			<title>Chapter 5</title>
			<description> The early morning light could have blinded me. But today, it was befitting that it be like this. I just wanted it to be over. Something to just occur and let it be over. &amp;ldquo;Caleb?!&amp;rdquo; I heard Ashley yell.&amp;ldquo;WHAT?!?!?&amp;rdquo; I yelled back gutturally.

And next to skeletal. &quot;Hey&quot; he rasped. &amp;nbsp;As he spoke to me, I allowed myself to cry. My tears began to flow down my face in torrents. I could feel ..</description>
