(THIS ALL TAKES PLACE IN THE PAST. OLIVE IS 22 YEARS OLD AND THIS STORY IS A PEEK INTO HIS TEENAGE YEARS.) Olive is a good kid with a not so good home life...or life in general- for a boy of his age, he carries secrets, anxiety, and sadness that no one should have to experience. it's not easy to meet his parents' expectations, but of course he tries--only to get abused far more and much worse than his siblings. as he's nearing the final months of his senior year, he wants to finally experience an emotion other than self hate.. but when certain questions start to make him go crazy, will he be too distracted on the negative to acknowledge that things can get better?
