Kaden Arlend, hardcore Christian, most popular kid on the high school football team, loved by everyone, until he announces about his homosexuality. He lost friends, even though he still had many, some of his best friends had left and even declared war on him. 

While driving home on a Friday afternoon, nearing home, the unimaginable happens. His former best friend Jackson Harris stepped in front of the car. Though Kaden and Jackson hadn't been on good terms recently, he didn't want him to get hurt. In a desperate attempt to avoid the boy in the road, Kaden flips himself and his truck into the 15 foot ditch at the side of the road.

Although he lives through the peril, he doesn't escape unharmed. With at least fifteen broken bones and a punctured lung, death was unavoidable.  His parents made the final decision at the hospital, it was time to pull the plug. That is where the afterlife began. 


******Note to Reader******
This book is not meant to shame any religion whatsoever. I just really like new thoughts of what happens in the afterlife, and the shock that a devoted Christian would go through if there really was no God. So, with that being said, take this story with a pinch of salt. I respect any and all concepts of religion, so please respect this concept too. Take care! ~Aspen

Without All This Noise - an original story

12 parts Ongoing Mature

A band. A bond to last a lifetime. The summer before their senior year, and Nick's freshman year of college, everything changes when Nick suddenly overdoses without warning. Now, the three of them are forced to rebuild themselves. Their loyalty to the band, themselves, and music is tested with the arrival of their new drummer as they all struggle with their own personal challenges. Will they be able to pull through? Will they be able to listen to their souls, themselves, without all the extra noise and pressure of the world around them? TW: This story contains mature themes, including: mentions of self-harm, suicide, non-sexual nudity, guilt, grief, loss, depression, alcoholism, neglect, body dysmorphia, smoking, Christianity, and underage drinking. This story is not intended to glorify these things in any way, it is meant to address these issues as the characters learn to navigate past them. This story is about more than just this, though -- this story is dedicated to my love of rock music, and the healing powers music can have. This story is about growing up, and finding your place in the world, and learning to deal with heavy things such as mental health disorders, and how music can be a sort of self-healing and self-reflection, along with therapy.
