Authors Note-This story has some really dark content included such as murder, suicide, self harm, bullying and mentions of mental illness. I recommend that if you suffer from any of these situations please get help because it is so worth it, you are worthy of life, life has so much to offer. I am not trying to glorify mental illness or any of these situations I am just trying to get the awareness out there to people of how serious they are and that you should get help for it because you can get a better, healthier life, you deserve it. I myself have suffered from some of these things so please PM if you need to talk to someone.

Chapter One- Picking up the Pieces.

Ally P.O.V

Hello my name is Ally, Im 19 years old and I love music. I've always loved music ever since I was 4 years old. But back then music was only for enjoyment now I have other reasons for it. You see im not a normal teenage girl. I have secrets that will never be told, not to a single soul. I probably think you are confused by what im saying right now, so im going to give you a bit of background on my life. First of all when I was 11 my mother was brutally murdered, they never found the killer. My mum's death affected me immensely, im still not over it completely but then again I probably will never will be. My mum was the one that taught me how to play the piano and how to sing, she was the one that got me interested in music in the first place. When she died the only thing that was left of my mother was the music sheets of her compositions because she wrote all her own music and songs, she was very talented and the torn up photo album of pictures of her and me in happier times. By one of the picture of her and me there is a tear stain of the time I first looked at the photo after she was murdered. She also left me her love of music which rubbed off on me. I love music and I want to do it as a career because of my mother, she is my main inspiration. My father on the other hand was also affected immensely by the death of his wife, he plunged into a deep depression and about a month after her death he committed suicide. This completely broke me; I was never going to be whole ever again. I moved in with my Aunt Sally who is very sweet, kind and helped me with my grieving. I didn't go to middle school I was homeschooled until I could get back up on my feet and attend high school at 15. This is where my life turned even darker. I got severely bullied; people sent me death threats, notes in my locker saying I was ugly and worthless and that I should kill myself. They would grab me by my shoulders and shove me down the stairs. They would beat me and kick mud on my clothes and even throw footballs really hard into my stomach on purpose. I developed severe depression, I stopped eating, started to self harm and I even attempted suicide. My aunt noticed I was in such pain so she took me to the doctor and I was diagnosed with depression, PTSD and social anxiety. My aunty suggested she would home school me again until I was old enough to graduate. I graduated and enrolled to go to MUNY, the best music school in the country; it's always been my dream to go because my mother went there. Going to that school would mean I have made it. I have just turned 19 last week and I cried, yes I cried because I never honestly thought I would make it to 19, hell I didn't even think I would make it to 16. I got in to MUNY and I am ready to start recovery and start to begin my career as a singer.

Austin P.O.V

Hello my name is Austin im 19 years old and my dream is to be a very successful singer. I have always had a passion for music, I remember when I was 9 my mum enrolled me for all these music lessons and dance lessons. I learnt how to play piano, guitar and vocals. I was so passionate about music that I started to perform in school musicals and plays, but there was one drawback...I can't write songs, I have tried but they all sound crap, so I perform covers of songs. My mother raised me by herself as a single mum, because apparently my dad left when I was about 3, I don't really remember him at all. I think my mum is so strong for raising me like that even after my dad left. I'm not really that sad about it because I have never met my dad but I am curious to find out where he is and what he looks like because there are no pictures of him in the house. My life is good so far, I have enrolled in MUNY, which is the best music school in the country and I am so excited to attend and start living out my dream. I believe life is precious and you should not waste a single day, live in the moment, focus on the now and dream big.
