Tanner Cromwell had been in a horrible accident that haunted his dreams and managed to haunt him still in his waking moments.
He thought he'd never get over it, would never get better or feel better. Even before the accident, he'd suffered mental issues, but drowning had not helped.
When silence was too loud, Tanner left the apartment building for the first time since he'd returned home from the hospital.
By chance or by fate, he met a boy, a boy that would change his life, and he would change that boys life, too.

The pills made him numb, but at least it kept the thoughts away.
Charlie hadn't found anything to truly make him feel happy again, to feel alive again. That is, until he met the boy that changed his life for the better. They helped each other for the better.

I'm falling... Falling, helplessly and inevitably; completely at the mercy of the forces dragging me down. Having to trust in an entity's blind intentions and praying to God that they won't let me hit the ground. It's an incredible and horrifying feeling. A feeling that I live for. And I have realized that having something to live for makes you all the more scared of dying.

Amnesia [Lashton] Sequel to YDHMC
"Hey, Ash. You don't remember me. I'm your boyfriend, Luke. We're in a band, with our best mates, Calum and Michael. You... uh, well you're suicidal. That's what got you in here. You tried to kill yourself. But you don't remember that either, do you? Huh, the doctor says you might never remember these things. Ever. I miss the times where you were too shy to say,'I love you' unless I said it first. But, I guess, in a way, this is a good thing. I might have lost you, but now you don't remember what you hate about yourself. In itself, that's good. Now I don't have to see you hurting. But now, everybody has to see me hurting. I miss you so much, Ash, but I can't tell you that. It'd freak you out, and then, I'd have lost you for good. I'm just going to have to hold on to the slight possibility that you'll remember me to get myself through this, Ash, because, otherwise, I don't think I'll be able to handle this. I love you, Luke x." ~Please read the first book first 'You Don't Hear My CriesComplete
