Beautiful Mess [On Hold]

Chapter one - Goodbyes

Chapter one - Goodbyes

Melody's P.O.V

Do you know that feeling? The feeling that occurs when everything seems alright, nearly perfect and all of a sudden everything vanishes and your dreams shatter to pieces?

You don't? Well, I do. And let me tell you, it isn't pleasant.

Since two years now, I came my dream - to publish and produce my own music - closer. Me and my band Broken Silence were successful with our music. Well, as successful as you can get in a little town like Rosegate. But we managed it. At the beginning we would always play in my garage, than moved to school festivals and now we were playing every Saturday at the towns pub JayO's.Everything seemed like a dream came true,  and it sure felt like it too. We were ecstatic when we got the offer for weekly gigs. We loved it to play together, we still do, but every beautiful thing comes to an end.

And so were we, which led us to our current situation.Standing in front of a full packed Landrover, that belonged to my best friend Jessica, also known as bassist of our band.

"I can't believe, that we didn't think about this," Alex exclaimed from his spot next to me. Me,Jess and Skylar looked at him, and we all held the same expression. Sadness. "I know," replied Jessica, sighing.

Broken Silence  consisted of me, Jessica, Skylar and Alex. We founded the band nearly two and a half years ago, during lunch break. It was spontaneous and meant to be a hobby but it soon became our passion. And now it was summer break and we didn't think about what would happen when the break would finish, which was in a week. College. Not for us but for Jessica. She was a year older than us and had to leave, in order to go to her dream college MAC - Musical Arts of California.

We were happy for her as she got her acceptance letter and even celebrated. I mean who wouldn't when one of your best friends got accepted to her dream college?  But we were so happy for her that we didn't think about the consequence of her leaving. We were losing a band member. Rosegate was located in New Jersey while her college was down in Cali. We would never be able to bea band when one of us lived on the other side of the country.

"Fuck, guys I'm going to miss you." Jess was sniffing,  which was a very rare sight because she barely cried.Ever. I stepped forward and engulfed her in a massive hug, fighting my own tears that were threaten to fall. "We will miss you too, babes,"I muttered in her light brown hair. She tightened her hold on me and sobbed. Blinking repeatedly to keep my tears at bay I felt the weight of two other pairs of arms around me. "We love you Jess," sobbed Skylar. I chuckled. God,we must look ridiculous. A bunch of hugging and crying teenagers in the middle of the street. But I didn't care. This was the last chance to hug and talk to Jess for a long time,  and I would enjoy it as long as I could. "Don't you dare forget about us over there Jess.  Just because you'll be surrounded by talented artists doesn't mean that we're not the greatest band that graced this planet since Nirvana." This cocky statement was typical for Alex and caused us to chuckle. "Trust me, I won't. How could I? You guys are the best," came her muffled reply. "I know," I said as cocky as Alex.

A honk let us flinch and we all let go of each other. "Sorry hun but we really have to go or you will miss your flight." Samantha - Jess' mum - was sticking her head out of the car and looked at us with sad eyes. Jessica turned back to us and nodded. "I guess this is it guys." We all nodded and I said "One last time?" They all knew what I was talking about. "Yeah",nodded Sky and we formed a circle, swinging our arms over each others shoulder. I began. "The silence we hate, is the silence we break." Alex continued. "The silence we love, is the silence we caused." Skylar was next. "The silence we hate, is the silence we break." and together we said for the last time our final line "'Cause we are Broken Silence!"
