Emily used to someone. A sister. A daughter. A girlfriend. A friend. Then her mother was murdered - and everything went quiet. Now she is unraveling under the weight of grief she can't name. Her sister Amy is holding it together - barely. But pretending to be okay doesn't stop you from drowning. Told through alternating POVS, The Quiet Between Us is a haunting teen fiction about sisterhood, love, trauma and the fragile hope of healing. Because sometimes, the loudest cries are the ones no one hears.

Depression is hard to deal with, all the time. No matter who or what the circumstances, it's hard. Lots of people have different ways of expressing it; Penny hides in the shadows. Penny has trust issues, and cannot rely on anyone other than herself. It's better to get the job done yourself, right? Craig doesn't believe in that; he thinks everyone should have someone to rely on- someone to trust. The two cross paths, and annoy the heck out of each other for days on end; until they earn one another's trust and 'spill the beans.' ~~~~~~~~~ {#97 in depression} 14/07/18 {#1 in short story} 22/09/18
