Behind The Music
Chapter 1: Soundwaves
To put it simply, music was Beca's life. It was the first thing that made her smile, her first word, the first thing that she used to get over hardships. She didn't know what she would do without it, she didn't even want to think about that. She had decided after her parent's divorce that all she needed in her life was music, nothing or anyone else. She was fine being alone, she enjoyed it. It kept the pain away.
But then the accident happened.
It was a sunny April day in Georgia. Beca was driving around, visiting her dad for the summer, as was the joint-custody agreement. She was sixteen and her dad had bought her this little vintage Volkswagen bug for her birthday. It was a deep blue, and she loved it. She stopped at a red light and was changing the station. She saw a flicker of green and drove forward.
That's when her life changed forever. For better or worse, she later couldn't tell. But at that instant, it was the worst thing that could have ever happened to her.
A large pick-up truck suddenly slammed into the passenger side of her car and the small car went tumbling, finally landing upside down after several flips, stopping a good ten feet away from the pick-up.
Beca's vision was blurry and her ears were ringing. She looked around in a daze, trying to piece together what happened before she finally succumbed to the welcoming darkness.
