Fifteen-almost-sixteen-year-old Calia Johnston, who lives in Washington state, has a dad who is off on a mandatory business trip for a year, which only leaves her adventure-loving mother to take care of her and her two brothers, Tommy and Gale. Unfortunately, that also means that when her mom says they're moving out-of-state, they're moving out-of-state. When they move to a small forest-y region in Maryland, her mother picks out a slightly worn-down rickety 1800s-style mansion, which, due to its age, has been largely discounted. Calia's hatred for it only gets worse when she starts to feel the creeping sensations of constantly being watched. She complains about this to her older brother Gale and her mother, but all they do is be optimistic about their life there. Her younger high school freshman brother, Tommy, starts to feel it, too. But it only gets worse. Dark hallways, empty rooms, flickering lights, mysteriously misplaced things, loud noises, eerie howling, strange nightmares, cold spots, whispers, empty houses, creaking floorboards, strange shadows, haunted pasts, paranormal activity, screams of insanity, insane asylums, hidden passageways, basements, attics, a dead man, screams, yodels from nowhere, yelling, blood, blackness, graveyards, ghosts, possession, asylum, doctors, death, pain, and mentality all suddenly seems to have a meaning, and the writing on the walls all say one thing: She won't leave. She will haunt you. She will come for you. You will know her name. Insanity never ends.

Nico has lived with that term all his life. Psychopath.
He knew it was muttered behind his back when he walked through school. Thats how the world saw him. The boy who hears voices, the guy who talks to himself.
Everyone defined him by his mental illness, and no one had ever bothered to know him.
The word wasn't even accurate. Having schizophrenia was a pain sometimes, but it didn't mean Nico was crazy, even if the voices told him he was. The real ones, and the ones in his mind.
The only person he could ever consider a friend would be his psychologist (aka his therapist), Jenny, who he had grown a strong connection with over the 4 years he had been going to see her.
He didn't trust anyone else. Nico knew that no one would look past it all like she does.
That is, until Will Solace enters the picture, the happy go lucky college student striving to be a therapist.
What could go wrong?
.
This is a solangelo fan fiction and will have swearing, mental illnesses and there may be triggering moments that will have warnings.
I will hopefully capture Nico's point of view accurately, and what he his going through, but I have never experienced schizophrenia so it may not be perfect.
.
Kinda going through editing?
