eveannajane: Suburbia - {1} Abditory Holden didn’t even have to check the time to know it was exactly 3:27, as the tell tale scream of the oncoming train reverberated through the previously calm woods. He saw it as if in slow motion as the boy lifted his arms out to his sides and began to lean forward, slowly, as if suspended there. He wondered if this is what Apollo saw in the seconds before Icarus fell. A scream may have left his lips, maybe, Holden wasn’t sure, but he was sure that something had taken over his body and suddenly he was lunging across the leaf-covered ground that separated them, his fist curling tightly into the back of Icarus’ green hoodie. Knuckles white, Holden wrenched them both to the ground. He landed harshly on the dirt, his breath being knocked from him as Icarus’ head landed right above his heart with a pained groan and he should have known then that he was totally and completely fucked. ~~~ In a two square mile town bordered by mountains on every side, one car tunnel the only way in or out, there are not a lot of places to run. Which means when Holden Mezanotte and Adrian Forrester find their lives colliding at breakneck speed, there is nothing they can do to stop it. Aided by their friends and the eccentric town they grew their roots in, Holden and Adrian will battle depression, homophobia, and all the heartaches of growing up. This coming of age tale explores the challenges facing two queer teenagers in a world in which hate seems to win. But the small New Jersey town of Suburbia is a world of its own. ~~~ Trigger warnings for suicide attempt, mentions of suicide, and depression. Stay safe.
