QUIET [BoyXBoy]

!!BOOK TWO!!

Darren Amity always thought he'd never get anywhere in life. Too depressed to see past the darkness. He always wondered when it would end. If it would end. Eventually he just gave up and decided to let life or fate or God; decide for him.

Darren struggled with himself and his thoughts every day. Telling himself to get up and go for a walk, go hangout with his siblings or friends. Just to get out of bed..

Darren thought he wasn't going anywhere any time soon, at 19 years old.
He felt completely useless and ashamed.

He wondered if anyone had noticed him falling apart. Or maybe they've simply mistook his silence and dry smile as reserved. Stoic. shy. But it wasn't any of those, no matter how much he didn't deny it. How could he?

He couldn't tell them how he really felt inside. How painful it all was. But maybe all he needed was someone to catch him before he shattered.

Reuben always thought he wasn't seen. He felt like he couldn't do anything, so when he felt proud of something he DID do- he wanted it to be recognized.

Reuben thought he had a good childhood but his mind often explores into the deeper pits. He wondered if he was just being dramatic. Selfish or ungrateful whenever he thinks negative thoughts upon his parents. But.. was it completely his fault if he's feeling this way?

Reuben often finds himself in his own deep depression. Battling with himself, tricking his brain so things wouldn't seem so hard to accomplish. Simple things. Like showering, making his bed, leaving the house, brushing his teeth... simply living.

Reuben had always been isolated since the age of 12, but after his siblings all moved away and he moved a few hours away from his hometown where most of his family was, he just.. collapsed. And now... he needed someone to pick him up again.
