"Huh? What's to write about if life is perfect? If you spend all your time lazing about and dangling your old feet in cool streams of clean water? Writers need a challenge. They need to struggle. They need to fight." -Rodman Philbrick, The Last Book In The Universe Things were rough. I went through a period of dark times where I never saw the light. Now life is good as it can be. Who even knew you could write when you had so many emotions in side? Who knew I was that miserable back then? Disclaimer: I am not a professional writer at all so please don't make any rude comments. These poems were straight out of a notebook that went through a dark time.…

He reached for my hand, lacing his fingers through mine and held it up, as if it were still impossible for me to see it, when actually, it made all the senses I had come alive. No one knew what would come next, because no one could predict the future, but in that moment, it didn't matter that later I'd either be beating myself up for not being good enough, oh wondering if it was all a dream—no. All that mattered was that I knew the boy beside me would always be there, whether I could see him or not, and for once, I didn't feel alone. ⊱☮⊰ Andrea Wattson—she was just there. Need answers for work? She has them. Need some favors? She'll give them. From anyone else's point of view, everything's all good for her; a bunch of friends, good grades, and musically gifted. Though, no one understood. She's always felt out of place. The empty part of her was looking for something special and maybe impossible in her world—somewhere to belong. A lost teenager, she was, until three boys come into her life with a few instruments. Then she's suddenly in a whole new world of music and experiences. Maybe these boys will be the compass to guide her on this impromptu adventure. But an adventure isn't heart-pounding without a few obstacles.…
