Summary
Someone had taken a huge spoon and scooped the organs right out of his body, leaving him hollow. And yet he felt sick, gut churning as the world spun around him.
His surroundings blurred until he was all that was left, him and the bottomless pit on his chest.
And then there was a hand, on his shoulder. The weight of it enough to pull him out of his own head, just for a moment.
“Todd? Hey.” Someone tried to get his attention, a familiar voice.
Neil.
or, they've been friends for a few months now, and Todd has been doing a good job at keeping his struggles hidden.
That is, until one day he doesn't show up at lunch, and for the first time ever he's got people who notice his absence.- Language:

Summary
When Wylan heard and felt Kaz's steps and cane coming towards him, the pain and torment that was swimming in his mind became unbearable. He clenched his hands so hard they shook, and he felt waves of anger and fear course through him brutally.
Kaz approached slowly, so as not to startle the kid. He stopped a pace behind him and stood, his cane in his hands solemnly, and watched the waves.
“You aren’t supposed to be awake right now,” came Wylan’s voice, surprisingly strong, considering the tears on his face and the tremors of his frame.
Kaz smirked to himself. “Have you ever seen me sleep?”
Despite his state, Wylan rolled his eyes hard. He couldn’t feel his legs anymore, which, in the back of his mind, made what he intended to do so much easier. His head began to pound mercilessly.
Kaz stared at Wylan, listening carefully as the boy’s breathing rapidly increased. Kaz felt the bottom of his stomach drop and he took a deep, silent breath.
