"Life of Sadness"

At Ash's apartment, she just got up and give her nephew Joey a bowl of cereal. Last night he had some kind of panic attack. She wanted to know what was wrong with him.

"Joey, what's wrong are you upset about something?" Ash was sitting down on the table with him.

"I'm fine." Joey finally said a word, his aunt's eyes wide open, "And I don't wanna talk about it."

"Listen you had a panic attack last night, and you screaming really loud."

"It's nothing." He finished his cereal and got up.

"You haven't talked for over a year now, so what's the problem?" Ash got up to from the dining table.

Before Ash can say anything a knock on the door was heard. Ash opens the door and it was Johnny.

"Hey, Ash it's time to go." Said Johnny.

"Ok, Johnny." Ash went to go get her guitar.

"Hey, Johnny." Said Joey in kind of a sad way.

Johnny couldn't believe what he heard. That's right Joey finally said a word to him.

"Hey, Joey feeling ok?" Asked Johnny.

"I'm fine." Joey walked outside out of the apartment and is off to Johnny's truck.

Ash came out with her guitar case and was standing next to Johnny.

"I'm gonna find out on what's with him." Said Ash.

"That sounds good."

The three were now off to the Moon Theatre. Ash really wanted to help out her nephew and to see what was wrong with him. Joey hadn't said a single word in over a year now, but he finally talked.

When they arrived Johnny soon went upstairs to go play the piano, and Ash to go practice her guitar.

Alice was talking to Rosita about baby things.

"Trust me, Alice, when I was pregnant I had peanut butter pickle cravings." Said Rosita.

"You too huh?" Said Alice, "Also, I'm worried about Buster."

"And why is that?" Said Rosita in a more concern voice.

"It feels like the Green is pushing him really hard, and I'm worried."

"I'm sure he'll come down Alice, trust me." Rosita gave Alice a warm smile, "And when are you due?"

Alice rubs her tummy, "It's due in a week."

"I'm proud of you."

"Thanks."

Buster checks on the Walker Siblings, and they were doing Hawaii back flips.

"How's it going you guys?" Asked Buster.

"It's doing great Mr. Moon." Said Julie.

Then Meena and Tyler comes up to Buster, and they want to tell him something.

"Hey, Mr. Moon, me and Tyler have decided that we're gonna sing together." Said Meena.

"Wonderful. Have you picked out a song?"

"It's a surprise." Said Tyler

"I can't wait, and don't forget to practice it."

"You got it, Mr. Moon," Tyler replied.

Later Buster calls everyone to a meeting right now.

"Ok, everyone I know I should have done this sooner, but since Daniel quite I want one more constant." He points at Joey, "Joey how would you like to be part of the show?"

Joey's eyes wide open, "Sorry Mr. Moon I'm not interested in singing."

"Why not." Asked Buster.

"I can't."

"Come on Joey you can sing." Said Ash.

"No I don't want to sing, and don't want to sing ever again."

"come please?" Said Ash.

"No."

"Please."

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Why not, why won't you sing?"

"Because singing almost killed my grandma ok!" Joey then snapped, "Just leave me alone."

Everybody then gets a shock in their eyes.

"Wait how did singing almost killed grandma?" Asked Ash.

"A year grandma and I went out shopping."

Flashback 1 year ago

Joey's grandma gets out of the car, while Joey is signing You'll Be in my Heart.

Joey's Grandma couldn't believe that her grandson had such amazing singing voice.

"Grandma was getting oranges, while I was in the car. That's when a car, lost control. And I didn't even see it, or hear my grandma."

"Joey watch out!" Joey's grandma drops the bags and runs toward the card.

Joey stops singing, and his grandma gets him out of the car, but the car hits the other car with Joey's grandma in it.

"GRANDMA!" yelled Joey.

Flashback ends

"And because of me, my grandma is not in a wheelchair." Joey starts to cry.

"I'm so sorry Joey, I had no I idea." Said Ash putting her hand on his shoulder.

"Well now you do it my fault she's in a wheelchair, and I'm a failure." Joey runs out crying.

"What no come buddy." Said Graham

"Don't say that." Said one of the Walker siblings.

"It's not your fault." Said Tyler

"Sweetie is ok." Said Rosita.

Everyone then calls for him.

Joey makes it out of the building and sits on the stoop.

"Hey, you don't see any bears do you?" Asked Mike.

"No." Said Joey.

"Ok, good. Oh I heard everything, and I know what it's like to lose someone that you love, but you're lucky that your grandma survived."

"Really, you lost someone you loved?"

"Yeah, I lost my mother when I was 8 years old and I was raised by my father, and let's just say he wasn't that much of a father."

"I'm sorry."

"It's ok. And I guess that's why I wasn't a nice person why I first meant your aunt and her friends."

"I can see that."

"Yeah."

Ash comes out of the building and sits down with her nephew, and hugs him.

"Hey spikes, you have a good nephew there."

"Thanks, Mike." Ash then hugs Joey even more. "It's ok Joey, it's ok."

"I would love to join the competition, Aunt Ash." Joey then starts to cry.

The two walks back inside, and Joey tells Buster that he wants to join the competition. The others were glad that he's joining in the competition.


I got some inspiration from the movie Trolls, I haven't seen the movie, but I would love to watch it. What do you think of the chapter? Tell me how you feel about it. Don't forget to follow me, follow the story, and leave a review.

P.S. I'm going to post 2 or 3 times a week.
