A Do Or Die Situation (Sequel to To Offset The Shakes) // Andy Hurley/Trohley
Andy now has full custody of Elizabeth, and they're finishing their first tour with her along with them. As the tour comes to an end, Joe and Andy decide to enroll Libbie in a high school near them, which Libbie is less than thrilled about. She gets off to a rocky start, like any new kid would - especially when you're a rock star's daughter - but as the school year progresses, she makes a few friends and even meets a boy, who is the principal's son.
In her new group of friends, is an old friend that she has a history with. Feelings are rekindled and Libbie's first relationship starts up again. On her birthday, October 23rd, her friends take her to a party - where things get very out of hand. Feelings are lost, trust is broken. Because of that, she resorts back to her old ways - her old self-harming ways. She isolates herself, not wanting to see a single person. Joe and Andy, even Pete and Patrick, are worried about her, but don't know how to help.
As her isolation continues, she finally decides to make ends meet by trying to be more social with everyone. But, as she starts to feel better and decides to go back to school, the bullying she received when she first got to school progresses, making everything ten times harder again. She's called names, horrible, horrible names - and all because she lost her virginity to the principal's son.
She soon feels like she's nothing, like she's not meant to be here. But, she hides behind a happy face every day, which makes Joe and Andy unaware to everything going on. Libbie tries to kill herself by overdosing, which, much to Joe and Andy's happiness, fails. The story ends with a life-altering shock to all three of them - as well as the principal's son.
Will Libbie's life be the same? Will the boy come back to her? How will Joe and Andy react?
