Elizabeth Wakefield's heart is being ripped to shreds. The rivalry between her longtime boyfriend, Todd Wilkins, and the mysterious Devon Whitelaw has erupted into violence. Forget choosing between them - a disgusted Elizabeth ditches them both. Unless they grow up, she'll never speak to either one of them again!
Horrified and guilty that he flew off the handle, Todd understands why Elizabeth won't have anything to do with him. But he's not about to give up that easily. When a party Elizabeth and her twin sister, Jessica, are organizing doesn't go according to plan, Todd seizes the opportunity to prove how far he'll go to earn her forgivness. But will his desperate efforts push him over the edge?
Clenching his jaw, Devon yanked Todd with all his might. The belt loop broke, and he and Todd tumbled to the ground just as the barrier broke completely, sending the jeep smashing into the rocks hundreds of feet below.
Sprawled across the road with Todd's dead-weight upon him, Devon struggled to catch his breath as his adrenaline-induced strength disappeared. He rested on the blacktop a few seconds, then eased himself from beneath Todd, carefully lying Todd's head on the road.
"Todd!" Elizabeth cried, throwing herself over his motionless body.
Devon gently reached down and pulled Elizabeth away. "It's best not to move him or touch him right now," he told her. "He's been pretty badly shaken."
"Oh, Devon," Elizabeth cried, burying her head in his shoulder.
Devon held her close to him. "It'll be all right, Liz," he comforted her as they waited for an ambulance. But Devon wondered how truthful he was being. Todd had been seriously hurt. He'd suffered a severe blow to his skull and maybe internal injuries they didn't know about.
Elizabeth lifted her head, desperatly searching Devon's eyes. "Todd can't die," she told him. "I can't live without him."
It's prom time at Sweet Valley High, and there's only one thing on Jessica's mind - who will be her lucky date? Meanwhile Elizabeth has chosen to stand on her own, but that doesn't do her any good when it's time to find a n escort for the biggest night of her life!
