Hey, guys. Sorry I haven't been writing lately. I didn't have a very fun break. I got yelled at a lot. At least most of the time, the yelling person had his/her reasons. Whatever. This is my new story. It's called I Just Ran Out of Bandaids, originally named Laura's Pain if you read my updates. It is named after a line in one of Demi Lovato's songs. I'm going to be using a lot of her and Laura Marano's songs in here. So not only is Raura involved, but so am I. Here you go. Oh, and also, thanks for favoriting my previous stories! That means a lot! Also, My Left Shoe isn't canceled anymore, so I'll get to that when this is finished! This is Rated T for a reason!

Hi there. My name is Laura Marano. I am 16 years old. I have dark brown hair and brown eyes. I love singing, but I since I have stage fright, I can't do it in front of other people. Sometimes my voice is heard, but I tend to keep it private. I write my own songs sometimes. I'll be sharing some throughout the story.

Now let's talk about my family. I don't have much to say for my parents. My mom, you don't want to know. My dad's rarely home, but when he is, I spend more time with him than anyone else. I'm very close to him. I have an older sister named Vanessa. She and I look exactly alike, so some people think we're twins. She used to be all nice and friendly, but lately she's been all mean and grumpy. I wonder what's going on.

Next is my trusty friend Victor. His skin is kind of tannish, and he has jet black hair and brown eyes. He's the same age as me and goes to my school, so you'll see us hanging out a lot. He's kind of a rule breaker, as he wears his hat in class and puts his feet up on the desk. Those are my science teacher's #1 rules, along with "you only get to use the bathroom pass once".

Next is Raini Rodriguez. She's not really my friend, she's just a girl in school who keeps following me around. She has tannish skin, along with dark hair and brown eyes. She has heard me sing and wishes for me to be on television for how amazing I am. "Sure, I'll go on TV," I tell her, "as soon as I get over my stage fright."

Now let me introduce you to the 2 new kids who moved here to California from Colorado. They live up the block from me, which is not too far.

First is Ross Lynch. He has messy blonde hair and brown eyes, and he appears to have gotten a tan. He loves music, like me. He writes and sings songs, too, but he's at least brave enough to let people hear them. He's very confident in himself, unlike me. I like him, but why would a guy like him fall for a girl like me?

The other person who moved is Maggie. She has light brown hair and brown eyes. People think I'm her twin, too. It's weird. I mean, she's very shy and insecure like me, but she's worse. She's always hiding her face behind her hair. She only shows it to me and Ross because we're her only friends. She's very insecure because when she was 11, she got into an incident on YouTube. Never go on that site when you're 11, people.

Oh, by the way, I did have that YouTube incident, but I'm not giving you my account because I don't want you sending hatemail. Also, just to tell you, I don't read reviews. Sorry, I just don't. I'm just scared someone's going to swear their heart out at me or try to change my stories. If you promise not to do that, PM me and only say it if you're telling the truth and nothing but the truth. I did read one review, though. I read LoveShipper's review on my story The Gift of A Friend. What a nice person you are. If only you could review me again.
