What happens when you witness the unthinkable?For two years, sixteen-year-old Cee Cee Montgomery has had a crush on David Johnson, and she's been waiting for him to notice her, and he does—at a party that Cee Cee wasn't supposed to be at. But she is. She's there when David is stabbed and no one calls for help. She's one of the silent witnesses who bears the guilt of his death, and it's tearing her apart. Not even her best friend, Stacy Eddings, can help her through it.Stacy is a silent witness of a different sort. He's been in love with Cee Cee since he met her, but she never saw past David, and while he doesn't know she went to that party, he does realize that something is wrong, that sometimes, no matter how painful, the truth has to come out.
