Marissa

He didn't tell me a lot about the in-between, but he said that a police officer found him on the side of the road without his shirt and without his shoes and picked him up and drove him back home.

The way that he explained it to me was that the police officer told him that you are SL and you have a bright future ahead of you.

And so I'm not going to do anything to you today, but he needs to be safe and needs to be careful.

And he told me he went in and

A couple hours later, he had to get up and come to the wedding.

After the wedding, he started to message me a little bit more on Instagram.

He would respond to my stories with hard eyes.

Several of his messages went unanswered because I always felt like he was a little brother.

Because he was so much younger than me and because of the relationship I had with our mutual friend, I didn't view him in a romantic light.

I didn't want to hurt his feelings, so I would respond on occasion, but there was no serious interest there.

The next time I saw him was at an on-campus party at the University of Utah, which is where he attended.

I was picking up one of my friends there to drive her home.

It wasn't until later that day that I found out that as I was walking up to the party, he saw me and he had two bottles of alcohol in his hands and he handed them to another one of my friends and said, take these, Marissa's coming.

And I don't want her to know I'm drinking because he did know that I was LDS and that I didn't drink alcohol.

We had a conversation about one of my other friends who wanted to hang out with one of his teammates and then another one of my friends who was actually talking to one of his teammates.

We made a plan to all hang out one day.

We communicated a little bit over text about what we were going to do and the plans that we were going to have.

I felt like it was pretty clear that we were hanging out for my friend and for his teammate to kind of get to know each other.

And I thought because of the mutual friend that him and I had together, we both had an understanding that this couldn't go farther than being friends.

Clearly, he didn't realize that.
