Insomnia, depression and what's worse, he had absolutely no appetite. Things couldn't get any worse for him.

Yet when life had already made him hit rock-bottom, there was nothing left to lose anymore. Thrown into such situation, a young man who wasn't in the best mental condition, suddenly got nicknamed Midnight and found himself visiting the same girl over and over again every night in her backyard. The girl being the same one he had had a crush on years ago. 

The problem is... This girl has no idea who he is, nor did he have any intention to let her know. In such situation a question arises:

How do I make her like me back?

Midnight Smiles

After dancing to a few songs, Jake had to eventually drag Ryder out of the place. It was almost midnight, and it was Monday the next day. He might have gotten used to barely sleeping a few hours a week, and it's not as though he has anything to do anyway tomorrow, but Ryder was different. She still had to go to school. Jake didn't want her to feel tired tomorrow morning.

Holding hands, the two of them, bodies stained in colours, walked their way back home.

The next morning, the house was a bit more crowded than it usually was. Especially for a Monday morning. Usually, Mathew left for work shortly after breakfast, and Aiden was at school until late in the afternoon. Jeremy also had to go to work and Leah had to go to kindergarten, so Jake was alone in the house for most of the day.
