2046“High school. 17 years old. Just got out of my first love, you know, complete heartbreak. I went to the beach on vacation with my family.

One of my closest members is my cousin. He’s probably 10 years older than me, his name’s Baxter Matthews. I’d never told him anything about it, I guess he could tell I was going through a rough time. My dad had mentioned it was about a girl.
