In a world where anything and everything supernatural exist, there is a girl named Marlene Hendrix who lives in the calm town of Missouri. Or she thought it was calm. Marlene has had a tough childhood. An absentee mom and a toxic dad who can not han...
I make it home and my grandparents are already awake and eating breakfast.
"Well, there you are honey, come eat."
"I'm gonna go take a shower first, I just came over to say good morning"
"Ok well, how about after breakfast we go to the shops to decorate your room."
"Yeah, ok, let's do that." I smile and walk upstairs to go take a shower. While in the shower I just stare into the distance. My thoughts are antagonizing. The shower is quick, so I eat then gramps and I go to the shops and he lets me pick out whatever I want. I chose a grey and white aesthetic with photos and shelves filled with books

"We'll, do you like it?" He said looking around the room "I love it thanks gramps." I turn and hug him
"No problem sweetheart." He said as we pulled away. " I think I might actually fit in here. Right as my grandfather walked out of the room I got a call.
"Hey Harp."
"Hey Mari, my shift ends in 30 mins wanna go out on the town you know catch up."
"Sure I'll love to, meet you at the restaurant in 15." I throw on some shoes walk downstairs and right before I walked out the door I yelled up the stairs to let my grandparents know I was going out.
"Be back by 12" I heard back. Then I walked out the door and made my way to Harper.
When I got there her shirt was about 5 minutes from over so I stayed with her and then we walked to her apartment she shares with her aunt.
"Let me change and then we can go."
"Okay." I look around me, nothing has changed in here. Harper changes in a few minutes and first thing we do is get some beignets. That is and always has been my favorite snack or dessert item. Everytime I got upset my mom would go get me one. Or she would make them but since she's not here anymore I don't get them as much. Eating them reminds me of her and that brought my mood down a little.
Harper saw that and said, " hey look there's a band playing." We walk into the restaurant and sit to watch the band. They're setting up and they seem to be having a kinda intense conversation. Then who I'm guessing is the lead singer speaks into the mic.
"Does anyone happen to know joe to play guitar our guitarist called sick."
"Do it!"
"No"
"Why"
" I'm not that good at guitar"
"Yes you are" she said and stood up
"Harper no!"
"She knows how to play!" Harper said pointing to me
"Harper sit down! No!" She takes my hand and pushes me up to the stage. I shake hands with the band, they hand me a guitar ask if I know how to play the songs their doing. It's only like 2 songs. We play 'somebody that you use to know' and 'Wonder wall'
