Sleep

Alex doesn't sleep. He just...doesn't. Caffine pills,coffee and the fear of the past aid him in not sleeping. No one really notices, or cares about the fact that he doesn't get more than a few hours of sleep a week.
His mother is never home, or when she is, she's off in vodka-land. His father...Isn't around. His few friends at school care, but not enough to make Alex feel alive.
Alex does other things to make him feel alive. Cutting, and harming himself, just to show himself he cam feel pain, and how physical pain is better than mental pain.
What happens when he notices his new neighbour doesn't sleep either.
Will love blossom?
Or will they just sleeplessly fade away?
