Strangetown, HWC Letters to Santa: Jaxy Rai and Zoe Zimmerman
It's two for one, with Jaxy and Zoe.
Letters to Santa: Jaxy Rai and Zoe Zimmerman
"I'm not fucking doing that. Sorry, Zo, but I'm not into that sort of gayass shit, okay?"
"Oh, come on. It's just like making a wish, or a prayer... if you believe in that crap. Writing it down gives it more weight. Like... it has more power."
"Like the power of The Secret?"
"Yeah, just like that."
"Fuck sakes."
"Humour me, okay. Just play along. I'll throw them away after we're done. I don't usually buy into this sort of thing either, but it couldn't hurt, right?"
"No, I guess not. I'd try anything right about now."
"Good girl. Here's your sheet."
"Thanks."
Nothing for me this year, Santa. I've already got everything I need, and I can take care of myself. As long as I have Zoe, I'll be fine.
Well, you could help me out with that whole serenity, courage, and wisdom thing. Especially the wisdom. I'll be needing that. You know, to know the difference, and all that shit.
Jaxy
Dear Santa,
Please help Jaxy get better. That's all I ask.
Thanks,
Zoe

It also wasn't supposed to be an intentional suicide attempt, though I guess it ends up being mostly the same thing when you try to drink yourself into oblivion like that. She is getting better, though, and she does have someone to help her recover and cope with her problems. (Her family has a history of dependency in that area, as you'll see.)
