Dark Room

I anticipated this but I still couldn’t stop my reaction, like that gasp.

Chloe’s in in a wheelchair.But  William is there and they love her, but she’s paralyzed. She’s crippled. None of her can move, not even a little. And they’re drowning in debt on top of everything. They love her but sometimes love isn’t enough when you feel like a burden. And I (Max) caused this. Like, it was never supposed to happen.

So when she asks us to kill her it’s so hard, but you just know that she feels like that’s it for her. And in a way she’s not wrong. Life isn’t going to get any better, not really. I think most people just learn to live with it, but not everybody does, not everybody can accept what happened to them, and she’s one of those people. She can’t live with the guilt of putting her family into debt.

So she asks for the morphine overdose. I know a lot of people don’t give it to her, and they don’t realize you have to go back no matter what. But I thought maybe I would do this for her regardless, because it feels like this is the only decision she truly gets to make since the accident happened.

And then it gets worse. Because if that part was kind of hellish, this just feels even worse..

You find Rachel’s body. And hearing Chloe scream like that, god. I just felt it in my chest. And then Jefferson, of course. He just shows his stupid face and shoots her. I hate him so much. I deadass cannot wait to kill him.
