still the same girly bedroom nancy spent her teen years in, the only changes made have been subtle. new wallpaper here, a few furniture changes — but the general feeling of the room remained the same. a wall full of awards and pictures with barb hung next to bookshelves cluttered with mementos and things that should’ve been parted with years ago. to say she’s a bit of a hoarder is an understatement, but everything has a place.

moved in shortly after her parents divorce, monnie is thankful jason had previously bought the place and already started the renovations after it’s damage from the earthquake. with an extra room handy, it was perfect for the girl that could’ve gone anywhere, but chose not to. while monnie was closer to chrissy in school, jason became a big part of monnie’s recovery from patrick’s death because of how close they were. jason has become a brother to her, and thankfully she has never had to think about what it would be like to live alone.

moved to forest hills shortly after susan and neil’s divorce, max has hated living where she does even more so than before. it’s not the trailer parks fault, but more so how shitty the trailer is. when susan must work two jobs with max working her one, even then they can barely make ends meet. although, max would say it doesn’t help when susan spends a lot of her paycheck on beer and cigarette’s. max is the one who helps keep them truly afloat by remembering to pay the bills for a place she tries to avoid as much as possible. the trailer is just a constant reminder of the grief both susan and max still harbor.
