People have been debating whether Alex shot himself or was shot by Tyler or another person. Let me show you something. This is Alex in episode 2:
He picks up the pen in his RIGHT HAND. THIS MEANS THAT ALEX IS RIGHT HANDED. If you still don’t believe me. Here. Look.
Juice box in the RIGHT HAND.
Trash in the RIGHT HAND.
When he gets a stomach cramp he grabs his stomach with his RIGHT HAND.
Now look at this shot of Alex in the ambulance. The gunshot wound is on the left of his head.
Shooting yourself with your non dominant hand would be very hard, don’t you think? You might be saying, well Tyler took down Alex’s photo because he stopped Monty from bullying him. I think it’s because he’d already got to Alex, and he was feeling a bit guilty because this guy had stood up for him. But like Hannah and Clay, that one thing wasn’t enough to stop him. One act of, I wouldn’t call it kindness, something isn’t enough to make up for over two years of bullying.
Today I am wearing lacy black underwear, for the sole purpose of knowing I am wearing them. And underneath that, I am absolutely naked.
And I’ve got skin. Miles and miles of skin. I’ve got skin to cover all of my thoughts like Saran Wrap, that you can see through to what leftovers are inside from the night before.
And despite what you might think, my skin is soft and smooth and easily scarred.
But that doesn’t matter, right?
You don’t care about how soft my skin is, you just want to hear about what my fingers do in the dark.
But what if all they do is crack open windows, so I can see lightning through the clouds?
What if all they crave is a jungle gym to climb for a taste of fresher air?
I got my heart broken and I survived, I failed 3 courses in university and graduated, I got rejected in the very first job I applied for and got promoted yesterday, I went through hard times with my family but then two years later, we laughed our hearts out over lunch, The closest friends disappointed me several times but I made new friends and loved them with all my heart. I did it once, I can do it again.
