Summary
It wasn’t that they didn’t like him, or that he didn’t love them- of course he did. He loved them like he’d never loved anyone in his life. He loved them like the trees loved soil, like the bees loved the flowers. He loved them like his lungs loved the air he breathed. But his lungs tended to stutter, tended to fail- it was the smokes, or it was the city air, and he couldn’t always breathe.
All this to say they couldn’t always love him. And that was okay. Bobby couldn’t always love himself either.

Summary
“Luke,” Alex interrupted, his voice tight. The room fell quiet. There was no way to argue when Alex sounded like that, near angry with the knots tied up in his throat and tongue. It snapped into Julie’s gut like a whip. His teeth were set. “What the fuck are you saying?” Alex asked lowly.
Luke blinked. “Well, I mean, just…” he shrugged. “I’m, like, the expendable one.”

Summary
It’s so hard to play music. It’s never been hard before, but now, here, now that he’s broken and guilty and bleeding, it’s like he’s breaking every bone just to strum a chord. It hurts. God, it hurts so bad. But Reggie and Alex want it. They want the band. They want the stage.
They never should have left that goddamn stage.
He doesn’t deserve to be up there.

Summary
Alex’s eyes on him are too harsh, too heavy. There’s a glass wall between them that holds their understandings apart. It cracks slightly, right near Bobby’s heart.
