Summary
Patrick is messy. His apartment isn’t dirty but rarely clean. He trips over his words and weirds people out when he talks. He has loud outbursts and fits of rage, followed by a lingering stillness. Patrick is that guy who wears sunglasses inside despite the weather.
Pete is the cashier who takes notice and might be equally as messy.

Summary
The house is quiet when he gets home. Not necessarily a good or bad sign. If his dad’s out or passed out already, then Ryan’s lucky tonight. But if his dad’s waiting for him in the living room, waiting to catch him off guard and tell him off for some thing or another, then…

Summary
Pete Wentz; gone forever and sorely missed.
Until he comes back as a zombie of course!
It turns out that a second chance at life is much more of a mess than people realise. Grief is a group process and Pete is the extra puzzle piece that doesn’t fit. Newsflash! The world doesn't stop turning once your heart stops beating. It makes returning to friends and family four years after your death and a war very awkward.

How do you live life if you’re not really living?
Pete has the privilege of answering the question -

Summary
“I feel guilty sometimes.”
Patrick turns his head to face Joe and laughs, a little stilted, like he doesn’t quite get the joke. “Guilty?”
PeteandPatrick, PatrickandPete. Even their names are joined together, breathed out like one word. Sometimes it makes Joe feel sick.

It's like waking up with a word on your tongue, and while you remember what the word means, you don't remember exactly what word it is.

Summary
She grabs onto Trisha’s arms, sending them both crashing into the mattress. For a moment Trisha is straddling Jo, her curls splayed out across Trisha’s pillow, looking dazed and perfectly pretty. Trisha wants to eat her whole. Instead, she rolls off of her friend, trying to get her breath under control. Jo doesn’t say anything laying beside her, and Trisha is a little scared to look over at her.

Summary
Pete is extremely good at keeping his feelings - his true feelings - about Patrick to himself. He's had five years to perfect the façade, after all.
Pete makes a wish the night before his twenty-seventh birthday. Pete crosses paths with a man in the bathroom of a bar in St Augustine. Pete gets himself lumbered with an ancient Obeah curse. None of this seems particularly unusual - he's Pete Wentz, after all.
Unfortunately, the effects of the curse skip him entirely. Isn't life (and magic) a bitch?

Patrick has no solid plans for the summer. Joe has a dream, a guitar and some asshole he picked up somewhere on the scene. That asshole has a van and a band name.
Patrick has a feeling this is going to end badly.
He's not entirely wrong.
