Zyphere Holden is just trying to survive throughout high-school with his anger issues. People used to judge him but ever since "the incident", which involved Zyphere and a kid named Wyatt, everyone has been afraid to talk to him.
His life at home is just as bad, his two sisters -Nala and Niome- constantly bug him and get a laugh when he flips at them. They think it's all fun and games, they just haven't seen the worst of what he can do.
His mom is a very sweet person but can be overly nice and can get annoying due to that. He always wants to run away and just be free from everything, from school, home, people and especially his sisters. The only people he has by his side forever is all his friends: Oak, Kacey, Cassidy, Noland, Jake, Ray, and Sawyer. They're a weird bunch of emotional messes, depressed teenagers and gay jocks. That's definitely something you see everyday.
But..what happens if everything that was great takes a turn for the worst.

The Way The World Ends ✓
[COMPLETED] Indigo always had problems, but when her father committed murder-suicide against her mother, she had trouble keeping those problems under control. She had a fear of the world. Everyday actions were feats for her; going to high school, socializing, even falling asleep at night. Of course, her greedy aunt was no help. She felt hopeless. Until she met Nate. Nate had problems of his own. All his life he's had trouble staying focused. He wanted to believe he was normal, but it's hard to think that when you're brilliant in class and... not so brilliant on paper. He didn't want to have A.D.H.D. He tried to pretend he didn't, but there was something rooted deep inside him, telling him he wasn't good enough. He felt useless. Until he met Indigo. When Nate met Indigo, all he wanted to do was help, but could she reveal her secrets to him? Could two wrongs make a right? Quickly, Indigo and Nate developed a relationship that neither thought was possible for themselves to have. Could Nate help Indigo move on from her past and defeat her demons? Could Indigo help Nate accept himself for who he was and hopefully help him pass English? Originally a NaNoWriMo novel, The Way the World Ends revolves around two teens just trying to survive high school and hopefully understand themselves and the words of T.S. Eliot. *** warning: some sexual content, brief violence, language, and sensitive topics.

When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness.
