(Heart) Percussions

Chapter 1: The Fall

Sorry this chapter is insane I'm trying to remember what I wrote in the first one but it's a bit choppy so I hope y'all like it!

Idea credit: @feralfemale

POV: Puffy
Under the weight of a broken nose
It's not that simple, but he won't seem to notice
There must be more to this
So leave those sink estates and let's go on holiday
I feel my heartbeat and footsteps matching the rhythm of the drums
We're painting all the countries in blue
'Cause we're already boring, and we're already hoarding
What else have we got to accrue?

I close my eyes, letting the music take over my consciousness. Drowning out the sounds of school around me so that all I can hear are my heartbeat and the song.
And the Ramblers will say
"It's got a marvelous view"
But we don't know how many lives it took, no
They'll never know what you knew
I get so into the music that I don't notice the tall figure in front of me until it's too late. I slam into them and stumble back, one of my earbuds dropping out of my ear.

"Woah, watch where you're going shortie" I look up to see who I ran into and standing before me is Minx. The drummer of Lovejoy. I begin to worry,
"S-sorry" I say. She stares at me for a moment before touching my shoulder and walking away saying,
"You're fine cutie" Damn she really likes nicknames I think before shoving the earbud back in and walking to class.

POV: Minx
I have to say, being famous is pretty great. I get to meet so many people, have fun making music, and be an inspiration for young female musicians. But also it's a bit annoying because everyone's on you all the time, I can never really have a personal life. I'm very happy that I can still go to school with my friends but also it's hard to make other friends because a lot of people are fans and it's weird to have a friend who's also a fan.

Suddenly I slam into someone who seems to be almost half my height. I almost throw my phone which was in my hand and look at who rammed into me.
"Woah, watch where where you're going shortie" I say. The girl has brown, almost orange hair and beautiful sparkling green eyes. Her smile is beautiful but it fades into worry,
"S-sorry" I notice one of her earbuds came out and I can barely hear one of Lovejoy's songs, "The Fall." Which happens to be my favorite one of the EP. I put my hand lightly on her shoulder and say,
"You're fine cutie" Shit did I just call her cutie out loud? I walk away feeling my face going red. I've never felt like this with anyone in this school.

I get a message and take my phone out,

Lovejoy
Wil: Minx how fucking far away are you? Sap's being...
Sap: Being what Wil?
Dream: 👀
Minx: Don't worry I'm like 20 seconds away, I'LL SAVE YOU WILBUR 😩
Sap: SAVE HIM FROM WHAT BITCH?? 😡

I chuckle and put my phone away as I enter the rest room. Dream is reclined, tossing a ball in the air, Sapnap is trying to balance Dream's pick on his pencil, and Wil is twirling his pen between his fingers studying his song book. I pull up a chair and sit backwards on it,
"Hey boys" I smirk at them and Dream glances at me then does a double take,
"Hey Mi- Why are you red?" He's smiling out of the corner of his mouth,
"I'm not red what do you mean?" I laugh nervously.
"Oh my god you're totally red! Wil look" Sapnap pats him on the knee repeatedly until he looks up,
"Minx you're totally red" Wil says looking back at his book. I roll my eyes and Dream says,
"Sooooo. Who's the girl? Or guy? Or person?" He does the stupid thing where he puts his fists on his chin.

"Fuck guys-"
"AH-greed" Sap cuts me off.
"NO DUMBASS! Like FUCK GUYS not literally fuck guys" I shake my head and Wil chuckles a little,
"Ohhhh I understand. So who is it?" He asks, mimicking Dream's pose.
"Well...I don't know her name exactly...But I think she knows who I am" I smile down at the floor.
"OoOoOoh" Dream and Sapnap say in unison. I slap them both on the head and they giggle. Wil looks up again,
"Hey Minx c'mere for a sec, I want you to read this"

I stand and lean over his shoulder reading the song. It's good...but he's definitely done better.
"It's...alright" I say forcing a smile,
"It's shit isn't it."
"WeEeElL" I say in a very high pitched voice.
"It's shit" He says and I go sit down again and take my drumsticks out, practicing my tricks.
"Gimme" Sapnap says holding his hand out. Wil passes the book to me and I pass it to Sap.
"It's...ok" Sapnap says passing it back.
"I just don't have the same motivation as I did before...writer's block I guess" He sigs and we're silent for a moment when he perks up again.

"I have an idea!"
"What is it?" Dream asks,
"What if Minx writes a song?"
