When Avery had gone sailing with her car off of the side of the road, she had simply thought to herself: this isn't supposed to happen.
Avery was supposed to be starting her new life. She was supposed to be at her dad's house, 1,437.7 kilometers up north, where there would be no more Jane, no more Logan, and there certainly would be no more Connor. She had it all planned out, from the countless hours spent on figuring out directions, to the exact moment that she would throw her phone out of the car window.
But absolutely nothing had gone to plan; not one single thing in the past eleven months leading up to that very moment.

Camp Where The Hell Are We? | ✓
Completed. ☼ " Her denial, that was like a dam holding back a flood of feeling, of sweet relief for desperate soil, holding back a flood it stood no chance against, as yet another crack formed with a strong wave that already knew it had won. On the other side Marley stood, watching her dam's inevitable, impending destruction - fearing, knowing, that quenching her aching thirst would be synonymous with drowning, would be synonymous with coming up for air, would be synonymous with surrendering to a force of nature that was beautiful in all its calm, but terrifying in all its chaos. He absentmindedly tucked a loose flyaway behind her ear. Right then. Another crack in her last line of defence. Another rolling back of a wave, gaining strength, beating against the tired concrete. Another overflow rolling above the wall, droplets racing to sink into her every vulnerable place. Another enigma - still being afraid, while watching the water, and feeling the ache " ☼ Praise for 'Camp Where The Hell Are We?'

Checkerboard | m.h |
"You're insane!" she yelled, slamming the door behind her. I instantly whirled around, clutching two cigarettes and a wine bottle. "You can't go around telling people shit like that!" "Yes, I'm insane! I'm fucking crazy! But everything I do is because of you." I closed the distance between us with just a few steps. Dropping the wine bottle by my feet, which shattered into a million pieces and flooded the white carpet, I placed both of my hands on her cheeks. She was too stunned to move, obviously not expecting that outbreak. Glass protruded from my exposed foot and dug into Andrea's legs but we didn't notice. The stinging pain didn't exist. It was just us, this moment, this feeling- this amazingly, suffocating feeling. It was just us. The cigarette smoke was curling around her ear as I stared at her. "You make me crazy. But I love being crazy because it's you that makes me that way. You make me absolutely insane, but I love you. So please, just let me love you because I don't know what I'd do without my crazy."Complete

Morose ✔️
When you experience the worst thing you could ever imagine, how do you react? - "The water looked so tempting under me as I stood there in the dark. The splashing sounds as the waves hit the stone calmed me down and I took a deep breath. Yes. This was it. I closed my eyes and took one step closer, feeling the curb under the soles of my shoes when I stopped again. Then my heart started pounding when I heard the sound of an angry engine behind me, a screech and a crash. I turned around, gasping, ready to pick my phone up from the ground to call for help- but what met me was a pair of soul-searching golden eyes. In all his twisted glory, he stood in front of me, his precious motorcycle's engine still going as it laid on the ground behind him. His hand reached out, as if asking me to wait, but neither of us said anything. We just stood there." - Olivia was a happy, cheerful girl whose life turned upside down one evening, over a phone call.

Moving across the ocean at sixteen wasn't part of the plan. New school, stupid uniforms, and helping at her dad's crappy gas station wasn't either. But here she is-refilling refrigerators at midnight, carrying boxes with broken tape, and counting down the days until she can leave. Two years later, Maria's still stuck. Still bitter. Still haunted by the life she didn't choose. And then he shows up- In a loud, beat-up car. With the kind of attitude that sets her teeth on edge. She doesn't like him. Doesn't want to. But maybe he's just as messed up as she is. Maybe he sees her darkness and doesn't flinch. And maybe... just maybe... gasoline burns better with a match.
