When sixteen-year-old Melody Goldman is in a car crash, the part of her brain that allows her to see is… damaged. Now blind, she realizes how many of the things she loves to do are impossible now. Reading. Writing. Band. 

She refuses to allow that to stop her. This is her last year of high school. She wants to finish things right. She wants to march in the marching band. 

Can she do it?

A/N: I've noticed that this book gets a lot of attention from my fellow band students. I'm very sorry to say that I'm not currently working on any new chapters, nor do I think I will be in the forseeable future. I am very sorry to disappoint, but I wasn't sure where the plot was going, and in the distant future, I just couldn't see this book as being something I could publish. It was just a funny little side project for me, and then I started getting comments on my page about it, and I felt guilty about leaving everyone hanging, so I'm just clearing the air.

"I see the world and it seems like I see it so differently than most other people. It makes me really angry most of the time. Especially since no one ever listens to me or what I've got to say. I try to express myself in so many different ways and no one sees it. When I sing a song people will only care about how the music sounds or how much I swore. If I paint, people will see the picture but not the meaning. It seems so obvious to me but everyone just seems to... close their eyes. Or at least shut off their brain. As if I see things they don't. But when they don't listen, how can I communicate that to them? It's so frustrating." Allie is a high school student and has big plans to make the world a better place. But her own head is pitting against her, throwing rocks in her path on a daily basis. Everything seems to be great for a while but what happens when her world suddenly comes crashing down around her? Can she ever recover? A coming-of-age story that deals with mental ilnesses, grief, first loves and family, briefly taps into the subject of religion and will likely enrapture you. Trigger warning: mental illnesses, self harm, death, dealing with grief, mentions of guns and gun control, mentions of cults, mentions of homophobia, dissociation. Names of bands, band members and song titles have been changed but at this point I want to credit mainly Palaye Royale, the band 'Homesick Soldiers' that is mentioned throughout is heavily based off them, but I'm sure if you're familiar with them you would have been able to tell that :)

"It's beautiful" I sigh. "Yes it is" Blaze whispers next to me. I looked at him and saw he was just staring at me. "Why are you staring?" "Because it's a beautiful view" I lightly hit him and laugh. "I think I'm psychic" he blurts out. "Why?" I laugh at the randomness. "Because I can see you in my future" he laughs with me. "Is this a cheesiness competition?" I raise my eyebrow. "It wouldn't be a competition if I already won" "Cocky much?" "You love me though" "Nah" I laugh. "Let's start!" "Roses are red violets are blue, I can't rhyme but can I date you?" "No, but that was good" I admit and start thinking."Are you a magician? Because whenever I look at you everyone else disappears," I grin proudly. "Was your dad king for a day?" he starts. "No, why?" "He must have been to make a princess like you," he winks and I roll my eyes with a smile. I pretended to receive a call and he frowns at me. I put the phone down and pretend look worried. "Who was it?" he asks. "The cops, there was a theft" I say. "What? By who?" he looks really worried that I almost feel guilty. "I told them you stole my heart" I laugh and he just stares at me. "You got me but you know what? I'd never play hide and seek with you because someone like you is impossible to find" he smirks. "Fine, you won" I groan. "Teach me your ways, Sensei" -*- What if you only have 31 days to live? What would you do? Sulk and be contented of the short-lived life? Catherine Walsh is a normal girl with an abnormal situation. She was diagnosed with "Cooley's Anemia" and had her life on a string. She plans her Bucket List. She does it with Blaze Weston. In this adventurous and romantic story, will love conquer all situations? -*- WARNING: This book has a lot of uncensored swearing, read with caution.

This is actually 2 books. (Both completed!) (I want to apologize for any spelling mistakes. I have edited, but there may be some) I ALSO HAVE A RETELLING. I PERSONALLY LIKE THE RETELLING, BC I ADDED A LOT MORE FATHER/DAUGHTER MOMENTS WITH FREDDIE & MEL, AS WELL AS I JUST ADDED A LOT MORE TO THE STORY. FEEL FREE TO CHECK IT OUT.

Now with a small daughter & Mary's support of his dreams, he becomes the lead for the band smile. Changing the bands name to Queen and adding the bass player John to the group, they become a close family, and Queen sky rockets. Everything seems perfect until Fred and Mary separate do to Fred revaluation. Now In 1983, 16 year old Melody finally gets to spend real time with her father. She sees her 'uncles' & fathers legendary lives first hand. Seeing Roger again for the first time in years, she can't help but feel off around him. Could he feel the same about Fred's daughter? *I started writing this story January of 2019.* In his defense. (Book 2 in the series) (1992-2007) The world lost an icon, but Melody lost her father. In the second installment of this book series everything is turned up side down with the passing of Freddie. John, Brian & Roger try and help Melody, keep the promises they all made to Fred & defend a man that can no longer defend himself. After the tribute show for Freddie on his 49th birthday, Brian & Roger are itching to tour again- How can they do that without the flamboyant lead singer? Roger starts his own band, & things get complicated.. FREDDIE MERCURYS MELODY (REDONE) *Out now* STARTING IN THE 70'S. FRED IS IN THE RETELLING A LOT MORE THAN THIS ONE. SURPRISES ARE ALSO IN THE NEW STORY. I'M REMAKING BOTH BOOKS & ADDING ANOTHER TO THE LINE UP. *YOU CAN FIND THE RETELLING OUT NOW* -Bri
