What is Mike supposed to do in this situation (no offense meant)? Being her friend is using her and being possessive, ignoring her is bad, it seems like a lose-lose.

(I hope I’m being pleasant enough with this, if not, I’m genuinely sorry- I’m running on fumes and my head and stomach hurt).

Yeah i agree with you. I think the best thing for him to do in this situation to go to paulo, daisy, sue, or even augustus and tell them she needs someone. He just cant and shouldnt be that person for her right now, not because he is bad or wrong in anyway but rather because they are both just as broken as the other. Kinda like how are you supposed to love someone if you cant love yourself but rather how can you be a pillar of support for somewhen you yourself are falling apart.

Not again… 😩

I know Mike’s not a prize either but Lucy can’t keep kissing people when she’s stressed!

HOPEFULLY that’s not what she’s doing here….

I’m fairly afraid she’ll pull the same thing she did to Augustus (not trying to stir up anything, I’ve just personally been having this concern ever since that teaser for this chapter).

Yeah, that relationship is on life support, begging for the plug to be pulled.

Mike is barely holding himself together.

They may be friends again, heck they may even make it to lovers but right now, they do need to see the damage that they’ve done to each.

And talk about what’s bothering them.

And I know for sure they don’t believe they have the right to do so.

I wasn’t expecting Lucy to be the one who finally notices how shut down Mike has become. I was truly hoping it would be his mom or girlfriend or Paulo. Lucy is going to be the one who helps Mike, even though they’re on bad terms 😰. Is this where Mike passes out and gets hospitalized, right in front of Lucy? Is everyone going to blame her since shes the one who was with him last and has a violent past? Who knows…

Kinda makes sense it’d be her of all people.

For some reason in the last panel I misinterpreted the gap between the top of Mike’s eye and his eyebrow as his eye, and now I’m just imagining him with two pairs of eyes.

People here dreading a kiss, i’m hoping for an “I’m sorry”

I hope Mike is just making it abundantly clear the damage Lucy has caused him, he already felt dread and atoned for what he was doing earlier with the whole Sandy thing, just being played along for the ride. He looks worn and tired, and hopefully Lucy can begin to see that if things are to work out, some things need to change for the better

…What are the chances that she lashes out, gets physical, and accidentally knocks Mike out, sending him to the hospital?

She recognizes the dead look in his eyes and the fact that he is withering away

Brittany  

Comment ID #201120

He is basically doing what she did just in a different much slower way, im honestly really worried about him.

Brittany  

Comment ID #201121

When I started reading BCB I found both Mike and Lucy to be a bit much, but with time I just feel anxious for both of them.

Both have done some shitty stuff, but they’re still just people, kids, even, within the bounds of the story.

I’d rather not see Lucy miserable to the point of cruelly sniping at her friends and relapsing into an unhealthy relationship or Mike utterly isolated after burning a lot of bridges and pushing himself to a destructive degree.

Maybe some apologies and then a fuck ton of space are in order.

Y’all what if Mike needs to go to the hospital…?

These pages hurt. I know it won’t happen but I’m really hoping for some restraint on Lucys end here and that she like, stops the maybe kiss and just sighs and monologues or smthn
