I CAN'T.

Frank holes himself up in his room for the entire weekend. John brings him coffee and lunch and dinner. He doesn't ever stay very long, and Frank hardly notices him anyway.

"I just think... Smart people do stupid things sometimes."

"Wow. That's deep. You could write a psych essay on that."

"Smart people also use sarcasm when they're feeling insecure or uncomfortable about something."

"Maybe you can write a whole book of those instead," he says, bitterly, turning towards the shelf Xabi's looking at and grabbing a title at random.

"Maybe you should stop trying to prove yourself to everyone and look around and see what's important. What you've been missing all this time."

"Maybe you should take your own advice." He shoves a book at Xabi before he turns and leaves.

i can't. i can't i can't i CANNOT deal with this i have a paper due in 2 hours and i only have 3 paragraphs in and i cannot deal with any of this right now and you are just, amazing.
