Above is Mya's best friend Luna. *Also slight TRIGGER WARNING: Cutting, Binge-eating, suicidal thoughts* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mya's POV **THESE ARE MYA'S THOUGHTS**
when I was born, I was born into a family who hated kids and just loved to torture little children. So I was physically, emotionally, mentally, and sexually abused by my father, and my mother would just sit and laugh with him. My sister and my brother were the only ones who actually cared about me, since my parents wanted nothing to do with me. But they adored Pete and Jenn, they spoiled them to death while I was locked in a basement with no food or water. I wanted a life without any pain, so I would constantly try to kill myself.
My dad...would have his friends over and they'd take turns raping me, over and over until I was too weak to even stand. My mom would encourage him and drink the days away, abusing me when she was drunk enough. She would even carve words into my skin... But that all changed when I turned 17 and graduated high school early, I finally decided to run away and my siblings were more than happy to help me get started on a new life.
Of course I went to my therapist every other week, but I haven't seen her in a while. When I got into college my brother and sister couldn't be any happier, so they decided to buy me a house and give me some college funds to help with my fresh start. I thought this would finally be the moment that I would be happy again, but I was wrong. I got accepted into a sorority that I thought was a good one.
But no, they were a bunch of party whores who dragged me to every single party they held. Of course there was a lot of drinking involved and drugs, but what was worse is that I was drugged so some frat guys decided to take advantage of me. I still have the scars, but I choose to see them as battle scars.
I am getting better, but I am still dealing with the dark demons of depression and anxiety I was cursed with for as long as I could remember. Under all the pain and darkness there came a light, and at that moment it was Ryan. I met him when I went to Lollapalooza and then again at Warped Tour, and obviously we kept in contact. Not that soon after we met billions of time we became a couple. *I look at my lock screen and I am met with the picture of me and Ryan when he asked me out.*

And it was good, Ryan was always there for me when I had my dark days and I was there for him. We were what they called "America's Power Couple" but we didn't care about the labels, we just cared about each other. I started dating him when I was 18, and here I am at 23 single and alone. 5 years may sound like a long time, but me and Ryan wanted to take things at a slower pace.
Now as for my music career, I started that when I was 21 years old with the help of Ryan since he's had experience with music. As soon as I put my first few songs and a new album out, my music went viral in days. I had calls from record labels and venues who wanted to meet with me, and I was signed to Hopeless Records just a few months before I put out my first album. I became friends with artists like All Time Low and Neck Deep, two bands I became close to.
