First off, sorry that this isn't a chapter, as you were probably hoping. I love you guys. This is just a basic background check about MOAHB
So, I am writing this as of October 21. (New AN. yes I am posting it like 6 days later. Sue me.)
For one, rather than a person, this story is dedicated to a song.
The song would be called "Homecoming." by Greenday. The reason why is because one day, while I was listening to it, I decided to mindlessly listen to the next lyrics closely. And the next lyrics were:
Here they come marching down the street
Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat
Coming back from the edge of town
Underneath their feet
The time has come and it going nowhere
Nobody ever said that life was fair now
For some reason, when I listened to those lyrics, ideas of my story started popping into my head like crazy. I had already started typing a random first chapter for a FF but I couldn't quite comprehend what the title should be. Then it hit me. I decided, most likely no one has used this title already. Who listens that closely to a 9 minute song?
Lol well it is a good thing I did. I just thought it would be cool to let the readers know how I got the title (And a lot of the ideas) for Murmur of a Heart Beat. Well, there you go. I did the same thing for the sequel coming out. I can't tell you what song or who it is by. I feel that it would just lose it's magic that way. Lol. Not sure what I'm talking about, but then again I am. Not like anyone is reading by this point anyway haha.
Well, as boring as it is, here is the story (summed up don't worry)
I was blaring my brothers MP3 player as loud as I could while I was doing dishes. I was in a bad mood so I just felt like having my music screaming at me, rather than me screaming at anyone else. My MP3 player died, and I was royally pissed off at my brother, so I used his, not really caring about whether I dropped it in the sink or not. You see, Unfair was a basic word in my house to describe my family. While my brothers ate and stuffed their faces before heading off to one of their friend's houses, I was stuck at home, forced to do all of the chores with no payment in return. (Including gathering all of their crap from the living room. Dirty socks. Back packs, books, plates, dishes, ect.) So, as angry as I was, I felt like listening to rock. I listened to Metallica, then turned it. Linkin Park, then turned it. Finally, out of frustration, I just settled on Green Day. Well, as I listened to the songs, (Yes. Especially the 9 minute ones. It took so long to do the dishes. My family is full of pigs. I am the only girl and my dad didn't make the boys do ANYTHING. He just let them run off with their friends. I'll spare you the details in how wrong I fucking think that is.) Well, I was so mad that I was on the brink of tears. No one was around me. My dad was in his room watching TV after me just trying to stick up for myself pointlessly. He ignored me as usual and walked away, leaving me with the two sinks full of dishes, which trailed all the way down the two counters. STACKED. Anyway, as I said before, I was so frustrated, I was on the brink of tears, I stopped abruptly and gripped the granite tiled counter tightly, taking a deep breath. I narrowed my eyes across the room, zoning out. I started listening closely to the song that was playing. (Homecoming) Well, as I heard the lyrics, something just clicked. And random ideas started popping into my head. For example, when Mitchie finally tells Shane she loves him. He doesn't react well. And they break up. Then, once I thought about that, I had to keep thinking about it until I knew I wouldn't forget it. Then, I built the story around it. That was about the time that the reviews started coming in. (Which I totally love you guys for since I was planning on leaving it there.) Then, because I noticed I had a few fans, I decided to continue it. Writing has always been my passion. It helps me get away from everything in my actual life.
To all of the people who reviewed, thank you all so, so much. I love you guys and I don't know where I would be without all of you.
To all of the people who subbed but didn't review...I'm so glad you liked my story. Maybe next time around it will be worth reviewing? I dunno.
Love you guys!
Love always
Kristen
