MEND UNTIL YOU’RE WHOLE CHAPTER ONE: THE HOSPITAL

Milo is free of the Facility and back with his family and friends.

But that place and its trials have left their marks on him.

As if the road to recovery weren't difficult enough, this walk is covered in pitfalls of therapy, hungry paparazzi, and unexpected family visits. Not to mention having to adjust to an entirely new way of living.

And the Facility hasn't finished with Milo yet. He has to face them one more time before he can finally shake their dust from his boots. At least this time, he's not doing it alone.

A reference for BUYB Milo’s major scars.

The ones on his wrists and ankles are more like strips of skin that have been worn and chaffed away from the bindings he’s been in and struggled against. The ones on the inside of his elbows are from syringes that he’s loosened or dislodged or ripped out himself. The long one on his neck is the same kind, one he actively ripped from his neck. The scars on his spine, his head, and the circular ones on his stomach are from the Arceneaux Machine. And, of course, the incision scar.

Bend Until You Break Chapter One: The Misfortune

Everyone says he is the son of Charles and Alice Sumney. Everyone says he the he's been cursed. Everyone says they're doing what is best for him.

But all Milo wants is for the hurt to stop. He wants to go home.

And he wants his hoodie back.
