"Noah dear we are sorry we cannot be there for your birthday I know how important this is for you."
"Mom and dad you guys never be there for my birthday" The 8 year old me replied.
"Your aunt and your cousin Jack are going to be there I am sure you will have fun with them and you can even invite the girl in your neighborhood"
"But mom and dad last year also you guys missed my birthday!!!!!!!!"
"We are sorry dear. We love you. We will be back soon and bring you amazing gifts"
"I hate you guys"

Why would I even remember this incident right now. What is wrong with me.
I can't live with this guilt forever.
My parents died in a car accident and the last word I said was I hate you. I didn't hate them, I never did!!
They never showed up for any of my birthdays.Aunt said they always were out for work,hence I had to live with aunt and Jack more, but,I needed my parents. Noah you are 17 now it's okay years have passed. You can't live on this guilt.

"Hey man , Noah" Daniel called
"Yo, whatsup"
"Noah I found an amazing song for our band"
"Great I'll bring my electric guitar to school to play the tunes"
"Cool cool man I'll let John and Caleb know"
"Yes"
I am in a band. I love to play the guitar whether it's electronic or acoustic. I enjoy it. I escape from the reality while playing the guitar it takes me to my own world.
************************************************************************
"Noah are you ready to play the guitar on spot???" Daniel, John and Caleb all of them in unison ask me that.
"Yes I think it is a great idea to play it front of the entire school, everyone loves our band 'Oversight' "
"Noah you are unbelievable man we wish we had the confidence like you"
"Come on guys we are a band let's rock it!!!"

I started to play my guitar and damnnnnn the song the rythm everything going so smoothly and all the students cheering for us. It was such a great mixture of what I wanted. I wanted attention I loved it cuz I could never get it. I was so immersed by what I was playing that I did not even realise that the performance was over.

The song stopped,instruments stopped and Daniel tapped on my shoulder and I came back to the reality. I heard so many people cheering for us. ME ME ME.

Suddenly I saw a familiar face. A girl with green eyes, brown hair in a bun. She looked at me looking at her. I looked away instantly
Why would I even look at her do I know her?  It's all about me, she should look at me just like all the other people giving me attention!!!
I laughed
