regarding the girlfriend....
Spoiler
He breaks up with her over the phone next chapter explaining that he didn't really liked her he just accepted her confession cuz he was feeling lonely since his mama remarried or smith and that he likes someone else, rn hes feeling guilty.
But a scenario in which he had a gf he actually loved would in fact be horrible
This whole situation is actually pretty sad, I didn't really clock onto it early on but after seeing that girlfriend text and him longing to get out. I just, it's a terrifying situation.
I'm surprised that they're handling it the way they are, but I guess I can't expect them to be rational about things they don't understand, and they're teenagers too. Nothing you can do but accept it.
