It's getting closer to december which means Christmas! He meets this girl named Mary alice who hangs out with Charlie, Sam and Patrick. They aren't really close friends. Well Charlie and his friends do secret santa every year so this year Charlie bought Patrick a gift, it was a mix tape with loads of songs that Patrick likes. Sam gave him a typewriter even though she didn't have to give him a gift. Charlie told Sam that he liked her and she kissed him but She doesn't like him the way he likes her. As december comes by he talks about how he is going to visit his family and how he is happy that he can see his brother for his birthday. His family drives to their grandma and grandpa's house for Christmas but he misses aunt Helen a lot and when his Birthday arrives (25th December) he has a breakdown about aunt Helen so his mother decides to go to her grave and bring flowers. At the grave we learn that Aunt Helen had a bad life, she was hurt a lot by men and boys and she always had problems, that's why She lived a long time in Charlie's house. She died on Charlie's birthday and Christmas in a car accident. She was going to go buy Charlie a present and that is when Charlie saw her last, when he found out that she died he doesn't remember what happened all he remembers was that he woke up in a hospital. After Christmas they return home and it's new years. He tries LSD and starts hallucinating and passes out in the snow. He goes to school the next day and gets teased a lot for wearing his christmas suite that Patrick gave him. Overall at this point he is a bit lost and confused.
I know now that charlie has panic attacks on his birthday because he blames himself for her death even though it wasn't his fault. She was going to buy a present for charlie when she got in the accident and so now Charlie thinks he is responsible for her death which is very sad. I hope that I find out more about Aunt Helen and I also want to see what will happen with him and Sam.
" "I'm going to go buy you a christmas present."
That was the last time i ever saw her. I like to think that my aunt Helen would now have that job she was studying for. I like to think she would have met a good man. I would think that she would have lost the weight she always wanted to lose without dieting. Despite everything my mom and doctor and dad have said to me about blame, I can't stop thinking what i know."
This passage is pretty sad because poor Charlie is blaming himself for her death and picturing how much better her life would be if she hadn't gone to buy the present.
