    Summary

    It starts gradually, like most things in life do. Like rips forming in the back of his favorite Reebok’s. Like dead, brown leaves falling under late-November clouds. Matt never really sees it all coming until it’s too late.

    The stages of Matt’s eating disorder, told in 2 parts.

    Summary

    Matt kind of has a headache. And he’s a bit nauseous from waking up earlier than he wanted to, Chris playing trap in his ear for twenty minutes before he finally snapped at him to get the fuck out. But it’s whatever. It’s fine. He’s fine. He just wishes his attention span wasn’t so shot, so he could maybe contribute to the conversation, but then he remembers they’re being filmed, and he remembers everything that comes out of his mouth comes out too slow or not articulated well enough, so he hunches over a bit lower and decides to keep quiet.

    He’s snapped back in the room when Nick introduces the topic with a smug, “we’re gonna be talking about the science of happiness. Which is—I’m so eager to hear what Matt has to say about everything that we talk about today.”

    “Negative Matt,” Chris says with a conforming nod.

    And to top it all off, because there’s no feeling like feeling cornered, Nick adds yet another, “negative Matt.”

    Summary

    A cutlass was at his throat. He swallowed, searching down at the young man before him. His jaw was clenched, his face was turned downward as if angry, but his eyes and his shaking hand gave him away. And familiarly hit Chris like sails to a mast.

    Chris grinned against the steel. “Who do we have here, boys?”

    Matt gets kidnapped, Nick has a brother and a treasure map to hunt down, and Chris really needs to cool it with the side-quests.

    Summary

    Matt can’t stand the smell of candles, and this is something Nick’s come to know throughout the years of his life. So, when he finds a lighter in Matt’s backpack, he’s taken aback. He holds it in his palm and tries to imagine a reason for Matt to even own one. Tries to imagine a scenario where he’d go out and purposely spend his money on it.

    He puts the lighter back where he found it in the small pocket of Matt’s black bag. Maybe Chris slipped it in there. Maybe Matt picked it up at a party. Maybe he didn’t even know it was sitting there, taunting Nick with a series of “what if’s.”

    Either way, Nick has a hunch. And he hopes he isn't right.

    Summary

    “Here, take it and go,” Matt said, holding out the cup.

    “I haven’t even said why I’m here.”

    “I assumed you came for the coffee?”

    Chris scoffed, flicking his glasses up on his head. At least his eyes looked the same. “Of course you remember I prefer dark roast over light, but you somehow forgot my phone number.”

    Famous Sturniolo twins, Chris and Nick, slip up in an interview and fuel rumors of a secret third brother. They take it upon themselves to hunt this brother down, but their plan has one flaw—Matt doesn’t want anything to do with them.

    Summary

    Chris looks at him with such seriousness that Matt has a hard time avoiding his eye. “You’re the most important person to me. Ever. And I can’t protect you here. Do you get what I’m saying?”

    “And you think you can protect me out there?”

    They lose Nick in Hartford, and Matt's life slowly starts to unravel. Oh, and there's zombies.

    Summary

    In all honesty, Matt hadn’t been expecting them to notice the cup in his hands. Or to care. But it only takes a second for Chris’s eyes to flicker down towards it.

    “You carrying someone’s drink?”

    Matt shakes his head, and when he does, he notices it moves a bit faster than the room does. Odd. “Oh, it’s mine. I just wanted to try, I guess.” He’s beginning to understand how stupid he sounds saying it out loud.

    Matt drinks for the first time. Then, a second. Then, he can’t stop.

    Summary

    When Spider-Man webs onto the branch next to him, he isn’t all that surprised.

    “This wasn’t my intention,” Matt says.

    Spider-Man has the audacity to laugh. “Is that even your cat?”

    Or, 3 times Matt is saved by Spider-Man, and 1 time he realizes why.

    Summary

    It didn’t even hurt. There was no pain, no blood, but Matt’s mind refused to let go of the past, and he closed his eyes tight, hands on his chest as images flew in. Not images—memories.

    Matt opened his eyes to Chris on his knees in front of him, a firm grip on his wrist. Keeping him grounded.

    Or, Matt hasn't had a panic attack in months. One elbow to the chest breaks that streak.

    Summary

    A lady stood on the doorstep. She wore sharp glasses and strawberry blonde hair, and looked ages beyond her years.

    “Good afternoon,” she said. Matt, standing behind Nick’s shoulder, watched as she strained her face into a smile, holding onto a clipboard. “I’m Claire from Child Protective Services. Is your uncle home?”

    They’d been living with their uncle for nine years. Matt was tired, so when he found a way out, he was quick to take it.
