AWOL

Senior year and Ari is back at Beck Way High. The memories of Beck Way haunts her. They bring her pain, loneliness, abandonment, and guilt. The only person that could make her feel safe would be AJ, if he was still his old self. But everything is wrong and everyone has changed. Two years of boarding school was hell, but one more year of Beck Way could kill her. Just like it killed Olivia and in a way, AJ.

"Physically here, but no soul." - Ari

This is a story about grieving someone's death. You taking them for granted, makes you hate yourself even more. Feeling like you could've done more for them. Feeling like it was your fault they died. Feeling like they could have lived if maybe you just did one thing different. One thing.

You start pushing everyone good away. You abandon everyone, except the bad influences and then you don't even realize you shouldn't have.
