Alaska was a problem child who lost the trust of many people when she "ratted out" one of her best friends just to save herself. Even after she was found out to be the rat she still had her close friends but lost their trust which was a big part of her downfall. One night she was hanging out with the friends she had left, and she drank a little to much got into the car and crashed head on into a police car. this was the final match thrown by Alaska because after all that happened to her nobody knew whether it was an accident or if she was so upset that she aimed for the empty cop car to end it all. This is a perfect example of how without trust sometimes you can literally no longer live your life. A life liven without trust is no life, in the long run if you don't have the trust of those around you then you are living a life nobody wants or deserves. a burnt bridge can always be rebuilt but not if you keep throwing gasoline and matches on it. In life you have to watch who you hand your matches to and not only that but don't light any matches unless you want to see yourself or someone else
