Status Updates From America's Not-So-Sweetheart

after violence and then vampires, we're going for some good old DRAMAAAAAAAAA 💅🏻

Alec is casually giving away everyone’s personal information (for money) and then proceeds to attempt to convince me that he’s a changed man even though he did that same shit in the Campsite Wars…

"Get dressed," he whispers. "I'm starving."
"Yeah, starving for my d**k." It comes out childish and clumsy, not seductive like I'd intended, and Joaquin gives me a weird look, probably because he's not used to that kind of talk from me. But I don't regret it. This is my second chance, the start of my true redemption arc. I'm not going to mess this up.

He could be unkind to me. Point out that we broke up months ago, that I've been the one pathetically grasping at threads that are no longer there. Hanging on his every word, taking notes about his life like his personal secretary. But he stays quiet. Our shoulders are brushing, but it's not like that. We're friends, and for the first time, I feel like it's true.
"We should probably talk about boundaries," he says.

If I don't take this opportunity, someone else would and isn't it better that I benefit from this arrangement? I'm using the money to help Golden River, a non-profit, while others would waste it on themselves.
I'm just doing what needs to be done, for Acorn and Cashew, Hoot and Squawk and all the others. I'm going to be honest with Erin, open. Trustworthy, wholesome. I'll show her how good I really am.
