The Downfall Of Us All

Chapter 1 - Sunday

It started on Sunday. That was the day that would change everything.

I had a concert that night, This was the second concert I'd been to. For my best friend Morgan, it would be the first.

I drummed my fingers against my bedside table, singing and screaming along with the lyrics to, '2nd Sucks,' by A Day To Remember. I grinned to myself, I'd been absolutely ecstatic ever since my Mum bought the tickets for us! A Day To Remember were one band that were my idols! I loved all of the band members equally, but if I had to pick a favourite? Jeremy McKinnon by far! I absolutely adored his voice, he could sing like an angel one minute and be growling the next.

I smiled to myself as I ran my bath. Hearing Jeremy's voice scream through my speakers,

'Look at all you've become, NOTHING MORE THAN A MEMORY!'

I sung along happily as I watched the water fill the bath.

'You watching the water Hannah?!' My mum called up

'Yeah!' I shouted back.

As the bath eventually filled up, I undressed and slipped into the water, turning the taps off.

I felt the water soothe all the aches in my body, in particular, my shoulders.

I closed my eyes and felt myself and my body relax, my thoughts drifting to the concert later on tonight.

An hour later, I got out of the bath. Wrapping the chocolate brown towel around my body and a lilac one around my damp hair.

I headed back into my room and started by towel drying my hair, before giving it a once over with the hair dryer.

Flickering through my wardrobe, I pulled out a long sleeved black top and dark blue jeans, which I decided I would match with my new black boots I recently bought.

I got changed into the clothes and threw my silver pentagram necklace around my neck, running a brush through my scarlet red hair that fell down casually, only just past my shoulders.

Grabbing my hoodie, I slipped my arms through the sleeves, thankful for it's warmth.

Looking around to see if there was anything else I needed to pack into my rucksack, I grabbed my phone, ipod and purse - just in case I needed money for band merch!- and slipped them into my bag.

I headed downstairs to sit in the living room, easing my arms into the rucksack straps.

'Han, could you grab the drinks and snacks from the fridge?' My Dad asked.

'Sure!' I jumped up and quickly packed the drinks and snacks for the journey into the front part of my bag, luckily there was still room.

'We ready to go?' My mum asked, a load of bags in her hands.

My Dad looked at me and I gave a nod.

'Let's do it then!' She threw me a grin, I couldn't help but smile back as we drove to pick up Morgan, my best friend and practically my sister.
