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

　　“Perfect now?” Patrick asks as I look around the room.


　　Besides for the bare walls I do like it. It’s not really anything like my old bedroom, but it feels like home, especially with my books surrounding me, even if they are packed in stacks on the floor on the one side of the room.


　　“Yeah… The walls look a little bit bare,” I answer. “But that doesn’t matter. It will come in time.”


　　They say time flies, but I had no idea how quickly six weeks would pass in the blink of an eye. Mister Watson swears it’s because I have been putting in every available minute into my schoolwork, trying to catch up on everything I had missed while I was busy skipping school.


　　“I can fix that baby,” Patrick says as he stands up from the mattress in the corner, my makeshift bed until we can afford to buy a proper one.


　　“What do you mean?” I ask a little bit confused as he reaches for his backpack, opening the zip.


　　“The bare walls,” he answers as he pulls out his polaroid camera.
