When Cory's father suddenly dies, his entire perfect world is torn apart. 
Gone is the loving mother, doting sister, lovely house, and the huge allowance. Instead, Cory needs to deal with the bank auctioning off the home he gave his first steps in, an illness that befalls his little sister, and the depression that's eating his mother alive. 
Just as it can't get any worse, Patrick with the golden-brown eyes, the infectious laugh, and the rich life eventually showed interest in Cory. The thing that Cory believed would have made his once almost-perfect world completely perfect now becomes his biggest fear as he tries to keep his new life a secret.
With juggling his depression, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm; Cory just doesn't know if the boy with the infectious laugh has a place in his life anymore.

Out in the wind

　　“Why not?!” I almost scream as I yank the jeans Patrick gave me up before pulling the shirt over my head. “You are the most complicated person I have ever met! The one moment I think you like me, and the next you push me away. But then you tell me you had sex with Jaycee, who’s a prostitute!”


　　I look at Patrick with as most hatred I can muster even though I can see his face fall completely with the mention of Jaycee’s name.


　　“What did you say?” he asks steadying himself against the shower door.


　　“I said I can’t believe you won’t have sex with me, but you would do Jaycee. Some cheap slut that gets paid for sucking off other men,” I say. I know I am sounding like a child, and I know this is not my business, but a part of me wishes that Patrick will take this story and tell the entire school, the same way Jaycee did with my big secret.
