**Not Yet Determined**

Part 1

As I'm writing these accounts after this situation has happened, I will try and recollect what happened. I want the people reading this to understand what we felt and had to endure whilst being with Max...I am just lucky that I keep a journal and everything is written in there – this shouldn't be too hard...

I think I need to explain who I am and what I do for all of this to make sense. I'm a 20-year-old boy from Essex in the UK. I grew up quite privileged as my parents are both successful lawyers. To be honest, I didn't want to go in the same footsteps as them, I mean I want to be successful, but not as a lawyer. I decided at a very young age that I enjoyed the outside, especially climbing everything I could. This then leads to my interest in sport and how the body/mind works; this is why I chose Sports Physiology for my degree. At least I chose the university that both my parents went to – Oxford.

Before I get into what happened I want to address some things, still, to this day nobody knows for sure what, why, where (exactly), when and how any of this happened. I feel like Max needs some justice and my side of the story needs to be told – I owe him that much. Both Claire and I have received backlash from Max's parents and the media; we are not 100% to blame for this, we tried our best...we really did! Here we go...
