No one ever told kids about how much it hurt to wake up after having your stomach pumped. The suicide talks they brought oddly cheery young men and women into schools to do never seemed to focus on what you had to deal with if you tried and failed. They didn’t tell you about the empty ache in your stomach, or the tingling pain through your limbs, or the dry scratch in your throat. They focused on the don’t and not the if you do. But maybe knowing what it would feel like wouldn’t have stopped Lena. 

Pretending she knew nothing was hard. Leaving class before a panic attack hit her had become increasingly difficult, despite her teachers favouring her for her good grades and dead brother. They came on suddenly, without warning. It hit her like a freight train every time. She wished she hadn’t found that box every second of each day. Without it, she wouldn’t be dependent on the little pills she carried in her purse. 

That days panic attack hit her for no reason, whatsoever. No warning to it. She was in the middle of a sentence, smiling at Danny, when something moved out of the corner of her eye. It was nothing, when she tilted her head to look, but suddenly her palms were sweating and her tongue was too dry to finish her words. 

The pen across her paper made a soft scratching noise that could only comfort her. She hummed softly, picking up her coffee only to realize that it was empty. Sighing, Lena stood, dumping the empty coffee into a dish pan and getting in line for another.

Touch - Troye Sivan for Jackson and Danny. Pretty sure they had sex to this song. Just sayin'. Standing in the eye of the storm My eyes start to roam To the curl of your lips In the center of eclipse In total darkness I reach, I reach out and touch

Uh... You know, I really didn't need the imagery in my mind. I'm just going to bleach my brain now while they listen to this... again?

For Jackson, From Danny. Wanted by Hunter Hayes

As good as you make me feel I wanna make you feel better Better than your fairy tales Better than your best dreams You're more than everything I need You're all I ever wanted All I ever wanted

All I'm gonna say is awwwwwe. Cheeseballs.

Ethan made his way up the stairs in Danny's house, taking care not to spill any of the books he had balancing in his right hand. Turning into Danny's room, Ethan got as far in as he could before just letting the unstable pile fly onto the bed in a mass of literature. Danny was in charge of food, of course - he always was - and while he was down in the kitchen, Ethan used the time to relax a bit. Once Danny got up the stairs it was time to hit the books pretty hard, especially after Ethan had shared what his current grade in math was. He was lucky he even got to go to prom after the looks he got from Danny about that one.

But what a night it was. Rolling onto his side, he glanced over at the adjacent chair and saw the pants of Danny's suit still draped over the back. He smiled and thought to himself happily until he heard the steps of the Math Warden on the steps outside of the door.

Ethan stood bare in front of his bed, picking out his clothes for the task at hand. It was never really important what he wore, but there were important things happening today, and it wouldn't hurt to be dressed to impress. After some time just standing about, concluding that Danny wouldn't really care what he was wearing, he went with what he thought looked least awful.

It had been a week since he and Danny had shared minor updates and buried the hatchet of being gone for so long without contact. Although both of them wanted to say more, the feelings were too raw then and neither of them pressed it. Since then, Danny had been practically silent. There were texts here and there, but nothing of substance. Ethan felt like it was time to see where things went from here - whether there was something there or not, and if there was, whether he wanted to continue it.

After taking an additional twenty minutes or so mentally preparing himself for what he didn;t even understand yet, Ethan set out of the house to finally bring some much needed closure to a dragged out situation.

He only hoped Danny was home when he got there.
