Out of The Woods

Lucas Cameron has just suffered the worst pain he's ever felt. He lost Jesse—the love of his life—in a tragic car accident. Now, he's broken, Moreso than he ever has been before. The summer after high school is one filled with silent nights of lying awake, crying over his grief. The spiral of darkness he finds himself in, makes it impossible to even do simple things like showering, or eating. When he reaches a turning point, Lucas is forced to pick up the pieces, trying to make something of the life he no longer wants. All the plans he had are now ruined because they no longer include the person, he never thought he'd have to live without again. A job. College. A social life. All these things no longer feel natural to Lucas, but he has to make it work. He has to do these things, hoping that in the process—as he navigates the world of new adulthood—all the things he has to force himself to do now, will become natural once more. All he wants now is to feel somewhat normal again, and to become something to be proud of, even if none of it feels worth it, even if he doesn't think any of it matters in a world where Jesse never exists.
