  Summary

  Mike watched as he rolled down the driveway and into the street, alone.
  Will was almost out of eyeshot when Mike yelled, “Wait!” Will turned his head back to the garage, and Mike knew his body language well enough to conclude that he was confused.
  He jogged to his bike in the corner of the garage, grabbing the handles and rolling it to the edge of the concrete garage floor. Then he stepped down, gliding to meet Will.
  “I didn’t want you to ride home alone.”

  Summary

  El knew that Mike didn’t love her anymore. She wasn’t sure if he ever did in the first place. 

  She’d seen the way he looked at Will, and it was the same way he used to look at her. Eyes wide, shining with the glare of the future she knows he’s imagining. Even if he doesn’t realize it yet, El knew who Mike loved, and it wasn’t her. 

  It never would be.

  Summary

  Richie sat in a booth at McDonald’s, fingers tapping nervously on the sticky table in front of him. His guitar case sat next to him on the bench. In the five minutes he’d been waiting, he’d considered picking it up, texting Eddie a quick “nevermind!” and leaving behind the two milkshakes he’d ordered more than once.

  ***

  “Richie,” Bev said. “What’s on your mind? This is like, the sixth time you’ve messed up.”

  “I could tell you,” Stan grumbled from behind her. She shot him a glare and looked back at Richie.
