Summary

In Chapter 4, Oliver awakens after having been asleep for two months. He stumbles outside and walks to Althea's house where her father chats with him for a bit and tells him that Althea is with Coby and that her standard of company drops when Oliver isn't around. Oliver heads to Coby's house and can see him and Althea drinking beer on the roof of the garage. Oliver notices that Althea is skinny and has dyed her hair black. When Althea spots Oliver, she runs to hug him and they jump into her car, leaving Coby behind. Althea drives them to the water and they lie on the dock discussing who they want to be for Halloween this year. Oliver is surprised to see that Althea now smokes cigarettes and he's not happy that she's been spending so much time with Coby.
