He just didn't expect to find love in the midst of that. Elijah Tripley was depressed. It was obvious and apparent but regardless, he didn't want to stay like that so that's why he decided to do something out of his comfort zone and intended to go on a trip filled with people he didn't know and wouldn't necessarily want to know. But Josiah came into his life and uprooted that plan instantly, even if they did get on the wrong foot in the beginning. - this is ILL LOVERS and I hope you all enjoy <3 - (𝑴𝑰𝑳𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑶𝑵𝑬𝑺) #10 𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 #197 𝒊𝒏 𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒆𝒓 #84 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒚

But then Brendon commits suicide, leaving behind a cell phone with a series of messages meant for Len alone.
