    Summary

    “You know that song, that’s like ‘you’ve got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere, maybe we can make a deal?” Jackie says quietly when Nat returns to the porch.
    “You mean the song called: Fast Car?” Nat follows her gaze to the truck. The last piece of her old man, and the only one really worth keeping.
    She returns to look at Jackie, noticing the gym bag stuffed with clothes and cash.
    “You’re not serious,” Nat scoffs with a laugh.
    “Look, I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to throw in the towel and die in fucking Wiskayok, New Jersey.”

    --

    Follows roughly 10 years of one Natalie Scatorccio and one Jacqueline Taylor cohabitating in a Chelsea apartment while they learn how to be adults.

    Summary

    okay how do I even summarise this.

    Pre-Crash Shaunahat that carries on into the wilderness.

    Melissa has a dark, sad, secret homelife and has been dating Shauna for awhile, they're a secret too.

    The State Championship is coming up soon and Melissa is trying to balance both her home and school life, the pressure getting to her. Her dad is an asshole and Shauna is just happy to be here.

    What happens when the plane crashes and Melissa is the only one who knows how to survive properly?

    Read the tags I've probably summarised it better there.

    No beta we die like Jackie taylor, also I know they're in different years and Melissa is JV or whatever but for simplicity in this they're in the same year and Melissa is relevant on the team

    Summary

    She’s taller than Jackie, for one. Just about Shauna’s height, but she seems taller; she doesn't have that tellatale slump Shauna’s taken on since the crash, the hunched shoulders of someone bent over their wood-and-meat desk, of someone weighed down.

    “Down,” Shauna whispers in her ear, and Melissa slides down, shirt scraping against the tree. Later she will find a scrap of it caught there and tuck it away in her pocket for later.

    ***

    Shauna and Melissa adapt.
