Nirvana by mellxhoney

Torn between reality and the illusions of her mind, Lucy struggles to decide whether her memories of a particular childhood friend are real, fabricated by imagination, or perhaps something else entirely, like an apparition. Following the death of her mother at only five years old, Lucy had no choice but to live alone with her father, who handled his grief poorly. By being unable to move on, he affected her life in many adverse ways. The only source of solace in her life at that time was a friendship she formed with a mysterious boy of the same town where she lived, which eventually evolved into a crush. Now, as time passed and Lucy grew older, she wanted to make sense of her earlier recollections of that boy, only to find out that he was nowhere to be found, leaving her questioning everything she once believed.
