I’ve replayed it in my head billions of times. What if it had rained that day? If I had agreed to go berry picking with my mom? If I hadn’t suggested to Alex that we hang out? If my dad hadn’t organized a barbecue with his annoying co-workers in our garden? If we had stayed in Alex’s room? If I hadn’t complained about the heat? If Alex hadn’t gotten the garden hose? If I had let him get me wet? If we hadn’t tussled?

Alex might not have lost his balance.

No, it wasn’t me! I yelled. It wasn’t me! I didn’t push him!

His mother, running, screaming like a madwoman.

But actually, just before she screamed, there was a silence. A long, horrible silence.
