Why She Had To Go

Danielle Goodman and James Bryson have been friends for nine years. They walk to school together every day in the morning fog. They walk home the very same route when the sun sets. They're both quiet, and they keep to themselves most of the time. Really, they only have each other, but it doesn't bother them. It's been that way for years, after all. As their third year of high school begins, something is stirring inside of Danielle, and James is troubled by the sadness displayed by his best and only friend. In the time they spend together, though, her melancholy is relieved by their mutual smiles and small-voiced conversations. For him, that's enough. On a cloudy day in autumn, something would change between Danielle and James, something that would forever change their friendship and their lives. Why She Had To Go tells the sweet and delicate story of two individuals, and the intricacies of their lives as they are pulled apart and woven back together.
