[TW: Abuse!] [Scroll to bottom for ship.] Y/n, Alexa, and Katie have been best friends for as long as they can remember. Then, Alexa got cancer. Y/n and Katie make it their top priority to make sure that Alexa never has to go through anything alone. However, Y/n and Katie share something that's not particularly pleasant. Anxiety. Pretty bad anxiety, too. Y/n and Katie have both social and general anxiety. Y/n struggles with social anxiety so bad, he sometimes gets nervous to the point of being temporarily mute. He has a very slight stutter. Sometimes, he has panic attacks over meeting new people. Not only that, but his general anxiety often keeps him awake at night. He also suffers from depression. Katie's anxiety is pretty unpleasant, too. She worries over a lot of minor things that seem major in her mind. Y/n and Katie help one another with eachother's anxiety, while also helping Alexa with anything and everything she's going through, as well. On their first day of high school, Y/n meets someone with worse social anxiety than him. She has had a hard seventh grade that also gave her some PTSD. She's always apologizing, and is always nervous in a crowd, whether she knows everyone or not. Y/n falls for her. He finds out that she is struggling at home, and does everything he can to help. However, with his anxiety, there are limitations. [Jessica (my OC) X reader]
