Summary
Randy wondered what the West could hold that was so interesting that Benson wanted to point the nose of the car towards it. Much like he wondered how any of the places they’d visited had been of interest to a man in his thirties who barely knew what the air smelled like ten miles outside of town.
Still, the Randy from last month wasn’t anywhere to be found as the new one, wearing clothes he picked solely for himself and covered in the bruises from the fingertips of a man who was ultimately terrible for him, sat in his stead. Taking up the passenger side of the car with a bolstering new personality and hair shavings digging into the skin of his neck where his t-shirt’s collar lay. Benson shrank under the irritation of this new person, sweating down the sides of his temples and twisting in the driver’s seat as he tried to get away from the size of Randy’s rage.
~
Randy & Benson continue their journey, leaving Florida behind and heading West. Cresting between love and sheer irritation. The catalytic emotions towards Randy's final pit-stop, someone or something completely different to the young man that was bundled into the car on that last Saturday morning shift.

Summary
Randy almost doesn’t understand how it happened, even though he’s the one who started it. Three weeks ago he’d never had sex with anyone, had never thought about doing it with a guy, didn’t think much about doing it at all. And maybe that means there’s something wrong with him, but he’s not stupid—he understands that Benson is into him. And if Randy can use that to keep him calm, keep them on track for a little while, maybe Benson will come back to himself. Will shake off the shock, and tell Randy what the plan is.

‘Based on what you've shown me, I'd prefer you didn't.’
‘But you'd like someone to write about you.’
‘I'm not even twenty-five yet, I scarcely require a biographer.’

Summary
The woman at the school’s reception desk flat out refused to give them anything about Miss Beard, her hands laid on the countertop as she shook her head sadly. Big, plump bottom lip jutting out in what Benson might have known to be real sympathy if he had ever been presented with the emotion in a sincere way. Which he hadn’t. At least, that’s what he imagined, anyway. When she had removed her palms from the counter, the ledger beneath them had become stuck to one, slick with a nervous sweat that she hid all too well in the calm, collected way she had informed the boy she simply couldn’t give that sort of information away.
The page was left greasy and she pointedly did not look at it.
“And Mr. Bradley, I really think you’re doing the right thing. Good for you.” She had said, like she was his fucking grandmother.
---
They don't make it to Miss Beard's place. Mr Sheppard lies in a pool of his own blood and Benson & Randy drive on, and on, and on, and on, and on.
