Breathing Has Got Too Hard

It's 2008, and Ben Bruce is 18 years old and living with his widowed mother in York, England. He began to crack under the pressures of life when his father was killed in Iraq when he was 16, which along with many other incidents set the scene for a downward spiral full of crippling clinical depression, 3 suicide attempts and a body full of fading scars.

Soon after his 3rd suicide attempt, he begins to seek help and comfort in the form of the internet, which changes his life forever...

Edit: This is not a slash story. I'm not above slash or anything, but I choose to write about friendships rather than romances. Thank you :)
