Not only has Paige survived her first semester of college, she's thrived. With a new group of friends, top grades, and an interminable confidence, she deserves a night to let loose. Eugene has also continued to succeed academically, as always, but is still on the outside looking in, yearning for that stereotypically perfect college experience. All he needs is one perfectly planned coincidental encounter to break into Max's friend group and finally live the life he's dreamed of. Cooper is loving college. He's popular, the center of attention, and most importantly, he's no longer living at home. But as winter break looms ever nearer, he's desperate for one more night where he can hold onto his newfound freedom and control. At the final party before winter break, they each get what they've been longing for. That's also when everything falls apart. Chapters are published every Sunday morning (with the occasional extra chapter during the week). ***Content warning: Rated mature due to scenes displaying abuse***
