Song for the chapter: What's Wrong by Pvris

They say opposites attract like magnets, that people who have many things in common don't last very long. People say everything happens for a reason.

Well the story of these two people proves that. One of them was a girl lost in a big world. Daniella Jackson, or Dani for short, was a 24 year old girl that had everything a person of her age wanted. She had her dream job, a very nice apartment in New York City, a caring and loving family and, amazing friends that were like her siblings. She also was an aspiring musician and actress trying to make it big in the entertainment industry. But, even though she had an amazing life, she felt empty. She felt like there was something missing.

Christopher Wolstenholme, or Chris, had the world too. At one point he had an amazing family that included 6 beautiful children and a loving and caring wife. He also had probably one of the best careers of all time. He was the bassist and backing vocalist of a very popular English rock band called Muse.

But all of that started falling apart after he found out his wife was having an affair. They got a divorce but, he was broken. The once happy man was now heart broken and depressed. It felt like someone had shoved knives into his tender heart and left him alone. But it got worse when he found out his children blamed him for the divorce. But, he wasn't able to talk to them or make it better because he had to go back on the road in order to cover the American half of the World Tour Muse was on. He slowly turned back to drinking and smoking. And it was affecting his playing and his feelings. He thought that he would never find happiness or love in someone ever again.

It's hard to imagine that someone who is searching for love in the sea of souls known as earth and someone who is looking to escape love could ever fall in love. But everything happens for a reason.

♡♡♡♡Dani's p.o.v♡♡♡♡
I wake up to the loud and annoying sound of my alarm. I try to hit the snooze on my phone but, I realize that I can't sleep an extra 5 minutes because I have to go to work then, I have to go to band practice. I immediately get up and strip of my clothes so I could get in the shower. Afterwards, I brushed through my medium length, dark, chestnut colored hair. I'm thinking of dying it black though because I thought it would suit me a little more.

I went into my closet to pick out my outfit for the day. "Not to fancy, and not to casual" I said to myself. Just then, my dog, Macy came into the room. She's a gray and white husky with the most beautiful icy blue eyes. She's still fairly small because she's only 5 months old. I pet her and talk to her in a baby voice. " hi baby! Are you hungry? Let's go get you food" I smile at her. She's one of the only things that I live for.

Yes, I have an amazing job, friends, family, a home but, I feel empty. I want to feel loved and needed by someone. I want someone to love and need me as much as I need them. I'm constantly told "Cmon Dani, don't be so dramatic. There are over 7 billion people in this world! There's gotta be someone for you!" And it pisses me off when people say that. I don't want to be with someone because there's so many people in this world and I need to settle eventually. I want to be with someone because it was fate. I want someone who was destined for me. But I feel like that won't ever happen.

I sigh, because thinking so in depth about these things kill me. It makes me depressed honestly. I may look fine on the outsode but inside, im miserable. I go to turn on music. The first song that cones on is Heart-shaped Box by Nirvana.

I sing along quietly while I settle on my outfit.
