in which a letter emotionally breaks yourself along with a boy. ( © whitezwater )

A few months ago, Neil would have given up. If his father had taken everything he cared about from him, he would have gone to his father's study and unlocked that drawer and taken out the gun. But he was taught by John Keating for almost an entire term, and if there's one thing he learned, it's Carpe Diem - seize the day. LIVE the day. Neil doesn't give up, because you can't seize the day when you're dead, and sometimes rash decisions are the best decisions. He's not going to let his father take everything he cares about away, not acting, not the poets, and so Neil grabs everything that might be of use and steals his father's car. But back at Welton, he discovers that not only does everyone think he's dead, but Todd - soft, innocent, kind, oblivious Todd, who has no clue what he means to Neil - is hurt - and he won't wake up.

Todd is watching helplessly as Neil is carted away after the play, when he is visited by three strange spirits. Each spirit reveals to him a different aspect of his story, and the gives Todd one last chance to save Neil. But will he be able to do it? Or will he learn a lesson in preventing the inevitable?(A Christmas Carol knockoff, happy holidays)

Todd wasn't just going to sit by and let Neil go to Harvard without him, was he? After Neil is unenrolled from Welton, Todd can only think of how to be reunited with him. His plan is simple: If Neil's going to Harvard, he'll just have to go, too. Meanwhile, Neil is still trying to find his way at Brayton Military School. As time goes on, he makes an unlikely friend, and reveals what really happened on the fateful night of December 15th.
