    Summary

    She was supposed to be there.

    Her dad had said that she would be there.

    But it was too late now. She missed it. The recital was over, and who knows. Maybe that was a good thing.

     

    Or: The hours following Natalie's winter recital.

    Summary

    “I don’t want you doing drugs,” he says sharply, voice trembling, and he swears he has never meant something more in his entire life.

    Natalie just snorts. “Well, that’s persuasive, coming from Pfizer’s Man of the Year.”

    natalie's struggling.

    gabe doesn't understand why.

    but all he would have to do is take a look in a mirror, and he'd get it.

    Summary

    Natalie hates the night.

    People often think she’s more of a night owl. She’s good at school, she stays up late working, she answers emails at hours that make teachers raise their eyebrows. She’s awake when other people aren’t, alert when the house is finally quiet. From the outside it looks like a preference.

    It isn’t.

    Summary

    Mom and dad are screaming at each other again. She should really be used to this by now.

    Really, this is all she’s ever known. Days, weeks of peace followed by periods of total and utter chaos.

    But Natalie is twelve, and no matter how hard she tries to tell herself that she’s used to this, the tears streaming down her face tell a different story.

     

    Natalie copes.
