Yola.com Would Never: Years 14 + 15

*stares in new Blogger*

 




Years Thirteen

 
Update: It's been a while, I guess I should add a recap ? In chapter 13 36-year-old Haley and 4-year-old Grayson have been living in Luce and Sara's condo for over a year.  When being Luce's caregiver becomes too much, Haley hires outside nurses but Luce's depression, overwhelming medical debt and mood swings get the better of him and he attempts suicide by having Grayson put medicine down his feeding tube when Haley is away on a overnight trip to film segments for a "buzzfeed for porn" website.

Luce is rushed to the hospital and Haley is questioned by CPS. Okay to the post:

In chapter 13  I wanted to explore the tensions among Haley, Luce and Sara occupying the same space. I've always seen Sara and Haley as having a good relationship and working together even if they aren't emotionally close.  Sara is kind of a distant person. I've sort of been flying close to the Lucely timeline in the Vice!Verse but now we've gotten to some years that aren't even alluded to in the Vice!Verse.

Years 14 + 15
I feel like these chapters are the very beginning of another tonal shift. A lighter one believe it or not.


Recap
Luce is two years into his recovery and struggling with depression. When Haley goes to California to shoot a freelance videos, Luce takes advantage of Grayson to commit suicide. Luce is under a conversvatorship by his brother but Haley is left responsible. This picks up six months later...
