It was dark out. Rainy. But it wasn't odd. No one thought it was strange. No one complained.

It always rained in Oregon.

He wasn't there. But that wasn't odd. No one was surprised to see his desk empty. Grayson never came to school.

I decided to head to his house after school. Question him about his absence. Mess around with him. Let him tease me for going to school when he didn't. That's how it always went.

Not this time.

I knew he was depressed.

I knew it was why he rarely came to school.

But I didn't know it was that bad.
