Part 1, Chapter 6 Summary: “Owen”

Owen has been arrested, and now his father, Callahan, arrives to function as his lawyer. Owen is upset that he’s in this situation and that he wound up ruining his chances with Auburn, so he challenges his father by asking him what Carey, his brother, would think of them. His father is furious and somewhat aggressive, but he tells Owen he’ll post his bail soon. Owen wishes his father would ask how he could be there for him, but he doesn’t. They agree to talk later.

After he’s out, Owen goes to the bar to see Harrison. He explains that he was arrested for possession, and Harrison is worried about his name having been brought up, which Owen tells him he would never do. Harrison is angry at him, though, because he keeps doing this and now it’s caught up with him.

Part 1, Chapter 7 Summary: “Auburn”

Auburn waits in a restaurant for Lydia to show up. Lydia seems to be standing her up, just like Owen did a few weeks ago. Lydia’s jilting is worse, though, because it’s Auburn’s birthday, her 21st. She gives up and, trying not to cry, pays for her sodas. She walks by Owen’s studio on her way home and writes a confession in which she says she liked this guy, but it turned out he was an asshole.
