Quiet (Danny, Open to anyone at London College)

[daniel_marlow]

Danny hadn't slept well the night before and there were dark circles under his eyes. By this free period, right before lunchtime, it was a struggle just to stay upright and he had to appetite to speak of. Instead of eating, he got a huge cup of coffee and went to a bench outside to sip at it.

Once parked on the bench, he pulled out his journal and started to record the details of his nightmares the night before. His therapist wanted Danny to keep track of them and if the woman thought it would help, Danny would try it. By this point he didn't think anything would ever make them go away, but he had to try. He idea of his entire life being like this was unimaginable.

He heard people walk around him from time to time, but he didn't really look up. He figured if they wanted him, they would say something.

Rachel nodded, yes that Zoe. "I kind of grew up pretty poor but then my Dad married again and she has lots of money because she's an investment banker. I never really knew anyone rich until he met her. And people in my old school might have been mad I guess? But everyone just got on with it. Like... my old therapist said that money didn't mean you didn't have problems, but it never felt true, you know? And then I found out I was going to be coming here, and I thought... welp, this isn't going to work. But then there was Zoe, who had issues and a mansion. And then there's you too. I don't know. Maybe I don't know anything anymore."
