Imagine walking into a room full of people and suddenly your body stops working. You no longer have control over it. Your body starts to shake, you feel like you can't breathe, like you're suffocating; you feel faint and need to get to a 'safe' place as quick as possible. You feel like you're drowning and like everyone is staring at you thinking what a freak you are. You're mind has 100 thoughts running around per second and all you can hear is the blood rushing in your ears. 

That is what Caralina goes through every single day. 

She's just an 18 year old girl trying to cope with her anxiety and then of course out of all her teen years, this is the one where a boy takes a fancy to her.

Warning: this book's focus is drawn to a character who hints themes of depression and self-harm. The idea of the story is to present the experience of learning to understand and comfort someone through these struggles. So while these themes are contained within a comical styled story, they are still present so please be mindful of that before you read on. You. You're just a normal girl. A normal girl with a normal life... until you meet the boy with blue hair... Name: unknown Age: unknown Human? Unknown How can someone live a life without anyone knowing of their existence? You don't know. But you want too. Determination fills you with a desire to seek more about this boy. There's just something about him that makes you want to know more. He meets your eye. Is a name really too much to ask? He refuses to give you one. If you keep investigating, you'll get hurt. You'll be killed. You'll regret it. It's not a warning. It's simply the truth. You've been noticing strange things going on. He's not in any records. A shotgun fire?! He has wounds that heal all too quickly. How can a boy get shot and heal by the very next day? You want to know, don't you? Then simply allow your mind to go wondering into this book and discover the secrets behind the boy who no one knows. (This book is a representation of my experiences with dating someone with depression in high school. I wrote it while we were dating, subconsciously writing him into the character Infinity. I will say that I intend to rewrite this at some point to send a better message, as I feel some of the actions in this book are unhealthy reactions to depression, that I have a much better perspective of now) [I'm also working on a VN based on this story.... If my studies would stop getting in the way]

Claire Fortescue has a big secret. She's been hiding her social anxiety from those closest to her. Until she meets Brock, that is. He's funny, caring, kind. Everything a person could ask for. Except for one problem; he suffers from depression. Finally finding someone else not so perfect in a world that demands perfection, Claire allows herself to open up to Brock, and finds herself slowly falling for the boy with sad eyes. Handling her own illness is hard enough, but now Claire finds herself having to cope with Brock's increasing struggles. While she watches the one she's falling in love with slowly wither away into oblivion, a part of Claire begins to break. Knowing full well they share a romance that can never last, she gives her heart to the depressed boy. The one person she knows holds the power to break her into a million shattered pieces. *Trigger Warning; includes anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicide mentions*
