   Summary

   Will’s dreams had never been beautiful. They weren’t even dreams, really.
   They were nightmares. Pain. Secrets. And now, they were starting to seep into his real life.

   Will didn’t spend time with his friends like he used to. His sister did that in his place anyway. And no one seemed to have a problem with it.

   Will wasn’t alone—
   but he felt unbearably lonely.

   ***
   This one’s going to be really angsty—very much in the vein of my Broke Your Heart On Your Birthday fic.
   Hope you enjoy it 💔
