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

　　By the time Mandy finally arrives at the park I am really worried about Andy.


　　“We probably need to get you to a hospital dude. You looks seriously faint,” I say to him as I raise him up from the grass with his one arm draped around my neck.


　　“No. No doctors, please,” he mumbles. It seems like he is way worse off than what he was when I found him. “I just need some sleep. Maybe a hot water bottle even.”


　　“Well we leave it up to Mandy. If she thinks you need to get to a hospital you better go,” I answer, still walking over to Mandy’s car, which she leaves running as she sees us and jumps out of the car.


　　“What the fuck is going on here?!” she shouts as she runs toward us, making up the space in a few seconds, coming to a halt right next to me.


　　“This is the Andy kid right?” she asks, looking at him as I struggle forward with him, which is still difficult with him limping every single step we take.
