Dragging Eachother Along

Some people reach a point in their lives when they know they'll die soon and the idea refuses to leave their thoughts. Ivory Cove isn't 80, she's 14 and her only aspiration in life is to kill herself. 14 dreaded years of being beaten after school, having panic attacks for no reason, being taunted by a mother that won't let her leave the house and feeling hollow inside. Pretty dull life really. As some disgraceful school kids kick the sanity out of her a filling to her emptiness is discovered. It's not therapy or hospitality or depression pills; it's a boy. The one person that feels just as empty as her. A deal is made that if she doesn't die, neither will he. Both of them give each other half of their lives, which resolves in a lot of tears and hardship, showing how hard it is to give up self harm and suicide. They aren't rubbing through a field of flowers together as much as anyone else would want to with the only person that loves them, they're simply dragging each other's dead body
