"I've learned, there's more to life than dying." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Harper's mom is dying. She knows that, and because of that, she has accepted the tragedy that is life. She's constantly going through the motions. Existing. Jacob's the literal example of Carpe Diem. He lives life to the fullest, throwing caution to the wind. To him, every day is an adventure. Living. What happens when a shoddy photo op and walk-into-wall combo brings Harper and Jacob together? Living meets Existing and teaches her a thing or two.

"Eva!" My Brother slams the car door shut, storming over to where we sit. I roll my eyes, not wanting to deal with him. "Go home Nick." I tell him, picking up another can of beer. "Get in the car!" He spits at me. "No!" I yell. "I'm fine. You can't tell me what to do!" "I swear Eva, you are out of control!" Nick finishes. "And something has to change." <><><><> Eva was always one to follow the rules, the poster child for good behavior. She lives with her brother, and never gave him any trouble. After a traumatic event, Eva spirals out of control. She falls in with the wrong crowd, and couldn't care less about her future. Eventually, her brother can't take it. So he decides to do something about it. Moving halfway across the country, to a town full of strangers, should do something, right? Eva doesn't think so. But maybe it's for the best. After all. Her brother says she's dangerous.
