Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours. -Elton John

Chapter One:

Concert

"Dad! Please! I really want to go to their concert please!" Begged the green eyed brunette

"No, Buttercup. I don't want you with all these crazy smelly sweaty teenagers. There will be drunk boys and girls and you will be caught in the middle. I don't want you to attend such an event." Said her father strictly not taking his eyes off of the newspaper.

"But dad! They're the Rowdyruff boys! They're having a concert here! Do you know how rare of a chance that is?" She argued

"Buttercup!" he said sternly.

"But all my friends are going this is so unfair dad!" She said annoyed.

Her attention was soon caught by the TV because of a familiar voice…

"Say goodbye, as we dance with the devil tonight! Don't you dare look at him in the eye, as we dance with the devil toni- Those were the Rowdyruff boys performing in Old City Townsville. Their new album hit number one in the global sales chart for the past 5 months! The crowd went extremely crazy and some even got on stage and had to be taken down by the security, not that the boys minded as they as played their hearts out for their beloved fans!"

"SEE! DAD! COMMON EVERYONE IS THERE AND THEY ARE ALL HAPPY!" Shouted Buttercup

"They sing about dancing with devils and you want me to let you go? No!" He shouted, " And that's final!"

"But they don't sing about dancing with the devils. IT HAS A DEEPER MEANING! DAD! STOP BEING SO UPTIGHT AND LET ME GO!" She argued

"I said NO" He stood up and left her in the living room

"UGH! YOU'RE SO… UGH!" She fell back on the couch and closed her eyes.

"Are you with me after all? Why can't I hear you? Are you with me through it all? Then why can't I feel you?"

She opened her eyes and sat back up and watched as the three boys kept playing and the crowd cheered happily, singing along with the band. She gripped hard on the pillow as her favorite song began to play.

Jesus, they're so good she thought

She sighed. She was one of their biggest fans.

Their music captured her heart, and the lead singer Brick had a unique voice that she just could not get over. It calmed her down and sent her down heaven's gates.

As the camera moved and viewed the dark-haired guitarist, Butch, it gave her a chance to take notice of how his brows were relaxed and his eyes were closed. Clearly showing how caught up he was in the music. Not that she blames him. They were extremely talented.

Then again the camera moved to view the crowd and shifted to the blonde drummer. The girls favorite band member. She had to admit he was a cutie, and one hell of a jokester. His playful personality was far different from the other two. They were more serious, more mysterious, it was alluring to her. And most girls.

She wasn't the type of person to fan-girl over a bunch of guys, but them. Damn, they were different.

It was rare nowadays that music like this, music this band makes still exists. Most music was all about sex and drugs which bored her to death. Sure, they were fun to dance to, but sometimes you just needed to listen to music that captivates you, that takes you to a whole new level.

She watched them play and smiled softly to herself.

This band helped her through so much. Their music helped her through the rough times. When she felt helpless and alone. It was their music that lifted her up and guided her when there was no one for her. That made her stop taking drugs and stop the self-harm. It was their music that changed her life for the better. And she loved them so much.

It was because of them. Because of them she was better. Much better.

She stretched her arms getting ready for another argument with her dad over this topic for the 5th time this week.

"Oh, dad!" She called out in a sing-a-song voice.

So, I had this story in mind for awhile but I never had the guts to write it, but I punched the hell out of my gut and here it is!

Hope you like it!

Also, both songs are from Breaking Benjamin

First is "Dancing with the Devil" Second is "Ashes of Eden".
