Summary
Some days, It would lighten up, giving him some sleep, giving him some space in his mind to breath without the constant snarl of a voice. Other days, It was harsher, belittling him as much as possible so that Jeremy would have to escape to the school bathroom before he broke down in class. On this particular day, It was the worst it had been all week. Jeremy had walked into school with his nails digging into his palms, found Michael in the hall and smiled and nodded his way through a conversation with him.
--
Jeremy would do anything not to give his friends more pain than he had already given them, so instead of expressing his emotions, he hides them behind a fake smile. Anything it takes for him to be less of a liabilty to them.
