park. Vile's dad would teach us how to start a campfire, and we'd roast marshmallows and tell ghost stories. Those were the nights I'd never want to end, surrounded by the people I loved, under the starry sky.

As we grew older, our friendship deepened. We began to share secrets, hopes, and dreams. Vile became my confidant, and I, his. We'd spend hours talking about our favorite books, music, and movies. He introduced me to the world of science fiction, and I turned him into fantasy novels. Our tastes might have differed, but our love for storytelling united us.

Our parents would often joke that we were meant to be more than friends, but we never saw each other that way. At least, not then. We were each other's rock, supporting and encouraging each other through the ups and downs of childhood and adolescence. Vile was the one person who truly understood me, and I, him.

One of our favorite spots in the city was the Brooklyn Bridge. We'd walk across it, taking in the breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline and the East River. Vile loved the engineering and history behind the bridge, while I marveled at its grandeur and the sense of connection it provided between the boroughs. We'd pause at the midpoint, and Vile would challenge me to look out at the city and imagine our futures. What did I want to achieve? Where did I want to go? I'd glance over at him, and he'd smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Those moments, suspended between the towers of the Brooklyn Bridge, felt like the world was ours for the taking. Little did we know, life had its own plans, and our friendship would be tested in ways we never could have imagined.

As I look back, I realize that our bond was always more than just friendship. It was a connection that ran deeper, a sense of belonging and understanding that only comes from sharing a lifetime of experiences. Vile was, and still is, an integral part of me, a reminder of the joy, laughter, and adventures that shaped my childhood.

In the years that followed, our lives took different paths, but the memories of our childhood remained a constant source of comfort and strength. Even now, when I close my eyes, I can still see Vile's smile, his eyes crinkling at the corners, and feel the warmth of our friendship, a flame that burns bright in my heart.
