Summary
Dear Mom and Dad,
I know what it’s like to snowball. To hear one thing, see one look, and feel it grow and grow in my chest. I learned how to internalize it. I learned how to be happy whenever I was with anyone, even a single person to stand next to me. If they do that, then I can take a breath. Because that means I’m not alone in my brain. I’m always stuck in my brain, and there’s no way out. I feel everything, like I'm on the verge of an explosion or combustion every waking moment. I’m living in that space where you get a second wind before you collapse. That's every single moment and day of my life.
Marcus used to be my person to help. I helped him, because I needed to be around people. If Marcus was around me, and so were my friends, I could almost be normal. No one needs me anymore. He’s getting better. My friends found a better version of me.
I love you, but I can't stay here anymore. My brain is too loud. I can't be alone any longer. By the time you read this, I'll be in my room, I’m sorry.Love, Maxine.

Summary
That morning, waiting in the parking lot, wasn’t the first time Maxine thought about killing herself. No, that has been at age 12, when Brandon Smithson, kissed her behind the slide on the playground, and then called her a whore when she told him she was gay.
In that moment, all she wanted to do was die of embarrassment and shame.
No, it certainly wasn’t the first time thinking about it all stopping; about going to sleep, finding herself in the silence at the end of the unrelenting spiral, and never waking up.
***
Max after season 3. Sometimes, there are no happy endings.

Summary
Marcus had never thought about suicide. At least no more than listening to the yearly assembly about warning signs and statistics. Even in his darkest days. He never once considered.
He saw no point in killing himself. No, he would much rather lie down and forget to exist. Sure, eventually he would die. But he was no danger to himself; in fact, he was nothing to himself.
Inaction wasn’t the same as action.
Max was always the doer between the two of them.***
Follow Up to "Glass Girl". There are no happy endings, but sometimes, there are hopeful ones.
