Avi hid it from everyone so well. No one had even suspected a thing. Sure, he had his down moments, but everyone always assumed it was because he missed his parents, or he was just tired because they would go non stop.

"Avi, you okay," they would ask him all the time. Each time he replied with a small smile and the nod of his head, but no one really knew what was going on.
