Honestly, I'm Fine

Sam has been internalizing his emotions ever since his father died while externalizing that grief in the form of violence against jerks from his old high school. These little scuffles have cost him more than just some blood, however; he's lost his girlfriend, he's been out of touch with his friends, and he's disappointed his family. When he finally opens himself up the tiniest bit, he ends up cracking completely, bare and vulnerable, exposing himself to the world he's been shutting out. But can a person really change? Can Sam really give up the coping mechanism that has kept him alive?
