    Summary

    While Jeremy's team is at the fall banquet the sunshine captain is stuck at his family's home. He spirals until a phone call gives him a reason.

    OR:

    Jeremy rolls over and looks at his phone. It's 3:47 AM.

    He thinks about tomorrow. About Sunday. About facing Bryson again, about the LSAT books, about his mother's disappointed sighs and Warren's pointed comments about wasting potential.

    He thinks about law school, about spending the next three years becoming someone he doesn't want to be, doing something he doesn't care about, all because his family needs him to be respectable. To be useful. To somehow make up for the fact that he exists at all.

    If I cannot be wanted, I will be needed. And if I cannot be needed, let me be used until there's nothing left of me.

    It's been his mantra for three years now. But what happens when there's nothing left? When he's given everything and it's still not enough?

    What happens when being used is the only thing keeping him alive, and he's not sure he wants to be alive anymore?
