I cut him off. “The ceremony is about to begin.”
“Your brother has been acting weird all summer, but I never imagined it was something like this. If I’d known, I would’ve acted sooner.”
Marcos, weird? I didn’t notice. Shit. I didn’t notice! I’ve been so immersed in my own drama I didn’t realize my brother was crying out for help. Not even yesterday, when we all spent the last night with him. Marcos seemed... normal.

Hugoisthestar:
I agree. Have you seen his face?
River Phoenix:
Yes.
Adri:
He’s about to vomit.
Hugoisthestar:
He’s so freaked out. I don’t like it. He doesn’t look happy.
Adri:
