Gray Daze
We get out of the car and he takes a look around. It's so quiet, no sound besides the wind whistling in the trees and the occasional flap of wings above us. I hear the breaking of small branches as he walks behind me. Me heartbeat speeds up and I stop, knowing he's standing right behind me. He's much taller, so he's probably leaned over me when I feel his breath dancing on the back of my neck. "Are you nervous?"
I almost shiver, gathering the courage to turn around "Should I be?"
The story of unlikely friendships, falling in love with the wrong people and knowing you're not like the others.
Warning: The story deals with topics such as mental disorder and addiction, which some readers might find disturbing

Jeremy's spread himself out on the big sofa in the living room, head on the backrest, his dark clothes in total contrast with the colorful furniture.
