y'all i wont lie i didn't think i'd ever publish this.
Audrey Godwin;
A rebellious spirit hidden in a body of fragility. A new leaf forces the weight of responsibility heavily onto her shoulders and often she struggles to cope, her fast mind spinning burnouts. Full of emotion, heavily swayed by her inner turmoil, a constantly raging tornado of feelings. A smart mouth and even smarter brain, tainted by innocence and teenage naivety.
Dedications
@ugh-nirvana on wattpad, for inspiring me to write again by reading In The Sun and Out Of The Red, both of which i highly recommend, Shelby is talented in her storytelling. Both those books really inspired me, made me research and allowed me to create Audrey and have faith in my OCs.
@/lithixum, @/casual.kurt, @/cqbain, @/cobain.mp3 and @/witchy.nirvana on instagram, no idea what I'd do without your guys' edits inspiring me. They constantly fuel me with ideas for new scenes and make me so happy, if not a bit emo at times. Good emo though !!!
and finally to Xanthe, who's an irl friend of mine, who inspired me to write this fic. The chemistry lessons we spent discussing the best nirvana performances and what concerts we would travel back to see really put this seed in my head. The first ever draft of this story, as wildly different as it has turned out now, was written on that wooden desk next to you, on a page of my chemistry book I had ripped out. Thank you so much for all that you do, even if you think it's not a lot <3
