What happens when they start to tear down their masks and really get to know all parts of each other - both the good and the bad? And when happens when they become next door neighbors? ✾ DISCLAIMER: While the story has been 100% written by me, this was made to be cliché (strangely enough, it was my attempt to write a good cliché). The pictures weren't taken by me for the face claims! WARNING: This story also contains some heavy topics like anxiety, death, and self-harm. Cursing has been censored with astericks but it does have mature content (nothing sexual though).Complete
