CHAPTER

DAVID

Once he was back in Summer Hollow, he drove by Hannah’s place. Her car wasn’t in the driveway so he didn’t stop. She was probably over at the family home, which was officially Lucy’s place now.

With no destination in mind, he found himself headed toward The Springs. Once he had made the turn into the small community, he wound his way down the narrow road toward the recreation area, the spot he and Hannah had always gone when they were younger.

It hadn’t changed much. Even the harsh summer heat couldn’t wilt the lush greenery surrounding the fresh water pools which were filled from the creek that was hidden beyond the trees and blackberry bushes.

The pools were actually on a continuous fill, the opening let water in and another let water out, emptied by another opening where the water was released. The release was located under the small foot bridge where he had told Hannah that he was leaving. Under the bridge, the water spewed back into another portion of the creek, creating a small waterfall.

One side of the recreation area was pavement with one section for parking and another with picnic tables. The other side was a sloped lawn with lush green grass. The pools took up a good portion of the space, but not a lot of people spent time there, mostly just locals from The Springs.

David parked and got out of his car, slamming the Chevelle’s door behind him. He stood for a moment staring at the dark water before him. Without warning, he suddenly delved into unwanted memories.

Beyond the trees, behind the recreation center, the creek ran gently. But, further up, it became deeper and ran faster. One sweltering summer day, he, Hannah, and a few of their friends decided to walk up the creek.

They had picked their way along the rocks and water, sometimes having to walk up into a neighbor’s yard to get around a difficult area where the banks wouldn’t allow them to pass. Eventually, the creek got so deep and the land so high, that they had literally been walking on a ledge that would have led to certain death had they fallen.

After several hours, the group had emerged before one of the most beautiful sights he had ever seen. Waterfalls, yes, more than one, fell majestically into bluish green pools of untouched water.

None of them had a clue that the waterfalls were there. It was one of those moments in life where you felt like you were the only people in the whole world who knew the meaning of life. The whole gang had just stared in awe, and he knew right then the trip upstream had been worth it.

For the next couple of hours they stayed by the waterfalls.

He and Hannah sat side by side on one of the large rocks while the others frolicked in the water. “How is it possible that we never knew this place was here?” Hannah had asked him.

David shrugged. “I don’t know, but I’m sure they aren’t a secret.
