    Summary

    “It’s not that,” Ellie interjects softly. Joel sighs.

    “Then what is it?”

    She doesn’t know how to tell him this- that it’s not school, its not him or even Cat. It’s not that easy. It’s her. She doesn’t know how to tell her girlfriend that she keeps hurting her feelings. She doesn’t know how to tell Joel how hard she feels like she has to work to make him proud. She doesn’t know how to keep all of them - her family, her friends, her girlfriend - happy and keep herself happy too. She feels like she did the first time Joel taught her how to swim: scared shitless on the edge of that dark pool, furious at herself for agreeing to this, like she was on the very cusp of drowning.

    *

    Ellie navigates the break down of her first relationship and all the shit that comes with it.

    Summary

    The flashlight shined square on him. This wasn’t Lawrence, it really wasn’t, it was the blood covered angel of death dressed in human skin and shoes made of shattered glass. She smiled at him and Adam’s hair fell out of her mouth and onto the bathroom floor in neat little wet tufts. Despite himself he tilted his head back, grabbed onto the pipe as tightly as he could, and screamed.

    Adam meets a woman in the bathroom... what happens next will shock you!

    Summary

    “Anyway, as fun as it’s been crying like a baby twice a week, I cancelled the rest of my sessions after the next one. I don’t have insurance and I’m basically over the hump, I think.”

    “You’re.” Lawrence looks around desperately as if the furniture might agree with him. “It’s been two months, Adam. You’re not ‘over the hump’ in two months.”

    Adam and Lawrence both lived. Here's how they get their shit together afterwards.
