Fly Away

The narrative switches to Marah’s point of view. Tully has flatlined but is still alive. Doctors will try taking her out of the induced coma to see if her body can function on its own. Marah suggests hearing the songs that were special to Tully and her mom might help Tully, and Johnny agrees.

Marah and Paxton head to Tully’s condo to retrieve her iPod, but Paxton complains that they need not be doing any “favors” for Marah’s family, as he insists they do not care for her. At the condo, Marah thinks back over her time with Paxton during which he has not worked, and she has supported him with her job. She recalls coming back to Tully’s condo one day to ask for money and finding her high. When Tully refused to help Marah financially, Marah sold the story of Tully’s substance use disorder to the celebrity magazine.

Marah realizes that she does not truly love Paxton, then goes to her former home on Bainbridge Island where her brothers welcome her return.
