Holmesy texts Davis saying they need to meet ASAP. He comes to her house and she tells him the news that she probably knows where his dad. Also that he may be likely dead because there was a smell. But probably not however Davis automatically took the news as if his dad is really dead. He goes home and she ends up texting him but he doesn’t respond. So Holmesy texts Daisy and she comes over to Holmesy’s house.

Holmesy and Davis went to Applebee’s but her thoughts came to her so she asks him if he can go sit across from her. Then, days after Daisy invites her to go to an art show with Mychal and her, since his art is going to be displayed. When they were there they kind of went a different lane when all of sudden Holmesy and Daisy figured it out that possibly Russell Pickett is dead in that sewer. The smell was horrible.

Holmesy ends up talking with her therapist. They talked about the whole situation and ways on how Holmesy can and will get better. Then she ends up seeing Daisy and they both start apologizing to each other and saying how they missed each other. Daisy ends up catching her up on everything that has been going on.

Holmesy starts describing how being in the hospital has felt. Also, how she is dealing with the pain she’s been having. Then she tells her mom that she is in big trouble with no context as to why she said that.

Holmesy was told that she must stay at the hospital for a few days is they can check on her. If everything goes well she won’t need surgery for liver lacerations. However, that was the last thing she wanted. Then, she texts Daisy and tells her sorry for having that big argument. After, she starts getting her spiraling thoughts and they tell her to drink the hand sanitizer. Which she does and her mom saw her.

Holmesy and Daisy decide to go to Applebee’s. Holmesy then confronts Daisy about the character Ayala sounding like Holmesy. That’s when Daisy decides to call out Holmesy about how self centered she is and how she doesn’t know much about her own best friend. Next thing you know it got Holmesy with so much anger that for some reason didn’t let her brake which caused her to crash. They end up in the hospital.

Holmesy talks to Davis about how she feels about Daisy’s writing and especially Ayala. Since she is always ruining everything for the other characters. Turns out Davis loves that character. He asks her if she can come over and she does. They both end up going into the pool even though it was cold but the pool was heated. Holmesy later ends up going home and she ends up drinking hand sanitizer due to her thoughts.

So Holmesy has been feeling better because of the pills and other things that were working for her. But she has been missing Daisy and hanging out with her especially at Applebee’s but her relationship with Mychal kind of took over her. So Holmesy ended up reading her Star Wars stories. She did get a feeling that a character in the story started sounding like her.

Holmesy started texting Davis but ended up not sending the texts. She looked up his social media’s and couldn’t find anything till she searched up “the leaves are gonna you should be, too.” Then popped up poems. She read through them and started mapping out how the poems tie back to Davis’s situation. Davis texted her wondering if she was the one looking at her poems.

So Davis ends up texting Holmesy if she wanted to hang out but she couldn’t. The next day she had an appointment with Dr. Singh. They talked about the situation where Holmesy kept over thinking the kiss with Davis and how not taking medication is not gonna improve Holmesy’s thoughts. At night Davis texts Holmesy and he explains himself as to what he meant that he liked her body.
