Fred and Laura have been in love for a long while. Fred has dropped school when he was 15 to start his landscaping venture, a sole proprietorship. Laura, on the other hand, is finishing high school and plan on attending CGIM next year to become a Financial Security Adviser. When he was 16, Freds company made so much money (approximately 50,000$) that he decided to go buy a new truck for his company. With the rest of the money, Fred and Laura decided to get married when they were both 17, last August and, a month after their wedding, to buy a boat to relax on the St. Lawrence River during the summers.

They did not do the marriage contract, but Fred wrote his will by himself and by his hand two days after his wedding where he leaves everything to Laura, Fred wrote that, in case of his death, he leaves everything to Laura, his newly wedded wife, except for his truck, which he wants Mikey (Freds best friend) to have.

On November 10th, two days before Freds 18th birthday, Fred, Laura, and Mikey (Freds best friend) decide to go to the country house of Mikeys parents (Laura is still 17 too, but Mikey is only 16). They decide to have a weekend retreat in a country home to celebrate Freds upcoming birthday. During the night, they decide to go outside for a walk in the Dark. As they are scared of bears, Mikey decides to bring his pellet air blank gun, in case they run into trouble. After 15 minutes of walking, Mikey thinks he hears a bear noise and shoots two bullets in the direction of the noise. Sadly, the noise was from Fred, who went to check something in the bushes, and the bullets enter Freds ear and eye sockets, resulting in his immediate death.
