    Summary

    “You look like shit,” she says.

    Mike huffs out a breath. “Nice to see you too.”

    “You’re not eating,” Max continues. “You’re not sleeping. And you’re doing that thing where you pretend if you don’t say it out loud, it’s not real.”

    He turns away, grabbing a soda from the fridge and holding it like a shield. “I’m handling it.”

    Max watches his hands shake.

    “Funny,” she says. “That’s what I said right before I almost gave up.”

     

    Or: High school keeps moving while Max struggles to reclaim her own life. From quiet afternoons with Will sketching in the corner to the restless, haunted presence of Mike, she witnesses her friends’ grief, guilt, and longing in sharp detail. Halloween brings everyone together, and suddenly, small victories—like rolling across a room or sharing a moment of truth—feel like survival.

    Summary

    Max knew better than this, Billy had made sure she recognized the signs or so she thought.

    The title has nothing to do, or so I think, with the story but it was seeing Sadie's great performance again that inspired me to write this.

    Summary

    “It’s not about Lee,” Raelynn groaned. “I mean, it is, kind of, but it’s mostly like, how could she just leave? How could she just leave me?”

    “I get it,” Beth said quietly, sitting down next to her. “She’s leaving all of us.”

    “No, Beth, you don’t get it,” Raelynn protested. She would never get it. “I mean, it’s always been us two, together, my ride-or-die. Before we met you two, before I even started dating Lee, it’s been us. And now she’s just… gone, without even saying goodbye to any of us.”

     

    Without saying goodbye to me.
