Everyone is always navigating the world through relationships - the ones they have, the ones they had, the ones they want and the ones that are thrust upon them.  Still, life demands we deal with it too. Raven isn't looking for intrigue or mystery; she'd just like to figure out what she is going to do about her feelings for her best friend and come to grips with whatever is going on inside her that seems to be taking over her life. 

But when disturbing information about her deceased father comes to light, things start to unravel. And as she deals with those relationships that have been thrust upon her she begins to learn that the relationships she had, has and wanted may not have been what she thought all along...

Collapse: Book Two (bxb) ✔️ by PsychoSunbaenim
30 parts Complete Mature
Book Two of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** SALEM LUNA: Does anyone ever feel like they're riding a mechanical bull that is never ending? No matter how many times you get thrown off the thing, you appear right back on it? No? Just me then? See, I have this best friend. Former. Best. Friend. It's taking my brain a while to get used to it. Whatever. I'm hopelessly in love with him, and I tried desperately to admit my feelings out loud. So, I did. Raven Fox told me not to love him, and the look he seared into my skin when he said it was now branded into my brain. Now we're on the university book club Christmas retreat. Who did I get roomed with? Raven because of course I was given the bird. The damn bird that didn't love me in return. Which would have been fine had he not looked like the idea disgusted him. Six months have gone by since that day, and our tension is growing with more animosity each second. Now, we're doing activities together, and Christmas is my favorite holiday. He's not screwing this up for me. After a snowstorm starts hitting, though, I end up stuck in the middle of nowhere, out of gas in my snowmobile. I'm terrified as the wind starts picking up and snow starts whipping my face. I thought he wasn't listening. That he didn't care. So, why did he become the one to save me? Why does he look so distraught? His words say one thing, but his eyes are telling me his words are lies. Raven is lying to me. He loves me. But he doesn't want me to love him. All I want to know is why because I can't breathe without him anymore.

The life of a child is something precious, but it becomes something more when you share it with another. Thea Luxley gains that privilege upon meeting Raven, another girl her age after moving to a new house in a new city. This is the story of their journey through life, and it all starts at the age of six. From the moment they meet, a special bond is formed, and both girls become inseparable despite their struggles. From grappling with financial instability to facing the church and its people, Raven and Thea are a force to be reckoned with. Watch them grow from young first graders into adults where they slowly understand what it means to love, not only each other, but themselves despite everything the world tells them to be. *** Discussions of Religious Trauma and Adult Themes***
