Summary
It wasn't always easy being Barty Crouch Jr. The scarecrow son of the magnificent and envied Bartemius Crouch Sr.Yes, they carried the same name, had the same eyes, and similar-looking straw-coloured hair, but that really was where the similarities stopped. In truth, Barty Jr. wanted nothing to do with his father, not because he hated him, but because he was unwanted, uncared for, and ignored.Maybe he did hate him a little bit.And maybe that's where his insanity came from.Having Barty as a roommate couldn't have been easy either. He snuck out, came home drunk and/or high and then had days where he couldn't get out of bed at all: tired, no appetite, not even feeling like a human being at all.So how could Evan still look at him that way?☆☆☆☆A story about Barty's journey to accept love, to understand his feelings, and how to express them.
Note
Hi there:) I decided to start a new story with no plot set in stone in the middle of my exam period instead of studying chemistry... yes, smart, I know.English is NOT my first language so my grammar probably sucks (at least my English teacher tells me so). Sorry for that in advance.TWs for this chapter: a lot of self-hate and self-pity, alcohol mention and use, drug mention and use, memories and discussion of child neglect and trauma, throwing up, mention of depression, mental illness...This chapter is mainly just to see how Barty's mind works and how he makes stupid choices without caring for the consequences. It also shows how his mental illness (Bipolar) works: he doesn't think before acting causing others to have to deal with the mess he created, making him hatee himself more, etc. It's a never ending cycle.
