The Institute

1 part Complete Mature

Zayn Malik is not depressed.  Zayn does cut though, scars lining his arms from years of doing it.  But Zayn isn’t depressed, he’s not anything.  He doesn’t know when he stopped feeling, when he went numb, but he does know that he can feel when he drags a razor across his skin.  He feels afterwards too, relief washes over him as he is reminded that he is alive, he can feel.  But then his mom found out, now he’s living in The Institute. Niall Horan is depressed.  He’s well aware of his depression that has had no real trigger.  He had it all back in highschool, he was popular, captain of the footie team, he wasn’t even bullied after coming out.  But he was depressed.  He would look in the mirror and all he would see was fat, globs of pale skin in all the wrong places.  So the simple solution was to stop eating.  But that didn’t work, Niall couldn’t not eat.  Plan B went into effect then - throwing up.  He had only been doing it for a few weeks when his brother found out, now he’s being sent to The Institute. Join the journey of Niall and Zayn learning how to feel again.  Friends come along the way, a schizophrenic, mute and a multiple personality disorder patient.  They’re an odd group, but they get along and slowly live their lives in The Institute.
