The strange thing about people is that at the sight of them, you don’t think too much about them. They simply appear normal and unimportant; just merely walking, or waiting for the bus, or doing grocery shopping – nothing else beyond the plain verb – maybe not even worth a second thought. People are very much like houses, yes, thank you very much. By which I mean: The outside doesn't really give much away of what's happening on the inside. Even though, funnily, most of our lives are occurring within. Thoughts, emotions, feelings, memories; the very basic essences of humanity are mostly invisible to the eye. But maybe that was the whole purpose of the human body, after all: to conceal. Today, I would like to particularly point out to you something else which can be hidden inside human bodies: secrets. Deadly little things they are, which can be not so little at times and rather more similar to a ticking time bomb that could wash out whole cities. In case you happen to be wondering; this story is about that one deadly little thing – a secret, which rips apart quite a number of people. Figuratively and literally.

What are the perks of having an internet friend, you said? Well, I’m very glad you asked, thank you very much. Well, apart from the obvious that is, which are; social interaction without actually having to meet people, getting to say, “my friend from –” and whichever country they’re from – which will make you sound like such an interesting traveller instead of the sun-deprived person that you are – and them having your backs whenever a bitch fight sparks up – because wow; who knew you couldn’t really express an opinion on the internet anymore?! But there are even more. Faye Ely, for example, even moved to Sweden, where her long time internet friend, Johan Brolin, lives. And well; here’s another perk – already having a friend in a new country! Then you’ll get to make friends with his friends, such as Johan’s band mates, in this case; Jolle, Pete, Jonas and Nikki. Well, isn’t that great? Now, the main reason Faye moves to Sweden – dragging her best friend Kayla Dannell along with her, of course – is because she wasn’t too happy back home. However, life in Sweden isn’t quite the easy-going life she had hoped for. I mean; the boys are lovely, of course. Johan, known as Jaybee, perhaps a bit too lovely towards her, which might be the reason why his girlfriend – or ex, or girlfriend; you have to read on to find out – to put it in a simple way; hates Faye’s guts. And then there’s the thing with the guy living across the hall from Faye and Kayla. Something is definitely up with him. Or so Jaybee thought. Or maybe there really is! I won’t bother you with anymore details here, but I guess if you want to know more; just read on.

This is the story of an outsider; a girl who is bullied and survives because of the bands she loves so much. The story of Serena Watson. Unknowingly how, she finds herself on an island which happens to be full of band members to her wonder and joy. This is the land for the broken. Together we will gather the strength and stitch these wounds. We will find the courage to stand up for who we are and for what we believe in. Andy Biersack, lead vocalist of Black Veil Brides happens to be the first person she meets here. Oh, and are those sparks I see between Serena and Andy?
