Tragedy and Guilt  ( Chapter 1 ) 

---

  Maxine's P.O.V.     

I love to hang around Anton. He has been one of my only friends in my entire life. Before I moved in next Anton, I was clinically depressed from things happening at school , and my Dad (who was a police officer) getting killed in a deadly shootout when I was only four. Overall I just felt alone.  When my mom found a new man when i was seven, nothing felt the same. I barley even remember my Father's face.  When Anton came into my life, I felt the rain cloud leave from my head. Even though I was still depressed, the problem never seemed to get in the way.  By the first year of high school ,when we were both 15, Anton had asked me to the school dance with him. I never thought we would ever be more than friends. But I surely said yes.  By the time Anton became known as Zedd, I went to every show with him, and we did everything together. Life got better, and without Anton I probably would not be alive right now.   

Anton's P.O.V .

At first I was lonely as well. No one liked me. Once I saw Maxine for the first time, I knew we were going to get along just fine. Ever since Maxine told me about what tragic things  had happened in her life, I felt terribly bad for her. At times I felt as if I was too helpless to do anything good enough for her. I had so much guilt. By high school, I ask Maxine to go to the school dance that EVERYBODY had a date too. I don't know what I was thinking. I was almost positive she would say no, because who would ever want to date a guy like me? To my surprise, she said yes. I kept thinking it was all a big mistake for asking her that. Many thoughts ran through my head like, "Am I really good enough?" and " Does Maxine really like me?" .  Surprisingly  things went well from then, to now.  Besides all of that, I did some DJing in my free time.  I always dreamed of doing things like that for a living. I showed a recording company one of the songs I made, and they were impressed. Thats the time when I came up with my stage name, Zedd.  Once I made a whole album by the time I was 19 and got it published, I was convinced to go on tour. I made a great living doing tours and stuff. Maxine was very proud of me for doing what I am doing. I finally have someone that I know extremely well that like what I do, and of corse, likes my music.
